May I recommend: The Play-Yan Micro
Finally sorted out the means to listen to the 78rpm records that were included with the hundred-year-old music cabinet that my parents gave me a while back, and they are EXQUISITE
For the NC kids: Monya Ramen is right next door to Sushi Mon, and you should go there now
OK, this place has our enthusiastic thumbs up. Everything is scratch-made, including the tofu, the portions and proportions are great, and the flavors are full but delicate
Fitting way to spend the first rainy afternoon we’ve had in months
Taking the new ramen joint (run by our favorite sushi joint owner) for a spin during its soft opening
It has taken YEARS, but I think my recording setup is back to full fighting shape at last
PlayStation book proofs are in and you guys are gonna LOVE it
Incredible cross promotion potential here
Get wrecked, weirdos who previously owned this place Once it sets for a few days, I can add the finishing touches and tackle the other walls
YEAH THAT’S RIGHT Now the healing can begin
In the words of Theron Nett, “Almost there….”
Thank you to the deranged previous owners for ruining a wall with such a demented high-contrast pattern that I’m going to have to apply multiple primer coats to hide your crimes
Goodbye at long last to this atrocious wall decor that I inherited for my office
The algorithm delivers once again
As someone who never advanced to full Captain rank, am I allowed to eat these?
Not sure about this visual style, looks like Link acquired the Triforce of Precious Moments here
Happy This One Weird Frog Day to you all

I find it somehow upsetting that the TG16 box art for Fantasy Zone depicts a person inside of Opa Opa. I guess I can't quite convince myself that this is a mutually consented-to arrangement. Do love the 1970s watercolor vibes tho
There was some speculation on the Retronauts Discord that TwinBee: Rainbow Bell Adventures never came to the U.S. because Konami couldn't figure out how to market it in the screamoid era of ’90s game ads, so I took it upon myself to lead the way
Fun fact: I bought a chair accessory for my Fei
Pretty sure that Fei Fong Wong’s pull-tab can of Soylent System grub is in the running for funniest action figure accessory of all time
Just discovered that a cardinal family has made a nest in the hydrangea right outside our porch, with at least one hungry l’il guy in there screaming for food. And that rules.
