A large white shelving combo made from two wide IKEA BILLY units with a narrow unit between them. Each wide unit has a whopping TWELVE shelves, and the top 8 shelves are crammed full of NES cartridges, 45 to a shelf.
The left unit, containing 0-M, with a full set of Tengen and Camerica carts on the shelf below, followed by empty shells I'd been using for filler.
The right unit, containing M-Z, followed by most of the PAL-exclusive games. The shelf below contains a mostly-complete set of Color Dreams and Wisdom Tree games, and the one below that has a full set of AVE and AGCI games, two of the Panesia games, two Game Genies, two Action 52 carts, Cheetahmen II, and the Caltron and Myriad 6-in-1 carts.
It's still far from finished, but my NES collection is on display! I've misplaced my Street Fighter 2010 and the Stadium Events cart is a repro I made for this display, but the rest of the licensed US carts are there!
And Super Mario Bros. 3 below~

Adventures of Lolo 2

I have a Japanese copy of Jack Bros., but I still need a US one. I'm also missing Space Invaders Virtual Collection, Gundam, and Virtual Lab, but I think that's about it!
An original Virtual Boy next to the official Switch / Switch 2 Virtual Boy accessory, which is nearly identical, though maybe a tiny bit taller. Two stacks of boxed games sit behind them.

Thank you! This is exactly what I had in mind when I made the post π€

John McClane nervously scuttles through a room with gun in hand shortly after Joe Takagi was killed nearby. A model of some sort of highway bridge thing bisects the scene horizontally, and beneath the arch of the bridge is a little ferry bearing the Sunflower logo.
Sunflower, Sunflower, taiyou ni mamorarete~
It took me several watchings of Die Hard to notice this little Sunflower ferry in the model of Nakatomi's Indonesia project. π
Haha, thank you! I remember the rush of emotions that hit me the first time I saw it on a shelf; it felt like such a big deal even though it's like my 8th book π
You will be visited by three spirits.

Nice! I've been listening to the audiobook versions (narrated by the author himself, since Travis Baldree was a narrator long before writing his first book). π

I just finished Silksong (in around 48 hours total with 80% completion), and boy does my hand hurt π
This is a GOOD DANG DISCOUNT ($32 β‘οΈ $26) on our Wanderer's Journal book, if you had your eyes on it but haven't picked it up~
It's an official Hollow Knight lore and art book I illustrated and @retrogamerryan.com wrote. Discounted in honor of Silksong day!
Also must rhyme

Heh, it's still not perfect; the magnets are just barely strong enough, so if you disturb the blinds, they'll fall. We're planning to add more magnets π
A pair of white faux wood sidelight blinds, held up entirely by the power of magnets; coming up with a way to get them to hold took much longer than I expected.

Well, surely they had something else in the store they could ι€ζ²Ή
Honestly, your description's pretty spot-on! You deliver packages, connecting folks to the new Kojima Weirdβ’οΈ internet, and then it keeps getting Kojima Weirderβ’οΈ
Having said that, I did platinum it and enjoyed most of it!
A screenshot from Yakuza 5 showing a bottle of Herradura tequila. The game's description reads "Herradura Tequila is a premium tequila, 100-548050istilled from the blue agave plant."
Ah, I thought I detected the subtle flavor notes that come only from the 100-548050istillation process. π§
It's STILL downloading at this moment π€£ But it didn't slow anything down, and I did switch to the dark theme shortly after taking that photo~

I think it might've been in Sotenbori, and I found it while looking around for locker keys as Haruka π
