I finally got to Gold. Man, what an absolute slog. @marvel-rivals.bsky.social

I got a new toy.

I had all these VHS tapes bc my mom worked at Pizza Hut. Sounds ghetto now (it was), but at the time it seemed really badass. Sometimes after school I'd wait there till her shift ended. She'd cash out some of her tips for quarters so I could play NBA Jam and Samurai Shodown. Really good memories.

Oh this is wild. I found the box my penis came in.

Milo had his tonsils taken out today and it was the saddest thing. I drew this sad tree while I waited.

Here's a watercolor I made a few years ago in the style of Nintendo Power dudes

Was just telling Milo how X-Men is like a soap opera and then this happened

I was just packing up an order for "Chris" and I remembered I haven't plugged my online store in a while. If you collect NES and SNES, come check me out. Use the code GGFIVE to save $5 off your order. 😘 Ghettogamer.net

Hey so I wrote a post about why retro gaming is the best gaming. Especially now. It's the reasons you think but maybe I can get you to think a little bigger, too? Please share. 😅 ghettogamer.net/2025/06/12/t...

Where are these ninjas now that we actually need them!?

This feels a little mean. Turtles and X-Men were cool at the same time, albeit briefly.

It's weird how less-popular the X-Men have become. Compared to TMNT or Masters of the Universe, I mean. Those franchises stand alone but X-Men have been lost in the Marvel cinematic content slop. I guess as long as Marvel/Disney are getting paid, they don't care which superheroes are earning it.

Remember order forms? You fill em out with a pen, mail it in an envelope and just when you forgot you sent it, your mom shows up with a package! Millennials are the last generation to truly understand delayed gratification.

Catching up on old comics is great, but the stories these old ads tell... That's the real drama! Pimples? Turtles? Belmonts and good ol Leslie Nielsen. Society peaked in the 90s just saying.

Metal Storm!

Got a good comics shipment today, trying to fill the gaps between Fatal Attraction and Phalanx Covenant. And fill out some Dark Phoenix for good measure.

I took a picture of a mosquito with my phone. Look at that bitey stingy bit. Gruesome!

My parents usually being me random old junk when they visit. This time is special, though! No controllers, sadly. I haven't tried it yet either.

Watching Strange World again because Milo likes it. I think it's terrible but it amuses me that Disney decided to make a whole-ass movie *just* to piss off MAGA.

Holograms are still cool, but they used to be °*cOoL*°

Today I drew a naked elf wizard lady. Still working on how to draw hands and feet and facial expression hair hips boobies stomach pelvis kneecaps and basically everything! ...except magic flame. I'm pretty satisfied with those.

Did this a while ago

If I just mass followed you it's because I'm lonely.

15 years ago I had the baddest-ass groom's cake. I mean, it melted a little. But that's Texas for you.

Thoughts?

Just digging through my comics for the first time in a few years. Cool stuff, imo.
