I hate this race to the bottom we've created with video game pricing: "$10? Ugh, it should be $5." "$5? Ugh, it should be $1." "$1? Ugh, it should be free." "It's free? Ugh, why can't people just make real games?"

Finally achieved mahjong rank 1 in Kurohyou 2 (the second Yakuza/Like a Dragon game for PSP) using TeamK4L's English patch. What a great implementation of riichi mahjong. That said, I may take a few days off of playing now. 😅

My white whale of merchandise will always be the F-Zero Machine Collections because I'd have to sell my limbs to get these. But damn, they're cool.

Something looms on the horizon... #NES #homebrew #nesdev #indiegames

I preordered Metroid Prime 4 on Amazon on June 16, 2017. Today, they finally cancelled my preorder. End of an era. 😢
