What would you bring to an adult show and tell? - eviltoast

I don’t necessarily mean adult as in NSFW.

I’d probably bring in my RG280V. It was my first handheld emulator. I had emulated games on my phone in the past and even used a Bluetooth controller but playing on it felt different. More real in a way.

I grew up with the Game Boy so the idea of having thousands of games on the go is pretty neat to me.

I’ve since moved on to the RG405M.


What about you? Do you have anything neat or special to you that you could talk about for a couple minutes?

Would love to see photos as well

    My nVidia-branded plastic “sculpture” with a laser-etched 3D Eiffel tower and an actual pre-production GeForce 3 GPU embedded.

    In the early 2000s I worked for a small game studio and got the attention from Nvidia for how we used their graphics cards. They wanted us to adapt our game to their new secret GeForce 3 project which was the first programmable GPU (as in shaders).

    It was a crazy time with a lot of stories to tell. We got invited to the press conference for the new card, which was held in the Eiffel tower. Yeah, they actually rented the Eiffel tower.

    As a thank-you for the work we’d done their developer relations representative had these made for all of the external game developers involved.
