Donkey Kong Bananza gets better and better the further you go along.
If you find the first couple levels underwhelming, keep at it.
After all, the audience is all ages. They ramp things up slow because kids will be playing.

Fun joining the Mario kart world room with the @dannydinosauryt.bsky.social livestream.
Here he is talking about the importance of community and, as he's reflecting, I rudely sneak past him & nab first place in knockout tour.
Check out his stream sometime. He also made BoTW vids back in the day.

My wife told someone to "Hit the R2" button in Mario Kart.
Painful.
It's ZR. And, in this house, we can tolerate "RT" (right trigger) but L2? Just another reminder of her decadent PlayStation past.

At a Preaching conference.
There is a 21 year old pastor here.
He was very offensive to me.
He told me the year he was born.
It was the year Finding Nemo, Return of the King, and Pirates of the Caribbean came out in theaters.
The linear passage of time is a conspiracy against me, personally.

I got Yakuza 0 director's cut for switch 2.
I have only played Yakuza on Xbox.
...the face button differences don't usually throw me but I just got the WORST score on the Karoake mini game.

I mow my lawn. It's not long. But some beds of flowers have weeds and are overgrown.
It's not that I don't care.
It's that I value reading a book and taking my daughter to the park on a day off more than doing those chores.
And I value paying for her daycare more than paying someone to do yard work.

I for one like Nintendo switch 2 has friends only twitch streaming style party chat.
The world would be better if people watched streamers less and played with their friends more.

I find professors who say "We study fascism, and we're leaving the US" contemptible.
You truly believe the US is heading to a very bad place. Let's grant that. So you ... go to Canada to a cushy tenure track job?

The specs for the switch 2 released and people are upset with how many of the resources are reserved for the OS, with speculation that it's for the new "Gamechat" feature.

This is not why anyone cares about this game, but Doom the Dark Ages has the best large text and easy-to-magnify features of any recent game I've played.
Some of us don't sit at a desk 12 inches from a monitor.
I sit all the way across the living room.
It's helpful!

Whenever Sci-fi bashes its head against the reality matter & energy are not all there are, stories have a character talk about how there must be something beyond the measurements of science or the dogmas of religion & it's always just... Ecstatic union with the living God to which the dogmas refer.

There is some quote from an Anglican source saying something like "Parishes who have languished under poor preaching, have often been sustained by the ministry of their lectors" but OFC I can't find it.
Anyone know that source?

Being extremely boomer & letting people know they don't want to be YouTubers or streamers.
They want money + friends interested in hearing them talk about their hobbies.
Once upon a time "Let's plays" were "Let's play video games at my house." And we did. Together.
Player + chat... were one.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a good video game.
Something about turn-based RPGs: I seem to play the more from my bedroom (cloud streaming on TV) than in the living room (actual Xbox Series X).
Same thing happened with last Persona games I played on Gamepass.
