Remember folks... "A library is a nice place to learn stuff!" 📚 - Girl outside of Onett Public Library

A screenshot from Earthbound. Ness talks to a girl near some trees just outside of the Onett Public Library. A dialogue box reads "A library is a nice place to learn stuff".

Yeah, I basically just got my Everdrive inserted just right and don't touch the thing. Haha. Waiting on one of those console mods that replace the connector with a different design.

Hey, hi! “Fight, Magic, Items” is an expansive and personal look at the history of Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and the rise of Japanese RPGs in the west. Extensive interviews, lots of history, and a bit of memoir, too.

Hey, new followers! I'm Jess and I'm a professor who studies the politics of games and pop culture. My current research examines depictions of gender and sexuality in old game ads. I also stream retro games every Wednesday night and co-host Quest Quest: The Adventure Game Podcast. Links below. 👇

Success! Replacement 72-pin connector didn’t work (shouldn’t have bought a random one off Amazon…), but boiling the OEM connector and vigorously clean the contacts on the board did the trick. Will write about my experience in the next Astrolabe!
