Mine is projected to go to $2200/mo, and there don't seem to be any plans on the marketplace less than $1200 for someone like me with a preexisting condition (diabetes) 🫠

I've been told by a younger coworker that it's rude or "passive aggressive" to add a period to text messages.

Better Kirby Air Riders amiibo than Counter-Strike skins 🤣
New: The market for Counter-Strike skins fell $1.75 billion overnight -- that's 25%.
Investors dumped money into the digital item market amid concerns about the S&P 500 and crypto. Then, last night, Valve pushed a market-breaking update to the game

Reminds me of my Pocketstation manual… don't choke yourself with the lanyard while walking through a doorway, don't swing it around like a flail, and don't walk into traffic while playing 😵

Cheesemonger here 👋 Can we do the same for "Yellow Cheddars"? They are clearly ORANGE!

How does it feel versus the original with Wiiimote and Nunchuk? I heard Switch 2 pointer controls are a bit more responsive and accurate than Switch 1…

And DKC1 and 2 are definitely my go-to happy games for a quick burst of pure joy and nostalgia. (3 requires a little more commitment but is also nice to revisit from time-to-time.)

I also find most games of the 16-bit era to be just the right length and don't overstay their welcome, including RPG's - FF4, FF6 and Chrono Trigger can all be beaten in under 30 hours and feel like a complete experience, versus today's 100+ hour epics that turn into a grind past the 70 hour mark 🫠

I'm tempted, but decided instead to resume my playthrough of War of the Lions on PSP instead 🤡 I've replayed the PS1 original more times than I can count, but fell off WotL for some reason. The improvement patch for modded PSPs works wonders with it!

Great article. A lot of Square's games around this time suffered similar issues (Disc 2 of Xenogears, FF8's lategame, FF9 only letting you battle through one of the four fiends dungeons, etc) But despite their flaws. I absolutely ADORE Square's bizarre, experimental output during the PS1 era.
