Digging for sweet potatoes today. We will eat them roasted or grilled over the holidays. I love Japan.

Making spider piñatas for Halloween events. It’s very time consuming but a nice chance to listen to some music.

These are mystery packs of “junk” N64 carts. I am going to open them on stream and see what I get.

Not sure when I will go live but if this interests you, here is the channel I will be streaming on: youtube.com/@famicomdojo...

Gonna have some sweet tunes while doing dishes this afternoon.

Now I just need the MOTHER 3 soundtrack to go with this.

I got some new followers recently and I want to share the love. So I am bumping the Import Gamers Starter pack again. These are people I am following that make my feed great. Follow some or all of them to make your Bluesky even better. Anyone I forgot?

I love the Mother 2 Nintendo Switch Online cards and the Dragon Quest coffee cans.

OK Bluesky friends. Use the code “BSTariffRefund” on checkout to save 15%. Let me explain.

So, since the new shipping restrictions and tariffs went into effect my sales have fallen off a cliff. And in the last 2 weeks I have received only a single order. (1/5)

Went to a retro toy exhibit today. There was a Famicom display too but I could get a photo because too many people were around it.

When my kids were young we decided to have themed birthdays for them. And I would make piñatas. This we easy when they wanted things like rockets and Minions. But now my middle child is turning 13 and I am wondering if my Taylor Swift piñata will be acceptable.

My daughter got her allowance this month and went to meet her friend at the mall. I figured she’d buy some clothes or snacks and things. She comes back with this 450 page monster of an art book. I think I might be raising a nerd. I couldn’t be more proud.

After all that delicious but high calorie food in Wisconsin I needed to do a “cleanse” with some good sushi.

Last evening in Wisconsin. The weather was perfect. I’ll miss this place.

My mom found some of my old games while cleaning the basement. She asked if I still wanted them…

I love that one of their flavors is called “Exhausted Parent”. I also love that it is almost sold out.

Who is Taylor Swift? Who is Travis Kelce? Who was Jesus?

Oh Walmart..

Visited my old University. It has changed so much. But happy to see the club I founded the “Anime Appreciation Society” is still going.

Went to Culver’s. I love Culver’s. But I ordered a burger and when I opened it, there was no meat! Not sure how that could have happened. Staff were good and got me a fresh one. But still super weird.
