Also, stew is cooking but it won't be ready until midnight and I don't have any potatoes so I'm having potato waffles instead.
(I tried looking up the name for potato waffles in the US so that more people would understand this post, but evidently y'all don't have those)
How scary? Well, I have to remove some SMD components and then drag solder a flexible PCB onto some ICs.
SCARY.
Ya ever just spend like five minutes finishing up something that you started 12 days ago?
Anyway, did the thing. Now for some self-care and some PROPER scary soldering on the Dreamcast.
Kinda wild that the person who sold this MiniDisc player was putting up with the AA battery adapter when they could've just bent the terminal up a bit to make a solid contact.
I mean, sure there's a bit of acid corrosion going on in there, but it's working fine now.
