Cosmic Smash SEGA Naomi Arcade Cabinet *Ultra Rare* (Watch the video! :)) | eBay UK
This is an original and complete SEGA Naomi arcade cabinet of the ultra rare arcade classic Cosmic Smash. Less than 400 of these were made back in 2001 and this is the only one I ever saw in the wild.

I’ve been moving my physical games into the loft getting ready for some renovation. My collection is still kinda strong.
Hatred of AI now reaching the level of cultural consensus that becomes attractive to advertisers
Oh one hand, I’m absolutely pro physical media: ownership, preservation, simply the ability to hold the thing and admire the art (Capcom Dreamcast games, I’m looking at you) On the other hand: man, I hate getting up to change game.
Got all the online achievements in Dead or Alive 6 Last Round. I’m going to have to give this game a break almost immediately because I’m struggling to find the differences between it and DOA6. A real shame. I love DOA.
My 6 year old loves watching me playing Overwatch and is really pleased with his new Soldier 76 school bag 🥰 #Overwatch
Woke up with a desire to play Final Fantasy XI this afternoon. Streaming it from my laptop to my Xbox Series X via Moonlight is a great setup.
I had a dream last night that I became President of the United States. The whole time I was just thinking “But I’m English, this isn’t legal!”
Hot day. My boys have access to 100s of games. What do they choose to play? Gang Beasts.
Really pleased to have unlocked this achievement in #DeadOrAlive6LR tonight - I was worried I might not get it! #XBOX

I started Wo Long Fallen Dynasty on Xbox tonight. Seems like really good fun! Not as crushing as Nioh which is good. I really like Team Ninja!
I attended the Game Music Festival: Persona Grooves last night: lots of fun, great to hear Persona, particularly 5, music live. The soloists were absolutely incredible and it was great to see and hear Shoji Meguro play guitar - it was inspiring!
The Game Boy Color had ~two~ unique and exclusive Sakura Wars games - and this one's even better than the first! Come read all about Sakura Taisen GB 2: Mission Thunderbolt here! kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2026/06/22/s...
Sakura Taisen GB 2 Mission Thunderbolt: Bottled lightning
Nothing bad could ever happen inside the remnants of a giant battleship left wedged in a magical nest of demons, could it? Unlike the previous Game Boy Sakura Wars game, which was a sort of raising…

I was just going through some old photos: this is my hand compared to the size of the head of my son, Ben, when he was born. These days go by so fast. 😭

thank you for this thread! i had an off-the-cuff comic turned into a meme and it's such a weird feeling that my art is just being spread out there without any credit here's a version with my name on it, im fine with people using that one :)
It would also be nice if I could specify Apple Music as my favourite music app on my XBOX, so that it always launches attached to the guide rather than the audio section being empty until I launch it.
I suspect I’m the only person in the world that would like to be able to rip my CDs to my Series X like the OG XBOX could. Yes, I still play CDs on my Series X.
