Am I doing this right?

I'll never forget baggage claim at SFO after that E3 where literally a dozen of these came tumbling onto the conveyor belt

This is amazing restoration work and I'm so appreciative of @polymatt.bsky.social's skill and attention to detail. S/O to @bambulabglobal.bsky.social for sponsoring!

Y'all, I know two hours is a big time commitment, but this panel I arranged and hosted last month is one of the most important things I've ever done for video game history. The launch of the NES is a crazier story than most people realize, and my guests were extremely generous with their memories.

I just want to put this out into the universe. If you are a homebrew developer of a GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SMS, MD/Genesis, N64, or PS1 game with a free version or a free demo of you game, I’d love to ship it with SuperStation as a physical or digital demo disk.

Early morning at the Alameda Flea Market. Picked up this Space Duel poster that I need to find more about. I was already interested in the ComputerMate floppy organizer and when I picked it up it was heavier than expected. So for $5 I now own the organizer and someone's C64 pirate/legit collection

Sour Patch Kids dethroned as most popular this year by newcomer Shin Ramyun!

Lol trick or treater's parents were dressed as 6 and 7 because "We're trying to make it jump the shark as quickly as possible"

Maybe this is some kind of psy op to get Americans into cricket

If/when they hit inning 20 they pivot to 1:1 hand-to-hand player matchups. Much like Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection releasing on October 30th

Googling Toronto productivity prop bets

I don't have a dog in this hunt but super long overtimes do bring back fond memories like the 1995 ALDS where Tony Pena ended it with a walk-off at 2am or 2000 Flyers/Penguins where they were shooting the puck into the stands so they could buy time to sharpen skates and wolf down slices of pizza

Honestly the consistency of the patina is quite impressive

The last time I recapped a PC LT I swore I'd never do it again. Somewhat comforting to know that even a subject matter expert found it to be a pain!

I was tempted by this laserdisc that appeared to just be level-by-level Space Harrier gameplay footage just to see how it was captured. Not $200 tempted apparently

Man I went from "I don't need another 3D printer" to ordering an H2D with dual AMS2s so fast... It just takes one enabling evangelist

This is a 100% do not miss panel at PRGE! First-hand account of the lead up to and launch of the NES in the US from a small and scrappy team when nobody knew about Nintendo. So proud of the work that @frankcifaldi.bsky.social has done to bring our panelists together today!

@papapishu.bsky.social You are here with us at Portland Retro in spirit

Fun Day -1 setup yesterday at Portland Retro Gaming Expo. Some vendors with some really unique stuff. Looking forward to seeing friends this weekend!

The Untitled (How Does It Feel) music video is basically an overscan tutorial for video editors of the era. R.I.P.

Though of this time capsule of a music video earlier tonight Martha Quinn Martha Martha Quinn... youtu.be/XJKCkPxMu9Y?...

Been messing around with the retrobrite process this weekend and have had some okay results. I also realized I took almost no pictures other than this NES Advantage in-progress

Cool things happening thanks to @nathaniellockhart.bsky.social ‘s Street Fighter: The Movie: The Arcade Game CPS1/2 harness! Now I can easily swap in the board for a quick fix instead of re-wiring the cabinet github.com/nateo87/Stre...

Headed to Portland next week for PRGE and in hindsight I should have bought this T-shirt I spotted at the flea market

I never considered buying a vintage Chuck E. Cheese-branded tray but it was $10 at the flea market and 100% my jam

I, too, learned from a kid that if you kicked the Frogger coin door hard enough it’d credit up. Though the method I learned was facing away from the machine and hitting it with my heel. Maybe it was the same kid going from town to town in the Midwest teaching kids how to play Frogger for free

@danryckert.com Listening to the podcast and just as I was picturing @janochoa.bsky.social with tattooed flames on his head you said "Jan Jan Bigelow" ♥️

@tolkoto.com @grubb.wtf Thought you two would appreciate my new desk mat. BNCBz!

All this rapture talk is reminding me of how awesome The Leftovers was and I should really start a re-watch

Takin a big ol’ DUMP

My Microvision memory: Found out a friend of a friend's dad had worked on the Microvision but didn't have one. I gifted him my collection + the system I got signed at CGE decades ago. Turns out it was signed by... his dad

I'm starting to get texts about this now so I guess I need to say something: There is a fundraiser going around about a "preservation disaster" raising money right now that I highly advise you to stay very far away from. A particular British tabloid is running with it unquestioningly. Thread:

This photo feels like the old Wheel of Fortune where you had to spend your winnings on whatever was in the showcase "I'll, uh, take the hentai boob lady PS2 memory card for $108?"

Loved supporting @jparish.bsky.social 's work here and hope it leads to more TurboGrafx-16 enjoyers!

R.I.P.

Last Electronics Flea Market of the year! Lots of customers, vendors, and deals! My heart wanted to make an offer on the TV & Radio vacuum tube toolbox but I'd never use it. Computer cart wouldn't fit in our car or else I think one of us would have bought it & some guy was selling his storage unit

Happy 40th Super Mario Bros! Here's one of my personal copies. The box is a little beat up and two dudes scribbled all over the front

Age verification? I messed up my dad's computer program by rearranging a stack of punch cards that he hadn't numbered yet

TIL Sean Archer's son in Face/Off was killed on the day the SNES launched in the US <does weird hand face motion>

My friend called me from the payphone outside of Toys R Us to let me know that they had the SNES in stock and I think I set a land speed record getting there to buy one

I bought this in early access and honestly I wish there was a way I could give them the extra $20

Until this week, it's been impossible to play the games of the 1993 Pioneer LaserActive without one of the vanishingly rare, disintegrating consoles. Here's the story of the guy who's been trying to fix that for years -- and all the hardware and software he had to build to make it possible.

@charliejane.bsky.social Apologies for being late to the party! Second to last copy at Dog Eared Books

Dragon Con never ceases to amaze me. Behold! WAHfle House!

Anniversary memories! 30 years ago today I was putting on my red CompUSA polo getting ready to sell hard drives and RAM upgrades to people lined up to purchase Windows95

Kidz Bop Street Hawk

When do we get the inevitable Doritos-branded hongbao?
