Can Let's Plays be considered art? :-)

There's a song my mom used to listen to all the time growing up. My misremembered lyrics goes 🎶Who Ate My Sandwich🎶
I know it's not correct, but I can't for the life of me remember what the actual lyrics are.
This keeps me up on nights like tonight

Pirates kept cats on their ships to eat any rats on board. Meaning there were definitely times the captain tried drawing a map but their cat was sleeping on the parchment

Thank you so much for your awesomeness! I'm a G8R of my word, I'll get a tattoo soon.
Also you'll get to vote for an upcoming Let's Play soon, so keep an eye out for that ^^

I doubt the guest will ever see this. But hoping she's living her best life (and sorry Fantasmic got canceled because of the rain)

L8RG8R2U @l8rg8r2u.bsky.social · 4d

Then I realize:
She called me sir when my nametag said Megan. So she likely thought I was trans.

Seeing the effort to correct herself really shows that she'd be willing to do that for someone who actually was trans.
It was very heartwarming to see, especially in this day and age

L8RG8R2U @l8rg8r2u.bsky.social · 4d

She comes back a second later and starts apologizing about something I don't fully hear because it's loud in this cart. I simply reassure her that she's okay and it's my pleasure to help her.
She smiles and walks away while I'm confused on why she's apologizing

L8RG8R2U @l8rg8r2u.bsky.social · 4d

Back to Fantasmic, this super sweet lady comes up to our snack cart and is very polite during the entire conversation. As she leaves, she says "thank you sir and ma'am!", thanking myself and the lady I'm working with before walking away

For this next part to make sense, I have to explain my gender identity.
I'm gender nonconforming, which is like a halfway point between cis and trans. I identity as the gender I was assigned at birth, but I've also always felt more feminine.
Tbh I might be trans. Honestly still figuring things out

L8RG8R2U @l8rg8r2u.bsky.social · 4d

A new favorite guest interaction happened last night while working at Fantasmic.

So I've been picking up shifts there for awhile. And whenever I forget my non Galaxy's Edge nametag (which happens a lot admittedly), I like to borrow one with a girl name just for fun

L8RG8R2U @l8rg8r2u.bsky.social · 4d

I don't plan to get Galaxy 1 anytime soon though since I already have 3D All-Stars. Plus replaying it twice in a row for the Let's Play's bonus video... yeah, I'm okay not looking at that game for awhile

L8RG8R2U @l8rg8r2u.bsky.social · 4d

Got Super Mario Galaxy 2 on my Switch 2.
Wasn't sure if I felt it was worth $40 since I still have my Wii version. But I figured "Eh, I got Skyward Sword HD for $60 at launch. Not really a big deal."
I still think it's a bit higher than it should be. But hey, Galaxy 2 is freakin' awesome

L8RG8R2U @l8rg8r2u.bsky.social · 4d

One of my favorite running jokes with friends is that at the end of a nice message, I'll say "or else" at the end.

"Have a good night! Or else!"
"Have fun at work tomorrow. Or else!"

I feel like an Animal Crossing villager when this happens
:-D

This isn't gonna be good. Buuuuut...
It's kinda neat that the pickaxes make a Roman numeral II on the poster
:-D

Hope you like BOTW, cuz we've got some BOTW goodness coming this weekend!
And if you don't like BOTW, uh... LOOK SOMETHING SHINY!

I think I've got enough work done on LP50 to start locking in on a release date. The big thing to focus on now is the announcement video, which will definitely take awhile to finish

Three years ago today, we finished our Splatoon 2 Let's Play.
This remains my personal favorite of the ones we've done so far, although Link's Awakening and Animal Crossing are pretty close too
