I finally got around to watching Riddle of Fire on Kanopy and it was one of the best movies I've ever seen. You would love it!!

I just finished the first edit my next 45 minute epic CRT video. It is my first project that took up more than one terabyte of disk space. It is currently a quarter of my SSD.

I don't get advertising. Apparently in Japan string cheese apparently makes you better at academics. at least it's better than extreme sports advertising for everything or Spuds MacKenzie.

If you're not watching three Japanese women perform classic video game music on a giant xylophone, then you're not using the internet right. Because synchronized retro video game music while wearing costumes is what it's all about.

I hope I can briefly sample some Kenny Loggins without getting a claim. I am sneaking anti-smoking messages but pro-trans messeges in my video. I guess I am against trans people smoking. It is bad for your skin and makes HRT not work.

True Facts: Whenever I am down I listen to the Japanese Navy Band perform "Space Battleship YAMATO" AKA Star Blazers and the all is right with the world. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQbM...

So I just fell victim to the classic AV nerd trap.

I gave in to the whim to move one device and I ended up having to redo the wiring for a ton of related devices.

I thought I would move my Panasonic DVD/VCR To my Panasonic Plasma TV so I can watch VHS.

Everyone's complaining about AI but no one's talking about stock photography stock video slop. This shit dominates Google image search and the amount of photo/video stock slop-filled YouTube videos is shocking. It's all shitty corporate clip art! I just want to actual photos from the 1980s

Hey, look at the official past time of Portland, Oregon

So the end of the Showa era and the start of the Heisei era also marked the start of the Lost Decade for the Japanese economy and general a downturn for the quality of anime. Anime peaked in 1989 and has never fully recovered.
Pre-email, how did Konami Japan work with the West? Via fax - here's a 1990 example from VGHF's Flitman papers: https://archive.gamehistory.org/item/8c88c4e0-0067-430e-9b50-73869f4e80ad (Games discussed: Nightshade, Castlevania II, Blades Of Steel, Bill Elliott's NASCAR Challenge, new.. emperor?)

Whatever I get comments from lazy people who think that they don't "have space" for CRT TVs, I just want to tell them that I doubt their commitment to Sparkle Motion and they are not trying hard enough. I bet they have a giant shelf of cardboard boxes that you can't play.

It is 2026 and I just opened up a brand new NES Game! At least from a North American perspective. Previously released in Japan and Scandinavia

Optimus Prime is a Gundam.

Both actually shared the same Mecha designer.

I'm glad I actually got home from work early enough to let the Great Pacific Northwest Orange Floofcat out for a walk before it got totally dark.
