seriously though we were not expecting it to be this *tiny*

it's a pretty capable console for its time which is all the more impressive considering its diminutive size, especially compared to how large its contemporaries were (it came out after the NES/Famicom but before the SNES/SFC and Genesis/Megadrive, i believe, all of which were at least like three times as big as this)

it turns out the NEC pc-engine is tiny??? a copy of spyro the dragon was the closest thing to hand for a scale reference

this is a coregrafx, the second hardware revision of the console, but it's the same physical size as the original

we got an opportunity to get one for real cheap a few weeks ago and it finally arrived from japan (games are region locked but we plan to get a flashcart anyway)

missing out on a thing

feeling a bit bleh because i missed a chance to get a thing i really probably didn't need to get anyway but it was literally just a couple seconds of decision paralysis that meant someone else got it first

just ugh why do i feel so bad over this
-F

@Griff (also i know this is specifically about the epenthetic -p- but i also want to point out that the vowel we pronounce in "sum" and "some" is subtly different

@Griff somewhere between, depending on how quickly or carefully we're speaking
