I was feeling myself eight days ago. Today, I feel like a purposeless blob.

I mean even on a ick SEO level, why is it doubling keywords?
I'll sound mentally ill saying this (I am) but this has given me the will to exist today.
Opened my eyes this morning and was vaguely disappointed.
Super Nintendo Famicom (SNES) with Super Wild Card floppy drive add-on inserted.
Some words regarding the Nintendo PlayStation prototype revealed the other day. I'm not surprised that it looks like the Super Wild Card SNES floppy drive that would have been used for piracy, the similarities are pretty amusing.

Me tying my hair up before getting in a fight with a Scottish young team.
Screenshot from the Nintendo 64 game The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. In a dark yet starry chamber, a female fairy is lying in midair, her arms crossed in front of her. She has golden hair, leafy clothes, and make up that almost reads as drag. Her dialogue box says "Thank you for returning my broken and shattered body to normal."
Me @ my bed:
This is the only kind of news I care about.

Queer relationship tip: make her play Sonic 2 for your pleasure.

This Nintendo PlayStation dev kit is the "only known unit to exist", and it almost looks like a '90s backup device. www.gamesradar.com/hardware/ret...

My fav people on the internet are the AI defenders who run the "but it can be for good too!" But probably couldn't tell you in a meaningful way what they mean.
Original PS2 standing upright on right and Sony PVM CRT TV on left with Silent Hill 2 intro on screen featuring Maria sitting.
Squeezed in a little 26th birthday tribute to the magnificent PS2. You don't really need me to tell you how great it is, but I thought I'd whip up something that'll inspire you to set it back up under your TV.

False alarm, it was pulling a sickie.
I'm going to have so much fun with this if it's true.
My silly in-joke handle means that there people I've worked with in the gaming journo scene who don't even realize they know me. The rest probably do know and just want to avoid my nonsense.
Orange GameCube next to Sony PVM CRT on left with message on screen that reads "disc could not be read, please read instruction manual for main unit."

Fun fact: did you know this article is less likely to show up on your screen because it's a negative critique? Welcome to the modern internet.
Sad Ditto looking at new Game Boy Jukebox on a screen.
Alright, here's my rant about the new Game Boy "Jukebox" and the fact that Nintendo will seemingly do anything but make a Classic Edition remake of the OG handheld.
