⚠️ CAUTION: GHOSTS CROSSING ⚠️

First sighting of the council's new signs in the wild...
A roadside sign on a country lane: two spectral fading semi-transparent humanoid figures, holding hands, inside a red warning triangle.

Yeah he was president of Nintendo for 30-odd years before they even got into video games, then he spent the last twenty years of his career defining the console industry and going from arcade to Famicom to Gameboy to Gamecube

interesting quote - well worth following the link to see the full statement.

Also - Yamauchi was president of Nintendo from 1949-2002. That's... quite something

It's Nintendo's 136th birthday today, so here's the oldest quote I've got:

Yamauchi on the essence of amusement, 1984.

PEOPLE: - Hiroshi Yamauchi, age 56. Nintendo President from 1949 to 2002. QUOTE: Yamauchi: Though the style of amusement is greatly influenced by the times, the essence of amusement is always self-realization and communication with others.

this incredible nebula image made me think of the cover of Meddle by Pink Floyd - despite that being a picture of an ear (though the original plan was for it to be…an image of a baboon’s anus)

They are strikingly different images yet a connection was still made

brains are unfathomable, I love that
The cover of Pink Floyd’s album “Meddle”. It’s an image of part of an ear with what seem to be water ripples on the bottom segment.
