Welcome to Vermillion.lu – the blog nobody asked for, but everyone secretly needed. If you love retro gaming, collect handheld emulators like rare Pokémon cards, and get excited about gadgets that solve problems you didn’t even know you had – you’re in the right place.
I write about everything that’s been fueling my nerd‑core since 1992 when I got into my first video games, from pixel‑heavy classics to modern handhelds that could probably run a small country. You’ll also find personal thoughts, tech curiosities, and the occasional Nordic obsession. Because… why not?
The site is still under construction. Translation: It is a side project – which is growing, evolving, and it will eventually contain even more content you can show your friends so they finally understand your hobbies.
Grab a coffee, dust off an old Game Boy cartridge, and enjoy exploring my little corner of the internet.
