Don’t forget the shorter-lived HiMD format. I have about a dozen of these, and around 500 regular MDs recorded in HiMD format. I still use them daily.

@asianmanrecords.bsky.social I bought the Maguma Taishi acetate back in the day but misplaced the CoA.
Any chance I could slip you a few bucks (or make a donation, whatever) to have you toss one in with my Honor System records when those ship?

Sometime in the past ~5 years, mini cabinets became playable rather than a novelty. I just played straight through Real Bout Fatal Fury as Mai on *these* controls.
My home office has fun toys.

It’s a good day for new music, in this case, Sarno Ultra. Jon Worsley and @kaylapainter.bsky.social really nailed it here. Find it on Bandcamp and check it out.
The cassette body, barely visible here, is as pretty as the jacket.

Just finished Christmas shopping for my nieces and nephew. They each get one (1) ink pen this year, per the whatever the fuck nonsense T-stain keeps spitting about dolls and pencils.

My office mini arcade keeps getting better. 3 cabs (Atari and 2 variants of MVS Mini) aren’t pictured here but I have about 50 kinds of fighting in my home office now. Fatal Fury seems like a great way to destress on breaks.

Today’s a good day for vintage import gaming.
Driving Emotion Type S is still not great*, not even in a nostalgia way, so not exactly sure why I got it out.
*my opinion, ymmv

So I finally found a place for some stickers from the mid-90s, plus my R64 sticker to show love for @remute.bsky.social , but I may have gone a bit overboard with the Arc the Lad and AtL II stickers 😅

Not to get too political, but with the Street Fighter II Champion Edition mini cabinet, the mini arcade in my home office is coming together nicely.
I can Street Fighter, Virtua Fighter, or King of Fighters as needed. Also SamSho, Fatal Fury, Atari stuff, etc.

[2/2] Rather than spamming this image on every repost I do (and I'm bloody tempted) where LAMF, I'll just drop a boilerplate, "'I never thought leopards would eat *my* face,' sobs, oh, about everyone who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party."

Who wants to bet that hiring managers and packing plant owners will play the victim card and cry that nobody wants to work anymore? Again.

I still reserve the right to shitpost. Original tweet sourced from r/LeopardsAteMyFace, someone upset that the hiring freeze EO is impacting them.
Two takes, and both kinda suck, but here we are. This is one of the ways I de-stress at times like this.

Praise Musky Husky for deleting the Woke Mind Virus™️
I wish this meant that they'd all shut the fuck up about it, but they won't. Can't wait to see him dust off Cultural Bolshevism or some other actual Nazi trope while he's propping up AfD, though.

My Festivus pole is up. And I have grievances to air against the little calico asshole who's so curious about it.
It was she who woke me up at a stupid hour playing with wrapping paper, but I'll do the remaining cat shaming offline.
