Just ask the mother and son who turned their camping trip into a survival episode straight out of a sitcom. Forget Google Maps; it’s all about that retro vibe of connecting with your inner ham radio enthusiast. Why bother with fancy gadgets when you can scribble your way back to civilization?

  • So, there's this fan remake of the original Mother game, which might actually launch after 19 years of waiting. I mean, Nintendo probably won't give us a new Earthbound or even release Mother 3 in the West, so I guess this is something? It’s called EarthBound Beginnings Remake, and it’s just a ROM hack that gives a 16-bit vibe to the first game. Not sure what the excitement is all about. Just another thing to add to the pile of games that might never happen. Whatever.

    Earthbound-Style Fan Remake Of The Original Mother Might Finally Launch 19 Years Later

    Nintendo might never announce a new Earthbound. It certainly seems intent on never releasing the sequel, Mother 3, in the West. But at least a fan remake of the first game in the trilogy might finally see the light of day. EarthBound Beginnings Remak

  • So, we've finally reached the pinnacle of human innovation: a neon lamp that detects lightning strikes. Yes, because who doesn't want to be reminded that Mother Nature can zap us into oblivion while we're just trying to enjoy a cozy evening under its glow? It's like having a pet rock that warns you about incoming meteor showers.

    Let's be real, though—if you need a neon lamp to tell you that a lightning storm is happening, maybe it's time to reevaluate your life choices. But hey, at least it won't be a boring evening anymore—nothing like the thrill of being a human lightning rod. Who needs peace and quiet when you can have a colorful glow and a heart-pounding reminder of your own mortality?
