Mega @mega240p.bsky.social · 22hThe design languages for the Johto and Joenn Pokemon are very different from each other, so it's very funny when you see a Johto monster appear in Ruby Sapphire Emerald because of how much they stick out 010
Mega @mega240p.bsky.social · 01/05/2026First game I imported. I couldn't find a PAL copy for sale anywhere back in 2011. 020

Mega @mega240p.bsky.social · 25/03/2026I've been blasting Twin Fantasy from my bedroom a lot recently, so my housemate made a very thoughtful card for my birthday, love it 💜 And yah it was my birthday this week lol 000
Mega @mega240p.bsky.social · 21/02/2026Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth for #RandomGameSaturday I grabbed this during a NIS America clearance. It came with some Persona Arcana cards which are, uh, in a shoebox somewhere in my house. 050
Mega @mega240p.bsky.social · 14/02/2026Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story for #RandomGameSaturday. Top 3 DS game for me, at least until I play Strange Journey and Radiant Historia. 150
Mega @mega240p.bsky.social · 09/02/2026Mold growing on some of my games 🤢 Guess the last house I lived in was too humid. You wouldn't even notice unless you hold it against the light a certain way. I'm taking today to wipe all my discs with distilled water and a microfibre cloth. 230

Mega @mega240p.bsky.social · 07/02/2026#RandomGameSaturday This boxart is so funny. It's like, mere hours before it went to print, they suddenly became scared that nobody would buy the game if they weren't promised the ability to pilot a powerful robot. 1110
Mega @mega240p.bsky.social · 01/02/2026#ScanlineSunday Cool aesthetic, great music, brutal challenge but secret broken strats to discover, generous checkpoints... This one's a classic. Castlevania // MiSTer FPGA NES core // RGB scart 240p // Panasonic PAL consumer CRT 06717
Mega @mega240p.bsky.social · 31/01/2026#RandomGameSaturday Of all the games I played in my teenage years, this is my number 1 favourite! I have many, many fond memories of crawling through caves and reading the Piklopedia while listening to rain hit the windows on a cold winter's night. 170

Mega @mega240p.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Last-minute #ScanlineSunday before I go to bed. When I played DKC trilogy on NSO I couldn't stop thinking about how much nicer they'd look on a CRT. I'm grateful to have that now. Donkey Kong Country 2 // MiSTer FPGA SNES core // RGB scart 240p // Panasonic PAL consumer CRT 0155
Mega @mega240p.bsky.social · 24/01/2026#RandomGameSaturday I only have this because a roommate back in my college days moved out (without telling anybody; I just woke up one day and he was gone) and forgot it. He also took my Classic Controller with him I was mad about it for like a whole week. 050
Mega @mega240p.bsky.social · 23/01/2026The Super Famicom entry in the Famicom Detective Club series deserves to be in the conversation of best SNES game. It looks great, it sounds great, the story is excellent and the creepy atmosphere is just ethereal and captivating. Every SNES enthusiast has to play this. 1277

Mega @mega240p.bsky.social · 17/01/2026#RandomGameSaturday In this Ys game, you play as the so-called Crimson King and I really, really hope that means Falcom became prof rocks fans when I wasn't looking. Actually, maybe they always were. 150

Mega @mega240p.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I just finished reading Arthur C. Clarke's 2001 A Space Odyssey. It can be considered a collection of predictions of where technology will take us, and some have come true already. The Grok white genocide embarrassment from a while back is essentially a non-lethal version of what happened with Hal. 010
Mega @mega240p.bsky.social · 21/06/2025There are few things more terrifying than looking into your jungle of cables and seeing a single unconnected HDMI cable looking straight back at you. 000
Mega @mega240p.bsky.social · 15/06/2025Switch 2 game cases look much better than I was expecting them to based on the renders. Looking forward to seeing Prime 4's case. 020
Mega @mega240p.bsky.social · 28/05/2025This week I finished reading The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, a collection of short stories originally published within The Strand Magazine. This one was a bit of a slog to get through. The stories feel repetitive when read in succession, and weaker than novels like A Study in Scarlet. 010
Mega @mega240p.bsky.social · 17/02/2025Twilight Princess watching a Nintendo YouTuber call Skyward Sword "The most linear Zelda" for the 500th time (Disclaimer: this is a joke; video games are not sentient individuals capable of observing events and feeling mirth). 050
Mega @mega240p.bsky.social · 01/02/2025This week I finished reading Dune Messiah. Seems Frank Herbert wasn't content to write just another rebellious adventure for Paul. 110
Mega @mega240p.bsky.social · 10/01/2025I forgot to say this, but I finished The Silmarillion last week. For years I was scared away from this book by people telling me it was too hard to get through or not a proper story. Having now finished it, I think this is my new favourite book lol 110
Mega @mega240p.bsky.social · 09/01/2025Enemy appendages now have health bars, instead of health rings. Doesn't look as nice imo, but maybe more intuitive for new players. 100
