Wii U. The gamepad as a second screen was really cool. I liked it for maps and inventory

City Town DLC for Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

Gotta hold off on new games (Tomodachi and Pragmata on standby) until a few more paychecks hit since I had to be a responsible adult and pay for car work today
(Though Pragmata is capcom so probably hold until it’s on sale in a few months)

I named my shiny toedscool appropriately.

To top things off once we were clear one of the workers passed out (apparently pre existing medical condition) and they had to call an ambulance. I just paid for my car and noped out of there (and passed the ambulance going the other way on my way back). No more weird stuff tonight

Luckily sirens are off and storms have passed. Looks like the worst was just south of here where they sighted the tornado. That area is mostly farmland but some small towns so hopefully everyone is good

We’re getting stir crazy. They’re playing charades in here

I’m hanging out in the locker room with the whole crew. There was a funnel sighted south of us

Oh shit we’re under a tornado warning now lol this is the worst place for it

Getting a shiny toedscool in Pokemon Go while sitting at the car shop (in a severe thunderstorm, don’t like being in a glass wind tunnel for this) takes the tiniest sting out of how much money I’m dropping on my dumb car today

I tried playing it on PS4 and couldn’t get into it. Maybe it got better later on but I found it really generic from what I played

Sableye is still in so that’s all I need

Bluesky broke today because they couldn’t handle that it’s Pompompurin’s birthday today

Or both at the same time!

Wait go back to showing off the dog

Ah yeah then, Dungeon Crawler Carl is pretty popular with Gen Z right now. My niece bullied me into reading it lol

Yeah that's where I'm judging Fourth Wing (and the court of roses thorns whatever) being at, I see it in the pitifully tiny section of books at walmart and I'm like ah this must be popular then. They don't risk putting unheard of things out

Arguably I think everything falls under D&D at some point including anime
It's really incredible how much of an impact it has had on humanity

Yeah that wouldn't surprise me. I think they're all really scared of getting Game of Thrones'd (which could easily be solved by hiring appropriate showrunners that don't hate the genre)

Book people popular. Very popular with booktok
Not sure how well received they are mainstream (they are sold at most major retailers so they have some mainstream power) but Fourth Wing sold pretty well afaik

I was going to say the Dungeon Crawler Carl books are starting to gain popularity but those also fall under the D&D category (and are also more sci-fi than fantasy). They’re making a TV show of it, that will probably test the waters at least

Hit or miss on quality. Some of the books are absolute garbage and some are good if you don’t mind the romance tropes. I liked Fourth Wing despite being aroace and not being into any of the kissy romance stuff lol (I keep falling for pretty looking books)

Baulders Gate falls under the D&D category. A lot falls under that category, either direct works or inspired by.

I feel like the Game of Thrones disaster burned a lot of people on western fantasy works

They got girder one of four lifted up and in place. They briefly let some traffic go under it (while it was still on the crane) and I was like that doesn’t seem safe and someone agreed with me bc they closed it right after that lol

The girders are enormous. I have questions about how they handle turns
(I actually saw a large truck like this hauling a girder on a cloverleaf exit and they had to stop traffic for him because he could only go like 5mph)

Me watching the bridge crew do girder placement tonight

With the majority of the people saying something is trash not even having played the game to see for themselves. It's amazing how evergreen this image is

It makes so much sense now why we’re getting a simultaneous release this time. Godzilla World Tour 🥹

Literally fueling me until November

Please. Save us Godzilla

I really hope they added drainage holes though. That was the number one complaint but I can’t see anything about it in the description of the new ones (and I’m fine with the OGs so I won’t be rebuying to find out ). Hard to keep a succulent alive if you’re drowning it
