Third lottery and still couldn’t get a ticket for Hikaru Utada in Saitama. (I have one for Sendai but I’m greedy)

I finally got this 360 S (¥500 Hard Off junk) up & running. Hard Off sticker said they reformed the 250gb drive but the console didn’t recognize it at all & neither did Windows Disk Management. Bought a new HDD from Ali for ¥1500. Now I have a working Lost Odyssey Machine again!

Bluesky is so much better because trump literally just got fucking shot and I open up this app and yep the first post I see is someone talking about the saga dreamcast

“Friends” in Akihabara is closing at the end of August. Friends was one of the only mom-and-pop owned retro shops remaining in Akiba and it really sucks to hear it is saying goodbye.

In my apartment, I’m constantly getting fliers to move to to OTHER apartments. And the owners seemingly don’t care. If I owned this building, I’d be cracking down on that.

I’m at Book Off Otawara. Second time to this store.

Stopped at WonderGOO Otawara. Pretty decent collector’s case for being out in the inaka.

I found ONE Hard Off flight tag. They’re hard to find because @jodopro hoarded them all 😛 #ハードオフファミリー

“Hey Tencho, should we ask an English speaker to check this sign?” “Nah just send it to the printers” #変な英語

Hard Off gets Gold Wii Wheel (Club Nintendo prize) ¥500 Nintendo brand S-video cable ¥500 Genki Rockets II: No border between us ¥300 Björk: Vulnicura ¥100 #ハードオフファミリー

Love a good macaroni western

Hudson??

Did NIS America sell a localized Persona Trinity Soul? EBay sold prices are crazy. I just found the limited edition first volume for ¥300.

I’m at Hard Off Nishinasuno in Tochigi. This is my second time to thus store; the last time was in March 2023. #ハードオフファミリー

I was thinking about going to the new Hobby Off in Asakusa that opened today. But it will cost ¥4500 round trip. So nah.

The same kanji but different 3 stations and 3 pronunciations 😵‍💫 WHY, Japanese people?

Hard Off: Found The Making of Metal Gear Solid 2 promo DVD, sealed, ¥200

I’m at Hard Off Utsunomiya Eki Higashi. #ハードオフファミリー

Free booze from 7-Eleven app

Good price for AV Famicom? With 2 controllers, Unchecked and missing AV cable (easily replaced)

Today’s my 1 month anniversary of moving into my new apartment. Still need a lot more furniture. But I’m not in a huge hurry to acquire it all at once. Plus June was a HELL of an expensive month and I only got 1/2 a month’s paycheck for it.

If AI is really so great, can we use it to replace the TSA?
