I would very much like to know about "old videogames hardware" please oh great wise one.

I'm gonna take this opportunity to gush about the Casio Loopy.

Here she is in all her glory! The Casio Loopy is a 32-bit console released in 1995 by Casio exclusively in Japan. It's largely notable for its heavily girl-centered marketing and for its defining gimmick, having a built in sticker printer to print all sorts of things!

This magnificent piece of hardware is powered by a Hitachi SuperH 32-bit CPU. It's part of the same CPU family as the one Sega loved to use, being in the 32X, Saturn, Dreamcast and a bunch of arcade machines! Of course, the one included in the Loopy is much less powerful than any of those, but it's still a fully fledged 32-bit CPU running at a decent 16 MHz!

The games..... I've actually never played any of them >_> And even if I did I wouldn't get a lot out of them since they're all in japanese... Only 10 of them ever got released (11 if you count the Magical Shop, more on that in a bit), with Wanwan Aijou Monogatari looking like the main standout title (A small adventure title about a girl and her dog... notable for having its story written by Kenji Terada of Final Fantasy fame!)

Another interesting release is the Magical Shop, an accessory that adds AV-in ports to the console, letting you pass video through from other devices and using it for your stickers!

It's a shame the console didn't get much support... I bet it's got some hidden potential underneath it all... But I guess that's part of what compels me so much about consoles like this.

I know your day will come someday, little Loopy

#Casio Loopy #i love retro consoles in general btw if you mention pretty much ANY of them chances are i can ramble on about them for ages just like this #thanks for the ask!!! ^_^#ess rambles

The best piece of advice I ever got was not meant as advice, but as an edict. If I was going to threaten people as a joke, it had to be so far out of proportion with what happened that it would be obvious I was joking. This changed how I expressed frustration with others. It then changed how I expressed frustration with myself.

Not “I’m going to hit you” but “I am going to buy a tuna sub from the gas station and hide it under the seat of your car”

Not “I’m going to kill myself” but “I am going to walk into the desert and let the scarabs take me”

The other side then happened. When I mess something up, instead of saying it’s bad and perpetuating negative thoughts, swing hard the other way.

Not “this art is terrible” but “this shall be framed and mounted on the wall in my museum exhibition as testament to the suffering I had to overcome”

Have been doing this since high school. It was my drama teacher who asked me to please stop scaring the actors. The other half of the edict was that I had to say it in a polite tone, and end it with either please or thank you.

Life changing. 10/10 Mr Muëller. Highly reccomend.

#my life #why yes #this is obvious in my writing #thank you for asking

hbomberguy’s latest video on plagiarism has made me completely rethink literature and writing. I have never once so much as considered intentionally plagiarizing anyone or anything, but I think there’s something more that has come out of this: the names of the people who created the works Somerton (and others) ripped off.

Plagiarism isn’t only bad because it is lazy and disrespectful, it’s bad because it buries the truth. If you can’t find a source, the conversation is over. Somerton’s sources are fairly easy to find by simply searching his plagiarized lines, but that isn’t true in most cases. Most of the time, the line from statement to source is a lot less clear.

Today, I was writing a report on English Ivy, which is an invasive species here in the US. I wanted to know when it was introduced and I at last found a source claiming it was introduced to the Americas “as early as 1727” on a .net website that seems quite reputable (it has multiple major universities credited in its home page), but there is no citation for where this date came from. I dug deeper and found a pamphlet created by a city government in Virginia that made the same claim, only to discover the first source linked in their bibliography. Another website (a botanical garden’s page) gave the same date with the same source hyperlinked. Of course, I have classes to attend and things to do and probably not enough time to follow the lines back to where this 1727 date came from, but if I had not just watched this video, I wouldn’t have given that date a second thought.

Of course, it doesn’t matter in the long run exactly what year hedera helix was introduced to the Americas, but it makes you wonder how many facts have been so vaguely attributed that it becomes completely impossible to figure out where they originated (and further, whether or not they’re true at all).

#hbomberguy #james somerton #plagarism #EDIT: it was introduced to *the americas* NOT the US in (probably) 1727 #THANK YOU anon ask person!!!#the US didn’t exist in 1727

It is scientifically proven that Dungeon Meshi will cause one of the characters to manifest in your head and tell you how to improve your life. You either get:

Senshi: eat well, rest, nourish yourself

Chilchuck: labor rights, advocate for yourself, scrutinize everything

Marcille: take care of yourself, study necromancy, be a lesbian

Laios: respect everything, learn about the world around you, be autistic.

#Mine is a Chilchuck and he tells me not to ask for extra work #dungeon meshi #dunmeshi #dungeon meshi spoilers #I think #thanks king

🫡🤩🎙

🫡 Coldest Sonic Take?

I have not enjoyed the Zeti. I will not enjoy the Zeti. I do not, nor will I ever, care about the Zeti. Why did they push the Zeti so hard for so long.

🤩 Favorite Sonic-related memory?

Going to see Sonic 2 with my friends... I hadn't seen them in a while by then due to the pandemic, and because we wanted to avoid the Latino dub we ended up having to take quite a hike to find a theater that played the movie subbed, but we had a great time...

🎙️ Favorite Sonic Voice Actor?

Assuming this is about Sonic the Character, it's by far Ryan Drummond. I love his take on Sonic, specially in SA1, and it helps that the main voiced Sonic games I grew up with were SA1 and Heroes :P

If it's about Sonic the Franchise instead I really like David Humphrey's Shadow in SA2.... he's a big part of why I find that game's story so touching.... he's really good at it!

#thanks for the ask!!! ^_^

When I followed you earlier today and then realized this blog wasn't even two days old it made me feel like I invested in a startup.

Do you think if you did the lyrics for Fireflies by Owl City, your database would give us fireflies? (Will also accept owls. And there's a line about sheep too).
