Some light Friday reading by some @johntv.bsky.social guy.

Hi! Do you: * Own a Sega Genesis or Mega Drive that is easily accessible? * Know for sure what revision its internal board is? If so, please DM me! I need help testing something, and it'll take you 30 seconds or less if you've got the console(s) itself handy.

Oh Japan, I miss your beverage choices so much. Every day, I could pick something different and exciting. Every day, my mouth could enjoy a flavor nothing like the one it’d had the day before. And my beloved melon soda. 😩 America may be free, but our drink isles never will be.

Have a lot of unexpected thoughts about game shopping in Japan that I'll put into a blog later, but for now, Mollie's 2026 Japan Pick-ups! All prices US $1 = ¥160. First up: Issue 88 of Continue (which is now back in print) focused on Dreamcast for $11.25, and a used Apple HomePod Mini for $42.50.

I’ve now learned that JPN -> CAN -> USA is a hell of a lot easier than JPN -> USA in terms of immigration.

Man, KIX is just tax/duty free shopping hell now. I miss what the airport used to be.

I have, after all these years, learned the opposite of the gaijin seat: when you’re sitting on a train, and OTHER gaijin come sit next to you, and it makes you, a gaijin, nervous. 😅

There’s an 8 (or so) year old girl here playing Taiko no Tastijin on the hardest charts, with her own drumsticks, playing BOTH DRUMS AT ONCE, and every accomplishment I’ve made in video games now feels like nothing.

Gachapon to commemorate the physical releases of classic Sony games on PlayStation. palpatineironic.gif

I bought my dream Mega Drive game today. $150. 😅 (Not Battlemania II. I can’t even dream of buying that.)

Somehow, @24bitaje.bsky.social and I have now done a show for three months in a row! This time, we focus in on the death of physical media. Subscribe or download below! radio.morningproject.com/archives/1059

Cannot believe I’m saying this, but… are we going to hit 170?

*You go to work at EGM2, excited for you job* You: Hey boss! What games do I get to play today? Boss: Actually... we need you to make a few flags for a layout.

Anyone I follow know any HARDCORE Pokemon TCG people I could ask a few questions to? I'm trying to get a proper read on a few cards I have that have been very hard to get a real picture of due to rarity.

Anthony and I are going to do a shorter podcast episode tonight about Sony's physical games announcement. If you want to send over your thoughts for us to read, send me a DM here or email gvgp@morningproject.com.

😬

Some fun excerpts from the EGM2 issue I'm working on.

Final is Bison vs. Blanka?

As a head’s up if anyone out there is looking for one, going to be selling my Retro USB AVS (with upgraded NES port) with or without a bundle of games. If you’re interested, DM me.
