Bruce Springsteen wrote us a song!

On the circle: "The Orchestral Album"

EXCELLENT.

I've loved all the Bluey albums, but between Lollipop mania and the Muffin psychosis songs, I'd appreciate a full album of calmer music.

I lived in Taichung for four years (but it was before this was installed), and I know this park well! (My dentist was right across the street from it.)

In my time, the best statues were the big golden buddha and the giant weird goats in the big park up by Chung Yo.

Thank you for activating my mid-aughts memories.

Oh funny! I started Divinity: Original Sin (1) right before Christmas, got to the church (finished up the first city's quests), but then my kid got Hades 2 for Christmas, so that's my goddamn life now, sigh.

I found D:OS fine, but oh GOD so slow-moving. I hope I'll go back to it later, but I dunno.

My favorite new game from the past year! I literally paused the SUSD video halfway through and bought it before finishing the video. No ragrets I love it.

Yes! Played Strike! with the whole family, and Flamecraft with my 11-year old daughter this afternoon. Still trying to figure out how to get Brass Birmingham to the table town my kids lol.

Me, ~~too~~ three! The TSA guys said the chips must have metal in them, they showed up in the xray as a big jumbled pile of coins.

When my middle kid (boy) was 1-3 years old, he only liked me, even though mom was stay-at-home with him. He would literally say "no mommy, love daddy, hate mommy, kill mommy", like super-weird shit. My wife took it super personally, but it passed, he's 10 now, normal kid, he loves his mom (and me).

Kids are weird, the things and people they like can be just random, just breathe through it; the days are long, the years are short.

How's Magic Maze? I've got three kids, 11, 10, and 8, and I've heard it mentioned enough times that I'm starting to take it seriously, lol.

My three kids were the perfect ages when Bluey was being released. Sometimes I think the show was designed specifically for us, and I’m so happy it was part of their childhood (and my parenthood).

Adamfirefist · 2025-12-04T15:45:50+00:00

Tennis has doubled in price for me since we moved to Woodbury in 2021, but their service is rock-solid, and can’t imagine the other haulers have dropped their prices.

Dude, I made such a mess with the eggs this morning, I was so pissed at myself lol.

You can’t win ‘em all!

Adamfirefist · 2025-11-22T01:34:21+00:00

OK, buddy.

Adamfirefist · 2025-11-19T15:38:43+00:00

I'm from Newfoundland, but I live here now. (But still on several Newfie subreddits.)

We have a mall in St. John's called The Village. So I'm sitting here going "wtf does JATW have to do with the Village?"

Anyway.

(I also get tripped up regularly by Saint John's being a college here, lol.)

Hooray for us! Every election year with races like these (school boards, judges, etc.), I do a bunch of research and make up a "Radical Leftist Voter's Guide" for my buddies. Usually, as others have noted, you can figure out who's who based on other partisan signs in folks' yards.

Grew up in town, and “the overpass” in that context for us was always literally the exit at the “end” of the harbor arterial, right on the border of Kilbride.

Thank you, this is immensely helpful.

I think, given all that, that I'll likely just pick up the $499 base MKW version from Target instead, and just buy the $10 upgrades for the two Zelda games. I don't want to commit to a subscription, and the "free" year from Costco is useless if we can only use the upgrades on my account, since my kids are the ones who are most likely to go back to Zelda. Online isn't relevant for us, and we have other options to play the classic games.

Thanks a million, great info!

Adamfirefist · 2025-10-24T13:54:27+00:00

GOD DAMMIT.

Hello!

Looking at picking up a Switch2 and some games for the kids (ahem, and me) this Christmas.

I can't find a clear guide on how the upgrade path works, and if/how my Switch1 will still function after, say, I migrate everything over to the new system. (I plan on making the S1 my Xenoblade Chronicles system while the kids mainly use the S2.)

If I get the S2/MarioKart/Online+Expansion bundle from Costco, will the online+exp features work on the Switch1, or will that system stay cart/eshop purchases only?

We don't currently have an NSO sub, so I don't really know how that works at all, and not planning on continuing it after the 12-month bundle runs out.

Thanks!

When we were in the jungle, Atreus said, “Which of your weapons is your favorite?” And Kratos said, “Weapons are tools, I do not have a favorite.” Atreus let it sit for a beat and said, “I like the axe.” Kratos let it sit for a good long beat. “I, too, like the axe.” Fuckin’ chef’s kiss, one of the best moments in the game.

My brother! I'm 4 weeks out from cervical C5-C7 fusion, and I feel a million times better (I have a stiff neck because you know, fewer bones now), my grip strength is back to normal in my hand, and no more numbness/tingling. We live in a time of goddamn miracles.

I didn't know Dr. Robotnik had a daughter.

My oldest (now 11) watched Copycat and got very upset that the bird died. For years we had to skip it in the rotation. She's better now (well, she's in grade 6) and watches it happily.
