Yoshihiro Togashi is the only reason I'm still checking twitter. Right now he's posting daily Hunter x Hunter updates in the form of sketches of the Kakin princes, each one denoting he's finished the dialog for a different new chapter. 🙏

aaaaaaaa, I had this scene as a phone wallpaper for a while. 🤩 would love to see it recreated with the level sets.

never thought i'd want to eat fries out a juice box.... i still don't, actually.

rabidrodent @rabidrodent.bsky.social · 1d

oh same, i'm absolutely loaded up on random youtube videos and twitter videos and everything lol. i'm plugging something into there practically every day.

rabidrodent @rabidrodent.bsky.social · 1d

oh... yeup, looks like a lot got taken down... 🙃
well, at least somebody grabbed 'em.

also if you dunno about it, i highly recommend using yt-dlp to download yt videos, if you're comfortable with a lil bit of command prompt. you can feed it a playlist/channel url and it'll pull the entire thing.

i'm pretty sure this collection was pulled from kukun kun's youtube channel, which is loaded with hundreds of old japanese video game tv shows + rare recordings of nintendo & sega's old 16-bit 'online' services

『スーパーファミコンアワー　サテラビュー』を中心に当時録画したビデオテープからデジタル化しています。今も昔もゲームプレイは上手くないです。 I can only speak Japanese. I understand it in translation somehow. むかしのテレビ番組も発掘しています。

I'm not sure any Smash hype cycle has ever matched the Brawl dojo. People becoming acclimated to "Japan time." Waking up at 3am to refresh the page for the daily update, just to see it's a random item or something. Wild times.

rabidrodent @rabidrodent.bsky.social · 1d

an announcement so monumental they slid in a stealth delay and nobody even cared

Sonic The Wereblog @sonichedgeblog.bsky.social · 2d

Sonic was revealed to be part of the lineup in 'Super Smash Bros. Brawl' with this 18 years ago today.

rabidrodent @rabidrodent.bsky.social · 1d

you can tell they were probably like "ok, jesus, that was really echoey, let's try something else for the outside take."

rabidrodent @rabidrodent.bsky.social · 1d

The cable guide is from the "TKR" company, from New Jersey, November 1992. The cover is advertising WWF Survivor Series, which I imagine is the only reason anyone held on to it.

There was a bumper sticker contest to win the PPV and a party for 20. (Bumper sticker unfortunately not included.)

rabidrodent @rabidrodent.bsky.social · 1d

seems the Nintendo Power is the "super power club" version of issue 44, which was like an expanded version of the issue for subscribers.

the Sega insert has a Jurassic Park poster on one side and a bunch of different game screenshots on the other.

I still have an Ubuntu live CD I burned back in like 2008 to recover files from a dead Windows installation. Still works, still did the job it was supposed to when I used it recently on an old laptop with a forgotten login password.

rabidrodent @rabidrodent.bsky.social · 1d

i honestly can't tell if this is just a picture of a bear waking up or if somebody is holding a funeral pyre for a dead bear

rabidrodent @rabidrodent.bsky.social · 1d

found some Sega paraphernalia, a jumbo Nintendo Power with no cover, and a cable guide from 1992

I actually have a poster of this ad I got from a carnival as a kid. One of those "throw a dart at a poster and win" games. I'm doubting it's official. But it's still one of my favorite Pokemon things.
