Mario Kart World - 16th Mario Kart
Mario Party Jamboree - 19th Mario Party

 

Disney being the entity sued for once!

Disappointed that the article shows no images though!

In their show "Win or Lose" Disney had team t-shirts for a fictional team, theeeen proceeded to produce and sell merch based on that:

And since the Pickles are a REAL team with their own merch... Yeah.

Working on it!

I started making my own several years ago but got sidelined by health issues and haven't gone back to it. :(

My end goal is I have a lot of comic books. I want a voice assistant that can query a database and then turn on smart lights to show box locations.

I got the database done, I got the queries working, then had a heart attack and never got the voice input or smart light output working. :(

Gravesites. There will be no room to bury Gen X and down.

The last line absolutely nails it:

"The best way to undermine Hamas’s position is to instead flood Gaza with food, and to alleviate the suffering of its people."

So why doesn't Israel do it? If that would undermine Hamas' position, why is Israel maintaining the supply blockade they started back in the 90s?

Why is Israel intent on shooting people lining up for aid, including children, if that just re-enforces the negative opinion Hamas wants everyone to have about Israel?

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/israeli-strikes-kill-at-least-20-and-wound-hundreds-in-gaza-health-officials-say

That's not Hamas doing that, it's Israel doing that.

Israel's typical over-reaction to October 7th is what Hamas wanted, and Israel played into it. They chose to commit genocide, murder tens of thousands of innocent people, and used snipers to shoot children in the head and heart.

"The doctor went on to claim that Israeli snipers are deliberately shooting children in Gaza, citing his observation of two children who were shot twice. "No child gets shot twice by mistake," he said."

That's not Hamas. That's a deliberate choice made by Israel. They could stop today. They will not, but they absolutely could.

Not quite that bad in the US.

Mario Kart World - $80
Mario Party Jamboree - $80
Donkey Kong Bananza - $70

But seriously, are they significantly different from all the 15 other Mario Kart or 18 other Mario Party games?

I do not understand Nintendo fans...

Rehashes of the same Nintendo games that have been done for years + ports of games that have been available on other consoles for years.

6 million sold...

I mean, I guess if you never had a machine capable of playing Cyberpunk 2077 or Street Fighter 6 before? 🤔 But one is 5 years old and the other is 2 years old?

Hard to read an article that is paywalled.

Because firing the guy reporting the numbers will miraculously reverse the bad numbers. LOL.

They did include it, it's just below the image:

 

Nordstrom's. It's Nordstrom's.

 

They're polar opposites.

 

First, let me say, I'm an absolute sucker for European style graphic novels. So when I caught On Mars_ at my local shop, I thumbed through it... Yeah, I'm in.

Dystopian future, criminals are used as slave labor to build a colony on Mars. The story follows a new prisoner, sent to Mars for 20 years. As a police officer, she accidentally killed a kid, the daughter of an influential politician.

The prison colony is full of gangs, religious fanatics, and escapees operating in the wild.

Through the three sections, she encounters these multiple groups and struggles to survive. Until someone decides to overthrow the power structure and take over everything for themselves.

It's honestly, a GREAT read, I had no problem with it at all until the last few pages.

spoilerThe religious fanatics attempt a coup and part of this involves bringing in a ship and drones controlled by them.

The protagonist of the story fights them to a standstill, finds a hacker character to take over control of the new drones, and... then he has the new drones kill everyone. THE END!

There's maybe 3, 4 more pages after that and I kept reading hoping for a fakeout... there isn't one. Our dude was damaged enough to off himself and everyone else on Mars.

HUGE downer of an ending, not sure what they're going for there. It's not like Snowpiercer where you know the downer ending is coming, it just comes out of left field. "And then they all died!"

Hard to go wrong with anything on the Eisner lists...

 

Senator John Kennedy froze and then properly zoned out—forcing Fox to cut the interview short.

 

At a minimum, we should make it illegal for landlords to block tenants from having AC installed.

If we aren't going to require it, at least force them to allow it. Too many rentals have a "no window units" clause, that needs to go.

We recently upgraded our house to central air, something went wrong this week and while it was 96° outside it was 89° inside.

I had to go sit in the car AC at 1 AM because the heat was making me sick. AC should be perma-fixed tomorrow.

 

Remember when I said calling them "weaklings" was bound to backfire? Yeah...
