I love everything about this.
@vinnk.bsky.social Happy birthday!! Vinnkle's off to give a speech about how cool you are.
That would be awesome!
Presentation went great. But I am beat. Headed home.
Off to give a speech in Fukuoka. I have my subtle(?) retro gamer signals in my outfit.
My daughter is in the process of beating Okami. My gamer dad pride is soaring.
Got my Switch Virtual Boy β¦thing.
Might make an unboxing video or something later.
Still not 100% sure why I ordered this. I already have a Virtual Boy and most of the games on this service.
Oh! Can I be in it? Been in Japan for 20+ years.
Final Fantasy IV comes to mind, but there were so many great games.
If you haven't been to the site in a while you might want to check it out. Lots of old games being restocked and many new listings as well. There are now almost 1900 games in stock, tested and ready to find good homes.

Itβs nice to see that even in this day and age Nintendo continues its roots as a playing card company.
Itβs because I am also a fan of Laserdiscs and the Chipmunk Adventure. π
Family Karaoke day. This place doesnβt have They Might Be Giants songs π(the other place had 3). So my daughter and I settled on Journey.
Iβm never sure what to do with things like this. This cartridge works. It has the game Pinball on it. But because it doesnβt have its label no one wants it. So Iβve just been holding on to it (and many others like it) I just canβt bring myself to throw it away. It feels almost sacrilegious to do so.
Yeah, I never throw that stuff away. I always include it. Those are treasures.
I love finding handwritten notes in games. Someone put more work into this virtual fighter move list than pretty much any project Iβve ever done in my life.
Great games! I hope you really enjoy them.
Found my autographed copies of 2 of the bit Generations games. Cleaning my game room is like a treasure hunt.
While cleaning today I found the business card Kenji Eno gave me the one time I met him. It was at a launch party for his game Newtonica. We talked a bit then he needed to go back to DJing. A cool guy. Taken way too soon.
ζγγΎγγ¦γγγ§γ¨γγγγγΎγοΌHappy New Year. 2025 was hard for a lot of people but I hope we can all find joy in 2026.
When attempting to write swear words in you high scores, always ask a fluent speaker to spell check.
Playing a nice game of Wisconsinopoly.
Itβs still here. I really donβt need it (I keep telling myself). [CRT tv with built in official Super Famicom]
That is very good advise.
Itβs freaking delicious. Or maybe it just tastes better because we worked so hard to make it.
Time to make some mochi.
