A bit late, but I finally capped off the VMU Pro post I started writing back in December. At launch, things weren't so great. I think it's improved since then, but I haven't had the time to check up on it. theschlock.com/dreamcast-vm... #Dreamcast #VideoGames #RetroGames #VMU #VMUPro

This health insurance psychologist lady is pretty good. "Why did you gain weight?" "Because I stopped doing any exercise. If I just do it again, it'll be fine." "Seems like you're too busy." "Nah, it's okay" "Nah, I think you should do this instead." Now, all I'm thinking about is doing exercise.

The new Fzero 99 event is really fun. :) Although, with all the new interest and full lobbies, it's been more difficult for me to get some high placements.

Outer Wilds, if you haven't played it yet, is one of the best games of all time. It's a fun space exploration game with a timeloop twist, and 90% of all game progress happens in your head, as you learn things about the universe and your situation. Absolutely play it if you haven't yet.

I found an absolutely beautiful house for sale in Takayama. I'm going to look into it more this week and talk with the realtor. The biggest problem is that it's in one of the outside villages, and my daily commute would be 20 minutes. Although, this village's small downtown area has everything.

Reposting bc people were lecturing me on the meaning of 大人 in Japanese. The machine translation problem here isn’t really “adult” (that’s just really funny) - it’s translating 生 as “raw.” 生 can also mean fresh, natural, draft etc. depending on context. 生チョコ isn’t “raw chocolate.”

2026 basically

So weird how so many people are still using Twitter regularly. Bleh… I think I might turn that account back on and cross post blog posts to compare numbers.

everyone who bought a Virtual Boy, this is you

saw this movie in theaters yesterday and i genuinely had tears in my eyes from laughing too hard while watching. its the movie of 2026 already for me and will be hard to beat. if its in theaters near you you absolutely need to see it

I was not expecting this episode from Voyager.

i can’t think about deer anymore without thinking of this tweet
