I love video games! I also like traditional Japan. I especially like video games based on traditional Japanese folklore.

I had a strange dream last night in which I was watching a weird crime series reunion TV movie involving a crime solving duo with a will-they-or-won't-they relationship, this then morphed into a weird reunion TV movie based on a 1950s/1960s western series (Maverick was mentioned), which then turned into an even weirder straight-to-video film based around 2000s series Naruto, in which some bad shinobi were killing many baby chickens, and attacked good shinobi Naruto by shaving his head.

I had a weird dream last night in which the political correctness gestapo decided that the word 'win' was offensive and couldn't be used.

I predict that on 13 May 1981 a foreign film will probably be shown on Australian broadcaster SBS, Pepsi will continue to be popular, and there will be a rerun of "I Love Lucy" on a bunch of U.S. TV stations.

I had a strange dream last night in which I was working for a demon radio station, which only demons could hear along with select non-demons who have demon friends. There was also a demon TV station, and there was a demon streaming service that among other things featured a 1930s demon cinema newsreel. There were also demon video games, one of which involved destroying bicycles.

I also remember that in the dream, the power company shut down the demon radio station for using too much electricity. Another, non-demon part of the dream involved me still living in Warranwood (where I lived in the late-1990s/early-2000s) and some men were tearing down a neighbour's house using mostly their own strength, and there was then a rain storm, and I looked up an anthology TV series which aired on British broadcaster ITV during the 1950s but it turned out to be lost, though one of the episodes was adapted as a 60 minute theatrical film which still existed.

Additional predictions for the rest of 2024: a well known public broadcaster somewhere in the world will begin to shut down (though I'm not sure which one), more EVs will catch fire, there will be a huge pollution and/or child labour scandal involving one of those trendy companies that young adults love, and skeuomorphism will begin to make a comeback.

I see you listened to Randy Newman. I've been meaning to listen to him. I do like a couple of songs by him, but never scrobbled. Which is his best album to start off?

To be honest I've only scrobbled his soundtracks to Disney films. I'll get around to his other tracks at some point.

My predictions for 2024: Australian TV channels TVSN, Aurora and Sky Weather will shut down, a major international streaming service will shut down, a major social media website will shut down, Elon Musk will be involved in another huge scandal, Vulcan Centaur will suffer a launch failure, a major media company will declare bankruptcy, and a major car brand will be announced to be shutting down.

My next profile picture will probably be back to Kid Gohan though, although I'm tempted to have a non-saiyan profile picture such such as Dragon Ball era Yamcha or maybe something from another franchise altogether such as InuYasha or Yu-Gi-Oh.

Interesting... Personally I'm trying to keep my loved tracks to a minimum, I want it to only be a few songs that I have hearted but I find it difficult to single out those tracks. Probably just because you listen to way more music though.

Still recovering from the flu, I have a very sore throat and I am having trouble with my ears. On a different note, I had another strange dream last night. In the dream there was a new TV channel launched in the early 2020s, which only lasted a few months, but for some reason Wikipedia listed it as being still on the air. Later the number of TV channels where I live went into steep decline, and I was trying to archive a TV guide website via the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. Then there were some swordsmen who worked as tree removalists, and they were in the suburbs cutting down a tree, which they then mulched and burned. Then there was this really huge fluffy animal we had a pet, seriously it was as big as a small car. Later in the dream I was watching the final season of TV series Reboot.

Ugh! Last night I dreamed I had two bouts of diarrhoea, the first one the result of poisoning caused by a floor cleaner containing questionable nature-derived ingredients. Strangely enough, when I woke up I didn't need to go to the toilet or anything like that, so I don't know why I dreamed about diarrhoea.

Unfortunately I've had a very bad case of the flu the last few days, though I'm starting to recover. I caught it from my parents, with my parents having largely recovered by now (I was worried my mother would have to go to hospital, but she's fine now). Once I recover from the flu I'm planning to go for various walks photographing my neighbourhood.

I feel so guilty collecting saturn games. I Just spent about $58 on a copy of Duke Nukem. Already bought tomb raider for $35 this week too. Nights into dreams with the 3d Controller is next on my list and That’s probably $100 combined. I need to chill out. Would you even pay this much for these games?

There are several games in my collection I paid a fair amount for, though not many. Several of these are games for a rare console called Hanimex HMG-2650, which was one of those Hong Kong made consoles marketed by several different companies under a variety of model names (including Emerson in the United States and Bandai in Japan). I don't know why, but for some reason PAL releases are very hard to find for it (I had to import them from Italy and Germany). Generally speaking though, I usually collect for a system before the prices go up (if you know of any discontinued consoles that are still affordable to collect for, please let me know!).

