Damn it game, if you're going to hand me garbage then at least let me throw it out.
Well hello there, hard-earned, multi-stage research reward Zeraora. How inevitably mediocre are your stats? #PokemonGO
Game: Try using stealth so you can take down enemies quietly withou- Me:
Cute as it is, I have to point out that Chi-Chi calling in Goku for help as her apparent Ultimate in #SparkingZero is incredibly super-duper friggin' illegal in the depicted tournament setting.
Easiest answer ever. The Smash Bros franchise has made some "questionable" roster choices before, but Doomguy being relegated to just a Mii Gunner skin in Ultimate while that annoying little shitstain Sora was simultaneously allowed in as a full-fledged character is its most unforgivable crime.
I also got to have something autographed, and my obvious choice was the first ever Weird Album I actually bought and owned for myself as a kid (as opposed to any my dad already had).
They say to never meet your heroes. I say screw that. Saw @alyankovic.bsky.social in Atlantic City last night, had the VIP package which included a post-show meet-and-greet. As pleasant and good-humored a guy as literally everyone says.
Wait, scratch that. I think maybe something was just physically stuck? I manually moved the little laser lens bit back and forth a few times just to see if anything felt broken, and now it's reading the disc just fine. Sooooo... cool, free working GameCube.
Well, it works... almost. It boots up fine but doesn't want to read any discs. I guess "faulty optical drive" is why it got thrown out. Wonder how much it'd cost to get a replacement to swap in there?
Had to bring something to the local recycling yard today, took a quick peek in the electronics bins on my way out as usual and... I done trash-picked me a GameCube. It's even got a game inside it too.
Me, still capable of absorbing a children's action comic like a normal person:
What kind of complete dipshit packs a bunch of loose soda cans into a single thin-walled box without any sort of padding or containment whatsoever?!
It took a year but someone FINALLY made a simple, upright, no-extra-bullshit charging dock for the Switch 2 Pro Controller! A brand-new item with no reviews yet but I'm tempted to snatch one up just to reward them for finally friggin' making it happen.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY OLD LAPTOP'S WOEFULLY SMALL OS DRIVE WAS IN AN EASILY ACCESSIBLE PCIE SLOT AND I COULD HAVE UPGRADED IT ALL ALONG?!
She has determined that all my shoes are her mortal enemies and must be dealt swift and merciless evisceration. Even when they are currently on my feet.
So hey, uh... Can anyone tell me firsthand how well this runs on a One X?
This is a cat checkpoint; relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone. She has spotted the dog on the stairs across the room and has raised her alertness level to DEFCON 3.
With all due props to @mikemcmahan.bsky.social and his fantastic "Warped" #StarTrek book:
This would have been more fitting as a Discovery title card, but DS9 will do.
