Suika Game The same great game for Switch, now available on mobile. Combine like fruit to evolve them into larger ones- keep going until you get watermelons. There are physics-based elements and if you overflow the play area, you lose.

Drunk cycling is a large part of why I quit booze six years ago.

I’m the same age as Taylor and I see at least one of my peers attending her concerts every week on social media. Her reach right now is insane.

I actually really liked Last Jedi on its own and consider it in the top half of my ranking of the franchise. I think Luke’s characterization could’ve been handled better (and the whole Canto Bight subplot could’ve been cut wholesale) but looking at myself at 23 (how old Luke was in RotJ) and my experiences since, I found the lapse of judgement and faded optimism quite relatable. Adam Driver is one of my favorite actors and his portrayal of an abusive yet charismatic antagonist turned love interest was spot-on. There’s also the comparisons you could make between the First Order and the rise of fascism in America today. That one’s a bit of a stretch but it’s important to recognize World War II’s influence on the original trilogy and the Iraq War’s on the prequels.

That said, Rise of Skywalker is not only the worst Star Wars film- I consider it the worst film I’ve ever watched. It’s not a poorly-made film, the cinematography is great, but the plot is nonsensical. It redacts everything they set up in the Last Jedi, retroactively making that one worse than it is standalone. What seals it though is this will always be the ending of the saga- they can’t go back and fix it. I’ve probably seen worse movies, but the disappointment will never reach the level that this one gives me.

I heard people really enjoyed One Piece Odyssey last year. Never seen the series myself.

Oh man, you just reminded me of when I was the only staff member left on my high school newspaper- all the seniors graduated so I had to write the entire issue by myself for the last month of the year. I’d do dumb shit like this all the time XD

I’ve been looking forward to Persona 3 Reload on PS5 so I blocked off the whole weekend to play it.

Netflix has it through February 2025. Same with Better Call Saul, though that was weirder because it was on AMC+ while the final season aired but each episode only stayed up for about 4-5 weeks. Not sure of the rights on El Camino but that’s a Netflix original.

It must be a fairly recent phenomenon then. I was there in 2022 and it was quite sad to see the amount of people left homeless around the city.

Curious since I’m not familiar, how do the awnings prevent this? I went to SF a few years ago and there was a giant pile of human shit every 4 blocks so I’m not too surprised.

Also, notable that the songwriter/singer has been out as bi since the early 90’s

The bots were always there, the bot-to-human ratio is just much higher now

Thank you for clarifying- still want to get back in for some Splatoon 1 before the end

Hell yeah, I’m at 5 and a half myself. Really helps me keep my priorities straight.

My thoughts on this as a depressed person; 3am is the only time no one can expect anything from someone else and thus one is truly free. I’ve been keeping up with my treatment plan and getting to bed at a reasonable hour but still recognize the reasons people stay up late.

Feel that- source: I’m a Like A Dragon fan.

But another reason I tend to binge each game is lack of storage space and rising file sizes. Don’t want to download 100 GB again so better finish it immediately.

I got to the part where he asked for building plans- seemed like donations would be the next part of the quest but my Game Pass sub ran out 😅

As someone who was let down by Jirard’s choice to double down and threaten his accusers, I actually don’t think he needs to be removed. If anything, the fact that his role in the game is to take donations becomes more of a snarky meta commentary. I get that Sabotage studio is probably really hurt by this given their close relationship with IndieLand, and they have every right to do whatever they want with their art, but experiencing the irony here should be preserved and available to the public.

I’m a dude, he’s a dude, she’s a dude, 'cause we’re all dudes, hey!

Something I’m starting to realize too. Just because I start a game doesn’t mean I need to play it to the credits as soon as possible. I’m the only one fixated on my trophy list or hours played.
