Such sad news. Becky is my developer idol. One of the smartest and kindest in this industry. I had the pleasure of interviewing her a few years back and we ended up talking for hours. Always planned to do a follow-up to that. Sending all my love Burger Becky.
This is it. I nearly suffocated by using the reetroom. I’m asking my doctors agreeing on a short cure. Only really sure painful prolonged angona is hereafter the grim reaps me. Please donate on the funeral fund me now.

If you want a good feed here on Bluesky, I would recommend following a bunch (or all) of these people.
Woah! I just hit 2k followers! It happened both faster and more enjoyably than it did on that old site. Anyway, with all these new people I think it is time to share the Import Gamers Starter Pack again. Spread it around, suggest someone I should add. Follow great people!

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.

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.
