Sakura were nice today.

I know what I’m doing for the next 40.5 hours.

Ramen and Gyoza for dinner.

Every item listed today (other than that Morning Musume CD)is new to the site. I can't believe I never had Chono Cross or Utada's Hatsukoi on here before. Pop'n TwinBee is a great shooter, Rockman World 4 is a classic and that Anri CD is a great buy for City Pop fans.

I love everything about this.

I totally agree. But when I list stuff like this no one buys it. I fear there are more collectors than players.

I did not realize the telephone card that came with first editions of Dragon’s Crown was such high culture.

Original photo for reference.

I love everything about this.

@vinnk.bsky.social Happy birthday!! Vinnkle's off to give a speech about how cool you are.

That would be awesome!

Presentation went great. But I am beat. Headed home.

Off to give a speech in Fukuoka. I have my subtle(?) retro gamer signals in my outfit.

My daughter is in the process of beating Okami. My gamer dad pride is soaring.

Got my Switch Virtual Boy …thing.

Might make an unboxing video or something later.

Still not 100% sure why I ordered this. I already have a Virtual Boy and most of the games on this service.

Oh! Can I be in it? Been in Japan for 20+ years.

Final Fantasy IV comes to mind, but there were so many great games.

If you haven't been to the site in a while you might want to check it out. Lots of old games being restocked and many new listings as well. There are now almost 1900 games in stock, tested and ready to find good homes.

It’s nice to see that even in this day and age Nintendo continues its roots as a playing card company.

It’s because I am also a fan of Laserdiscs and the Chipmunk Adventure. 😀

Family Karaoke day. This place doesn’t have They Might Be Giants songs 😭(the other place had 3). So my daughter and I settled on Journey.

I’m never sure what to do with things like this. This cartridge works. It has the game Pinball on it. But because it doesn’t have its label no one wants it. So I’ve just been holding on to it (and many others like it) I just can’t bring myself to throw it away. It feels almost sacrilegious to do so.

Yeah, I never throw that stuff away. I always include it. Those are treasures.

I love finding handwritten notes in games. Someone put more work into this virtual fighter move list than pretty much any project I’ve ever done in my life.

Great games! I hope you really enjoy them.

Found my autographed copies of 2 of the bit Generations games. Cleaning my game room is like a treasure hunt.

While cleaning today I found the business card Kenji Eno gave me the one time I met him. It was at a launch party for his game Newtonica. We talked a bit then he needed to go back to DJing. A cool guy. Taken way too soon.

明けましておめでとうございます！Happy New Year. 2025 was hard for a lot of people but I hope we can all find joy in 2026.
