That’s pretty sick.

That’s a sick piece of artwork though.

Super Mario World. I never owned an SNES so it was the game all my friends had. It felt like an elevated art style at the time and, looking back at it now via something like Mario Maker 2, it looks like a difficult balance of beauty and graininess.

Your writing is great, thanks for continuing to share! Your work makes me able to share gaming insights and perspectives with folks who wouldn’t call themselves gamers. It’s led to some great conversations.

I love picking up copies of the old game carts and having someone’s name on it. It really locks in the feeling of “I wonder if I knew this kid…”, especially from game shops near where I grew up.

This is so great!

That’s a solid setup. Which reminds me, I should probably hit up IKEA. Having “collect my childhood in physical form” hobby does take up a bit of space, doesn’t it?

It’s great to see the Pokémon community continue to grow over here. Hopefully we see the wave continue!

Yea it’s really gotten bad. The ads alone are just aggressive, nonsensical, and intrusive.

Thanks! I’m leaning Meloetta, since that would help towards someday getting that shiny Magearna #pipedream

Super interesting. I’ve been toying with starting a Shining Pearl #Nuzlocke, which would be my first. I’m split between starting that and chasing the Shiny Meloetta in #Pokemon HOME.

Squirtle, Rowlet, Fuecoco. Harder than I’d like to admit, except for the turtle!

Love the yellow VHS. It’s been great getting VCRs back into our household, and that would definitely be one to keep.

I definitely don’t think it’s a thing…but then again I definitely pulled Articuno EX and Venusaur EX from one and now I’m convinced
