Taking a look at one of my favorite DS platformers. Trying to get back into doing some written content again. I love Yoshi's Island and this is one I revisit pretty regularly.

Yoshi’s Island DS Review
If there’s one thing that Nintendo has always done really well it’s the platformer. From the early days of Donkey Kong in the arcade to Super Mario Bros. on the NES and Super Mario Wonder on …

The first day back at school for the year. Taking four classes and at the end of the semester I'll be starting my junior year. Three history classes and a science class this semester.

Mega Man IV has been completed and I started Mega Man V right after. That game is so insanely easy compared to the rest of the series and the drop rate for 1-ups is ridiculous.
My ranking of the games I've finished so far would be:
MM 9
MM 2
MM 10
MM 3
MM 4
MM 1

I want to see sports games go back to art styles like this and focus less on the hyper-realistic look.

Not gonna lie, as a person who's old enough to have owned a 2600 when it was newish I would love to have this. The $435 price tag says, no thank you.

I put about 5-6 hours into God of War Ragnarok this weekend and I have to say I'm really loving it so far. Visually gorgeous. Kratos is still a, no pun intended, god-tier character. The puzzles are interesting. The combat is really solid. Didn't like GoW 2018, but love this.

I don't know if this is a hot take or not, but I think the GBA versions of most of the Mario games are the best way to play them, especially SMB3 and Yoshi's Island. SMB1 may be the exception where the NES is the best version.

Well, my plan to play Final Fantasy Tactics Advance somehow turned into me playing Chrono Trigger DS. Not sure how that happened.

Walked out last night to get something out of my car and was greeted by this little guy. I didn't have my glasses on at first so wasn't 100% sure what it was as its stripes don't go down its back. Stayed out and watched him explore the yard for a few minutes.

I think Windows Phone UI may have been the best in the business. It was perfectly minimalistic while still giving you plenty of customization options. This is using Launcher 10 on my phone. It's not perfect if you use a foldable, but I've always loved this design.

I've taken tons of typing tests to see how fast I type (which is around 95 wpm), but I've never done it to see how fast I read. Now I know.

I think at this point the only thing I'm missing, aside from re-releases and bundles, are the two DS games and I'll have the full series physically. #AssassinsCreed

You know a historical video on YouTube is accurate when the subject is a Civil War battle in Arkansas and they show WWII-era artillery. Pretty sure the Confederate army didn't have Pak 38s.
It also mentions Jeff Davis' home state as Missouri, which is wildly inaccurate.

Case 3 has been finished in Ace Attorney. Will Powers vindicated. I'm really loving this game. It forces you to really pay attention to everything going on in the story, even if like many similar games you have to jump to some utterly silly conclusions to push the story forward

After fiddling with a config file to map a couple buttons on the controller the Pi64 is up and running. It plays very nicely. Pi5 with 4GB of RAM overclocked just slightly and N64 games run brilliantly on it. I'll try to get some video of it running tomorrow.

"But how many people bought the game?"🙄
It doesn't matter. There are three million people playing the newest game in one of the biggest shooter franchises in history. Congrats to Bethesda, id, and Microsoft for another excellent entry into the franchise. I'll be playing soon.

The controller for my project came in so I can get to work on this. Going to possibly leave this as a dedicated N64. It can sit on the shelf next to the NES.
