like, I guess
Loved it as a teenager, but hasnt aged well imo. Partly because the band feels more cringe to me now than when I was 12, I guess. Ive seen them live a few times and enjoyed it every time, ands I enjoy when a song from the album plays on a playlist, but I dont love it like I used to.

Duckbear was always great and the only people who hated him are grumpy olds. The bit itself wasnt necessarily great, but the whole shtick surrounding the bit was super funny. Maybe a top 5 poster. Definitely top 10.

i dont even care if he secretly kept folders on all of us. That always sounded fake anyway.

Okay I was at a work-ish event and these two fellas were there, both in matching blue sweater vests and matching ties. Brown pants. Both had the same kind of glasses. One had facial hair, the other did not. Like not just coordinated, matching. Like 6 year old twins.

They were twins.

I wasnt the only one wondering, either. Had 3 other people come and ask if I knew them, and whether they were brothers or lovers.

It was good, but the ending was hella rushed. Even as far back as the cluster, there never seemed to be any satisfaction in the payoff for beating the baddie. They built up The Cluster for like twenty episodes and then resolved it in one, and the resolution was Steven touched it and felt bad for it. Thats not a bad way to solve the problem, especially considering the themes they were going for, but it just seemed so quick after all that build.

Loved the townsfolk episodes.

Connie was done dirty. She was the best character and they pushed her into C-list status by the end.

The movie sucked so much that I never ended up watching Future.

For me, December is for Tokyo.

I wouldnt want to go to Nashville or Seattle (or anywhere else in the US, for that matter).

Mexico would be cool though.
My SO suggested an international trip, but 1) I wanted to try and invite some friends to hang out with us and domestic is way easier for that (we could maybe swing Mexico) and 2) were already planning two international trips for 26, I was trying to save some money.

Mexico is pretty awesome, but kind of expensive (more thinking hotel and flights, once there everything is pretty cheap). Wasn't impressed by Seattle to be honest, never been to Nashville.

Miami is usually my go to for winter vacations.
What part of Mexico? We were looking into Mexico City and the sights seem reasonable. Maybe a beach resort town would be more expressive though.
Going to Miami for a few days in February! Trying to make a day trip to Tampa as well but dont know how realistic that is. Never been to Florida so thatll be fun.

Would it make some things easier, sure.
But think of all the science it would make harder. Right now the metric system being a game of tens is really good and easy. Imagine having to change everything to 12mm = 1cm 120cm = 1m. Or wed have to make a new unit entirely.

plus the gargantuan effort it would take to change street signs, laws, signs, textbooks, ..

staying in ten is fine

Pretty much this. I buy 2 big games a year and they last me a really long time. Bought TotK on release day & Im still playing it. Odyssey probably took me 8 months to finish. Nintendo makes amazing games. $40 a year for months of entertainment and replay value is a nonissue.

Also its a total luxury item. No one needs a S2, so Im not upset about prices getting bigger. Its not like basic food goods or rent or water or clothing. Obvs Nintendo thinks itll work out and if it doesnt, theyll market correct.

It'll only become standard if people accept it. Honestly, I rarely buy games new and for full price. I might just have to give up consoles all together. $80 seems ridiculous, especially coming from Nintendo, who's perpetually behind these days in terms of tech. Plus, their games no longer get permanent discounts and they don't even do a few greatest hits titles anymore, for games that are older and have already sold a ton. It will suck, but I can cut Nintendo out of my life. Honestly, I was already getting annoyed at switch game prices, so this isn't that hard of a decision. Maybe I'll look into the used market down the road, or emulation if that's shit too.

I really hope Nintendo fails here and has to adjust, but I doubt they will. Too many people these can't not have the new thing. They consistently make decisions that will affect them negatively down the road with no care in the world. I don't even mind the prices going up some, but the jump seems crazy to me. First they make TotK $70 and says it's a higher price for their top tier games, then they don't use it on anything. Then Switch 2 comes along and they blow right past $70 to $80 and we're just supposed to be happy about it because there's a new system.

People have all the power here and will just give it up freely to have the new shiny thing and a good portion will whine about the prices they're actively propping up and supporting.
Eh.
Ill pay $80 because I only buy 2 or 3 big games a year and they last me forever. Plus theres older games Ive never played that I can get at a discount. I also get a lot of entertainment out of smaller games, and GamePass is huge for me.
Tears of the Kingdom took me a year to finish, and I was only scratching the surface. I started playing that new Indiana Jones game when it launched last year and I still havent beat it. Still playing and enjoying it, and Ill probably try to get all the achievements when I finish. It was free with Game Pass but Id happily pay $80 for a game of that quality and length.

$80 for Mario Kart, a new Mario, Zelda, Pokmon, Metroid or Animal Crossing is a no-brainer. Add in things Ive been wanting to play like FF7 Remake? Thats like the whole life of the system right there.

i think most people who play video games (ie those not complaining on the internet) do so very casually, and will happily pay a higher price for a game that will last them several months. Especially with the added convenience of the Switchs portability.
