I forget what we played back then haha. It wasn't Runling Run or Special Forces, right? It was a standard game mode?

It's still fun but the controls and the camera are a bit hard to get used to on a Switch Pro Controller. Going for full completion!

Still feel absolutely no need to spend that money to upgrade from a Switch to Switch 2. My friends and family are all perfectly content with the Switch, including Mario Party, Mario Golf, and Mario Kart online modes. Plus they just put DK64 in the "expansion" subscription which is awesome and will keep me entertained for a while haha.

@Grindspine , @SpartanEvolved and I started playing Warhammer 40,000: Darktide recently. It's pretty fun but the leveling system seems a bit challenging.

Some of this makes me nervous, like the UK's new under-16 social media ban. I believe they will abuse the age verification system to link names to social media accounts which will make it easier for the UK government to arrest adults for social media posts, something they are frequently doing already.

I'm hoping that wouldn't happen in the US because of free speech and all that, but it still makes me nervous.

I saw it, it was really really good. There are a couple of emotional scenes in it. I'm not 100% sure about the ending, though. I think it could have been better and I'm guessing there were some alternate endings that were options at some point.

It's a shame what Disney has turned new Star Wars shows/movies into. The Acolyte was crap from the very first scene. Obi-Wan and Boba Fett could have been SO much better. All we wanted was a Boba Fett murder show. I think Kathy Kennedy is responsible for a lot of the decline.

Ahsoka season 1 was pretty good and Mando season 1 and 2 were great, but I didn't love season 3. I've heard the new movie is essentially a Mando season 4 with no huge implications in the overarching Star Wars universe. It surprises me because I expected better out of Filoni and Favreau.

In my opinion, I think Disney has been on the fence for years as to how they retcon the sequel trilogy. Most people, including me, aren't really happy with how those went overall. To me, they are leaving just enough vagueness in everything that happens in the shows and movies in the timeline between ROTJ and TFA that I believe it's intentionally leaving doors open for a new sequel series. I believe this is why they are pursuing the Thrawn storyline, because they can build off of it.

I'm spoiled since I read most of the now "Legends" books that took place after ROTJ and many of those stories were so much better than what Disney has come up with.

I use it mainly as a Google replacement. It's faster and better at searching than Google is and the results are clearer. Sometimes it helps me find events that are going on in a city over a weekend or something.

My wife uses ChatGPT a lot for taking pictures of our house and it sends back some redesign ideas. Costing me money with the ChatGPT subscription and the redesigns haha.

I think I like Grok the best when it comes to asking questions and finding things, but it's always overloaded and wants you to buy the premium access.
