Got that 8bitdo N64 controller today so I could finally play some N64 games, but now I'm like... I really don't like a lot of N64 games.

Despite the goofy Vader name, this is the new hotness on my desk as of late. It's a clicky one--and you gotta be into that--but everything feels great. Flydigi's even got an xbox licensed controller around the corner so expect to hear their name again soon.

Whew! Just spent the last couple hours changing the switches in my keyboard to fancy-ass clicky ones and... I fucking hate them! Why did I do this?!?

I was always curious why they used so much physical media in cyber punk and other dystopian fiction but goddamn we're living in that moment where it starts making sense.

Who wants to print me some of these?
I am delighted to announce that I've 3D scanned the complete Super Mario Land keshi figure series, originally released by Bandai in Japan in 1989!
All 21 of these vintage Mario toys--from Daisy to Tatanga, and everyone in between--can now be downloaded here:

Took a while to get here, but man am I impressed with the build quality. The buttons are too clickly for my tastes, but I think I can change out the switches. This'd be an easr rec to people @~$100, but there isn't a PS version--just Switch and Xbox. Both work on PC though.

Mike Ross is genuinely one of my favorite people. Such a humble, gracious guy, and immensly likeable. I had the priveledge of spending some time with him a couple times in Atlanta and I think back on those times fondly. A lifetime later, we would often cross by one another after work in SF.
No matter where his life and career have gone, one thing has been constant: Mike Ross loves fighting games.
See how he always stayed true to that principle and always found a home in the FGC:

Oofa Doofa. Had my C:drive take a knee today. After a replacement and fresh install of windows, we're back in action. I lost some stuff, but mostly my patience. Currently gutting the office and hate-cleaning.
