So much applause before the movie even started. That crowd was electric tonight. Loved being able to watch in a room like that.

I saw this after a friend shared it on his feed and had to snag one for my partner!

I know she'll love all the different birds but especially the NFLD Puffins!

Yay for random Bsky finds!

Yeah the sheep in the most recent episode was a bit much.

Sad I couldn't fit "Lucku Lu" & "A Useful Ghost" this year, but now they're on the watchlist for whenever they popup on a streamer later.

Being able to justify the pass this time lets me secure tickets to any of the films I'm curious about without worrying if I can actually make it to all of em.

I blacked out the week in my calendar ahead of time, was already hard enough with the overlapping showtimes trying to choose.

I put together a list of films that I grabbed tickets for, some really cool stuff this year although it didn't look like it at first glance.

First time I've bought a pass instead of tickets for a while.

I went to the film festival last year and saw all three of those and they were worth seeing in a filled theater.

Substance I was front row cause it was sold out and I couldn't have been more happy.

In the maritimes, distance is usually measured in time not kilometers when giving directions.

Thanks for putting your thoughts into an article as well!

Much easier to squeeze in a quick read during my day instead of forgetting to watch later at home after a couple of hours!

Wait until you beat a new layer...
And then the one after that...
And especially the one that comes after...

I picked up an N64 with THPS3 at a yard sale when I was a kid after playing the gamecube version for months at a friends.

It really highlighted the jump in tech, but it was still a great "We have THPS3 at home" kinda time.

Somehow the Bad news got worse.

I didn't transfer my data over cause I'm worried about the 2nd player impact. My GF took over my island (in all but title) by playing as a 2nd profile .

Worried we'd lose all her stuff, so that island is staying put until we know more.

That island is more than a save to us, lots of memories!

Getting the gig was cool enough, but having it launch with their Nintendo coverage is fucking awesome dude.

Grats.

Loved LA at launch despite it's performance woes.

I put about an hour (first dungeon) into EoW near launch and put it down in favour of waiting to play now on the Switch 2 since it was displaying the same performance woes as LA.

It looks and runs fantastic and def the perfered experience.

Hell ya let's get a race in.
June 6, 2025 at 5:47 PM
Well that explains why they were in the Switch 2 Direct.

Excited to see what IO has in store for us!
