What games came out when you were 12?

I guess violence was the answer back then 😱

Congratulations to ConcernedApe on 10 years of Stardew Valley!! 🥹❤️

Oh to have such a positive effect on the world.

I'm so grateful to have the chance to support Stardew Valley with artwork whenever I can 🙌😭

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

Snoopy's Silly Sports Spectacular

Chicken bee!

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.

Everything old is new again ✌️

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

Tradition Upheld 😤

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. 😍

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 😅

You will be visited by three spirits.

It's this or "Pancaked by Drunk Dump Truck Driver" 🤷‍♂️

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). 😁

A photo of the cover of Guia de Stardew Valley, an all-new translation of the Stardew Valley Guidebook into Spanish!!

¡La edición en español de la guía de Stardew Valley ya está disponible!
The Stardew Valley Guidebook is now available in SPANISH, in the US and EU 🎉 I'm thrilled that we're able to offer this!! 🥹

An orange coffee mug full of what I can assure you is coffee, topped with "latte art" that looks like a ghost either trying to scare you or going in for a hug

'Tis the season ☕👻

I just finished Silksong (in around 48 hours total with 80% completion), and boy does my hand hurt 😅

This is a GOOD DANG DISCOUNT ($32 ➡️ $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

It me 🎃

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 😎

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.

Sometimes, the first step is the hardest 😩

Well, surely they had something else in the store they could 醤油

Honestly, your description's pretty spot-on! You deliver packages, connecting folks to the new Kojima Weird™️ internet, and then it keeps getting Kojima Weirder™️

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. 🧐

It's STILL downloading at this moment 🤣 But it didn't slow anything down, and I did switch to the dark theme shortly after taking that photo~

Day one: a million things to download and update 😅 #Switch2

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