Last weekend went by too fast, and I'm basically a husk at my desk today thumbing through photos and videos of LI Retro while working. Might toss up some more photos, or actually add something to the blog for once - either today or tomorrow. Yes, that was a self-callout.
I don't believe genAI was used for any banners made by the LI Retro expo team as most of what I saw was stuff I recalled from exhibits in past events. That Quest 64 placard is extremely random though. Not sure where it was to begin with, nor did it look like it was part of the N64 exhibit either.
Finally framed and hung up my signed poster from the "City Pop Waves - ANRI LIVE 2026 Timely!!' concert back in May. Looks really good, and definitely feels like my city pop fandom has been properly minted and preserved. 😁
Appreciated my time this weekend at #LIRetro! Tohru cosplay went well (even with the horns breaking), I procured a modest haul of items from the marketplace, and I had a great time with the Digital Bonfire crew. Looking forward to the next edition!
Sadly, no medal this year! Went down in round one of the NBA Jam tournament. Did kill some time in the arcade for a while before deciding to wrap up my time at #LIRetro this year!
On the tournament front, I was out in the second round for Smash 64 and I'm currently waiting on NBA Jam to begin! Last chance for a medal too... #LIRetro
It's a work-in-progress, so I can't show it! You'll see it on YouTube from @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social or a future retro games panel. #LIRetro
Going back-to-back with the #LIRetro panels! Nintendo and the Minnesota State Lottery with @frankcifaldi.bsky.social and @ianferguson.bsky.social up next.
Final day of #LIRetro 2026! Signed up for the Smash 64 and NBA Jam tournaments, and I'm just about to watch this panel ft. @mylifeingaming.bsky.social and Seth Fulkerson.
WE WON THE TRIVIA CONTEST!! #LIRetro Thank you @ashsaidhi.bsky.social and @feitclub.bsky.social for the fun times tonight! 😁
Time for my favorite part of #LIRetro weekend - Retro Trivia with @feitclub.bsky.social and @ashsaidhi.bsky.social!
First time wearing contacts, by the way. Takes some getting used to.
#LIRetro is pretty packed for Saturday! Maybe I'll pick up something for my master, Miss Kobayashi... 🐉🧹🔥
Got to see a Nintendo 64DD in action as well, along with a lot of N64 memorabilia that's part of a much larger Nintendo 64 exhibit for the system's 30th anniversary. #LIRetro
Also got to see the Nightmare Kart arcade cabinet in person too! #LIRetro
Finally taking my Neon White #vinyl records for a spin while I get prepped for LI Retro weekend.
And that's 100% completion on the main story of Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered! 😁 I'll do the DLC episodes in the future, but for now, it's a wrap for me being the webslinger.
NEON WHITE official soundtrack vinyl get! Both parts too. 😁 Thanks for the drop @iam8bit.com!
6 hours of gallivanting and running around, I got all 44 achievements and made it on to the #Vket Grandmaster board. 🏆 And to think I would've missed out if it wasn't for the extra 24-hr extension... so thank you @vket.com / @en.vket.com organizers! See y'all for Winter Vket 2026. 😉👍🏾
Drag x Drive actually surprised me with how fun it was. The control scheme actually worked well, I had some really good games with players online, it was priced fairly at $20, and I was always eager to jump back in and learn how to play better.
And yes, I read the article. I still take umbrage at the idea of "Nintendo solely exists in their comfort zone". Yoshi and the Mysterious Book flipped the script. If you wanted a Nintendo roguelike so bad, did you play Splatoon 3: Side Order? And more WarioWares? Did you buy Rhythm Heaven Groove?
Yep, VERY flashy. I haven't played (or got good with) enough tag fighters to form a solid opinion, but there's definitely the feeling that initial matchups will be a lot of stringing together auto-combos + knowing which partner characters to choose in order to be the most obnoxious. #MarvelTOKON
...whoa, I blacked out there for a moment. I thought I heard there was a-- HEY, WHO DID THIS 🫣
Clocked out of work, and the package is secured. Time to go raiding, squids! #SplatoonRaiders
