    Yea the first season was classic. The rest fell off gradually. It's hard to follow up on how incredible that first season was. It feels like they're trying to milk whatever is left of this series...

    If/when the OLED comes, it will probably be more expensive. So if that's worth it, then wait.

    Similar story. I heard about in 2010ish in my college computer lab from a buddy. I also dismissed it. I figured it's never going to replace our currency. 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'm so glad to see someone else played Rhythm Doctor! It is a deceptively hard game at times. 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

    I think it can if they focus on the women's team, present stories about their specific struggles, and Ted learning to coach a team of women instead of men.

    I don't it will work if they try to do a story with the current men's team too.

    Wow an official end. I liked the last movie and the new crew. I'm glad they're still a part of this. But you can't go on without the originals plus we're in a different time. 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

    This was a strong season and a stronger finale. I read that we're only about halfway, so I'm curious where the story goes from here. 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.

    I did a little more research on my own and it looks like the devs added a cheat code to unlock story mode songs in arcade mode. So I may get this later. I'll leave this on my steam wishlist.

    To backup what others said, SE Asians also wash their rice. It's odd for us to see westerners not do it.

    Paused Kirby to start Pokemon Pokopia

    Man I was sure I wouldn't like this from the trailers. Even after seeing reviews and the screenshot, I wasn't sold. I had my time in Minecraft and loved the base building in Fallout 4, but I don't want to play that kind of thing regularly.

    I decided to give it a shot after seeing a meme of someone dressing up like Team Rocket, visiting other players, and using Voltorb to wreck their builds 🤣.

    I am hooked. The building and using Pokemon abilities to do so is fun. But the quests and challenges really hook me in. (What can I say, I love checklists 😆). Having achievable tasks and being able to cleanup/rebuild cities is super fun for me.

    For once it's nice being part of the zeitgeist. Even with tips online, I unlocked an ability my friend hadn't gotten yet. And he's farther along than me. So it's cool to be able to share that experience. Usually I just play games whenever I get to them. Which is long after people have stopped talking about it.

    Still reading Tower of God before bed. I think I'm about halfway caught up. So still a lot to go through. It's at the point where everyone is super powerful. Finally met the final boss or the big bad as it were. Crazy that power-wise Bam is still far off. And Bam has gotten crazy powerful. I've finally starting to learn what his real power is, so I can see how he'll get stronger. There seems to be plenty of people between Bam and Jahad. Feels like I'm just starting to see the upper scale of power in this series

    Finished Kindergarten 3. I enjoyed this. I really like this series. I thought 2 was better though. I didn't feel the need to collect all the Monstermon cards this time around. I just looked up the secret ending. Game still has that dark humor & storyline that I enjoy. I forgot this is all in the same week. This game was Wednesday and the next is Thursday. I suppose the final one is Friday. I have that to look forward too.

    Started Kirby & the Forgotten Land. I got this because I got one last Nintendo Switch Game Voucher last year before they ended the program. Used it on Pokémon Legends Z-A and this. So far it's fun and chill. Not as high energy and chaotic as DK Banaza, but I'm liking it. Only a few levels in and it doesn't seem too difficult. I imagine I'll be able to 100% fairly easily. I don't mind that. It's Kirby, so the highlight is taking on all the different abilities. The large object transformation is fun too. This is on Switch 2 and the performance is great. Looking forward to the rest of the game

    I knew I saw it in Vegas! Never went on the ride, but I was in town for a cousin's wedding when I was a kid. Wasn't sure if I just made that up or not lol

    I saw it at the Circus Circus in Las Vegas. It is no longer there. The last time I went to that park it was replaced with a SpongeBob motion simulator for which I am pretty sure they had a completely different ride system.
