The Chris Nolan remake wasn't streaming for free anywhere, so I put on the 1997 original. 👍

Link, Zelda, and Ganon from the ever amazing 1990's Japanese dance commercial: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjpH...

I'm high-res rescanning the two 1991 #LttP Shogakukan guides and it has these nice, clearer, photos in the back of the first one. #Zelda #Nintendo #Famicom

I've bounced off this one so many times, but I decided to give it another shot for Spooky Season.
I can admit that it's a charming, little movie with a great premise and very charismatic cast. 👍
But I just can't hold it up as anything more than that. There are so many better 80s comedies out there.

The Japanese Mario 64 official strategy guide is an incredible thing. "Can we make little hand-made dioramas of all the levels?" "Sure, why the hell not."

A model of the first level from Mario 64.

I’ve been going through my backlog a lot lately. Rather than splurging on even more games during a Steam sale, I’ve actually tried to finish the ones that have been sitting in my library.

uBlock Origin is my favorite, but it's been harder and harder to install that on Chrome.
Bye Bye, Google AI and Hide Google AI Overviews are both solid.

There are some really good browser extensions out there if you want to just block the AI Overviews.

Been thinking about this a lot and I think it’s gonna be a sort of video game travelogue in podcast format. Still looking for games set in each state, even if the setting is fictionalized or inspired by (think nitw Possum Springs)

Looking for books, movies, games (maybe some other media, but those first) set in each state for a project I’ve been floating around in my mind that may or may not eventually happen. Send recs pls
