Pick ups today were better than most. #retro #retrogames #superretrosquad

Not a bad $2 market find today.

Just played WoW for the first time - and I’m a 90’s boy.

I just realized I haven't promoted my podcast on here: @thisthingrules.bsky.social, a show where @brianaltano.bsky.social and I talk about a single thing we love. Recent topics include: Swords Stickers Mornings Monsters Being a Dad McDonaldland Slime open.spotify.com/show/7eWa6Ly...

Share a movie you love, but others don’t.

Check out all the Super Game Boy borders available for every Game Boy and Game Boy Color game. www.vgmuseum.com/features/sgb

Check out a bit of a throwback here where Dan chatted with the You Don’t Know Videogames crew, thanks @benjum.bsky.social - this was rad! youtu.be/hQSLbqPKhqg?... #indiedebs #indiegamedevs #horrorgames

PLAY THE GAME! In very exciting news, the build we have worked so hard on is now available for free. Wallow in the gore, laugh at the poo jokes, fill out the feedback survey (optional), and spread the word! badplanstudios.itch.io/end-of-ember #indiegames #indiegamedev #horrorgames

On a scale of 1-10, how much should I watch Bojack Horseman?

one of my strongest held beliefs is that we will not fix any of our most serious problems unless we are willing to hold a Nuremberg for social media executives, funders and engineers

Yuck Elon, and Yuck Twitter Gold 🤮 It costs around 12K a year…. What a horrible waste of money, Instead of doing that, we are giving $1000 to a different charity each month this year. Starting with Doctors Without Borders!

My big buy from my trip to Melbourne. You don’t see many Dino Riders anywhere anymore - let alone in such a wonderful display as seen at @lobos_collectables. Very happy to have another boxed piece of plastic join all my other plastic. #dinoriders #retro #toys #retrotoys #vintage #vintagetoys

Not a bad haul for the long weekend. Soccer, Gyromite and Mario Bris for the NES are all 5-screw. And I somehow ended up with ‘Grimace’s Birthday’ in there. #nintendo #supernintendo #snes #nes #gameboy #nintendo64 #n64 #pokemon #pokemonpinball #tmnt #aladdin #retro #superretrosquad #retrogames

Weekend trip to Melbourne proved fruitful. Owner of the store mentioned he has sold more Dino Riders in the last 12 months than in the past 5 years combined. Stop that, everyone. They’re already expensive and hard to find. #toys #dinoriders #retro

The Godzilla: Skate or Die collected edition releases April 29th! Includes never published backup material too. 🦖🛹🛼🛹🛼🦎 #comics #read @idwpublishing.bsky.social

HEDORAH!! 🤢

'Ring Raiders' was a really weird name for a plane toy range.

Some of you never sat through an insanely long Metal Gear Solid cutscene and it shows.

This is the reason the Switch 2 has two USB-C ports now. This counts as leak, I am now a leaker. Nintendo's lawyers are trying to bust through my roof as I write this. They even got Reggie back to kick my ass. Please give to my eventual legal-fee Gofundme.

What a morning - David Lynch dies, Switch 2 is officially revealed and Dan Slott has left Marvel for DC to write Superman.

In space, no one can hear you Switch

My name is Ryan K Lindsay - I’m an Australian comic writer. I mostly play in spec fic - sci fi and crime and such allow me to comment on the world around me. I’ve won a few awards and sold some copies. I also run an English Faculty and teach creative writing. #portfolioday

I want this book so much.

I don’t know who needs to read this, but when filming yourself look at the camera, not the screen. Stop. Looking. At. Your. Face.

Another mail call - not only does this instructional video have 90’s oozing from its every frame (including casual racism), it’s hosted by a ‘dude’ wearing a backwards hat AND has all the G.I Joe/Street Fighter toy ads. #vhs #nintendo #capcom #streetfighter #streetfighter2 #supernintendo #snes #sega

Not all heroes wear a cape - they also dress as Wizards.

Our latest Video Game History Hour podcast talks to The Strong's director of digital preservation Andrew Borman: gamehistory.org/episode-122-... (Reminder: Patreon subscribers - www.patreon.com/gamehistoryorg - get access a day early, and bonus episodes too!)

Uncanny X-Men is such a great comic right now. I dropped Uncanny at the end of Messiah Complex after 15 years of continuous reading. @gailsimone.bsky.social and her co-creators have done a brilliant job of balancing fun with drama. Character with plot progression. Weirdos with weirdos. Get it!

Nintendo is on Tinder now.

FINALLY! After a year of hearing out to markets and garage sales I FINALLY found NES games in the wild! #nintendo #nes #retro #retrogames

I just spent the last 20 mins editing down the trailer to Frankenhooker for a video. The lengths I go to for my creations.

Why do my New Years always start like this?
