Kojima's brain scans would've been interesting to see

What's worse is that, a couple of years ago, I found an Engadget article (might have originally been a Joystiq article) that included one of the brain pics from my MTV post. But that one seems to have lost its image, too: https://www.engadget.com/2008-06-13-see-hideo-kojimas-brain.html

I wish we could find out where the ladies-tethered-to-Nintendos came from—Like, were these people actors? Employees? Bizarre.

This piece really struck a chord with me. It reminded me of when I packed my old 3DS for a trip to Dubai a few years back. I’d play it on the plane, that little start-up chime buzzing with nostalgia, and then step into a whole other adventure once I landed.

After arriving, I picked up a rented car here https://trinityrental.com/rent-porsche/cayenne-s and just cruised through the city—Sheikh Zayed Road lit up at night, the Marina sparkling like a save screen come alive. The 3DS in my bag was a piece of my past, while the steering wheel in my hands and the open road were my present. I couldn’t help but drive with a big smile on my face, feeling like both worlds—digital and real—were colliding in the best way possible.

I really like old fotos/footages, they're real time travel.
