Thanks for the fitness tips email AliExpress! Reckon I'll go for a few reps of some Saturn shmups, and then a bit of endurance training on the consolised CPS2 rig.

Got the new Last Bong of Humanity EP! 29 seconds of Amiga-worshipping stoner goregrind metal… that will take me about an hour to get playing from the floppy. Big up Floppy Egg records!

Treated myself to some empty markers, mops, nibs, rollers, can caps, paint… and some blank holographic egg sheep stickers. Cant wait to get covered in paint and ink tonight!

I love this! Sega’s shmup Zaxxon was turned into a playable scratch card (found in some 1983 Video City trading cards). Scratch your route through the circles to reveal enemies, points, and threats! I guess you can 1CC it if you beat it first try!

I found these sealed 1992 video game trading cards in a local record store. Ripped ‘em open! Being US-made, I was not expecting the cards to focus on games from Japanese devs like Hudson, Jaleco, Natsume, etc. I’d best go back and grab more!
