Alex Fraioli

Hello new followers! Thank you for trying Alex Fraioli in your home or office. About me: - I've been running a retro video game bar in Japan called CRITICAL＊HIT for a decade - I do a fun podcast with @rdbaaa.space called No More Whoppers - I make video essays about RPGs, retro games, and/or sobriety

was nice to revisit the FF OVA since I didn't finish it as a kid. the story was a little meh but I was taken by the art and especially several bits of the soundtrack. In fact I went ahead & plucked the 2 CDs out of a torrent and put on archive archive.org/details/Fina... archive.org/details/Fina...

Now available at drawgamepod.com - @rdbaaa.space and I talk Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals, a four-episode journey packed with glowing butts, prune juice, tickle torture, and backwards messages hidden in the English dub! Listen to this with a liked one if you want them to become a LOVED ONE

Honestly hard to think of a better succession of character names than Steve Buscemi’s run on Miracle Workers.

finally, a product for my hair type

got weirdly emotional bumping into the owner of the mahjong place above the bar who asked "where'd your bar move to!"

I would say "Person A" the way that Mr. Burns says "Simpson, eh?!"

HEY! Brian's new video is hell of neat and you can hear me talk about Final Fantasy MMOs in it!!

Isseki Nagae considers what would happen if all foreign workers left Japan. Among his conclusions: GDP shrinking 10% by the 5th year, stagflation, social security deficits, bankruptcies and a recession-induced crime wave. agora-web.jp/archives/260...

if there's anything i've learned after 15 years in this goddamn city, it's that finding someone who isn't a scumbag or a liar is harder than finding a thimble, a clock, a hula hoop, an hourglass, a picture frame, a duvet cover, a cookie tin, a claw hammer, a basketball, a toothbr

Henry Rollins-ass curry

I hate that game designers feel pressured to make their games “realistic” or “accurate” to some notion that a loud annoying subsection of gamers will whine and complain if they don’t. Realism is a creative dead end.
