It's gonna take some time for me to be able to play Double Dragon on my Egret II, because I have not updated its firmware in a while and the update process is a bit of a pain.

So, Data East/Technos collection for my Egret II Mini, *both* Toaplan collections for Switch and Super Robot Wars Y for Switch.
That's a good christmas loot if I dare say so myself
My fiancé also got me Resident Evil Requiem preorder and Dead Rising 2.

"Samira, why are you up at three thirty in the morning, making agua de jamaica?!"
Glad you asked, hypothetical question asker: Because I wanted to make a Drew Pickles meme joke about how I have lost control of my life.
Also, I am thirsty and I ran out of strawberry Dr. Peppers.

You only see the "modest religious lady" side of me here, but the "video game gremlin, wears sweatpants and a sports bra, tired old lady with massive dark circles under her eyes and bed hair because of insomnia, asleep on a desk, drooling" exists and manifests once I'm away from all non-mahram eyes.

Sometimes I fear people might consider me a weirdo for having a sense of "I built this" ownership over my steam deck because I replaced its 64gb ssd with a 1tb ssd with my own two hands. 😆

I'd say "make it make sense", but the thought process behind this is simple: Their media says we are bad, therefore everything we do is sinister and has ulterior motives in their eyes.

Oh my God, yeah. I finally have one of these at home. Life is good, let me tell you.

I also got the activision collection. No, not for Pitfall; I never got into Pitfall.
Enduro, though? Goodness gracious me, I loved me some Enduro. The amount of time I dedicated to that thing as a kid was obscene. Broke three Atari 2600 joysticks on it.

Aight, here is a nearly 8 minute catastrophe of a botched unboxing video. Clearly, I shouldn't have bought an accessory for almost exclusively one or two games. I may just re-do the whole thing after I test it with games that actually work with it.

So, the unboxing was of a tate grip for the switch so I could play Punch Out, but the vertical orientation ends up being upside down and renders the game unplayable, so the whole thing was a bust. Might still upload the whole disaster, but you can tell how my enthusiasm wilts about 5 minutes in. 😆
I got some nice stuff in the mail. I might do an unboxing video, but likely not right now. I've had zero energy today. Just did my chores, fed the doggies and played some very old video games earlier this afternoon.

I bought the new Terminator 2 game last night and it's a really well made game, I like it a lot. It is hard as tank armor, though. It's giving me a thorough thrashing; I haven't made it past the 2nd stage. 😆

So, apparently the mexican government is making laws that will protect muslim women's rights to wear hijab in official photo ID.
About time some good news came out of that den of corruption. I will absolutely use that right next time I renew both my passport and my voter ID.

Well, what if I'm part of the local Initial D reenactment society? You are stripping me of my right to become Takumi Fujiwara three times a year! My eurobeat mixtape will lose all purpose! >:(
strangers are fighting to the death in my menchies over this pretty innocuous take and slinging devastating counterarguments like “what if I had to run away from a murderer” and “I like speeding”
one of my longstanding takes is that car manufacturers should be forced to install mandatory speed limiters in every new vehicle and people react to that like I'm advocating to strip them of their right to free speech

When I grow up, I want to die fighting like he did. Sweet Liberty, it took like 10 hulks to bring him down.
Godspeed, helldiver, you served Managed Democracy well.

So, if I am to understand correctly, fifa did the same thing Marge Simpson does when she bakes a cake and then makes another separate cake exclusively for Homer to ruin.
What a world we live in. I am so tired.

In any event, I bought Doom The Dark Ages last week and I was kinda bummed to find out that the executions are nowhere near as brutal as the ones in 2016 or Eternal. Which is a darn shame. Doomguy just...kinda delivers a floaty looking kick or punch and he's done. The shield is fun, though.

I've been on a bit of a video game buying spree because my country's government, in its infinite wisdom, decided to slap a tax on "violent video games" in 2026. Who gets to decide what constitutes a "violent video game"? Why, a seventy-something year old boomer, of course.

A certain acquaintance: "Aren't you exaggerating by covering even your hands?"
Same acquaintance: "Plus, you have pretty, slender hands. It's a shame you hide them."
Th-thanks for proving my hands are a source of awrah and need to be covered within your very own argument against it, I guess? :/

I discovered a way to watch american tv for free and now I feel like a complete dingus for paying for satellite tv for an entire year. :/
