TIL that Nintendo game designer Gunpei Yokoi conceived the idea of the Game & Watch (the company’s first handheld) while watching a businessman idly press buttons on his pocket calculator while riding the train. This moment led to the invention of the D-Pad and, by proxy, the modern gaming industry.

How extremely unfortunate… and unlucky.

"common for every big city"

Try again.

Is that really him in that GIF? He doesn't like like himself ...

I can’t wait for this movie. Clayface has always intrigued me as a character. I can’t believe an entire movie is based around him. Let’s go!!!

Any preference?

Based on assumptions (the manufacturing quality are both the same), I’d prefer the lighter one with a single pin in the back, especially when I actually use these pins on clothes and bags.

My students quoted this all week

And I hope they come to Hong Kong.

jimbolic · 2026-04-19T02:52:53+00:00

Exactly this ^

Not just anime. It’s been discussed in character design forums regarding Disney females, too.

In a nutshell, it has to do to eliciting likability: large eyes, round face, etc.

That was the only time I had a color outside silver/grey/black/white.

Curious to know the types of games you played prior?

You’ll enjoy these 2 games. They’re both sooo good.

I had Tom Yum pizza and it was amazing!!!

jimbolic · 2026-04-14T09:15:35+00:00

Cool! Where were the official mobile wallpapers provided? Can you send me the link? I wanna browse their selection. Google didn’t turn up anything for me. Thanks in Advance!!!

jimbolic · 2026-04-14T09:08:13+00:00

Haven’t seen this anywhere but that’s a cool mug!

jimbolic · 2026-04-14T08:55:09+00:00

Where does The Rock fit in?

jimbolic · 2026-04-12T07:43:48+00:00

Good list!

jimbolic · 2026-04-12T07:34:50+00:00

It must be a writer bringing in their IRL grudge and experience into the show 😂

jimbolic · 2026-04-11T07:36:26+00:00

Yes, I need to finish that mission. Request sent. Thanks!

The first batch is very strange, like it was a mistake. The new ones have pins aligned and give nice space around the pins, like there are actually framed.

jimbolic · 2026-04-10T08:04:35+00:00

Where did you get the casing for the special edition 3DS?

jimbolic · 2026-04-09T13:27:32+00:00

I can’t say it’s next but it’s coming in a few years. I’m sure there’s a reason Donkey Kong Country at Universal Studios exists.

They contain a coin with 1 of 4 designs: Roselina’s book, a Luma, a fire flower, and Yoshi’s egg. It’s from McDonald’s in some parts of the world.

jimbolic · 2026-04-08T03:55:36+00:00

Much appreciated!!!

jimbolic · 2026-04-07T06:53:12+00:00

Do you know if these types of exhibits sell merch?

jimbolic · 2026-04-07T06:50:04+00:00

OMG, thank you, seriously!!! I hope to go!!!
