Nephew. And he's pretty damn cute.

Congrats, brotha!  Now, it’s your duty as an uncle to give him a shitty nickname and tell him dirty-ish jokes.

And, of course, corrupt him with as much video game stuff as possible.

[telly]

Are we talking good corruption or bad corruption?  This is a very heavy responsibility

[kashell]

Good, of course. Video games are a good thing.

[kashell]

Sad face.

I saw that. It’s getting to be that time. The pioneers are getting older.
The only absolutes in life are death and taxes.

A wise man once said, “Don’t take life too seriously. No one gets out alive.”

Turf and Kash going to be present next week? I assume brother of Turf and maybe Betrothed of Kashell will be there as well?

They have Skyline locations there, would y'all be down with trying it fresh in store as opposed to out of a can/from a packet? You know I have to at least try to ask but 'No' is a perfectly acceptable answer.

Sadly, I won't be able to make it to the arcade expo this year. I have some family stuff that happens to be going on that same weekend. I hate that I'll be missing out on all the fun and hanging with everyone!

[turf]

Yeah. I’m not going to make it either. I’m already having a bad case of FOMO over it.

[kashell]

Yeah. I’m not going to make it either. I’m already having a bad case of FOMO over it.

Same!! The FOMO is so real.

Same!! The FOMO is so real.

Ahhh, that's a shame. I was looking forward to seeing you guys there. 

Next year perhaps? 

[kashell]

I hope so. It's always a damn good time.

[turf]

I hope so. It's always a damn good time.

Ole Papa Turf always enjoys a weekend of pinball and cocktails!  One more for the Doctor!

[Cartagia]

Kash, how’d you fare through last night’s storm?  Luckily very little damage in my area.

[kashell]

Our neighborhood was all good. Only a few downed branches here or there. Downtown, on the other hand, didn't do so well.

It honestly amazes me that even in 2020, I'm still finding PS1 games that I've never heard of before. The days of this happening with most other classic consoles are long over by this point, but PS1 is like a never ending trove of games. I've heard of a lot of PS1 games, and I own quite a bit as well, including some rather obscure ones... but still, I can walk into a shop and discover something that's total new to me. Almost like shopping a current gen console and discovering brand new releases.
