I think about video games a lot. Like, a lot a lot.

Visiting Chicago this week so I stopped into the Field Museum to see the Pokemon Fossil Exhibit. I honestly forgot how many different fossil Pokemon there have been after all these years. Each one had the real fossil that inspired the Pokemon next to it; red displays were real, blue were from Pokemon.

If you're in Chicago I definitely recommend it! But make sure you buy tickets in advance, we got really lucky to grab some of the last timed access tickets for the day right before the museum closed.

Some more photos, plus the terms & conditions of the gift shop voucher (to discourage scalpers you have to actually attend the exhibit to be given access to the gift shop and then you're limited on what you're allowed to get)

One thing I thought was cute was they had Pokemon trainer style artwork of the actual museum curators who contributed to the exhibit

Top: Super Mario 64 is the first game that lists Princess Peach's name as "Peach Toadstool", being known almost exclusively as "Princess Toadstool" in Western material and "Princess Peach" in Japanese material prior to this. (She was referred to as "Princess Peach" in Yoshi's Safari in 1993 in English once before.)

Bottom: in a 2025 interview with Time Extension, Leslie Swan, localization manager on various Nintendo games and voice of Peach in Super Mario 64, revealed that she was the one who suggested this compromise of using both names to Miyamoto herself.

As such, very fittingly, the person who is heard saying "Princess Toadstool, Peach" at the beginning of Super Mario 64 for the first time also happens to be the person who invented the name in the first place.

Xenogears Perfect ART Works v1.7 released! Includes new alternate combat/save-load/party-select beta portraits! This is the first mod version made for Xenogears' *NATIVE* aspect ratio—*not 4:3* (close to 3:2; 3:2 slightly stretches them) Instructions on aspect ratio setup in ZIP. 英語版と日本語版のMODがある。

Been some time since I last posted about it here. Figured I should again since some people are Tumblr-only and would never see it over on Bluesky (/Twitter; one of my only uses of Twt anymore) I'm thinking 1.9 might be the final version of the mod, fully cleaned up and everything.
