He just lays like this when he's comfortable!

Oh! Uh, I... I think I'm ok without asking.

Some idiot left the dumpster in front of the shop instead of out back!
The rear end of a Tesla Cybertruck parked in front of a bakery that is in what used to be a residential house. The Tesla hilariously has a personalized license plate that reads "THXELON". Naturally, this is all taking place in Nashville.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 got me parrying so hard I broke my Xbox One controller 😲 (I was attempting to fight Grosse Tete)

Also, here's a comparison to standard Game Boy and Game Gear cases, it's almost a hybrid of the two!
Three translucent plastic cases for handheld games, including one for Sega Game Gear, one for Nintendo Game Boy, and one for the weird SUPER GAME 15 in 1 bootleg cartridge.

Check out this wild bootleg that I just got! It has 15 games on it, although it does not save your progress in Super Mario Land 2. The reset button doesn't appear to actually do anything, so you have to flip the power switch to change games. I love how weird this thing is and its extra long case!
Bootleg Game Boy cartridge inserted into an original Game Boy. The cartridge is approximately twice as long as a normal Game Boy cartridge, so it sticks out really far. Bootleg Game Boy cartridge sitting on a wooden desk. The cart is twice as tall as a standard Game Boy cartridge. The label says SUPER GAME 15 IN 1 on it. An extra long case for a bootleg Game Boy cartridge. The case seems more similar in design to a Sega Game Gear case than a Nintendo Game Boy case. A double height bootleg Game Boy cartridge inserted into a Game Boy Advance. The extra height of the cartridge looks especially strange in the GBA. The screen shows the first eight games on the cartridge. In order, they are 1) Super Mario Land 2 2)Star Hawk 3) Darkman 4) Blue Brothers 5) Dark Wing Duck 6) Flint Stones 7) Parasol Stars and 8) Robocop 2.

A few more games! I go for a month or two without buying anything, then it's all at once 😅 Quattro Sports matches my copy of Quattro Adventure on NES, and Raging Fighter is a 2D fighting game I've always been curious about for Game Boy. Also I got the PlayStation light at Goodwill for $4, not bad!
A complete-in-box copy of Quattro Sports for the NES. The box is laying next to the loose cartridge, which has a reflective gold finish. Next to them is a loose cartridge of Raging Fighter for the original Game Boy. The games are sitting on a wooden desk An illuminated PlayStation sign, it has a green triangle, a red circle, a blue X, and purple square, all lit by internal LED lights. It is sitting on top of a shelf of Sega Dreamcast games in jewel cases.

A cartogram distorts the geometry of features based on a variable. Instead of displaying US states by their true shape, they're sized based on population. This makes the features look odd, but can illustrate distributions that might be difficult to see or understand. It's a dramatic technique :D
Map of lower 48 US states drawn in their correct shapes. The states are projected using the North American Datum 1983 Contiguous USA Albers equal area conic projection. This map would look 'normal' to a typical map reader. Map of lower 48 US states drawn with a contiguous cartogram visualization based on state population. The relative size and shape of the states is distorted in a way that a typical map user would find odd.

The birds are back for the season! They keep using this nest on top of some shelves in the garage. (I had to buy a second oil drain pan because I cannot move this one and disturb the nest)

Friday night marketplace haul! A little annoyed that the PS1 copy of Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter in the ad wasn't available because 'my brother wanted that one' 😓 That would have made it a crazy good deal, but it was still a nice price for some great games 😎

At Christmas my parents reunited me with two of these Zelda bath towels from my childhood. They're neat, and I'm not looking to sell them or anything, but I'm a grown-ass man, what am I supposed to do with these 😅
A Legend of Zelda child's bath towels. Link is drawn in the cartoon style from the original LoZ holding a sword and shield. There is a blue star burst graphic behind Link and the game's logo is above him with the Nintendo logo below. The whole graphic is repeated and flipped vertically on the top half of the towel

I got the new shelves installed! I also had to wait a bit for a few more stands to hold the handhelds. Now I just need to add a Lynx I, some Wonderswans, and Neo*Geo Pocket units to the mix :D
