So far, traveling with a 7 month old is mostly pros: people let you skip lines, everyone coos at her, viewing everything through her eyes, to name a few.
And one con: you can’t listen to the audio guide in every room of a museum because Sofia likes to keep things moving
Life is good🥰

Reviewed Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, a game I liked a lot more than Age of Calamity, and not just because it looks and plays a lot better thanks to the Switch 2.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment offers myriad improvements across the board mechanically and visually, but my favorite element is that it treats Tears of the Kingdom’s story with respect.

Lumines Arise is my first Lumines game so I'm still pretty terrible at it but man, if it isn't a treat to play. It's become my nightly ritual.

Lumines Arise is the kind of game that I won’t delete from my hard drive because I will always want the option to lose myself to the game periodically, which Arise is consistently excellent at.

I revealed this during the GI Show this week and @itsvanaken.games and I had a hard time explaining Yung Gravy’s vibe to @marcusstewart7.bsky.social, who had never heard of him. The closest Alex got is “he’s a rapper who likes older women”
Why am I just now learning Golem in Dispatch is voiced by Yung Gravy lol
