Jona37an Link ParentAll three of those were enjoyable watches. Not ground breaking (though Loki S2 was close), but all fun things I was glad I took the time to watch.All three of those were enjoyable watches.

Jona37an LinkI’ve kept up enough with the MCU since Endgame that I’m looking forward to this. It’s overstuffed (as most comic book events are), but the Russo’s always manage to pull it off.I’ve kept up enough with the MCU since Endgame that I’m looking forward to this.

When we sent in the passports, they just sat in the embassy for 2 months, then the embassy was shut down and the staff was swapped out for some kind of scandal. We sent someone to the Embassy in DC, and after 3 days, they were able to recover all the passports. So yay for an actual eVisa!

I’d definitely recommend doing the second one if you can/have time as it picks up basically right where A Psalm for the Wild Built ends.

I don’t know how that would be done, but a recent group from the university I work for was able to swing that and had no issues (unlike a group the year before that wound up going a week late after their passports weren’t mailed back in time).

Comment on What are your predictions and wishes for the upcoming Nintendo Direct? in ~games

My first actual Pokémon game was Violet, which I very much enjoyed, even though I was the right age for Blue and Red in the 90s. I did, however, watch the anime for the first 3-4 years, so that is really what I’m more nostalgic for. ZA felt way more like being in the show than Violet did, mostly because of the real time and positional battling.
IDK, different strokes I guess. I was just really feeling it.

Jona37an LinkSolid predictions up there. I could see Mario Maker 3 being teased, maybe even called Mario Maker 3D with a move to allowing building in the 3rd dimension.

DLC for Mario Kart seems plausible. Maybe for Pokopia, but I’d expect that to be held for a Pokémon event.
Also, you should play ZA! It’s one of my favorite games ever.

So many days of figuring out which 50 songs to shrink into 128kbps so I could get my playlist on there.Man, 256gb is 1000x the capacity of my first mp3 player.

Then it came back up, and the Provost told everyone to go export the grades real quick in case it goes back down. A nice extra stressor with ? additional consequences to add to finals week.

I guess I just meant in the MCU, as I’ve never watched anything else they’ve done except Community.
