Got the LRG release of Snow Bros today, and the case is… yuck. The clear plastic is super cheap, so it’s warped all around the top open edge on all sides.

Sega-16:

I assume a total of the declared value of the items, but the paperwork doesn't really give a clear picture for how those costs were calculated.

This was shipped through DHL. From my understanding, the $17 duty tax processing fee will be there no matter what. So, you may be better off ordering fewer, larger orders to help have that fee hit less.

Product classifications:
• Stuffed toys
• Game software
• Wallet/pass case
• Figure *no glue*

COO (Country of Origin): Japan - all
Extra duty: 0.0%

In case this is helpful to any Americans currently trying to figure out WTF is going on with extra costs when ordering from Japan:

Purchased from: Surugaya
Total price: 32790 JPY
Charged price: $216.39

Regulatory Charges: $1.34
Import/Export Duties: $32.51
Duty tax processing: $17.00

Me: Walks into US conv store followed by Japanese film crew.

Me: Pours large soda, stands there taking drinks.

TV program guests: 😳

Me: Scrunches face, shakes head, pour drink out.

TVPG: 😱

Me: Pours new drink, taste tests again. Walk to counter, worker on cellphone waves me goodbye.

TVPG: 🤯

Had to take our cat to vet urgent care, and they had a cat chonk chart on the wall.

I am of the age where I am equally “I appreciate things like that” and “damn kids with all their internet slang.”

Laughing at the fact that at trunk or treat tonight, I had to inform a mother that her daughter was dressed as Princess Daisy, as she had no idea who her child was character-wise.

A few thoughts after digging through so much video game history:

• Man, the 16-bit era was awesome
• I really missed a lot never owning a Game Boy Color
• PlayStation was pretty cool, man
• The Dreamcast had so many amazing games and unique features and boy did it and that Sega deserve so much more

The duality of iPhone alarms in my home.

Me: Two alarms, one for weekdays, one weekend. Edit either and change time as needed.

Wife: TWENTY-TWO alarms, each to a specific time of day. (Some even only 5 minutes apart.) Turn on or off depending on that day's wake-up time.

Peaky Blinders meme: No fighting with regime-run accounts. No fucking fighting with regime-run accounts!

Over my career, I'd never had the chance to talk to Tomonobu Itagaki, but he was someone who'd always fascinated me. (In part due to our shared public "hate" for Tekken.)

Last year, I reached out to him out of the blue, and he was incredibly kind and friendly.

I'm now really glad I did. RIP

Our twins are adding their first friend on Fortnite.

They grow up so fast.

What I saw when checking my local Target last night. The Xbox section didn’t used to be here (on the far side of the games area). Zero games actively being sold now.

Where Xbox used to be is now Switch 2. PlayStation section is not huge, but absolutely still exists.

The ONE generation I decide to go Xbox as my primary console is the one they decide to give up on consoles.

This is especially notable because, on the heels of Costco dropping the Xbox, talk is now Walmart and Target are doing similar.

All that remains of my local Target’s Xbox section. Zero games properly displayed (around eight stuffed into a clearance area). One console, an Xbox Series S.

Walmart still has its full section for now.

No thank you? The party here is already enough of an embarrassing mess.

That’s actually been a common thing for these kinds of phone numbers since the ‘80s. I remember being confused on why some infomercial numbers were too long.

Your phone would basically just ignore the final number, and it was only there to make a more catchy number to promote.

If only we’d given them another year, that wouldn’t have happened!

(If only Crunchyroll hadn’t gotten involved.)

Dirty Pair blu-ray collections for the TV series, OVAs, and three movies.

With the arrival of the OVAs and Features, the four year wait officially comes to an end.

Im one of those people who loves the idea of concerts if I can get a seat where I’m sitting down the entire time relaxing while listening to the music. 😅

There also this kinda near Shintom VCR-500 model VCR. Never in my life heard of the brand, but it’s a Japanese one.

We’re at the Goodwill “last chance bins” shop, and someone found a bunch of late ‘70s Star Wars and Star Trek posters in fantastic condition.

I don’t know how they even made it this far to show up in this place. I was kinda jealous as he was looking through them.

...I almost hate to say this, but I'm actually impressed the comments weren't devolving in the way I was instantly expected.
