Monday vibes, Street Fighter 4, PS3 & a book about the Waffen SS all in this photo. Book is titled, Waffen-SS Hitler’s Army at War, 2003 by Adrian Gilbert. Amazon, used 15 dollars.

The image shows a cozy and cluttered gaming and creative workspace set up in a small corner of a room. The walls are dark gray, giving the space a moody, focused feel.

In the middle of the desk is a large widescreen monitor showing an image of a character in red pants against a stormy background. In front of the monitor sits a colorful arcade-style fight stick with big round buttons, and nearby are a few small figurines and a computer mouse.

On the left side of the desk, there’s a laptop, speakers, and a white cylindrical smart speaker or light. A stack of video game cases, a small Kirby plush, and other toys sit on top of plastic drawers that contain gaming accessories and controllers. Some posters of fantasy or anime artwork cover the wall above that section.

Under the desk are boxes, cables, and various electronics. To the right of the desk, there’s a record player or turntable with a thick book resting on top, and a racing wheel mounted to a stand against the wall for driving games. A white shelving unit nearby holds clothes and other items, giving the space a lived-in, personal vibe.

Overall, it’s a gamer’s den — packed, expressive, and full of personality.

I respect her as a wrestler career a great deal but the belt collecting bit has gotten a bit tired at this point. I also respect is her propping up smaller promotions so right on to that! You can’t say she’s hasn’t seen true wrestling universe in her travels. Back to WWE soonish one would imagine…

Now looking on eBay and don’t see much. I know they exist but are via Asian Dis parks, never cheap, even less now. I love pics of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit posed in Tokyo Disney Sea, etc. Those parks have special spots for such pics, yes for the plush.

Olu Mel & Chubby, yes Chubby(on the right) chillin’. Olu Mel needs outfits other than this one, yes outfits. I said it. :)

In the image, a plush turtle toy stands on top of a small stack of books. The turtle is bright green with blue eyes and wears a tan straw hat. It’s dressed in a short-sleeved button-up shirt decorated with tiny orange guitars, and matching striped shorts, giving it a cheerful vacation look.

Next to the turtle, a smaller plush figure — a chipmunk or squirrel with a tan-and-cream body and big black eyes — sits on a lower surface, gazing upward.

Behind them are shelves stacked with books, DVDs, and game boxes, including one that says “Stouffer’s” and another labeled “Overlord.” The lighting is dim, casting a cozy, slightly cluttered atmosphere, as if this is part of a personal collection or hobby corner.

Have you ever viewed the Red Bull mountain bike event called Rampage? If not it’s like nothing else in sports for location alone in Virgin, Utah, USA. Throwing themselves with bikes from one rocky crevice to another, nothing like it. #FreeRide

Standings after the first of two rounds. These women are pushing the progression of freeriding. There is a lot of talk about uplifting women's cycling and a huge metric of success is viewership of televised content. So if you care, please watch!!

Collection’s of the fighting game gods/goddesses! Arcade perfect Third Strike would be a welcome addition. Perhaps someday but to have all of this is within grabbing distance is perfect! #Capcom #FGC #CapcomFightingCollection

The image shows a PlayStation 5 console standing vertically beside what appears to be another large white console, likely an Xbox Series X or S. Both are positioned on top of a black subwoofer or speaker box. On top of the consoles, there are three PlayStation 4 game cases stacked neatly, including two copies of Capcom Fighting Collection and one of Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Arcade Classics. The setup sits beside a desk with other electronics, including a black speaker or soundbar, and there’s a chair nearby. The area is part of a gaming setup in a room with wood flooring and light-colored walls.

Loving this anthropological like dig into the Love Park trick history. I did skate there a few times early in the 90’s but form fuzzy memories it was all locals, Stevie Williams was 14 or 15, something like that. This is very good though.

Was listening to a few mixes this morning many of which were in well chosen locations. A Japanese women spinning music in a stationary store in JP, etc, but this one still stood out. It’s set in a pressing plant, dub techno, deep techno, all vinyl, workers moving, love.

From Reddit, love this photo of him and daughter that was posted there. I’m assuming daughter correct me if wrong. Beautiful & enjoying their day at Tokyo DisneySea.

Tomonobu Itagaki, RIP, a producer of great renown even though the last thing I remember him doing was the title he created for the Wii U.

Problem is, jobs in human services that require a license gives employers & “others” a range of options of abusive choices that can be carried out upon you once brought into the fold. Abuse is successfully achieved at either pole of work-life existence.

Do have a cert for your job paying 17-18 dollars an hour? No the fuck I do not, fuck off and take your abusive job offer elsewhere.

Music “I” enjoy, no edit button on this platform if far beyond annoying in 2025. Folks here still talk endless shit about Mastodon but their various methods of engagement have edit features.

To inject the human into my post, I understand and are able to see their emotional attachments to their longer hair. I’m not necessarily putting them down with the above but perhaps someone might read it as such. Not my intention, just ignorantly viewing the world via my reality and mine alone. :)

R/bald always annoys the shit out of me as someone who’s always shaved his head on the smaller ranges of clipper blades from grade school years onward. I’ve always liked my shaved skull and seeing folks fearful of losing said hair hits different via my (head)space.

Still perhaps my favorite offering of the PS5’s “generation”. Best of the bunch of first party games released, all 5 of them. ;)
