Time to enter the ＧＡＭＥＲ ＺＯＮＥ

Camera, printer, sewing machine, now a fucking anaesthetic adminstrator…was there anything the Game Boy didn’t have an accessory for?

gameboy sprinted so smart phones could lag and be ugly

What I saw somewhere on another post, ages ago, was that the GameBoy was THE cheap small computer of the 90s. Laptops existed by the 90s, as did cell phones, but they were very expensive and heavy. In 1995, a GameBoy cost about $100 in today’s money (per Wikipedia)–not nothing, but much more affordable for the average person. Also, it was insanely durable–“Nintendium” really was a thing back then. The result? People built all sorts of third-party cartridges to do things that were completely unrelated to gaming. The post I’m referencing showed a cartridge that controlled a sewing machine. Absolutely fascinating stuff.

You’re not far off, but I will point out that they cost about $100 in 1990 money, so definitely more than $100 today.

ran out of things to run to or away from. what now

Your heart is not true enough to enter the gates of Margaritaville

My heart was heavier than the feather; I am sentenced to Rainforest Cafe

i know the way people talk about their pets now is probably how we’ve been doing it for all of history. a cat owner in ancient rome saw their cat lounging on the dining pillows and commented “he thinks himself to be the senator claudius 🤣”

The first attested cat in Japan was given to a young 9th century emperor and his diary about it includes such gems as 'I affixed a bow about its neck, but it did not remain for long.", "The color of the fur is peerless. None could find the words to describe it, although one said it was reminiscent of the deepest ink.", "When it lies down, it curls in a circle like a coin. You cannot see its feet. It’s as if it were circular Bi disk." and "I am convinced it is superior to all other cats.” Basically posting about how his void is the best little void and so good at getting really round

Dude living downstairs has been loudly rapping for like 10 minutes, then suddenly did a high pitched scream, and now its silent down there
