The sprinkling of French words in Pokemon Legends Z-A’s dialogue is a nice touch.
Screenshot from Pokemon Legends Z-A of Tarragon saying: “They’re a real porte-bonheur—a lucky charm! All right, see ya, kids.” Screenshot from Pokemon Legends Z-A of a crêpe seller saying: “I'm all out of crêpes for the day, but I've still got good things to share! Here, how about this?” Screenshot from Pokemon Legends Z-A of Taunie saying: “Here, let me show you my favorite food truck. It's called Nouveau Café.” Screenshot from Pokemon Legends Z-A of a Pokemon Center attendant saying: “Bonjour, and welcome to the Pokémon Center! How can we be of service?”

I’ve already received mailers from two different groups this week opposing California’s mid-cycle redistricting effort.

Starting season 2 of Star Trek The Original Series tonight and a large green hand stopping the Enterprise in its tracks is a so-dumb-it's-funny way to start episode 2.

Wilmer Flores fan sign during tonight's Mets/Giants game referencing his walk-up song (the "Friends" theme song) and that he started his career with the Mets.
Screenshot from July 26, 2025 NBC Sports Bay Area broadcast of New York Mets vs. San Francisco Giants baseball game. Two women surrounded by Mets fans hold up a sign that reads "Wilmer - We'll Always Be Friends" with blue and orange dots between the letters in "FRIENDS" (like the TV show) and blue and orange hearts (colors that associated with the Mets).

I’m enjoying the English localization of Umamusume: Pretty Derby so far. For example, this nerdy side conversation between Air Shakur and Agnes Tachyon.
Screenshot from Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Two horse girls wearing school uniforms are sitting at a table talking to each other. Agnes Tachyon remarks to Air Shakur, “Oho… Another day of your obsession with numbers, I see. Ahh, such devotion!” Screenshot from Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Two horse girls wearing school uniforms are sitting at a table talking to each other. Agnes Tachyon tells Air Shakur, “What will happen when your data and numbers prove ineffective? What if the answer lies in spiritualism or even pure fantasy?” Screenshot from Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Two horse girls wearing school uniforms are sitting at a table talking to each other. Agnes Tachyon tells Air Shakur, “No matter how hard you look, the level of knowledge you seek will evade you. Will you still peel back every layer of the onion in hopes of finding it?” Screenshot from Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Two horse girls wearing school uniforms are sitting at a table talking to each other. Air Shakur says to Agnes Tachyon, “…Huh? Onions are root vegetables. Looking for a kernel’d be freakin’ stupid.”

Ooh, the Umamusume mobile game has Game Center achievements!

I’m also interested in checking out Persona 5: The Phantom X.

Chipping away at Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour after getting the console from Best Buy last night.
Screenshot from Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour. There is a button prompt to confirm the appearance of the player character from a diverse lineup of people waiting in line to enter an expo. Screenshot from Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour. A quiz giver standing behind a desk remarks “Masterful! A flawless victory!” after the player successfully completes a quiz in the Nintendo Switch 2 Console Area. Screenshot from Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour. An expo guest standing next to a green-colored LED light on the right Joy-Con 2 controller says “This is the only LED that’s lit up. I can’t help but stare at it.” Screenshot from Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour. An overhead shot of the Joy-Con 2 Grip Area.

The "simulator" game genre might be too saturated if there are at least three different games about managing an internet cafe for the Nintendo Switch...

Scrubbed through Nintendo Japan’s Switch 2 stream to see what games were included there but not in the U.S. stream. Obakeidoro 2 (sequel to 2019 game), Shine Post Be Your Idol! from Konami (looks similar to Idolmaster) and Ys X -Proud Nordics- (enhanced version of Ys X: Nordics).

The Giants and Tigers both wearing dark uniforms for tonight's exhibition game makes it slightly confusing for me to follow.

Watching yesterday's spring training game between A's and Giants. Love this thumbs up expression from A's catcher Jhonny Pereda indicating he's okay after a foul tip hit his facemask.
