I remember seeing the Hip Gear display at Toys R Us as a kid and thinking it was the COOLEST THING IN THE WORLD!

An LCD display mounted on your controller?!? That basically makes the PS2 into a handheld!

I had the best time in Akiba this weekend catching up with my old friend from elementary school!

We went to the Wizardry pop-up event and museum, saw Steins;Gate 15th Anniversary merch pop-up, had the best Japanese curry of my life, and across from it, found the best store in Akiba for VR gear!

Gotta Drink ‘Em All!

At Cafe La Siesta, there are 12 special drinks called the Cocktail Monsters. When you order a drink named after a monster, you get a matching badge. You pin the badges on a matching Cocktail Monsters tote bag.

Across 6 months and 4 trips to Kyoto, I’ve finally drank them all!

I love Maren Mazesoba. I’ve been here more than anywhere else in Japan.

Mazesoba is a dish of lukewarm toppings on a bed of hot noodles covered in a delicious sauce instead of a broth.

And when you’re out of noodles, you toss rice into the sauce for a risotto-like dish.

I had a pretty decent Pokémon haul yesterday. Found one of my new favorite retro game stores on Planet Earth!

I’m really excited to have completed my intensive Japanese course at the Coto Academy in Shibuya.

I’ve been doing Japanese school part-time (3 hours of class a day Monday through Friday, plus daily homework and studying) while working full-time. It was tough but I learned so much!

I also grabbed Custom Robo and Custom Robo V2, which didn’t release internationally until the GameCube version came out.

I got one of my grails today from Mandrake at Nakano Broadway: a complete-in-box copy of Pokémon Card GB 2: Team Great Rocket Arrives!

This never got a localized release outside of Japan. I’m glad to acquire a clean copy.

No, I won’t stop Mother-posting

These are my come-ups from today’s adventure to Kichijoji: Mother for Famicom, Mother 2 for Super Famicom, and Mother: The Complete Scripts all for SIGNIFICANTLY below market value.

Runs fully in the web!

Give it a try, make worlds, share them with friends, and let us know what you think!

Wow, Leia finally released one of the last things I worked on while I was there: a partnership in Immersity with Apple Music to use the tool to generate animations for Album Artwork in Apple Music!

I hope this tool is adopted widely by artists small and large alike!

Today I tried tantanmen (タンタンメン) for the first time. This cousin of ramen (the name is actually short for tan tan ramen) is a flavorful soup with ramen noodles, what felt like half a dozen eggs, at least a half pound of cheese, all soaked in a delicious chili broth.

Strongly recommend!

I’ve already posted about Earthbound on here, but have you ever heard of THIS Earthbound?!?
