I found this while going through a binder. It's a Nintendo Age NES game price guide from November 2010. I scanned it for posterity. Check out how much Little Samson used to go for 👀 I miss the old internet and hobby specific forum sites like Nintendo Age.
Two minutes of two dead malls photographed with a Sony Mavica Floppy Disk camera. The camera model used was a Sony MVC-FD87. These are some of my most favorite photos taken with one of my Mavicas.

RIBS. I applied rub, wrapped them in foil, and let them cook in the oven for 6ish hours at 190°F. Then I let them rest for a bit, basted with BBQ sauce, and finished them on the BBQ. I also had a few beers in the pool. I am now fat, dumb, and happy.
Found it! I've been looking for this forever!

Time to blast demons with cookware on LGR! youtu.be/KA5uZw3oWXs Checking out the 1999 Easy-Bake Kitchen CD-ROM playset! I've always found these 90s keyboard attachments charming and this one takes the cake in being the most oddly alluring. Also you can use it to play Doom so that's enough for me.
