Comment on Do you prefer to 100% games, or to move on to new experiences? in ~games

That would be another 150 hours lol. You can move the Pokémon and rebuild the forests. It would just take a long time. Bulbasaur can help move that along. As far as regrowing plants and trees.
I didn't have the ambitions to tear it all down. I wanted to restore what was there. While making some improvements. I tried not to build homes that weren't "natural" to that area. The beach was the easiest to do for me in terms of direction. Planning wise it seemed clear where and what to build.
I'm cleaning up the ash as a mindless activity for when I'm doing something else like watching a show or listening to an audibook. I need to clean up the higher are of Wasteland. I also need to rebuild and connect the other islands in Skylands.
Edit: I liked your pun btw 😆

Like in the Arkhan games, I did all the story missions and side quests including Riddler Trophies. But I didn't do all the equipment upgrades or the training challenges or achievements.
I'm too frugal and minimalist to just buy a bunch of games and never or barely play them. That's regardless of price. I generally only buy games I'm confident I'll see through. I've mostly been right about what I enjoy and will want to beat. I also don't play a lot of games and take my time playing them.
I'm mostly a Nintendo and PC player. I did get a PS4 for the Spider-man game. I love Spider-Man and that is the only game I've truly 100%. DLC, trophies, and all. Aside from that though, I'm playing Pokémon Pokopia and Kirby & the Forgotten Land on Switch 2.

I appreciated that the MC had that anime type of obsession over Hina doll crafting. And that skill set and passion carried over into costuming and crafting. It was that passion and his open-mindedness that Kitagawa fell in love with. I thought that was really cool. Their interactions and feelings felt relatively natural for teenagers and maybe specifically to Japanese teens, but I don't have experience in the latter.
I read that the last part of the story could be compressed into a movie. But no confirmation on that or a final season yet. I'm hoping we get an announcement this year

It was like chess. They both made smart moves, but weren't over the top geniuses.
I also have an appreciation for concise, well told stories. The first half builds the world and story well. Then the second half goes right into the rising action. The ending is beautiful and earned.
This is another that randomly came up as a short on social media, so I'm glad my algorithm brought this to my attention lol

Which is why more than a few have been spun off into their own shows.
Also The Roots are an incredible band and Fallon put them more in the limelight. Questlove and Black Thought are skilled and talented, but undoubtedly reached more people because Fallon put them on his shows. He seems to have a real interest in music which is a plus in my book.
I don't really follow Fallon, but from little I've seen of him on SNL, the late night shows, and various informal interviews... he does genuinely laugh a lot. It's probably played up a bit for the show, but not completely disingenuous.
I get that people are off put by him, but i feel like people are especially harsh towards him.
Yea he doesn't get political and he's an okay comedian at best. But he does try to make his guests feel welcome. As far as I can tell he's always been respectful and nice to guests. He doesn't try to mock or attack guests. There's plenty of examples of funny/good late night hosts who have made some guests feel unwelcome, to say the least.
I get that he's a target because of his platform, but there's far worse people that deserve negative attention.

Also some of the time signature transitions took practice to get a hang of.

I was right, but someone bought a car with it several years later and the value continued to rise. It is what it is. I'm just going to keep a more open mind now when I hear about new things

Oh man, you're way better than me! There were a few levels where I had to surrender. I knew I could beat it with enough time, but idk how happy i would fact been afterwards 🤣. I did recalibrate a few times as I got more adjusted to the game.

I have a musical background and this game really tests your ability to keep tempo internally. It's been a long time since I could be called a musician, so I was happy to beat this. There were a few levels I dropped the difficulty on. I loved what they did on screen though. A lot of it was very unique

So I don't think this format would be successful without the OGs.
I honestly wasn't expecting another one, but I'll definitely go see this
P.S. It looks like they're including Bam's unused footage from the last film. So that will be cool to see

If I didn't know better, I would think the next season is the last.
Like most I didn't expect how it ended, but it makes a lot of sense. It's a true comprise. Neither side likes this, but it's the most peaceful for now. Obviously there's other threads to wrap up. But if we still have 3-4 seasons, then I wonder if we'll get a time jump.
Either way, this was almost as good as the season 1 finale. I feel like a lot of the buildup came to fruition this season.
Just get an attachment. Hardware stores got them for relatively cheap! Show the toilet paper industry that they don't control you!
