Everyone right now:

Things will be better 3 years from now.

Today's jam: youtu.be/EnGzLlwmjSU

Just think back to all the good times you had in quarantine.

"Radial’s long-term growth strategy for 'MST3K' includes new content development... Hodgson will remain involved with the property as brand ambassador and consultant." I could go for much more MST3K. I'm still baffled at not going to a monthly/annual new episode sub model for sustainability.

Even lazy Susan here can swivel it.

"Hi, I'm Max Keller." "I'm a seagull."

Sitting on this for NINE YEARS is fiscal malfeasance.

I only realized many years later that's supposed to be the upper outline of Ganon's snout, not a frowny face.

Nintendo Switch 2025 year in review dropped!

I present to you: The Legend. The Original. Mega Man! I’m not gonna lie, this one was difficult. The original North American art was... a choice. So to fix it up, I did a cover art fusion—blending elements from both the NA and PAL regions to make something fresh.

kinda crazy i've just been lugging this around for 15 years, across state lines, through an eviction, through bankruptcy... it's just not something you let go

Also, look at how old Miyamoto is. He gets interviewed and talked to. But there are a lot of other developers from that era that don’t. Better hurry up and talk to them, no-one’s getting any younger

If you like Japanese video games, give a follow! That's mostly what I post about. 日本のテレビゲームお好きならフォローしてください！ほぼそれについてばかり呟いてる。よろしくお願いします。

Winner! Thanks for playing.

Round 24, FIGHT!

The real game awards!

It's a 3-day weekend! 🎉🎉🎉 #成人の日

I guess I'm pretty well-travelled, but haven't made much progress since moving to Japan.

A de-Trumpification and abolish ICE candidate could win in a landslide.

Duolingo Japanese cleared in about an hour, most of the time on ads. It goes to level 100 and covers material through N4 or N3. It gets the readings on some Kanji wrong in context as you tap them to form sentences. Maybe okay as an intro or review, but it's not for serious study.

It would only take transplanting roughly 60,000 right-wing lunatics for them to get 2 more R senators, about 1/10th the population of the current least-populous state, Wyoming.

Happy 52nd Birthday to Cammy!

So I saw a YouTube short from a channel I'd watched sometimes doing nothing but bashing the N64 and thinking it's funny. It's the only time I've ever pushed the dislike button. Let people enjoy things.

My New Year's resolution is 2622 × 1206.

The Nintendo 64 turns 30 this year.

Happy New Year 2026 from Japan! 新年明けましておめでとうございます！ 今年もよろしくお願いします！
