View of the park full of tents and people in the grass field from my balcony. Cars fill the park’s parking lot.
I, a mid-40s white dude, am reclined on a black chair next to the “power reds” machine. I’m wearing a blood pressure cuff on my left arm and you can see tape that is holding the needle in place just off the side of the photo.
A framed poster, drawn by Derek Yu for the Video Game History Foundation, that says “Play forever”. Above the words are two characters from UFO 50: a person in a red bodysuit with a round head, bulbous nose, and white skin named Pilot; and a similar shaped person with red pants and a dark gray hoodie named Isabell. They sit next to each other with controllers in hand playing a game on the fictional computer that the UFO 50 games were developed and played on. They sit in a solid light blue area.
An art piece called “lost”. A black silhouette of something vaguely humanoid shaped seemingly falling horizontally with a blur through a white space with blurring lines around the shape. Below the piece, text says: lost december 2013 you've curated yourself into another dimension

The right zine is yellow in color, covers Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, and shows the main character of the game, Benjamin, composed of basic 3D blocks and holding up a sword in his right hand that shines on the blade. Benjamin has brown hair and a blue armored body.

A scenic view overlooking a peninsula jutting out into the sea covered in green fields and trees and an isolated building at the tip of the land.

A guy is yelling into a woman’s ear in a club the following while she has a disgusted look on her face: A woman approached me in the produce section while I was shopping and minding my business, asking me to do her a favor because I’m tall I said, “No, get someone who works here”. She got assistance & when I tell you she would have wanted me to walk to the other side of the section to gather something off the top shelf for her. That is highly offensive to me yada yada yada
