I have a little notebook I use for Dragon Quest Japanese practice. I translate the menus and items and then work on handwriting. I wish I could say that some of it is starting to stick, but I'm having a hard time learning the characters...

I found some covered bridges local to the area. Love seeing old things still in use.

It's been a while since I've had a copy of The Legend of Zelda. Saving Princess Zelda after an hour and a half felt pretty good!

Here's a #scanlinesunday

I love closeups of CRT screens. The pixels start to break apart around the scan lines.

I need to get a remote for my tiny Sony TV to reduce the brightness and fix the contrast. Probably needs to be degaussed too. Ah well. I'm

Picked this up at the local used book store. $3.95.

Totally worth it.

Happy 40th anniversary!

Of all the Famicom/NES games I've rediscovered- Solomon's Key is one of my favorites. Great game play. Easy to learn. Some of the puzzles are really tricky!

All of the advertisements and commercials for Super Monkey Daibouken hyped up this incomprehensible game during the Famicom heyday. The speed run is around 5 minutes!

Dragon Quest III caused a sensation on release that reached news outlets around the globe. This cart still has a couple save files from almost 40 years ago!

The recent HD-2D remake is really nice too!

I got a tiny pocket radio. I've been listening to the radio more. Skimming through the stations because I'm bored and because I want some random interference in my music life. I need to hear new things. At one time it was the only way I could get music recommendations.

Watching the 400th episode of Gamecenter CX: Ai Senshi Nicol!

They're still playing games I've never heard of. Congrats to GCCX and Arino for all the years of incredible video games. Can't believe I've been watching this show since 2010.

I actually picked up a signed copy of Equinox by Jean-Michel Jarre.

I really love the little clay figure they made and photographed for this label.

Everyone needs a Moog synthesizer.

Make noise. Make music.

Fired up the Vita to play some Luftrausers. Such a great game. Criminal that it isn't on PS5.
