I mostly play Ranked Mode in ARMS, and almost exclusively with a single character: Min Min. On top of that, I almost always use left-arm-ramram, right-arm-dragon. I am consistently amazed by how much depth I can get out of that single narrow part of the experience. Subtle changes in timing, a different angle of the…

Well, I suppose it will have to be The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, won’t it? Quite a pleasant surprise!

Outside of a few very liberal cities, where in the United States is minimum wage equivalent to a decent wage?

Perpetually awed and slightly envious of your ability to produce so much good writing... I published an essay about Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire... two years ago and have been feeling too swamped by work and distracted by my various screens to get started on something new. Bleh.

We’re thankful for you too, Matt!

Favourite MXC moment (technically, I suppose, my favourite Takeshi’s Castle moment):

Does Fire Emblem Warriors have local co-op? I realize I could probably find this out for myself, and yet... here I am, asking you!

Super Mario Odyssey.

Sure can!

It really was a terrific ending: a really good fight, followed by (STOP READING IF YOU HAVEN’T DONE THIS YET) a totally-obvious-in-retrospect-but-still-wonderful post-fight escape sequence where you get to use the capture power on Bowser and go wrecking shit, and then some terrific cutscenes.

Super Mario Odyssey. Obviously. I’m closing in on 400 moons (or maybe a bit past...?) and having a blast. Getting very close to whatever the next discovery is!

If you’ve ever read a single thing I’ve posted, you already know that I’m going to play Super Mario Odyssey all weekend and then all next week and then forever.

My brain is fried from proofreading students’ drafts all day, so I don’t have anything to say. Yet, it seems like I should comment!

Starred out of respect for the commitment to super contrarian positions!

No indications to date, unless you count the hopes that radiate from my own heart as indications!

It’s definitely super catchy. I think if it just had no words I’d really like it. But the very few words there are are so aggressively stupid!

Closing my eyes a moment and imagining the song, I can hear that you are clearly correct!
