Accidentally bought a pinball machine again... Future Spa (Bally, 1979). How can you not be excited by this theme and art direction? It's a great game too, luckily.

The formation of a new Swedish government is, currently, an absolute clusterfuck. The party leaders are even dodging the task to try forming one. Madness. This is all due to the immense polarization in politics and the movement towards two blocks, a la republicans vs democrats, and I hate it.

Am I going to see a ”medieval doom metal” band today? Yes, yes I am, thanks for asking. The hurdy will be gurdied. 🤘

I just got a very angry phone call from my flu-ridden girlfriend, screaming at me for buying cheap single-ply recycled kitchen paper towels even though she explicitly requested the fancy, bleached thick kind. This is what 21 years together comes to and I love it. 🥰

I love this weird shitpost so much that I’ve started using ”pebis” as a short hand for any drink (especially beer) almost daily.

A world where a twist ending is repurposed as a video title. where a thing's climax has been removed, leaving an advertisment for the gap where it used to be. such things are commonplace in. the twilight zone

While testing every DS/3DS game I own, I’m happy when I find my old receipt I chucked into the case. Seems I bought a lot of used video games for REAL cheap in game stores back in the day. Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland for €15 felt particularly neat.

The DS/3DS sure was nice if you were a Dragon Quest enjoyer. Especially since Europe had seen pretty much none of these except VIII.

Romancing SaGa 3 remake is lovely to see. The remake of 2 was excellent, and I welcome more people accidentally becoming SaGa Sickos.

Nintendo Direct time! I'm gonna be super hyped for a bunch of games and then be sad I can't buy most of them on little plastic cartridges that contain said games.

Side note: pretty excited about the prospect of maybe getting a release of this re-arranged Ocarina of Time soundtrack on CD. Video game music rocks.

I'm an absolute sucker for limited Nintendo handhelds—especially with Zelda artwork. Of course that means I now have a certain Switch 2 pre-ordered! The old tradition of giving my girlfriend my previous handheld console continues.

Oops, bought a Nord Lead 2X! I’ve worked with Pelle Jubel on Reason for 15 years now and decided it was about time I had his sonic signature in hardware, too.
