I called off work pretending I'm sick, but the bar I want to go to is too close to my job. Don't know how I'm going to do it, but I'm going!

Fan sites and shrines. The good old days.

Two tokens from two different defunct arcades. #arcadeSky #gamesky #arcades #gaming

I'm so far behind. PS5, Switch 2? I still need to beat like 50 unplayed games on both systems before I consider getting the new ones. Smh.

Reminder that I write blogs about arcades. I update every two to three years, but still... reminder: caarcadetourist.blogspot.com

My friend is visiting from England and wants to hang out in cool new places... I don't know any, sadly.

Anyone who beats this game deserves a medal. It's so hard!

Retro_ROMancer @retroromancer.bsky.social · Aug 23

At least you keep it retro. I talk about anything but retro.

If you see this, QTP with a game you would instantly buy if it got remastered/remade!

When I was younger, I was able to muscle through sickness, anxiety, hangovers, heartbreak, lack of motivation. But now that I'm more older and vulnerable, I feel like I need to reevaluate my strengths.

Going to work sick was nothing to me back then, but today, it was living hell. 😪

I struggle with finding a medium too. Too short to be a published book, too long for a blog. smh

Retro_ROMancer @retroromancer.bsky.social · Aug 20

That was a good three day weekend... back to work now.

Don't want to detract from my retro gaming theme, but I'm enjoying taking photos too much. #photographySky #photosky #photography

Best emu hands down. I'm still waiting for it to come back.

Retro_ROMancer @retroromancer.bsky.social · Aug 20

Testing out my new camera. Despite it being an old 2007 Canon, I am a bit disappointing on how crips and clean it looks. I kind of remember old cameras having a more grainy and rugged quality to it. Still, having a lot of fun with it.

Yeah, tomorrow hopefully. But seller didn't include the SD cards it was supposed to have. Not going to nag him about it so I have to get my own.

Retro_ROMancer @retroromancer.bsky.social · Aug 16

GM. Just bought a new camera. Maybe go out, do some urban hiking, take some photos.

Not a hard liquor guy, but this looks appetizing.

Last day of work. I get out at 11pm. Should I hit the gym, or hit a bar?

Retro_ROMancer @retroromancer.bsky.social · Aug 16

Best: Pho from some dingy hole in the wall in Yuma, AZ.

Worst: Russian restaurant in San Diego with their lame chicken plate. SoCal is a bit rare on Russian cuisine, but I definitely need a second opinion.

That app whips. Still using ZSNES so I feel ya.
