Just a few snaps I took so far while trying out #MarioKartWorld on my new #Switch2. I like this game a lot more than Mario Kart 8. Feels a lot more bouncy and playful, kinda like how Wonder felt compared to the New Super Mario Bros series of games.

It’s not every day you get the upgrade of your dreams.

It’s not every day you save $160(!) off the MSRP.

It’s not every day you still have the money to pay your bills immediately after (unless you’re good with that sort of thing.)

Switch 2 has finally been acquired. Today’s a good day.

Finally time for an upgrade.

Farewell, Nintendo Switch.

Was a bit late for this week but I still got my weekly BK meal. My goal right now is to save up for a Nintendo Switch 2.

And yes, that is Michael on the Switch. Very excited for that movie

Free any size fries are back, and I found a new robot friend. The horde begins anew.

This is Poo-Chi, made by Sega and Tiger in 2000

It’s officially a Wes Anderson weekend. Still resting up my leg after the accident so I’ll be taking it easy this weekend.

Also The Life Aquatic is free on YT (free with ads if you don’t have Premium), so that makes 5 movies, 1 weekend.

Fun.

Also, food.

Amiga music just hits different man.

Anyway, lunch.

No real big news to share, but I thought I’d show off something in my Apple collection, this 4GB iPod nano.

They’re very hard to find these days in working order due to the dreaded “black spot, so I’m very happy to have such a well kept keepsake. Was also my first iPod, and a Salvation Army find.

In case you missed the livestream, here’s some of the new #teletext inspired graphics I rolled out. I’ll be making seasonal variations as well, so this is definitely in its 1.0 stage.

Yesterday, the Xbox One S and NES officially left my collection. This is a small part of a larger effort to gain some money out of downsizing my retro game collection.

Fortunately, I didn’t leave empty handed. I got $65 to help me save up for that Laserdisc player, and these titles!
August 30, 2025 at 3:56 PM
I made my (likely) final DVD purchases for some time today, as I shift spending towards LaserDisc in the future. This means I’ll need to save as much as possible for a player, and to take the likely huge shipping costs.

Also got my BK for the week, cuz why wouldn’t I?

Flashback to the one time I found a TRULY special relic. Didn’t buy it but with how rare these are, I wish I did. Would’ve been a great story to tell (Not the movie, the CED format)

So I bought just a little more, these two tapes. The place I bought em from said they had one more Superman film, but they told me not to hurry, it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

:)

$10 for both. I think that’s a good deal.

Got my meal for the week, making progress on a pitch bible for a series I’ve been working on, found an Apple Mighty Mouse for $7, and the local BK is playing Franz Ferdinand on the radio.

It’s 2025 and life is good.

Happy to say I’ve been working on a new Graphics package for Nikkcade inspired by one of my favorite things on this earth…

#Teletext!

Here’s a small sample with the resolution notice I always put on these 4:3 streams.

Plenty more are already done, and you’ll see them next stream!

This week’s BK meal, AND toy haul! Love these kinds of days,

Figures are in rough shape, but they’re for the collection, and they only cost me $6 altogether.

I guess we can call this #takeyourtoystolunchday.

Today I announced my socially forward channels would be rebranded from “Flipnic” to my original handle of “Nikkcade” for the first time in at least 5 years.

With this, a new profile pic and pixelized avatar was created. Again, no AI here, all this was done by hand, in Aseprite.

Just finished the original Terminator for the first time. Really fun action flick from the 80s. Amazing what they could do with such a low budget, though i will admit some of the stop motion scenes looked a bit goofy!

Can’t to watch T2 sometime this week.

Last night, me and my friend finally saw Avatar: The Way of Water together. It was one of the most majestic, breathtaking, epic films I have ever seen in my life.

If you tapped out after the first one, you tapped out WAY too early.

Grail has been acquired.

DRILLER BOT IS THIRSTY.

It’s snowing on Mt. Fuji.

Hi!

I’m officially back, and I’ve finally left Twitter behind for good. Updates on my YT channel, as well as my animated projects, will now be exclusive to Bluesky, and my personal Facebook.

Welcome aboard, and enjoy some lovely #pixelart I’ve created of one of my original characters, Joy.
