I have two words for the kids who were raised on that crap:  HELD BACK.  REPEATING THE THIRD GRADE.  LOW STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES.  GUESS THAT WAS MORE THAN TWO WORDS.

Unfortunately my Switch decided to break on me (won’t start any games without an error) right when Animal Crossing came out, and since Nintendo’s repair center is closed indefinitely I’ve been looking for another one. I finally managed to order a black Switch Lite from Best Buy earlier this week (scheduled to arrive…

Was going to play Animal Crossing but my Switch seems to be borked (games fail to start) so that’s going to have to go in for repair.  In the meantime, I’ll probably end up playing Destiny 2, same as usual.

All the story content is still accessible, and should all still be able to be completed (or at least started) at 750.

So where does this one fit?

But enough talk, have at you!

That seems to be just about the norm for new console releases. I seem to recall that Xbox One when it came out had the specs of what would be a budget GPU on PC, and the PS4 was only slightly better.  This happens mostly because they unfortunately have to develop the hardware specs more to meet the price point than to…

Most of the time I don’t have significant issues with load times (playing on PC), although I have noticed that on occasion it can take quite a while to get to the Tower. Matchmaking for raids or stuff like Menagerie and Sundial is also usually pretty quick (don’t play Crucible so I can’t talk much about that.)

I saw the Sonic movie earlier this week, and although it’s not a bad movie by any means, it felt a little too much like a generic superhero movie (which, judging from the references to Flash comics, seems to be something the producers were well aware of.) As a Sonic the Hedgehog movie, it felt like the writers’…

Not sure what they are using here, but a lot of the stuff they use on the channel (like Gravitrax and Hubelino) is stuff you can find on places like Amazon, but it also seems to be pretty uncommon outside of Europe.

Fired this up last night to play a bit (Steam showed my “last played” somewhere around 2016.)  Still feels a little unpolished, but enjoyable.  Mostly I kept just trying different contraptions in the Queen’s Fodder mission to see how much carnage I could get out of the smallest number of parts I could.  

I spent a couple of years working at Groupon, and quite frankly at this point they’re surviving by merit of being the last company standing in the local deals market. Amazon failed at this. LivingSocial failed at this (and got absorbed into Groupon as little more than an alternative to folding.)  A fair number of…

Marbula 1 is just the latest in a long series of marble races and competitions on this particular channel. The Marblelympics (featuiring the same “teams” competing here) have been going on for a number of years now, as have the Sand Marble Rallies (although those have a different set of competitors.) It’s a pretty…

Spent some time earlier this week with access to an arcade that had several Neo Geo MVSs in it and ended up playing a fair bit of Money Puzzle Exchanger, one of the many semi-obscure versus puzzlers on the system. Picked up the Switch port (basically straight-up emulation of the MVS), enjoying it but it’s one of those…

There will be a quiz later.

She must have gotten pretty schist-faced before this happened.

I’m pretty sure almost any used Impreza or WRX of that age has been hooned at some point or another.  My wife’s car is a manual 2008 Impreza (non-WRX) which she got for a steal because the previous owner’s kid (who the car was bought for) managed to get enough tickets in the thing to get his license suspended.  On the…

My parents had a diesel Rabbit (I believe a 78 in black with red interior) when I was born, and for about 5-6 years afterward. Don’t remember anything about a translucent battery, but then again I was still a preschooler at the time,

I’m pretty sure this franchise has been jumping Sharknadoes for at least the past ten years.

Shockingly, there’s still a surprisingly active modding community for the PC version of the game. This video goes into a fair bit of depth on the subject:
