What a great day to be thankful for what you have! Once you start to see the value in “obsolete” technology, it’s impossible to justify just how short our upgrade cycles have become.
Call me crazy, but I think TVs, phones, computers, etc SHOULD last for decades.

I used to think that my feelings on games looking more unique when I was a kid was mostly nostalgia. Turns out I was just right all along. This is a video about that.

I started playing Stray Children yesterday (just released on Steam & Switch) and I'm thoroughly charmed. Think Earthbound meets Undertale. The art style is so unique and hand-crafted, the music is funky, and it's simultaneously silly and emotional. Go play!

Finished the fourth ending of Silent Hill f, and what an evolving story. I feel awful for anyone who stopped (before or) after the first ending. The pure genius of this series is its ability to transform the most horrific nightmare into a journey of understanding and acceptance.

The lead-up work for conventions is so stressful, but seeing so many folks connect with systems from Japan makes it all worthwhile.

Yeah it was a fun 30 years. My mom got paid 6 figures for writing one-page press releases. My dad had a pension. You simply could not make them understand that their world is gone.
like I can't really do it justice to describe lol, so many articles constantly
boomers didn't seem to understand how we got paid nothing and couldn't afford houses/families with cheap low-rung jobs, insisting we were actually just super lazy and entitled to money we didn't deserve

I keep thinking about how a couple weeks ago, i was settling up with a contractor who quoted me $300 and gave me a 10% discount, and I go "oh that makes it easy, so $270 yeah?" and he looks at me like I just grew a third arm, unable to speak, for a few moments before punching it in his iphone. 😟

I keep thinking about Puppy Love Story for the Casio Loopy. It's got to be one of the most unexpected, wildly entertaining games I've played in years. And surprisingly poignant, too. That alone made getting a Loopy worth it.
