The Cubs are going to the postseason for a 2nd consecutive year. They beat the Marlins, 2-1, to clinch their playoff spot.

Going into this game, I was worried the Cubs would get swept by the Mariners I no longer have that worry

Incredible. Pete Crow-Armstrong slugs a walk-off 2-run HR to give the Cubs a 7-5 win against the White Sox. That's his 30th home run of the season and makes him just the 2nd Cub in franchise history with back-to-back 30/30 seasons.

What have we come to as a society www.ebay.com/itm/82000364...

An eBay listing of a price tag for a Pokémon Fossil Museum shirt. Not the shirt itself, just the price tag. The seller has the auction starting at $6.00; thankfully, there have been no bids, leaving me some hope for this world.

I love walking around the neighborhood and seeing the elderly enjoy this beautiful evening

Outside a residential building, a Lexmark multifunction printer sits on a chair, next to an identical chair with no printer on it. Why is the other chair empty? Did the printer previously enjoy summer evenings outside with its fax machine spouse, who got decommissioned but the printer still sets out a seat for them? Or maybe the chairs were set out by someone else and the printer, tired from its travels, is merely resting before taking on the world once more.

Reminder re: Indy reg for VG players, you can change your Trainer name after registering, so don't worry if you end up going with a different name once Champions releases next week

It has been over two years since Nintendo Australia shipped 450lbs of VHS tapes to The Pokémon Company International for unknown reasons I need answers

A screenshot showing "Nintendo Australia's Most Recent Sea Shipments", with the most recent item dated 12/13/2023 showing 1 pallet weighting 204 kg being sent to The Pokemon Company International in the United States of America, with a description of "Vhs Tapes"

The artwork used in the Pokemon.com and Pokemon.co.jp Pokédexes vary slightly in color. Weird, right? I spent the past two weeks of my life digging into it, because that was naturally a good use of time: matthew.verive.me/blog/color/

A comparison of Pikachu artwork from the Pokemon.com and Pokemon.co.jp websites. The image on the right appears “yellower” than the image on the left, which looks more goldenrod by comparison.
