A nice find and restoration at a local hardoff. Crazy good deal I couldn’t pass up.

She did pretty well for her first time playing. Needed some help from Dad with the steering. :)

Another restoration going well. :)

New shell arrived for my Sega Dreamcast. Decided to keep the original power and open buttons, along with the original controller port cover. Makes for a more balanced unit against the translucent blue. :) really happy with how it came out!

Played some Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse after repairing it. I, uh, needed some help to finish the game…

I’m so happy my s-video cables arrived for my Dreamcast today. The video really pops on my PVM. :)

I love a good restoration

There’s something about the original game boy screen that is just comforting, like the warm glow of a CRT TV or the static of analogue signals when a station closed down for the night.

Karaage-kun fried chicken at Lawson Japan with prided packaging!

A kid got mad when he missed the spelling of the word ‘April’ in class: "aaah!" he yelled in frustration. Me, without missing a beat: "No, (student) it's pronounced /eɪ/ "

Finishing one of my favorite games, “hey! That guy likes my posts sometimes..” @nobogasawara.bsky.social ;) thanks for making my childhood awesome. Crystal was the first Pokémon game I owned.

Went and bought a cheap copy of Smash Bros. Melee on GameCube today. Was shrink wrapped. Open the wrap, the familiar stench of cigarette smoke wafted out. Guess I now have a copy of Super Ash Brothers.

I bet these taste like shit…

Was out retro game hunting on a Sunday morning… found Jesus

Today’s restoration project: all Original parts minus one capacitor and a new screen lens.

Love having an app that lets me get shots of my PVM. :) (Kirby’s Dreamland 2 via S-video on Super Gameboy)

Nowhere near the tsunami, but I am in Japan, and got to deal first hand with the 2011 quake in Christchurch, New Zealand. The news coverage and the announcers yelling at people to run has brought out quite a bit of unresolved trauma for me. Ugh.

🚨Tsunami reach Japan Sea coast following major quake🚨 I’m not sure about the current appearance of the thread on Bluesky, but by our experience of the Great East Japan Earthquake, IT FEELS AS SERIOUS AS THAT happening now. So I can’t help posting from the safer place, just as same as I did in 2011.

A massive magnitude-7.4 earthquake has struck Ishikawa Prefecture, in central Japan, along the Japan Sea coast. A major tsunami warning has been issued for the pref. Also issued for Niigata, Toyama, Yamagata, Fukui and Hyogo prefectures, also along the Japan Sea Coast. www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/...

Tsunami have been reaching the Japan Sea coast. Tsunami will repeatedly hit the coast and may become higher. People in those areas must evacuate immediately. Stay on the alert and escape to higher ground and go as far away as possible from the coast. www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/...

None of the US news channels and even BBCWorld news isn’t covering it, but hey turns out we have NHK world, who knows. So now watching their coverage, good news no abnormalities at any of the nuclear power plants as of now.

As is tradition in our house, KFC and Home Alone on Christmas Eve.

This is NOT what I meant when I said I wanted to find myself in Japan…

I have the best friends….

Oh goody. My diverticulitis has decided to flare up again. Just what I need….

So I found a CIB copy of Spot on the Famicom. I never even knew it got a Famicom release. The cart inside is PRISTINE.

This made me cackle!

Getting ready to introduce Japanese kids to one of my fav indoor games as a kid…

How's your day going? I'm sitting in my office with very little work to do, and very few coworkers around. debating putting netflix on if they leave.

So, I found this game in a gamestore in rural Japan. It was only released in Asia countries outside Japan and Brazil. Got it for a steal cos I don’t believe the store knew quite what they had….

Nakatomi? Big Fan.

A Japanese Mega Drive playing an American copy of Sonic 3 locked on to a PAL copy of Sonic & Knuckles. Truly region free gaming!

Had a moment outside a famous geeky spot today…

Well damn. Pneumonia. Beats the hell outta OLDmonia I guess…

No, I don’t think I will….

Tower of Power - 8-bit edition! Famicom-to-NES converter + HES pirate cart + NES cart.

Well, this is my first post. Should maybe say something profound? “Always trust people who like big butts - They cannot lie.” That’s it, that’s the post.
