Bandcamp is waiving their share of music sales again this Friday, all day long, so get out there and buy something. I've got the new Deerhoof album in my wishlist so it's perfect timing

You're thinking a lot harder about this show's story than I am

Damn, I never knew any of that. Is this breaking news? Since the shutdown of everything I haven't been keeping up with sports news at all...

Got back into Cosmic Star Heroine last night... until I got stuck Gonna figure that out tonight. I also picked up Horizon Chase Turbo on the eShop yesterday, I think I'll have some fun with that.

Yeah, I think the players' motivation is some combination of wanting to win the Cup, they want to play because they love to play the game, or they just have been hockey players so long they don't know what else to do with themselves. Maybe the special playoff format will be fun for them too. But I think most NHL contracts are guaranteed, aren't they? I would have expected quite a few players to be content just riding it out and not playing, but maybe I'm wrong. Guys who are coming up on free agency are probably conflicted; on one hand you want to prove your worth and earn a good contract, but on the other hand you don't want to risk injury/illness and mess up your free agency.

I'm surprised that anybody is on board to be honest. With no fans (I'm assuming the games will be played in empty arenas?), no ticket sales, merch sales, etc then they're not going to make money on this. I'm also skeptical that TV ratings will be good. But who knows. I'll watch a bit if they do go through with it, and I'm sure that most teams can afford to take a hit financially this season, so if they're doing it for the love of the game then that's cool.

Working on some bass lines, so I've been listening/playing quite a lot of Motown (James Jamerson), Cream (Jack Bruce), and a bit of Sabbath too (Geezer)

Gotta get back into Cosmic Star Heroine, I should be able to finish it this week... but anime and music have been taking up all of my free time in the evenings recently I really should play some more tonight though. If I put down a game for a few days and lose momentum then I usually never finish it

I haven't watched the latest episode yet. Maybe tonight. I still can't decide if I like this show or not, but I keep watching anyway. It's one of those.

For a week or so now, I've been watching one or two episodes of City Hunter every night before bed. I've got nothing decent left to read before bed and the library is still closed (until the end of June!). It's an 80's anime, just absolutely screams 80's, and it's a good mixture of dumb and fun and occasionally quite touching. So far (20-ish episodes in) it is mostly episodic, easy to follow along without having to remember much. All of it is on Crunchyroll, well over 100 episodes and a few movies, so City Hunter will be my bedtime story for the foreseeable future I also still need to pick an anime to watch with my kiddo now that we've finished Flying Witch. I wasn't sure if she would find the slice of life style boring, because all of the other cartoons she watches are nothing like that, but she never seemed to lose interest.

A straw has two ends but I'm not sure it has any holes

I'm about half way through Cosmic Star Heroine now. It's not a super long game, which is fine by me. Really enjoying it so far. I might have a go at the super hard difficulty after. Makes me wish I could play Cthulu Saves the World on Switch too. I think I deleted my Steam account and I don't think it's available anywhere else...

Cosmic Star Heroine is on sale on the eShop for $1.89 so I grabbed it and just started on it. Only like 45 minutes in, but I so far so good. I've been wanting to play this game a long time. Originally I would have played it on Vita, but the Vita release took forever... and then last year I sold my Vita. I didn't realize it was ported to Switch shortly after the Vita release At least I get to play it now!

Bass guitar Maybe I'll start on Songbird Symphony today

Some games based on anime are on sale on the eShop now in the "AniMay" sale -- does anybody have an opinion on any of the Dragon Ball games? @Vic Boss Is the One Piece musou game worth it for $12.50 CAD? I don't know nothin' about One Piece, but is it fun anyway? If Tales of Vesperia and Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth were discounted a bit more I'd probably bite on those, but I will hold off for now. There's a good chance I wouldn't actually finish them so I don't want to pay much

I might check that out (someday (when it goes on sale (could be a long time because Nintendo games take forever to get cheap)))

Sounds like my kind of replay value. I don't care much about achievements/trophies, but I do like high score chasing and best time chasing once I'm good at a game, so if I'm into this game on the first play through then I'll probably play it a bunch more times

I don't remember much about the second game, but I played the shit out of OG Tony Hawk. It would be a blast to do it all over again.

If this is basically just the original games w/ updated graphics, I would totally buy this. Don't need to change anything, just fancy up the look a bit. I guess it's a PlayStation exclusive though... or at least a timed exclusive?

I've pretty much just been playing Street Fighter Alpha 2 in the SF 30th Anniversary Collection. Not even playing that much, just a bit here and there. More free time has gone to bass guitar and watching anime.

I've been curious but haven't pulled the trigger on it. Probably will wait for a sale price because I'm always a little suspicious, even if I'm also excited at the same time, when old games get resurrected. How long roughly does one play through of the game take? On par with the original games, or is it longer?

Good stuff, sounds like your plans are really coming together

Are you doing a fly in job, like waaaay out in the bush?

Good grief
