I’m so obsessed I went and got another one. And it’s modded!

I’ve grown quite obsessed with the WonderSwan Color handheld I picked up in Ikebukuro last week. I now want to collect for it.

Finally getting to play fighting games at both branches of the Mikado Game Center in Ikebukuro and Takadanobaba was too cool

I was in Tokyo all last week and now that I’m home I already want to go back.

Books in Jimbōchō, arcades in Akihabara, wrestling at Korakuen Hall, and temples and shrines all over.

“Why do studios keep forcing people back into the office? Why do they hate remote so much?”

It’s because if executives can see you doing the work, it makes it easier for them to pretend they participated in it, too.

Wouldn't it be funny if everyone cancelled their battlepass subscriptions as a response to this? :3

Oh cool! I can’t wait to read it now - I’ve bumped it up on my TBR order 😁

Went to a book fair in the Botanic Gardens in Glasgow today and picked up some deals (except the John le Carre book - that was bought new from Waterstones)

So if you’re not anti-fascist, you’re… what?

Go on. Say it.

I’ll be in Tokyo Jan31st-Feb8th, so I better see a Dragon Quest pop up shop for the release of Dragon Quest VII Reimagined!

Sometimes you just need the Octopath Traveller OST

This is such a good idea!

A picture of a Japanese man, Masahiro Sakurai, sitting at a wooden desk with a wood panelled wall behind him. There are a few shelves on the back wall displaying a few plants, books, pictures, and other things. Text overlaid on the picture reads "Why is making a game so hard?"

Masahiro Sakurai is all of us.

“Free Palestine the BBC is complicit” 💀💀

Terrible headline for a Grant Morrison interview

Sign of fundamental culture death that this article — which is just a Q&A with the great trans/NB author Grant Morrison! — is headlined "Superman is a socialist" (a statement Morrison *barely* makes in half of a sentence) and the URL includes the terms "jesse-watters-ben-shapiro" 🤮

This colour is sick

it is a moral imperative that you just buy music you like.

So, we’re done with summer now right? My skin is constantly glazed with sweat and I’m itchy

PSA for everyone going to protests

Got some Magic The Gathering - Final Fantasy boosters on my way home from work today and there was some cool cards in them.

(I have never bought or played MTG, so I have no point of reference or experience, I just think Final Fantasy is neat)

Can't believe we're getting an Expanse game that's apparently like Mass Effect. It's so me-coded they must've taken my specific desires into account.

Still riding this high!

I should take a Switch 2 pro controller to Edinbrawl IV

Oh, we gamin’
