There's this Dutch TV show that only runs 2x 7 days a year, where they make Weird Al parody songs of news items.
Every week they also host a celebrity guest who does a parody of their own song.
Now I didn't know this week's guest, SERA, but man I'm in love.
What a beaming smile she has!

A neat detail about MP4's opening is that Samus' scan visor keeps returning "Statue of unknown lifeform made out of unknown substance"...
And the second she gets psychic powers the visor is like "This is a statue of John Alienguy III, head priest of the So-and-so, made of Unobtainium."

It's very surreal to be holding a fictional book in my allegedly real hands.
I try not to buy much merch if I can help it, but this is just super neat. I've always liked this art, and Rosalina is my favorite Mario character too.

I saw someone who had turned the Swerve Star into the Millenium Puzzle, so I decided to make this instead.
I think it turned out pretty well, but I wouldn't hold it against you if you scored it just 6,5/10.

Tomorrow is the Big Move.
11 boxes, plus a whole bunch of bags. It'll be a thing.
Going from a 34m2 studio rental to a 65m2 apartment I by some miracle now...own?
Wait, that doesn't sound right; surely one doesn't OWN the place they eat, sleep, and play videogames?
In this economy?!

I was never that hyped for the first Mario movie, but I enjoyed it fine.
This one though, I'm actually quite excited!
Elements from Sunshine, Galaxy, Odyssey, and Wonder could be very neat.
Plus, Best Girl Rosalina being badass as she damn well should.

Forgive me, Miyamoto, for I have sinned...
It looks like I'll be getting my first Playstation console soon.
I needed an ISP for the new home, and it turns out a provider who was already on my shortlist is offering a free PS5 with a two-year contract.
Couldn't let that slide!

I really like how Hades handles the story-telling, and it's something I think more games should emulate.
That said, it's becoming very clear in the post-game that the characters are playing catch-up.
Hecate just commented on something I unlocked literally 15 hours ago.

Just rolled credits on Hades 2.
I'm also currently re-reading Stephen Fry's Mythos series.
I think I like Hades so much because it's basically Mythos: The Game (or Mythos is Hades: The Novel).
The Gods presented not as myth but as people, a family, and a very dysfunctional one at that.

I don't mean to brag or anything,* but Hades 2 just gave me severe handicap because I'm just too dang good at the game.

About two weeks ago I bought an apartment, my first own home.
On Monday the mortgage got approved, so now it's just waiting for the key!
To celebrate, I did get the Mario Galaxy bundle (again).
Now I can beat Galaxy 1 in my rental, and have 2 be the first game I play in the new place!

Just got back from four hours teaching GDPR for non-lawyers.
Tough crowd, too.
Dunno if it was the group (lot of Dutch students; rarely a good sign) or if they just deeply don't care about law and I wasn't able to light that fire.
Oh well, there's always next year.

Just finished Silksong, true ending.
I still feel the same as with the original. Being stingy with maps and forcing you to get back to where you died runs completely counter to the Metroidvania genre.
If I fail at a boss, I want to go the OTHER way to find health upgrades or somesuch.

I'm trying to binge all of Severance in a 1-week free trial, because lord knows Apple TV has nothing else of value.

I was never that big on Hollow Knight, so I wasn't planning to jump on the hype train.

Almost finished with Nine Sols, just the final boss left to go.
I'm never that big on the lore in these kinds of games, and this one in particular tries way too hard to be grimdark.
But the blend of fantasy and sci-fi is cool, the gameplay is great and the boss design is immaculate.
