Prices at the Kichijōji Hard Off were shite. And by that I mean they were in line with market prices. Such is life.

Pokémon Pokopia received a title id and product code. 0400 tid confirms it was developed for Switch 2 from the start (they could have updated the tid I suppose). It's also the first AAB* product code.

Hahaha!! The quiz? Is that what it is? I was very confused as well, especially because I cannot read more than three kanji

At one of my old jobs we had “no change Friday” where we wouldn’t make changes on Fridays because nobody wanted to work weekends when somebody inevitably fked something up

Feels like somebody made a change on a Friday and then quit 🥲

Couldn’t help myself! Picked up the My Mario wood block amiibo from Nintendo Tokyo today.

I did successfully resist the (rather expensive) full set, but maybe I’ll try to pick up just the amiibo from Mercari at some point.
