Okay, my Patreon page is live. I'll be adding the free preview chapters of the books later today (as soon as I make sure everything is working), but there are some other things to read in the meantime, as part of my "Byston Well Primer Series"

That's generally the version I default to in my head. I'm also on Team Nie inside of Neil (but never Chum)

Basically I figured would never own a pc98 and that the msx would be enough to give me a taste, and then a pc98 showed up locally

I’m never going to own an FM Towns or an X68000, but…I can kind of see myself with another PC98

This is insane. I feel like I’m going insane when I’m watching this. Not just the fact that it’s clearly their fault, but the way a heavily-armed squad of masked thugs immediately jumps into the street and brutalizes the woman they just hit, despite having no idea who she is.

After a week off due to forgetfulness, the random game thread returns. Let's rummage through the SFC bin today...

Seiken Densetsu 3. Not a very exciting pick, but a random one.

A loose copy of Seiken Densetsu 3 for the Super Famicom, aka Secret of Mana 2 aka Trials of Mana

I think it looks better than it functions, ergonomically speaking, but I'm not a particularly skilled trackball user. Especially not with my thumb.

to be clear, the President is bombing civilians in international waters and sending the army into peaceful cities domestically but this fellow thinks he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3d

FOX: Do you think Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize?

FETTERMAN: If this sticks. I think the whole point of having a Nobel Peace Prize is for ending wars and promoting peace. And if he brings the Ukrainian war to its end, I will be the Democrat leading the committee for his Nobel Prize Peace.

I think it also depends if the sender is prepaying the tariffs. Amazon usually does, but this was coming from an Amazon seller.

Yeah, I've gotten enough pre-delivery shakedowns from them that I'd pick someone else if given the option, but in this case there wasn't a choice. I do appreciate that they give you the paperwork for it though, just in case there's ever a class action lawsuit or something

SpaceRunaway 🥐 @theideon.bsky.social · 4d

LMAO

the breakdown of the charges. The actual duties are listed at $2.88. DHL's processing fee is 17 dollars

Got a $20 DHL charge on an Amazon Japan package worth 1500 yen. Hm.

Although this guy probably could. He talks about both the reactivemicro drive and the floppy emu in this video (I have not watched it)

I was looking to see if there was something like this, but since it has to include an IDE board it's not that much cheaper than the drive emulator. I couldn't tell you the pros and cons of either solution, though.

SpaceRunaway 🥐 @theideon.bsky.social · 5d

oh right, these used external scsi drives, didn't they. I guess any option you choose is going to involve buying some kind of interface board

SpaceRunaway 🥐 @theideon.bsky.social · 5d

I still think Facebook has its uses. Today it reminded me about the suu ankou I got playing online 12 years ago

Wait is today not Saturday

SpaceRunaway 🥐 @theideon.bsky.social · 15d

Post a random game from your collection, here on Saturday

Okage: Shadow King, 2001. A game that I was always enamored with the look of when it came out, but didn't pick up until years later for cheap. I played through...a decent amount, I think? Never finished it.

I actually did well enough that I can breathe easy for a bit, so I won't be in as much of a hurry to list more stuff. That'll still be coming, though

SpaceRunaway 🥐 @theideon.bsky.social · 8d

Auctions end today, gotta put up some more stuff this weekend

SpaceRunaway 🥐 @theideon.bsky.social · 15d

Next month is looking a bit lean, so I'm ebaying some assorted things for bills. It's a weird mix of stuff.

SpaceRunaway 🥐 @theideon.bsky.social · 8d

worked for me!

SpaceRunaway 🥐 @theideon.bsky.social · 8d

Wow, I think I ended up making around double what I was expecting? (Assuming everyone pays)

SpaceRunaway 🥐 @theideon.bsky.social · 8d

I don't really want to sell any of my cels, but I might put one or two up for auction...
oh jeez DYRL cels have gotten a lot more expensive

SpaceRunaway 🥐 @theideon.bsky.social · 8d

I think it was superfluous for what I wanted, and in terms of things I could let go of atm that one wasn't too difficult. The disc thing was definitely worrying, and probably the reason I never got around to powering it on, but I've seen a lot of people say it's their preferred/primary pce console.
