Most underrated gaming device/platform? — Sunplus SPG series, it's a really interesting 2D-focused platform with its own custom architecture but mostly ignored on account of mostly being used for plug n plays https://alterspring.org/@taizou/a/115934706264984747

well it arrived safely in the warehouse after all... phew
the agent's QC actually flagged up one of the items having a small physical blemish on it (I was surprised they even checked that closely tbh) but I can't be fucked with complaining to the seller so I'll just accept it

If you were forced to only play one of the games you've dumped, for the rest of your life what would it be? — IDK Shi Kong Xing Shou and I'd learn Chinese from it with disastrous results probably https://alterspring.org/@taizou/a/115930622503001499

Do you secretly like any of your friend's OCs. — i like all my friends' OCs!!!! they're all cute and/or cool i am making no secret of this https://alterspring.org/@taizou/a/115930615980492607

One thing that's kind of unfortunate tbh is that Chinese business hours align almost perfectly with UK sleeping hours so if they contact me at the start of their work day I can only really reply at the end

The seller messaged me saying their store was temporarily unavailable due to reasons & could I please buy from this other one instead so I had to cancel the original order and get a refund
Apparently refunds were an issue with foreign CCs before but it seems to have been processed so... we go again
