Went to the midnight launch. Barely anyone showed up. Good times.

Me holding a copy of Brilliant Diamond four years ago. I was very tired, but hey, I got to wear my Mega Man winter hat.

btw: if you have a 3DS at Otakon and still need StreetPass puzzle pieces, I have TWO 3DS consoles on me with all puzzles completed! Can't believe I've already StreetPassed two people. One of the Miis looks very familiar, though... 🤔

My two Miis facing each other at the Mii Plaza gate. My two 3DS consoles StreetPassed each other.

furthered* goddammit Well I'd need to restructure the post if I used the correct tense since it's exactly 300 characters.

Prior to that photo, this was the last photo taken on my Samsung Rant. It was during a college sociology class on 2011/03/02. We were given Mr. Potato Heads to play with. If memory serves, it had to do with something about perception of gender roles.

Two Mr. Potato Head toys, one decked out with typical "male" parts and one decked out with typical "female" parts.

For old times' sake, I took a photo using this phone. It's of the corner of my desk where I display my Blu-ray copies of Berserk '97 and Berserk Golden Age Trilogy Memorial Edition. There's also an Umaru print still there. May swap that print out soon.

There is a headset jack of some kind, so I may do some direct audio capture of the ringtones on the phone and other stuff I find worth documenting. Stay tuned.

I got the battery for my old Samsung Rant! No idea what happened, but it showed up after being lost in the mail for a while. I'm overcome with feelings of nostalgia as the last call I made on it was April 30, 2011, right before I got my first smartphone. Thread detailing my findings...

So a few months ago I found my high school cell phone: a Samsung Rant. I also found that the battery was... inflated. I recycled the battery soon after. Little did I know, they still manufacture the battery for that phone! I just bought a replacement and it should be here this week.

A Samsung Rant. I got this in 2009. A relic of a simpler time when smartphones were not commonplace. Also, this phone was exclusive to Sprint, a U.S. mobile phone carrier that was acquired by T-Mobile in 2020.

A Samsung Rant with the slider keyboard out. I miss physical keyboards on phones. I never got used to touchscreen keyboards; I've used swipe typing for well over a decade because it just feels so awkward to use a touch keyboard the same way you use a physical mobile phone keyboard.

@strawhatryan.bsky.social got the pic to me! Ryan is decked out in One Piece gear. @david-sobolov.bsky.social has on a Kaido t-shirt. And then there's me. In a Shin-chan hoodie. 😂

I forgot how damn funny the beginning of Spy x Family is. Can't wait to get to the stuff the anime hasn't convered yet.

Spy x Family manga. The Forger family is at a fine art museum. Anya is pointing at a painting of a naked woman and exclaiming she can see the woman's breasts. Anya then points to a headless statue and saying someone stole the head. Yor is fascinated by a guillotine painting.

The work holiday party, where all I care about is the free food

The pretty summary image isn't working for my Twitch Viewer Recap, possibly because my #5 most-viewed channel is blank and may be DailySimpsons which got nuked earlier this year. As usual, S15Costuming is my most-watched.

My top 5 most-viewed streamers this year in descending order: S15Costuming, FirearmofMutiny, GamesDoneQuick, DougDoug, and a blank space I'm assuming was DailySimpsons

Wondering if I could get away with wearing this at work 🤔

This may come as a shock, but I watch a LOT of Pokémon content on YouTube.

My YouTube Gaming Recap. Top games: Pokémon Scarlet and Violet; Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow; Pokémon Emerald; Super Smash Bros. Ultimate; and Pokémon Crystal Version. Top creators: False Swipe Gaming, WolfeyVGC, Scott's Thoughts, Jrose11, and Scott the Woz.

I was in the top 4% of False Swipe Gaming fans. I watched 5x as much as the average viewer.
