A round trip plane ticket to Japan to buy all the animal crossing amiibos for about US$3 each or less? Or did you feel the need to buy all stock you saw like you were saving shelter animals?

Otherwise I don't feel so bad with the weak yen knowing how expensive everything in the US seems now 😮

YouTube video by Japan Game Junk Immigration: Addition is not Subtraction.

Just a few thoughts here in the Japanese town with the highest percentage of population of immigrants

A nice Monday with 4 hours so far gambling with fake money that is guaranteed to be down to zero on a long enough time frame

Not a crypto exchange! This form involves cute animated foxes and bees and rabbits and lulls you with hypnotic color and circus music

So actually kind of like crypto I guess

You inspired me to come here today... Meatballs will be to go

Also decent chips and salsa are in almost every well stocked food store.

Young people will usually have had good exposure to Mexican food so this is much more reflecting his age than this culture and understanding. It's similar to an elderly American eating "sushi" of can tuna on long grain rice 😂

To be fair you can't get American cheese here

These seem to be QBB slice cheese cheddar blend but perhaps another brand

Great Mexican food is available in Japan much like great Japanese food in America at least when I was there. It exists and you find your favorite spot. Mine is "Mike's"

For people wanting to experience Japanese burger chains

MOS Burger is for gentrifying hipsters

Dom Dom Burger is for the real ones

I loved the ending theme so much that I saved a game right before it played. I would plug a cassette adapter into my Game Boy Color so I could listen to it blasting in the speakers of my Nissan Maxima at 18 years old. 26 years later it still pops in my head.

8 slimes fuse to become a king slime!

Haha one or two won't cut it

Chronicling them on the YouTube channel in individual videos including price and place of purchase

#1267 just uploaded today and theoretically uploading faster than acquisition so in the end they should all be up and all actually played 😎 (for seconds at least)

Subway here doesn't even have them... They were removed from the menu years ago and I can't even get the bad ones. Turkey breast too.

Just about supply and demand... Japanese people can't appreciate such culinary excellence I guess 😭

However, I can always go to Ikspiari!

That's in Ikspiari, the shopping mall attached to Tokyo Disney! I go often as the Ikspiari credit card gives me free parking😅

It's fun, low cost, and decent, but I admit I don't go often... Ikspiari has many specialty restaurants that offer food I love but not common in Japan like meatball subs 😁

So wistful!

In Japan those are the "typical 11" that Virtual Boy collectors can find for reasonable prices and the EXACT games I had for years and years until deciding to put some effort into getting more a couple of years ago, now adding Space Squash, Fishing, and Innsmouth.

Just 3 more to go...

I love women and wish I were a Sega Genesis

Haha good thing you stopped there and didn't go another hour north or you would have wanted to escape right back 🤣

In any case we're both in better places now 🙂

Oh wow! I would go with my mother with the easy drive down I-75 into Cobb County every month and often to Cumberland Mall!

Maybe we ran into each other there unknowingly at the time. That would be just before my own big move and I had started games as a collection ☺️

It's Hut Day in Japan so I'm glad to be alone in the office until the evening.

In minutes the car and then the workplace will be thick with the scent of pepperoni.

If there was such a thing as "final smell" for me on death row this is what'll be pumped in the room when the needle is being inserted

That must have been an AMAZING feeling at the time if you were waiting for it...

As an adult, day one system buys are the norm, but as a carless teen in rural Georgia there was no place to even buy one in town. Imagine a Chattanooga mall 30 miles away being your best access for reliable game buys 🤣

Some of us are working hard to catch up and I'm doing my best... I might appreciate the beauty and functionality of said structure more than anything

That being said, get your colonoscopy everyone. I had two removals in my last one, it didn't hurt, and the cute and funny nurse almost stole my heart

I have almost 11,000 physical games in a library in my house so "Don't forget" for me is for everything other than game playing 🤣

I never even learned what discord was despite game pass continuously offering "3 months of nitro free" which I guess makes it faster on the road

Just like cancelling all other social media it seems the decision to avoid unblockable anonymous online contact remains a win. I'm pleasantly unaffected.

Coincidentally played it live on stream last night...

I don't know if the North American version was the very flawed Japanese launch version or the fixed "Circuit Edition" that was released soon afterward... Hope it's the latter.

Takenobu Mitsuyoshi should have won all awards in music

Oh nice! I had no idea it was outside Japan. I was there yesterday and go often!

The only annoying thing is the compulsion to eat in 500 yen increments to get to the next capsule toy game... I sometimes need 2 or 3 plates even after being full 🤣

Often find them in used shops for 100-500 yen until a few years ago... Haven't seen them recently. One of those things collectors suddenly swooped up around here. Glad to know someone in the world is giving care to one ☺️

Still play it often on 3DO with the Capcom Pad Soldier.

At 10 I saved up my allowance for SFII on SNES. $70...

Amazed

Saved up for a 3DO almost 10 times the cost.

Amazed

As an early teen saved up my allowance for SSFIIT on 3DO. $70...

No regret. Arcade perfect. Best SF2 until the Switch remake

One person's realization from his high school language class and intuition into how an English customer might utilize the controller prevented the world from dealing with a start button called "red".

At first there was discussion to label them Y X B A as on the Super Famicom controller, with Z as trigger and the main buttons being "blue" and "green". It was then decided by an engineer to call it "C" for "camera" as in the use in the Mario launch game. (It starts with a "K" in Romanized Japanese)

Wait until the see the NES Super Sprint title screen intro

As a kid I'd rent it multiple times just to laugh at it as part of the fun if the game

Pro wrestling could be an Olympic sport if after a match judges gave numerical ratings of quality.

In fact, it should.

Critics look at pro wrestling fans as stupid for wanting to know who wins a fake fight. They should look in the mirror to see their own ignorance.

The fans ARE the judges.

An argument that should be made against people who parrot with derision that "pro wrestling is fake".

Right now the Olympics have the event of figure skating. In the summer there is synchronized swimming and artistic gymnastics.

Sports completely rehearsed and sometimes performed in cooperation...
