Eternal mall I'm not from Jacksonville, but Vinny's been one of my best friends for about 13-15 years, so I heard about how Regency Square is going to close. I wish malls would make a comeback, and they well could even in the days of online shopping. In the meantime, a VHS-esque clip of some malls with vaporwave music ought to scratch this itch for me



Seriously, malls should make a comeback. No, they're not as convenient as online shopping, but you could make a whole attraction out of a mall with food and shops and video games and all the other s*** they had back in the day.

Flea markets Anyone here visit flea markets? I like to go to them after work sometimes, and I even buy stuff from them.

Where else am I going to get OG Xbox games, CDs, and other physical media in 2025?

Nintendo test carts

Someone uploaded a clip of some of the cartridges Nintendo used to diagnose issues when repairing consoles. It's nothing too special considering they've been available for a while, but it's still pretty neat to me.

What is a man?! In 1997, Konami came out with the game Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for the original PlayStation. It was a unique game for a bunch of reasons: first, it was a 2D game in 1997, when 3D seemed like it'd take over entirely. Second, it's less like the Castlevania games that came before it, playing more like Super Metroid or Zelda II than a straightforward action game. Third, it's got cost-effective voice acting, to put it charitably. A lot of games did back then, and it's part of why they're still good today.

Since Dracula came up in the shoutbox, I guess it's as good of a time as any to thank tonight's sponsor: Natural gas!


No, wait. I mean, with the intro to Symphony of the Night:


What is a man?! A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk, have at you!!

the recursive NES

Here's a video of James Channel taking apart a copy of NES Open Tournament Golf, then jamming a NES clone inside of it. The end result is a NES game with a built-in NES.

Windows NT for GameCube/Wii https://github.com/Wack0/entii-for-workcubes

Someone ported Windows NT to GameCube and Wii. How well does it work? I don't know. How do you set it up? I don't know. I still wanted to share this because of how cool it is on the face of it
