Downshift

Yeah fuck Twitter.

Not a bad start by Jimmy today all things considered. Showed some good poise after throwing that early pick-6. Hopefully he keeps moving forwards.

"We're the Patriots. You're lucky we don't charge you just to wear that glorious jersey. You'll take whatever we decide to pay you and you'll like it."

I was actually pleasantly surprised at how soon Mario Odyssey dropped down to $47. I think it happened the Spring after the Holiday season when it released, so less than 6 months? Then again, I never did see BotW on sale...

Just waiting to see if Jimmy G will improve under Shanahan. Losing basically an entire year just when starting with a new franchise is going to hinder his development; I only wonder how much. It was good that he got to face his demons by revisiting that spot he blew out his knee at Arrowhead in preseason at least. It will also be interesting to see if the defense steps it up this year. We have too much draft stock invested in our front D line to keep being mediocre.

Yeah, we're definitely due an Earthbound HD Remake.

What is twitter jail? Also, what is twitter?

Skip to :20 and watch it on mute.

Yeah it's probably running a different ROM for each console since they're technically not backwards compatible on the same exact system even though the Switch has the hardware horsepower to handle them. Kinda like how your android phone still needs different emulator apps to run GBA games and N64 games. I'm actually super stoked AF for this. This means I can finally ditch the Virtual Console on the 3DS and the emulated games on my android tablet that I couldn't play any other way like the OG Star Fox (Nintendo couldn't legally re-release it until now due to strange copyright shenanigans). Zelda ALttP Super Metroid Star Fox Super Mario World Mario Kart F-Zero Plus I'm gonna get even more mileage out of my 8BitDo SN30 Pro bluetooth gamepad now. I've already been using it for nearly a year as a Switch Pro Controller, Android controller for emulators, and as a PC controller for Steam games (used it when I recently played Dishonored 2), but it was literally made for these SNES games.

Astral Chain Nintendo Page New Nintendo IP from Platinum Games, the makers of Nier: Automata and Bayonetta. Looks like an anime "near-future" type sci-fi theme. Ghost in the Shell meets Evangelion meets Persona meets Xenoblade or something. E3 Trailer: Premise and gameplay looks cool, but also looks like gets pretty heavy on the shonen anime angle. Pretty good initial reviews. 87 on Metacritic.

Daniel was literally the only name both my parents could agree on, and was like each of their last choices.

NES at my first neighbor friend's house. Kindergarten maybe? Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. Duck Hunt also but the parents wouldn't let me use the light gun since I was only like 5 and I was always trying to take things apart. (friends were a few years older) We didn't have enough money for our own system until 1993 or so and got a Sega Genesis first, with Sonic. We tried it for a bit, didn't like it, took it back and got an SNES with Super Mario All-Stars. Came with Super Mario 2 and Super Mario 3 that I played a ton of. Only other game we actually owned was Super Mario World. Played a bunch of other games that I just borrowed from my friends like F-Zero, Star Fox, Mario Kart, Mortal Kombat, Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Super Metroid.

RIP Netflix

Two episodes in a row anything is binging for me.

Time or sign up for Netflix for 1 month, binge this and then cancel again.
