If you're going to let AI write your YouTube scripts, please keep using ChatGPT. It's so bad at writing that we can easily tell it's AI, so that helps us know to skip your channel.

The box art for Hanasaka Tenshi Tenten-Kun no Beat Breaker was definitely a choice. Does this angel's junk win the award for "Most Screen Time for a Penis" in the Famitsu awards?

Amongst locals, it's widely believed that this place is just a money laundering front and tax shelter for the owners "real", shadier business. Really fun to look around in, but don't buy anything - it's all overpriced and the customer service is non-existent. youtu.be/9038zKL92rQ?...

Apparently, Beyond the NES got about 1/3 as many pre-orders as Mr. Beast's new book. So I'm 30% of the way towards being a billionaire!

Would have blown my mind as a kid also, since the Raspberry Pi hidden inside the cartridge that's doing all the actual 3D processing didn't even exist back then! In all seriousness this sort of stuff is cool to see but the Famicom is really only being used for the final drawing pass.

Oh I wonder what the upcoming successor to the Switch will be? I bet it'll be the WiiU2, with a partnership with U2.

Are you on the larger side, and always struggling to find retro tees that are big enough and still cool? Lots of retro-gaming designs, tons of color options, and all the way up to 5x. Wish they used better shirts (they're Gildan) but honestly I haven't found better at my size. www.pixelretro.com

Mr. Sheeran, my brother in Christ, you are worth $400 million. You can afford to break your contract and refuse to play any venue that mistreats your partner acts. That's not a political move. That's a basic human decency move.

Crunch happens. I worked 120 hour weeks for three months trying to get one project out. Never again, my family comes first. Small crunch times are a common reality in games, but always correcting for a scheduling mistake. Bosses who intentionally rely on crunch are exploiting their workers.

Absolutely disgusting. Please don't ever hire me. Fuck, and I cannot stress this enough, Joe Brammer, CEO at Bulkhead Studios. "I expect people to crunch," says Wardogs boss, so they will "check people's socials" to see if they criticize crunch online before hiring share.google/2a0grfIBNPJj...

Finally blocked GameRant from my Google feed. So tired of headlines written like there's a new game announcement, only for the actual news to be "they released a pack of collectible cards only in Taiwan". What a joke of a site.
