Sealed crank bearing on my spin bike blew out today. Never had that happen before. I have ruined bearing sure but this literally blew out with a loud pop. Chunks of metal spilled out as I pulled it apart.

Ugh yeah I saw some of that.

Silent Hill F combat and item management is sort of ruining the experience for me. 😔 Running back and forth to drop items at save shrines because the limited inventory coupled with boss fights that are a slog is having me rethink whether I shelf the game for awhile.

Excellent points. There seems to be a lot more controversy than this related to this one release I see. Wild!

Yeah you know when you pay $80 for something you have expectations. Buyers remorse for not waiting on reviews. Buyers remorse for downloading the PDF to see what was in the book before it shipped. It will be an $80 paperweight unless I can unload it on eBay. 🤷‍♂️

Agreed, lots of opportunities for collaboration and these days pretty much all of the JRPGs have fan translations so seems like a missed opp

Haha indeed! maybe it should have been named, "Encyclopedia Bitmappia to English SNES RPG-like Games A-K"

I did not see the game list before. Maybe you should make that a little more prominent on mobile devices. Well at least I know now and probably won't buy anything else from this author. I already downloaded the PDF unfortunately.

@bitmapbooks.com Soo I usually stand beside your books but I feel a little ripped off here... If the author considers two Capcom beat'em ups RPGs then I clearly am not interested in Volumes 2-god knows how far this get drawn out for money. If it is a definitive guide why is it missing Japanese RPGs?

If the Punisher arcade game toy announcement awoken your interest in the game, we know a little podcast that spent 2 hours and 15 minutes talking about it...

The Punisher – Episode 059

The Punisher, a game of pixels and violence. Where players mercilessly prey on all. Anytime, anywhere.The next game in the MCBU is Capcom’s ode to grit and 90s machismo that started a longtime

Genki Switch 2 Case Woes... Unfortunately even the redesigned Genki cases seem to have zipper flaws. On 1st use the zipper stopped after rounding the far corner and the zipper separated at the corner causing my Switch 2 to be locked inside. Getting my console out wasn't easy but genki did refund

I am pretty sure you are NOT supposed to get to the banana this way but... Well I built a bridge with my big monkey brain skills 😁

The new Endor Han-Solo from HotToys came in and man is it awesome! It also has moveable eyes!

@nintendousa.bsky.social clearly you have lost touch with your fan base. Not sure how you can create a product targeting collectors then ship it in a box without padding so it can be easily smashed in the mail.

Today is the first time I have ever seen BigBadToyStore crash. They sent an email containing the last two constructicons and apparently all hell broken lose and the site has been spotty ever since. I managed to snag 1 of each... Can't wait to see Devastor in full movie masterpiece form!

Ooo new boardgames came in today!

Got some of these new gameboy dust covers from eBay and must say they are very nice and much cheaper than the scratched, yellowed and cracked OEM stuff you see now a days. Only difference are some mold circles and the lack of a Nintendo logo.

I haven't grown the SNES collection in over 15 years but Akihabara had such great prices I couldn't help myself! I think I made out pretty well.
