Never selling cards on eBay again. Either their authenticator damaged my cards and threw away the plastic holder they came in or the seller is having buyers remorse, but now my eBay funds are on hold until the cards GO BACK to the authenticator

My Tamagotchi is now 800 days old! 💪🦈

I am so close to reach my goal, just 200 days to go, this feels unreal!

Keeping a Tamagotchi alive this long is such an experience.

A photo of my Tamagotchi Uni with my current tamagotchi, Shykutchi, being 800 days old (800 years old for him)

At the bottom, an illustration of my old Shykutchi, wearing a hat and having a rainbow behind him.

He looks happy and pleased, smiling.

He also have a long beard and eyebrows.

Had a dream a while back in which I discovered the existence of the "Grave of the Fireflies/Super Mario World 2-in-1" for the Wii. It basically functioned as a DVD except for a "special features" section that literally only had an SNES emulator playing Mario World. It went for absurd prices on eBay

The cover for a fake Wii game consisting of both the 1988 Studio Ghibli film, Grave of the Fireflies, and Super Mario World; both are represented on the cover, the former by the poster of Seita carrying his sister Setsuko across a field and the latter by the artwork of Mario wearing a cape and riding Yoshi. The cover promises "TWO classics in ONE!".

You don’t have to purchase anything and it’s limit one per customer, it just prints out a receipt with a code. Ezpz. I reckon your GameStop cashiers just didn’t know the details proper

The new codes do print on a receipt, there’s no code card. They have to scan a sku and it prints you out the code, I got two today. Each GameStop only got allotted 50 codes

I’ve played 1-4 and now f and each Silent Hill game has stuff I like and stuff I don’t like. 2 and f have the highest proportion of stuff I do like

Silent Hill f is probably my favorite silent hill but I’d need to replay the originals at some point to know for sure (and play Bloober Twober)

Artwork used internally at DIC Entertainment during the production of the Super Mario World cartoon, replacing Marge Simpson with Mario. According to a former DIC employee, this was made due to an inside joke at the studio, though the exact nature of the joke has been lost.
