Wii sports and wii fit sold a lot of units. My mom bought a wii fit to use with my Wii and she never games. Like ever. She was one of those moms that called other game systems “Nintendo”.

Don’t. Civilization kinda fucked the planet and is the reason you live in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

I love both, and used to consider myself a major film buff. Now I have a young daughter and the only time I can watch what I want is usually when she’s asleep. So now it’s mostly tv shows, but I do still try to go see movies or watch movies at home from time to time. The kid is also getting old enough to start watching movies (sort of anyways) so I do enjoy showing her movies that were a big part of my own childhood.

In no particular order:

THPS

Super Smash Bros.

Goldeneye

Worms

Lemmings

FIFA World Cup’98

Pokémon red/blue

My dad once told me that if my relationship with god was good, my grades would take care of themselves. I know what he meant was, “if you do the things god wants you to do, you’ll also be doing well in school”, but it’s still horrible advice.

More recently, my mother-in-law has been saying to my wife that she wishes that my wife could have faith in god’s plan because it just helps her in own life so much. I always roll my eyes at this. If there is a god, and he has a plan, his plan sucks ass and he plays favorites for sure.

If I do a Google search and a Reddit thread comes up with relevant info or discussion, I’ll check it out but I have completely stopped browsing and interacting with it.

Buy off all the politicians and have them implement policies that will benefit the working class. Invest heavily in renewable energy sources and public transportation. Buy all the comic books.

Still playing TOTK. Still have plenty to do.

It varies from state to state. Many red states have restricted it or banned it completely while blue states have either left it alone or taken action to enshrine it as a right in their constitutions. The real worry comes if Republicans take the trifecta of federal government at any point they could conceivably ban it outright nationwide, but they would get destroyed in the next election if they do so. Their actions thus far have energized young voters and made some longtime Republican voters question their allegiance to the party. It has definitely hurt them in some elections already. The election in ‘22 was supposed to be a “red wave” but they only barely took the House as opposed to the large gains in both houses they were expecting.
