Didn't think I would see a praying mantis this year since it hasn't been a very warm summer but I just found one sunning itself on the front of my house.

The 1999AD overworld map from Chrono Trigger, mapped by Rick Bruns. This is only the northwest corner of the world, but if the rest of the world were included in this map it would just be a solid color anyway because this is all the devs made for 1999.

Excuse my language, but FUCK Mark Zuckerberg. Meta should restore my Facebook/Instagram/Messenger because I need access to contacts so I can inform them about MY MOTHER'S DEATH. 19 years of memories, too. Have some COMPASSION, Meta. As you banned me for no reason, you have no case.

Jumper has a clear preference for sunny weather. She will take all the sun available during the winter months. #caturday #CatsOfBluesky

Touch Dic (K) is a dictionary with touch controls released for the Nintendo DS in Korea (that's what the "(K)" signifies). Despite what the box art says, the in-game title is "Touch Dictionary".

One of my favorite games from my childhood is Little Ninja Brothers. A lot of NES games from that era were "cleaned up" for American families or just had bad translations. Sometimes it's worth playing the Japanese version if there's something you don't understand, or seems intentionally vague.

I made these years ago but never had a place to put them until I made my Bluesky account. These are item charts for old RPGs. For most of them, the item quantity shows the hex value for each item. I intended these to be reference materials for when i'm using a hex editor to add or remove things.

The item list from Final Fantasy II (NES) - This is the Neo Demiforce English translation patch.

The item list from Final Fantasy III (NES) - This is the SOM2FREAK English translation patch. From here on, the item quantity is used to list the hex value for each item.

Ever wonder why the old librarian had a hole under his chair in SotN? Maybe it was an escape tunnel when he was young? Maybe it was supposed to be a trap door but he put it on the wrong side of the desk? Or maybe... #CastlevaniaSotN

Alucard regrets his life choices while trying to surprise the old librarian in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Funny tier list idea i've been playing around with this week. Disclaimer: These are all baseless assumptions and are not guaranteed to be accurate irl. All of these vtubers are sweethearts, even the ones who probably swipe shopping carts and race them down the street like this is Mario Kart.
