#super expensive

(I didn't draw the hug. I'm cruel, I know.)

This is one of my favorite scenes from My New Family Is A Rat Who Mastered Ninjitsu and Three Turtle Brothers?

A one of my favorite reincarnation fics. Super good build up, great characterization and the author has a pretty good handle on kids' development.

Pocky & Rocky with Becky

For the franchise’s foray onto the then-new Game Boy Advance, Taito once again loaned the franchise out to another developer, the recipient this time being Altron, a company mostly known for licensed titles. Instead of following in the footsteps of the SNES games, Altron decided to create an entry that feels like a sequel specifically to the arcade game. This could be considered a flawed idea, seeing as how the SNES games are the most beloved entries, but if you have fond memories of the arcade game and aren’t looking for a co-op experience, this installment isn’t a bad way to spend an afternoon by any means. 

Magical Pop’n

Magical Pop’n is one of the best lesser-known Super Nintendo platform games. This would be quite a feat in itself, given that the SNES was home to hundreds of colorful fantasy platformers. It becomes even more impressive when you learn that it was made by a short-lived company, Polestar, which is not really known for anything else. And none of their few other titles was another platformer, either! Despite this, it fared quite poorly in its home country of Japan, being met with indifference and middling reviews in gaming publications. One of the reasons why the game was never ported and became a rarity, fetching ridiculously high prices on auction sites. 

Wakusei Aton Gaiden

In November 1990, the National Tax Agency of Japan held an event called “The Week to Understand Taxes”, which included several exhibitions and offices around the country. In order to appeal to children, the government commissioned a short anime video called Wakusei Aton (“Planet Aton”), along with an accompanying video game, Wakusei Aton Gaiden. The backstory for the game is that aliens, led by the evil King Quizzer, have attacked this planet and stolen their tax dollars, sending society into ruin. Kanta, an Earthling boy, teams up with Yuri, the princess of Aton, to hop in a ship and get back those funds. 

(I only know what 16 is I'm taking a gamble with 23 here)

it's scrimmy my best friend scrimmy :3

for 16, i'm pretty sure my Florence + the Machine record was like. $71? maybe $74?

i'm like 85% sure that's the most expensive one, but i'm really bad at keeping track of money, so.. who knows

as for 23, my second-hand Beatles compilation record! it's very beat-up but works really well somehow

A two-megawatt windmill is made up of 260 tons of steel that required 300 tons or iron ore and 170 tons of coking coal, all mined, transported and produced by hydrocarbons. It hold 700 gallons of oil and hydraulic fluid, and like car these need to be replaced every 9 months.

People might fall for the idea that we can merrily run on sunshine and breezes, alone, but with a few trillion dollars worth of mythical mega-batteries providing backup for a few minutes, it could spin until it falls apart over and over again and never generate as much energy as was invested in building it.
