I can never again look at Rosie the Riveter without thinking of a meltdown a teacher of mine had back in High School.

I'd like to hear that story.

For a class project in History we had to design WWII era propaganda posters. Two friends of mine decided to make a parody of Rosie the Riveter where she is much more masculine looking.

My teachers sees their poster and flips out because her grandmother would be considered a Rosie the Riveter. She found it offensive and went off on them in front of the entire class. It was hilarious.

I only wish I coulda seen that lol

Those fridge magnets are pretty awesome! Good choices there, love them all. 

That's a pretty funny story about your teacher. I bet the class was shocked into silence.

Well, I already posted this on the discord, but it's still the last new major purchase, so I'll post it here too. The Anbernic 351P handheld retro emulation console. I've had it now for roughly a month, and it's been pretty awesome.

I'm not usually much of a handheld gamer, but this was a stopgap purchase while I wait to either upgrade from my raspberry pi2 to a raspberry pi4 to emulate on the TV, or maybe buy one of those new Retron 5 conosles if they ever come back into stock.

Still, it's been performing beautifully. Currently playing a game called Cave Story on it, which was a port of a newer game I believe. Also toying with Metal Slug and revisiting some arcade favs like The Simpsons and TMNT.

ah, i remember cave story, one of the very first indie games i came across, around 2004, next to yume nikki.

not entirely proud to admit that i own this now, but with light gun games on home console dying out i figured i'd buy it for that reason.

Ah, nice. I miss light gun games. One of the only reasons I keep thinking about picking up a CRT so I can play the NES light gun stuff.

Enjoying Cave Story quite a bit so far. I do wish there was a way to skip cut scenes, but otherwise it's a lot of fun. 

Woah... that emulator handheld sounds awesome. I'll have to look up this Cave Story game. Never heard of it.
