I forgot to post up my VCFMW table setup yesterday. There were so many lovely folks to chat with and share my love of these systems with.
The lead-up work for conventions is so stressful, but seeing so many folks connect with systems from Japan makes it all worthwhile.

related to my last repost: my metric for how successful a console should be is entirely based on how cute the logo is.
because of this, the best consoles are the 3DO, Apple Pippin and Casio Loopy

I may be sore, bruised, and without much of a voice, but VCFMW was a lot of fun. Met so many people and was able to talk about so many different Japanese systems that I think it was worth it.
And surprisingly I did not walk away with another computer 😂

Yay, it's Sharptember!!!
September is now (un)officially #Sharptember 😀🙂To kick things off here is the best photo ever taken of the Sharp MZ-80A and its disk drives - courtesy of @heredragons.be
The 80A came out in 1982 as a direct successor to the MZ-80K. It is a Z80 machine running at 2MHz.

The retro and indie computing scene is built almost completely from small businesses who are hugely dependent on trading around the world.
So much of the tariff commentary is about how this will affect big guys like Apple. It's already affecting the small guys working day to day.

I haven't had a chance to post much this trip (first time in Japan) but I've been able to go to some stores I import from to see what it's like.
I've decided to not bring home any new systems to work on since I have enough at home to keep me busy until VCFMW!
