Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

It's called the Nintendo 64 because it sounds lucky in Japanese

pedant: it does not. Although it would typically be read 'roku-jyuu-yon' (though some people here call it the 'roku-yon' instead), 'shi' is another possible reading of 4 which is associated with death.

No, I get the whole thing. I just wanted to save someone reading that and actually thinking it was true in Japanese or having to go search.
