This is my personal/primary account. Mostly posting about #Pokemon #Nintendo #Gaming #RetroGaming #VideoGames
I went to Japan in November 2023 and I just wrote a feature about the best things to do there for Nintendo/Pokemon fans. Check it out at Uproxx:

According to Bulbapedia, this is the first-ever Charizard card released in English!

Who should take over as Mario with the news that #CharlesMartinet is done voicing him?

I made my own Pokedex book!

I designed these Pokedex cards, printed and cut them out, and put them in a perfectly sized binder. Very happy with how this little book turned out. It's fun to take off the shelf and flip through sometimes.

Should I do more photos in this style? This is an alternate version of a picture I took and posted on my Instagram a few years ago.

What's the rarest or most obscure #card that you own?
I got lucky with this #Mew: it was a throw-in with an unrelated, inexpensive Pokémon lot on a Japanese auction site. It doesn't seem there are many copies of this card out there: PSA has only 9 in their population report.

Favorite base set card?
Got PSA-graded #Bulbasaur, #Charmander, #Squirtle, and #Pikachu #cards from #eBay a few months ago for like $10 each. Cheap considering PSA grading costs $25 per card. These cards aren't really valuable, but they look nice slabbed and displayed on a shelf.

Best #game of the original three #SuperMarioBros games for #NES?
I like these zoomed in and artistically framed sorta #photos like this that visually recontextualize lines, shapes, and designs that we've seen thousands of times before.

@phi1997 I feel that. I'm more like 1-99 though haha. I still like to collect and own physical copies of my favorite games, but I enjoy the conveniences of ROMs and emulators too much to play on original hardware much these days.
#Netflix: "hey, we're taking #ArrestedDevelopment off Netflix."
me at #Goodwill with $12 today:
@berkough Your question just made me realize I'm not! Still on Monterey, it turns out. I must have seen the new features, figured I didn't need them immediately, and just forgot to ever do the upgrade. Monterey's still treating me fine and don't feel an urgent need to leave it, but I suppose I'll make the switch at some point here.
@berkough Macs definitely age super well. I have a 2013 MacBook Pro that I was using as my daily driver until not long ago, and I could still get by with it being my main machine now if I needed. (I splurged on an M1 Mac Mini with all the upgrades when those came out.) I still use it for some things when I don't want to be tied to my desk.
Even when the MacBooks eventually age out of being macOS-viable, they'll still run something like Linux Mint well, too.
Anyway, happy yours is working out!
Saw this ETA Prime video, "Should You Buy This $129 #Laptop From Walmart?," about the #Lenovo IdeaPad 1i.
I was convinced until a YT commenter reminded: buy used! 1i specs aren't great and you could do much better with something a few years old.
I want a #Windows #computer for infrequent use (#Mac user here), so instead, I grabbed a #Dell Latitude E5470 (i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD), $105 on #eBay. Should be a dece machine (could be a good #Linux device too).
Favorite #retro #game available on #Switch?

I know the "look forward" in this headline is a quote, but I can't help but read it as sarcastic.
"Fans can 'look forward' to more 2D ‘Sonic’ games, claims ‘Frontiers’ director" via NME: https://www.nme.com/news/gaming-news/fans-can-look-forward-to-more-2d-sonic-games-claims-frontiers-director-3397618
@VicentePrecio It's a great-feeling device, better than a lot of newer ones
@VicentePrecio Bingo! It's a great GB/GBC/GBA machine if you have one lying around. Before getting my RG353P, I did an IPS screen mod on a PSP and it looks great.
