Did GUI-BBSes see any wide use (even if it was only "wide" in the context of BBS users), or did they show up just a smidge too late to not get steamrolled by the World Wide Web?

(If you're wondering: I think that 99% of those Fakemon are either too conceptually rotten to fix or too immature to hold my interest. Usually both at once.

(And I'm gonna keep Psychmin, because I like Pokemon that are essentially Just Women. :U)

Selling articulated figures with glued joints should be worth a stern talking-to, at the very least.

Happy birthday!

Wonder if the dismissal of any works produced outside of SEGA of Japan ties into the insistence of some fans that SatAM and/or Underground couldn't have been Sonic projects at conception, even though the earliest materials for both were very much for Sonic.

This was/maybe still is a problem with the Megaman fandom, too. Reliance on fan translations for the full picture swiftly becomes "the localizers are HACK FRAUDS", regardless of what resources they had or if some things just don't translate from high-context to low-context languages.

With Pillowfort, it's because they're kept afloat entirely through user donations, right?

I don't post much there these days, but I'd really like for them to not, yannow, crash and burn like Cohost did.

You (general "you") might as well put up a big neon sign reading "HEY, WORST PEOPLE ON THE PLANET, COME TANK OUR PLATFORM"

Yeah. DX It's the last thing I need to fix, and also the part I look the least forward to.

(Additional trivia: both he and Ryo-Ohki were produced by a US-based company, Animetrix. I think Ryo-Ohki got a second run w/Pioneer and Dragon Toys.

AFAIK, this is Ken-Ohki's ONLY official plush; reminds me of how Meilin [Cardcaptor Sakura]'s only doll was US-made.)

This was what he looked like before I started. A steal at ~$35 (compared to the $100 he hovers at), but WHOOF; feels very "given to a little kid who took him everywhere".

All the Ken-Ohkis I've seen are either pristine (like my Ryo-Ohki) or similarly-worn.

Christ. Weird knee joints are one thing, but those bootleg-tier QC blunders make me question if any QC passes were taken at all.

If it wasn't clarified, then I'd swear that this was originally a Mac game. Something about the art direction (and the compression) feels distinctly "Mac" to me.

This guy's definitely going to do something hideously illegal with those photos (and also not take down the reported works).

I feel wary enough of necklaces made from spent bullets; I can't imagine getting excited over a gaming handheld made from ATTACK DRONES.
