It looks like someone started designing it as soon they saw the Cybertruck and were too deep in by the time they realized everyone except the worst people in the world hated them.

I feel like modern car design is geared for people who don't actually want to drive. They just want to sit on a nice seat and look at a screen until they get to their destination.

Both Blockbuster and Game Stop were hated until somehow suddenly they were beloved. If you had no other options, then maybe, but they were always considered the corporate overlords and now suddenly they're looked at fondly.

Dammit! That's currently my holy grail of Famicom games. Yes I know it's not THAT hard to find but I'm both cheap and broke.

I love me some Mario, but Mario 64 is clumsy and overrated. Sure it was great for the time but a Pentium 166 MHz PC with a 1 gig hard drive was also great at the time.

How did I miss this in 1999?

Super coreagraphed. The second guy reaches forward with the gun for no other reason than for her to grab it. Self defense is important and she does have impressive moves, but this was clearly planned by everyone involved.

I'm playing Princess Crown right now and every town has the same music. It's getting exhausting.

Now I'm in full on rant mode, but I hate it when things are judged by standards they shouldn't be. This should have been considered a B- movie at worst, but seems some critics hated it. I was laughing a lot. And so much better than other "kid" movies.

Skippy @skipphead.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
I know critics hated it, and that's why I find criticism of comedy so weird. If you know who Mr. Bean is and you want to watch a movie starring that character, it's exactly what you want. If you judge it by any other standard, it's your fault for expecting anything else.

Just got done watching Mr. Bean's Holiday. I know it's not high art, but it was good?? Kid has been on a Mr. Bean kick and on try 2 he actually watched the whole thing. There are some truly dumb parts but overall it's wittier than it needs to be.

My first thought was "that's way more than 15 beans" but someone else made a better version of that stupid joke.

Skippy @skipphead.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
15 beans?? In this economy!?

I had this insane joke (?) in my dream I just remembered... Two flies were flying to a horse and one said "I'm not sure we'll make it back alive." The other said " don't worry I prepared for that..." And showed an egg sack. The first fly said " Wait, you brought MERCH?!"

Everyone gushes about how great Chrono Trigger is, and rightfully so, but I always preferred Secret of Mana. Such a fun game.

When I first got my PHEV, my 5 year old would complain about motion sickness, which never bothered him in my old gas car. But 2 months later and it seems like it stopped. Missing the audio physical cues kinda makes sense, the rest seems to be just poor driving habits.

Comic books and related media have trained me to treat death of major characters like people leaving the room. There's a very good chance they'll be back. Seems like some people don't understand comic book object permanence.

I dunno, just saw Platoon. Wasn't counting but I'm pretty sure there were more than 6 deaths and it was pretty dark...

How did you miss the opportunity to call it a hot Nintendog?

Skippy @skipphead.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
That is a crazy take. I get about wasting people's time in games, but a joyful animation when you collect a moon? Was their heart made of stone?

Right, so many terrible games out there, even the worst Sonic ones are a huge step up. I know it's a different era, but I was playing Bubsy 3D yesterday because apparently I hate joy. Anything Sonic would beat that.

Skippy @skipphead.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
For the worst SONIC platformer, maybe. But there are so many other worse platformers that don't have Sonic in the title.

Skippy @skipphead.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
If someone thinks ANYTHING Sonic is the worst platformer ever, they really haven't seen what's out there.

I'm watching Platoon for the first time... I'm an hour in. When do the squid kids show up? Maybe I should have taken that missing "S" more seriously.

I'm watching Platoon for the first time. I know Willem Dafoe is a legendary actor with a long, storied career but I keep expecting him to put on a green mask and shout PETER PARKER!!

Bands constantly re-record other band's songs. Why not have studios make "cover games"?

For reference "new trend in Japan" means it happened once, maybe twice.

Yakitori chicken skin is one of my favorites. Find a place that does it well and it's a wonderful treat.

Same as the music industry 20 years ago. It's not like people stopped making music just because companies couldn't make a million billion trillion dollars anymore.

BYD is starting to get a foothold, but apart from the rare Corvette or whatever, American cars are not a thing. I expect other countries will be like this too.

Skippy @skipphead.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Japan is kind of a weird market, but European brands like Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Volvo, etc. mange to sell here, even Tesla is growing but legacy American brands are essentially nonexistent. They don't offer what people want so nobody buys outside of enthusiasts.

Skippy @skipphead.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
I see articles like this and living in Japan I can tell you large parts of the world already have moved away from American cars.

Skippy @skipphead.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
I haven't been back in a while, but every time I go, my opinion doesn't change. America rules in crazy toppings, but for just general quality and flavor, I know a couple places that are leaps and bounds better. Wouldn't surprise me if other countries passed the US too.

Skippy @skipphead.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Never tried that, but as an American living in Japan, I can tell you Japanese burger quality is way better than the USA.

No Genesis but jumped from SNES to PS2. No money, more interested in women than games, still enjoyed the SNES. Now I'm seeing what I missed. Bought a Saturn a few weeks ago, what a wild time I skipped.

Hah! They won't let me you see the site if you live overseas.

It's good! Probably won't challenge you too much but I enjoyed my time in Donut County.

Ever try white/golden raspberries? Look forward to them every early summer.

I gotta ask... Is that Nissan Cube rare? They're super popular in Japan and I see them all the time.

That being said, nearly everything I buy I intend on playing. Every once in a while I find a deal too good to pass up on something I don't like but I've all but stopped buying those.

Skippy @skipphead.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
I love both collecting and playing old games, but I'm not gonna lie... I spend more time collecting than playing. My time is limited and it's easy to pop in a used game shop or whatever while hanging out with my kid. It's not so easy to actually play the game with him around.

Skippy @skipphead.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
There are some pretty memorable experiences on the SNES, but it's hard to argue much is better than NES Kirby.

I see. I've got a couple 8bitDo products, but I don't know about their mod kits. Something to look up. Thanks.

Skippy @skipphead.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
How's that modded? Like Bluetooth or something on an old bone controller?

Counterpoint: it's called an OVEN mit. That means it shouldn't be used on anything without the word oven. It's not anyone ever called it a microwave ov... I'll see myself out.

Fuck, I forgot about Bubble Bobble.

Skippy @skipphead.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Feel like both can be true. When I play Mega Man 2, I'm 8 again. When I play something old I missed that's good, I'm understanding why it's stood the test of time. When play something new and good, I can get childlike joy.

I would have absolutely believed this was an old game ad if it wasn't for the word "fucking"

I just did it myself twice. Second time was games I've purchased twice, but both cases 9 is not nearly enough.
000
Skippy @skipphead.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Now my top 9, but games I've bought more than once (not counting collections, that would be a pretty long list).
