This afternoon the doorbell rang, and I opened the door to find a pair of elementary age girls going door to door selling “squishables”.
“What’s a squishable?” I asked.
The younger of the pair looked scandalized. “Didn’t they teach you ANYTHING in school?” she said. “They’re things you squish!”

For Gundautumn ’25, I watched The Witch From Mercury. It's easily the best thing called Gundam since War in the Pocket.
I have also come to a decision about A.I.: the only way I will invite it into my home is in the form of an actual functional Haro. BUT only if it includes GWitch's murder mode

I spent the weekend working on an Analogue 3D review that ended up fizzling for various reasons. No fault of the console's, though... part of the problem is that I need to totally overhaul my recording and editing setup to correctly capture its high-end features, as you can see: youtu.be/792g4IDUnBY

In the decade-plus I've been making my weekly videos, Rebecca was the only developer to have jumped into my comments to clear up a point I was unclear about—then she graciously agreed to be on the podcast. I found her to be as generous and kind as she was talented. It's truly tragic that she's gone.
In hearing of the passing of Rebecca Heineman, I thought it would be worth sharing this wonderful interview she did on @retronauts.bsky.social:

Jeremy, did you buy a record just for a cover version of “Konya Wa Hurricane”?
Haha, no, of course not. There’s also some cool Anamanaguchi jams on here!

In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.
