Hi, huge influx of new folks. I am a late-30s, exhausted grocery clerk with a brief (& v. dated now) history in games press.
I'm not active much on this or any platform, but follow me for niche Game Boy BS, wild flailing whenever a new Kirby game comes out, Pokémon, & photos of my cat. Also, here:

Rickmas is saved, thanks to one of my favorite YouTube channels. I would’ve waited patiently, but I was ONE RACE AWAY from earning the “holiday hat” when the event was pulled offline. 😂🥳

I don’t know that I can properly articulate how AMAZING this is.
As part of our project to preserve the history of Sega Channel, we have recovered OVER 100 new Sega Channel ROMs, including the legendary lost game Garfield: Caught in the Act - The Lost Levels.

We don't know how long we have with anyone.
If somebody's made your day brighter, tell them so. If somebody's changed your life? Make sure they know it. If somebody's saved your life? Never let 'em forget it.
Tell the people you love how you feel—with words & actions alike.
Empathy must prevail.

I wore a Mega Man shirt as pajamas while I've been off this week. I bought a Mega Man 64 cart with eBay card my mother in law gave me.
Gonna have a spring in my step for a while. 2027's the year I turn 40.
…It’s gonna be a heck of a party.

the streak continues, motherf***ers.
In early 2021, I decided to play the 2D Metroid games for the first time—and we got Metroid Dread in October.
January of this year? 101%ed Donkey Kong 64. DK Bananza is released six months later.
Y'all know I've been hyper-fixated on Mega Man lately. Time for 12? X9? Legends Legacy Collection?? 😎

I wish there was a Game Genie code in Banjo-Kazooie that turned Boggy the Polar Bear into a rug.
Challenge me to one more race, polar bear. SEE WHAT HAPPENS, polar bear.

I'll not be watching the dog and pony show. But if any news comes forth from it that interests me, I'll have this place open in the background while I play Banjo-Kazooie. Maybe I'll switch back to Bomberman 64 if I'm feeling fat AND sassy.
Feel free to light up my phone, I guess.

Remember early last year when I (finally) beat Bomberman 64? ...No?? You don't???
Well. I just (painlessly!!) backed up this Wii U Virtual Console save data to my newly acquired physical cartridge, and I feel like $1,000,000 ALL OVER AGAIN.

After more than 25 years of loving the game to pieces, but constantly putting it down because of how NIGHTMARE HARD various aspects of it are—Bomberman 64's credits are rolled.
I feel like $1,000,000 right now, lmao. Childhood me is SO PROUD.

Happy my birthday, BlueSky! My spouse surprised me with an incredible gift. Check out this publicity still from 1953! They got it from a gallery in Vermont that has a collection of animation history.
“Duck Amuck” is absolutely my favorite Looney Tunes short of all time.
