I have no interest in Grand Theft Auto 6 at all. My enjoyment of that game series died when it moved from top down to third person. Sometimes I wish I could mute a term from the entire Internet.

It seems Kiss Players is back thanks to Takara and I'm looking at my original cassettes wondering if I should grab the new ones to go with them?

I queued up to buy a launch PlayStation eager to have a way to play arcade quality games at home. Ridge Racer and Wipeout kept me happy for ages and still to this day I play them on my original console. But they've lost me. It'll be a cold day in Hell before I buy anything PlayStation again.

What's the deal with eBay these days? Is it safe to sell on there or is it still full of scammers who wanna take your goods and scam you for refunds? I have some high value stuff to sell that I want to go to people who would enjoy them but afraid of being ripped off.

What are people's thoughts on the Transformers Kiss Players cassettes these days? I know the whole Kiss Players thing was not received too well at the time but, for me, the toys were great, especially the G1 cassettes. I still have these on display in my office.

I picked up WIld Blue Skies from @chuhailabs.com yesterday because I love on rails shooters and this one looked nice. However, the configuration settings do not allow for inverting both X and Y axis during gameplay which makes the game unplayable for me :( Hopefully they can address this soon.

Here are a few old photos I took of the Transformers commemorative series G1 Soundwave figure that I bought when it was released. This is my favourite version of the figure because my original toy is so well used and floppy. The missing link version will probably become my new favourite.

Whilst in Osaka seeing Band-Maid a few years ago I decided to pop into the Zemaitis showroom to see the Miku Kobato guitar display. The nice people there took time to talk to me and demanded I play one of their instruments. So I did... Badly 🤣 I liked it so much I bought one for myself.

A few years ago I popped over to Sakai in Osaka for a Band-Maid show. I was travelling alone so took time to investigate some small, back street coffee shops. This one, called Akari Coffee, was awesome. The owner was very cool, took time to listen to my rubbish Japanese and had a chat with me.

Been going through some old photos recently. I kept hold of this figure for years because I love the character of Shockwave and enjoy the Action Master concept. But the time came when I had to sell it so that somebody else could enjoy opening and holding it.

I'm gonna drop in to see my GP about this slipped disc of mine. It happened once before, maybe 4 years ago, and in the meantime I've had back and shoulder pain from time to time. The NHS should be providing me with some scans or physio or something right?

-Roboto-Chan- @roboto-chan.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

My copy of the new Band-Maid single, Energetic, arrived last week but I couldn't enjoy it due to my knackered back. I feel like today is the day to open it up and put it on repeat for a while.

After 4 and a bit days my right leg has some feeling back in it. My back still feels painful and I can't really bend over without having a spasm but I think I'm getting better. I'm still really upset this all happened at the worst time possible but I'm coming to terms with it.

The universe must have a grudge against me. Thanks to this slipped disc in my back I am in constant pain even though they've given me some really strong painkillers. And it's really nice weather today which I can't enjoy. That's not even a cloud in the sky for me to shake my first at.

I am very, very, very unhappy this morning. The show is today, I've practiced my songs for weeks and last night was playing through them perfectly. This morning I woke up with amazing pain in my lower back and a right leg that was numb. Stuck in A&E now waiting for a fix. Can't play today 😭

Still getting over seeing Band-Maid on Thursday night. They were incredible. I know it's a long way for them to travel but I would love to see them in the UK more often. That being said, I don't mind flying to Japan to catch a show. I've done the four day round trip before and I'll do it again 🤘

When I was in my early teens I had a fall down a staircase that damaged my lower spine, resulting in a trapped nerve. Since then I have had to endure periods of time when the trapped nerve causes me problems. These last few weeks have been bad for me. My shoulders and arms are tingling and numb. 😢
