Anyway, if you have two hours to watch a YouTube video, that's genuinely my pick for Best Picture of 2022.

I guess it would have been better if I'd worded it correctly.

"I actually have the Peace Prize for, uh, Person Who Ended the Most Wars. My mother is very proud of me."
It’s even more embarrassing than I imagined.

I played a couple hours this morning. I'm very happy with what I've seen from this update so far, but I can't say I needed any of it the way that I needed to spend some time away from my island.
I think I'm happier with an excuse to play a game I already own and love than I would be with a sequel.

People complained a lot about all the years without an Animal Crossing update or sequel.
Personally, after playing every day for however long I stuck with it, I was ready to put the game down, and now it's been long enough that I'm excited to play again. It was a perfect break.

Interesting comparison. Harrison Ford played Indiana Jones at ages 39, 42, 47, 66, and 81 (approximately).
Angelina Jolie has to be the most famous Lara Croft, right?
She's only 55. Imagine if she reprised the role now. That's so much more interesting than, "The teal tank top is back!"

DOES Lara run for more than a few seconds at a time?
In my experience, she's more about approaching a ledge one step at a time, awkwardly pivoting until she's mostly facing the right way, hopping back, running a step or two, mistiming the jump, and then plummeting to an undignified death.

To be clear: I love Ecco. I'd love a good Ecco reboot.
I'm just saying I haven't seen any evidence that shows he's the guy to deliver good Ecco.
Maybe we let him take another crack at Three Dirty Dwarves. If he can handle that, he can try another Kolibri, and THEN we'll talk about Ecco.

Whatever happened to that Ecco spiritual successor he promised a few years ago?
If his MobyGames page is accurate, Ed's last game (not including some Special Thanks credits and Ecco re-releases) was Mile High Pinball for NGage in 2005. Before that was Mort the Chicken on PlayStation in 2000.
Cool.

“I got soul but I’m not a soldier” is objectively maybe the worst lyric in any song in history and simultaneously the single best thing anyone has ever written including Shakespeare

I love a clever protest sign. A witty pun, a biting image, or a specific grievance will always win my kudos.
For yesterday's street-corner protest, though, I opted for simple, legible, and eye-catching. Passing drivers knew exactly what we were about, and they were overwhelmingly supportive.
