You intend to buy two Doctors Pepper today. You have no special knowledge about this machine. Is your strategy: A. Left button twice B. Right button twice C. Left first, then right D. Right first, then left

Apparently TV Malaysia had a show called Candid Gamera "We thought It would be funny to give Kenny a giant radioactive turtle" (Sadly I think it's a misprint)

I saw this on film a while back, but it's been long enough that I'll definitely go to this. MOREOVER, if there's a 4K scan now maybe it'll finally get a decent home video release...

My sneakers recently hit their breaking point and I tried buying SLIGHTLY cheaper, SLIGHTLY less name-brand shoes than the already very inexpensive shoes I usually wear, and friends, that was a mistake

One of my favorite things about lain is that it really speaks to my deeply held belief that if you accumulate enough junk in your room you will eventually become superhuman

Because it came up in conversation with @mattschley.com and @wah.bsky.social the other day, let me show you the worst home-video packaging of all time

DVD box for "Tenchi the Movie: Tenchi Muyo in Love"
Roughly the size and shape of modern plastic DVD case, but visibly made of cardboard

The same cardboard box, but now with a CD-style plastic jewel case emerging from the bottom

Ocarina of Time is mostly about the differences between childhood and manhood, which mainly that boils down to having three pairs of shoes that you have to cycle through regularly instead of one.

Out on a run and came across a couple having a break up. The woman yelled that the guy cared more about “his YouTube videos” than her. Fully expected it to be some Andrew Tate shit until he sheepishly said “trains mean so much to me but you’ve never understood that”

I was reading back issues of "Mycom BASIC" magazine from 1998 (as one does) and noticed this message from a game enthusiast gushing about how much he likes Hideo Kojima's games in a particularly charming way

Japanese magazine page, featuring the intro to a submitted piece of software that plays an interpretation of some music from Tokimeki Memorial

Zoomed in view of the same page, talking about Tokimeki Memorial in general and ending with a message along the lines of "Speaking of Konami, I really like the works of Director Kojima (the game creator). The bomb defusal scene in Policenauts is extremely nostalgic for me"

Once a day, at a seemingly random time, my PS3 will turn itself on to check for software updates and then turn itself off again. This process takes about 20 seconds. Due to the logic of my A/V setup, when this happens it will preempt whatever I'm actually doing and switch my TV to the PS3 input.
