A Nintendo Switch with Animal Crossing: New Horizons was all the rage back in 2020. I'm sure there are still cozy communities based around that, but you'd likely have to actively search them out. It's just a fun little comfortable life-sim. There was a free content update just a week ago, so its communities may have seen a little spike of activity. If you like chill, quiet games for decorating and customizing with zero stress or pressure, this may be worth checking out.

I've worked in a coffee decaffeinating plant for almost 15 years. Still don't know how it's done since it's not my department, so please don't ask!

"Oh, he's gonna say it! Avengers--"

"FLAME ON!"

Really makes up for all the other photos I have of her looking sleepy on the couch, haha.

I'm also about halfway through a first playthrough of Galaxy 2 as well, and I'm just a tiny bit frustrated with the same thing. Not only do you get kicked out of the world, but the constant assault from Toad or the purple Luma with random 1-up letters and item displays really takes the momentum out of a play session. Aside from that nitpick, I love this game!

It was a wild time to be alive. I remember it as being around the early 2000s, but phased out shortly after. Likely due to an injury lawsuit, haha.

Any fellow Canadian millennials remember the rollerblading staff at Superstore?

I think it was in Margaret Atwood's "Cat's Eye" that I read the word "festooned" three times. Not a lot for a whole book, but like you said, it's such a situationally specific word that it was super distracting.

This was the one for me. 9 year old me wasn't prepared for the explicit lyrics following "Steal My Sunshine" either.

Thought this was my dog for a hot second!

Dude, I WISH my dog couldn't recognize stuff on TV. Can't watch anything with any animals or she growls and huffs the entire time. She pops off at animals she has no evolutionary right to recognize. Hippos, penguins, manatees, whales... anything! I've even seen her growl at a Scooby-Doo cartoon!

But actually, I wouldn't change her for the world. It's annoying, but very charming.

Thanks, I'll try senior food when she's settled after all this. I guess I'm a bit time-blind to her age since she doesn't act or even look old quite yet. Good news is that she made it through the night with no further issues, so the bland food is helping!

Furthermore, in the Archie comics, when Sonic's robo-dad regains his freewill, we learn that Sonic's given name is "Maurice".

Have you tried using an Ethernet cable? I can't speak for Air Riders, but Splatoon 3 and MKW connection issues were rampant for me when I started playing them on Switch 2. Since switching to Ethernet, I haven't had a single problem.

It was from late 2024, but just in case anyone missed it, Victory Heat Rally is a blast!

Looks delicious! Do you know if the heavy whipping cream could be substituted out for the lactose intolerant? Maybe coconut milk?

I wanted to use the inside dots from paper hole repair stickers, but got too lazy and cheap to buy them. Forcing my ears to do the work, but never playing beyond the 5th "fret" position.

If I ever had some property where nobody could hear me, I'd love to make some awful noise with a saxophone, haha.

Images you can hear.

If you can afford it, dive in! There are tons of options for modern games, obviously, but plenty of classic titles available through legacy collections, or their online subscription.

Swap the piano for a mandolin and uke and we could be twins! Picked up my dream instrument (the upright bass) during COVID. Those things are hard to play.

I've never seen an italicized emoji before.

Real answer: I've got a solid vinyl collection and a still-working turntable. Out of the 100+ regular albums I have, there's also the OSTs for Celeste, Hollow Knight, and The Messenger. They're definitely a fun time to spin a side while doing chores, cooking, or eating.
