With all these mystery box posts, we need a haven for all the “Awaiting Shipment” homies.

I’m a patient man, but every NPD mystery box post I see makes me twitch just a little. There’s plenty of us out there still waiting, right?

Postcards that no longer exist

What postcards do you have that either no longer appear in the game, or are of places that no longer exist?

This Bart Simpson mural is long gone, and I can’t find any more copies of its postcard.

This church had a complete remodel/renaming years before Pikmin Bloom even existed. It’s bright green and way more cheerful looking now.

I can’t find this nudist colony postcard any more, and I’m pretty sure the resort itself isn’t there any more, possibly for years.

Mills Music hasn’t existed since 2014. Source: I ran their flagship store for years after they were acquired by Music & Arts.

Seattle was incredible.

I go to a lot of shows, and I haven’t been to a show like that in years. Probably my fifth time seeing them, and they’ve never diminished in energy. Thank you, HORSE.

I found video game references in my video game.

How many video game related postcards have you come across?

Walked right past it in the record store until my girlfriend pulled me back over to it.

Decades after accidentally destroying my cassette copy with spilled Kool Aid, I finally have a pristine vinyl copy.

Speech recognition is incapable of correctly hearing certain Japanese numbers.

No matter how I pronounce them, the numbers Four (yon) and Six (roku) seem to be impossible for speech recognition to recognize as correct. I’ve missed a few perfect streaks because of this, and it’s making the entire gamification element of Duolingo seem extremely pointless. Has anyone figured out how to get these correct, and if not, are there any other similar programs out there that don’t have these kinds of problems?
