Hello new followers. I'm a middle-aged man who occasionally finds time to play videogames in between parenting, work and exhaustion.
Thanks for joining me.

I learned about @randomstranger.bsky.social on New Year's Eve 2024 and have played catchup pretty much ever since.
Come to think of it, I still need to finish the Disk System library.

Someone at work is doing a Christmas quiz where you have to match the "fun fact" to the person. I had the sad realisation that nobody at work knows that I can draw. Let's see how "Was a cartoonist on a videogame magazine for 8 years" goes. I'll report back on Thursday.

This was one of my favourite episodes because it highlighted how Goku was an unstoppable, overpowered force of nature... but also utterly gormless. An idiot God. It was fun.
Daily DBZ 174-2. Goku is gathering the newly revived Dragon Balls, but of course the crime boss, Vodka, already has 2 collected. Goku faces his toughest challenge yet as Mercenary Tao will only give up the balls if he can solve 3 ring puzzles. But eventually he solves them and wins the balls!

My phone charger hasn't been charging my phone for some time. I've tried cleaning it out with air, brushes and such but it seemed genuinely broken.
I just noticed how poorly the cable fit now. Decided to screw it and stick a pick in there.
I extracted a bellybutton's worth of fluff. Works fine now

I have possibly the most annoying insect infestation ever. It's very small, slow flies that buzz around near my face and land on my desk. There is no obvious entry point or source of them. They are not difficult to dispatch. BUT they inexplicably appear one at a time over and over all evening.

In Clu Clu Land on NES, if you successfully uncover every gem in the bonus stage, you get a 3,000 point bonus. But due to a programming error, you only get 30 points added to your score.
The English language manual even acknowledges the bug. But it wasn't fixed until the Virtual Console release.

i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?
