GM and happy Wednesday to all 24 of you and the 3,700 bots you interact with 🤖

Sometimes when I'm bored, I scroll through r/gameverifying just to see if I can spot the fakes or not. I don't collect for the GBA or DS, and the game verifying subreddit is my reminder why - I just don't have an eye for GBA and DS fakes.

"We Built this City" is largely regarded by music journos as one of the worst songs of all time. Here's the thing though, I would rather listen to this track than 95% of Jefferson Airplane's/Jefferson Starship's/Starship's catalog (although Jane fucking slaps).

I love 60s/70s rock, especially the love songs. You can, and should, mentally replace any use of the word "love" in a classic rock song with your favorite term for banging - the more lewd the better. Only then do the songs come alive to the modern listener.

Got the 5200 games done today. This took forever.

Checking in on Will Stancil and his Bluesky experience. Seems to be going well. To be fair, he'd delete Nostr too.

GM. Doing the 2004 thing today.

Mostr(.)pub seems cooked, momostr(.)pink seems to be doing fine. Anyone else seeing this with the bridges?

We're at the "this sucks" leg of the project. NES and 5200 cartridges don't fit in UGCs unless you cut away some or all of the holding tabs. I've been using a combination of a utility knife, flush cutters, and a Dremel. It's an arduous process.

I get exposure to pop music whenever I drive my wife's car. Sabrina Carpenters song Tears is wild. An entire song about how she leaves a snail trail everywhere if she sees a dude do literally any labor. The most offensive part is her wanting us to believe she owns Ikea furniture.

If you do hard mode on Wordle, it doesn't flag it as hard mode like Word5. What's the point if you can't wave it in front of all the normal mode users? #Wordle 1,702 4/6* ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟨🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 #WORD5 #499 3/6* (Hard Mode) 🟧⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟧🟧🟧🟧⬛ 🟪🟪🟪🟪🟪

I've been working on making cases for my all games that need them. Rather than attempt to frankenstein two DS cases together to hold the GBC rumble games, I just ordered a case from CustomGameCases. I like that its the exact same height and width of a standard DS case.

If you're an American, good news! It's not the "Valentine's Day Blues" that you are experiencing right now - you aren't lonely or anxious! You're just disgusted with yourself that you will have to root for the Tkachuks today. It's okay. It will pass.
