Friday!

A pint glass filled with frothy beer sits on a dark tabletop beside a white handheld gaming console. The console’s screen shows a menu listing retro game systems like Game Boy and Game Boy Advance, with soft blue lights glowing from its buttons. The scene has a relaxed, nostalgic vibe.

Pick one?

Two handheld gaming consoles sit side by side on a sticker-covered laptop. The device on the left is a black rectangular model with a Game Boy-style layout, showing a menu with options like “Collections,” “BitPixel,” and “Game Boy.” The device on the right is a black clamshell model with colorful A-B-X-Y buttons, displaying a similar game menu listing “Game Boy,” “Game Boy Color,” and “Game Boy Advance.” Both screens are on, connected by charging cables, surrounded by stickers featuring characters like Jigglypuff, Hello Kitty, and retro gaming icons.

I love my local vidya-games store 😅

A humorous handwritten sign taped to a glass door reads, “Whosoever pulls this handle, if they be worthy, shall possess the power of store!! (Door is heavy).” The reflection of the parking lot and sky is visible in the glass behind it.

Note to self: it is pointless to play Silksong if you have had a beer or two. 🫣😅
