found a rich vein of absolutely bizarre and incoherent books on amazon, can't figure out if they're written by a human or a bot. they've broken my brain even more than usual
i think i might have to do a thread on these later but for now please enjoy this excerpt Maybe tweeting this excerpt in advance of doing the actual thread was a mistake because this is already beginning to do numbers and people are probably going to dig up the shit I was planning to cover later
Just resist yourself from googling for now ok

a few cheap handhelds lately have had "game box power" on the box & i thought it was just words but now i found this one which actually is a power bank too & it suddenly makes sense
the others just copied that phrase from it i guess maybe the explosion motif isn't the one you want for your device with a massive lithium battery in it but idk i'm not a package designer

alright here goes
Arc System Works today released "Double Dragon & Kunio-Kun Retro Brawler Bundle" featuring brand new localisations of every Nekketsu Kunio-kun Famicom game(!!!)
Back in 2001-2002 I fan-translated one of those games, Nekketsu Soccer League
so let's compare? my translation was a solo job, age 14-15, JP level was like "can read hiragana/katakana, knows some very basic vocab" & the rest i covered using dictionaries and machine translation services, romhacking level was "can edit stuff in-place but nothing advanced like ASM hacks"

This is an amazing development - the hardware was only identified a few days ago and now the 6578, the first ever enhanced NES on a chip, is emulated along with three of the early plug n play systems that used it
masterdisk.byethost15.com/blog/libg/inde… The Bandai Gamepad from 1997 is possibly the first ever original plug n play as we know them today

thinking about that guy on question time last night who thought £80k/year didn't put him in the top 5% of earners when it absolutely did the thing is I can see how someone would reach that conclusion
so much in society is set up to make you think that kinda level is the norm
like house prices and rents, ESPECIALLY in London - I think living here has definitely given me a false impression of the average

honestly I am... Very Old compared to most of the kids on YT, but still the 8-bit heyday was way before my gamesplaying years, and I got extremely into NES games (mostly via emulation and the internet) as a teenager
this definitely isn't a new thing but it is cool people tend to assume that anyone younger than them will only care about their fortnites and minecrafts and whatever is current but that's really never been the case