Old Atari games aren’t that expensive but I really don’t know much else that’s very affordable. Even NES games have gotten real expensive over the past few years.

How expensive are Game Boy/Game Boy Color games? I'd like to acquire some more, particularly some third party/licenced releases that have very little chance of being reissued, but I'm worried they've become expensive like everything else.

I don’t know. I don’t collect for GBC or GB but they aren’t that expensive I think unless it’s Pokémon games. I only collect for Saturn but I’m thinking about branching out to N64 and GameCube soon, maybe next year.

Yep, I currently have one set up and I also have a Sega Dreamcast and Sega SC-3000H set up. Additionally, I have a Sega Mega Drive II and Sega Master System II in storage. Unfortunately, I am unable to play these consoles as I'm working on several projects (long story, don't ask) and my bedroom is too cluttered to use them (I'm slowly working on finishing these projects so I can play them again).

I'm surprised to find out these games had become expensive, when I bought them they were relatively cheap, but that was back in the 2000s/early 2010s.

Hell, I bought a Dreamcast lot with load of accessories including like 3 regular controllers, fishing rod and 3 memory cards and it was all like $58 back in like 2015. The Saturn I bought a few weeks ago with one controller was $125. A friend I know who owns a Dreamcast had told me once that I got an amazingly great deal on the Dreamcast. She collects for it, I don’t. I never cared much for mine.

I had a bizarre dream last night: in the early part of the dream it was the early 2000s and I was working at Network Ten alongside my teachers and principal, however comments they made deeply upset me so I quit, but they were grabbing onto me, refusing to let me go. Eventually I got free, and ran through a sidewalk next to shops, the sidewalk getting darker and darker and more and more crowded. I eventually I got to a road in a forest, occasionally crawling on the ground but worried that a car might not see me, so I got up. I then came across some women's magazines from the 1980s/1990s being given away for free outside a shop, which I took so I could scan them, and I then acquired an Edwardian steamroller, which I had a lot of fun with. Later in the dream I was making a film set in the final years of the old west, probably in Arizona or somewhere like that, and run over a kitchen sink with another Edwardian steamroller, and I also ran over a top hat and a fake clock.

Sometimes I get lucky and remember a lot of a dream, though usually I don't. Of last night's dream, I remember that in one segment I was at some kind of internet café and went on Wikipedia's disambiguation page for the word Wisk, and on the page there was a photograph of a nice apartment building being torn down (actually, in real life Wikipedia doesn't have have an disambiguation page for the word). Also in the dream there was a 1940s Australian magazine called Wisk (actually, in real life there was never such a magazine, though the magazine as shown in the dream has a lot in common with real life 1940s Australian magazines such as Woman's Mirror, Women's Weekly and New Idea. The latter two are still around, but New Idea is awful these days, a shame as it was fabulous in the 1970s). In another part of the dream I was floating through various suburbs completely naked.

I like his music, unfortunately a lot of his tracks aren't on Spotify (starting from April 2022, when I got a new computer, all of my scrobbles have been from Spotify, which is a problem as a lot of music I like isn't on there, including Koji Kondo, Helen Clark (a 1910s Edison singer), 1970s game show themes, most 1960s Australian rock and pop singers & groups, the Pokémon soundtracks, Wendy Carlos, etc).

That's a shame. Imagine us Tidal users, whose library is a bit more reduced. I used to download tunes from the 1880s-1920s on my PC from emule back when I was a kid, and have quite a playlist on my PC. Sadly those scrobbles can't be tracked :(

Forgive me for having listened to too much music today, but I spent the day uploading files to the Internet Archive, and today the website's upload speed was very slow (or else my internet connection is bad today), so I listened to music to keep me occupied while the uploads were going on. I did, however, manage to listen to tracks from the 1880s, 1890s, 1900s, 1910s, 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s. For those who are curious, the oldest track is The Fifth Regiment March by Issler's Orchestra, recorded in March 1889 as a wax cylinder, and amazingly enough it appears on Spotify.

It's been a while since I posted a dream post on here, but last night's was a strange one: in one part of the dream, there was a family travelling by motor home on Christmas day, who were accompanied by an extraterrestrial and his son. Unfortunately, the motor home was in an accident, and they all died. However, most of the family were in denial about their deaths, refusing to believe they had died, the exceptions being their youngest son as well as the extraterrestrial and his son, all three of which were fine with ascending to the afterlife. As I said, a very strange dream.
