I always think it sounds like a jaunty ode to the original Mission Impossible theme.
Also, this just showed up! I ordered it months ago before all the US import shenanigans and genuinely wasn't sure if it would make it. Super pumped to dive into it tomorrow.

Totally get it, just wanted to share that I love these and am shocked they weren't already sold.

Wait, are you a swag archaeologist? Can you tell me what year and rarity tier this is?

I'm glad this post is getting attention, but I'm bummed that it doesn't include the name of the publication that ran this opinion, the New York Fucking Times. This is a RECURRING SECTION in what was once considered the gold standard in journalism.

I mean... what's your definition of "in production?"
The game came out in 2012 but had a trailer in 2007 ( www.tigsource.com/2007/10/10/f... ), and that was after Shawn McGrath, designer of the original mechanic ( web.archive.org/web/20140103... ) had left the team and Renaud Bédard had joined.

Yooooo! Are these gonna go up on the store? I've still got some room in my tiki shrines and would love to put that mug in a place of honor.

Yeah! I was worried it wouldn't work on things other than humans, but it's pretty good when there's a clear break between foreground & background.
It get's a little fuzzy with the clouds here, but they're clouds, so...

Wait, we can upload our own GIFs now? I can finally show off the different ways I optimize in #Kaizen? Behold @coincidence.games, the cheapest sandwich I could construct!

So fancy with your "per button 3-mode switches". Us PC plebs only had one switch for all buttons to go into turbo mode. We did however get a threaded knob to turn our game pads into miniature joysticks...

Very cool! I've done stacking for star trails before, this was out in Joshua Tree a few years ago (using StarStaX & Canon RP w/ 20mm f/1.8). A proper telescope and tracker seems like fun, but I'm afraid of the investment. Is there more in your hardware setup than that?

I also love when super iconic original architecture becomes something else, but you can still see remnants of it.

This is a GUI wrapper that improves ease of use for multiple converters (by using libraries in the exact way that they're licensed and meant to be used). If you'd rather use the command line interfaces for each of them individually, this is not a product for you, but it's not doing anything wrong.

The first I remember is this tree from King's Quest 4, having such a foreboding presence. I remember peaking one screen over to see an obviously haunted house and immediately noping out. But this guardian instilled that terror.

Really excited to put this together. Might make a stop motion of the assembly.

Absolutely! If you would have told me (a coastal dwelling, non sport fanatic) that this was a current or classic Royals hat, I would have responded "Duh. What else would it be?"

Any mutuals in town this weekend for San Diego Comic-Con? I live here and am heading downtown this afternoon. Hit me up if you wanna grab a drink or are looking for food/bar recommendations.

That's so cool! Apple made a whole macOS version named after an island not far from me (Catalina), but the key art was unrecognizable and never triggered that reaction. This makes me wish they had included shots of the iconic bay/casino, but that doesn't match their whole "California nature" vibe.

I know you mean shoes, but my American brain can't stop imagining that you're talking about a couple of large fellas to help you with your workout plan.

Can't stop thinking about how massive the #NoKings march in San Diego was yesterday. The streets were closed from Waterfront Park to Seaport Village, in a loop that included both Harbor Drive and PCH. This is a full 1.5mi, completely populated by peaceful protestors. (h/t @abc10news.bsky.social)

San Diego Police Department posted on the other site about how chill the #NoKings march was. Zero arrests, zero reports of property damage or injuries.

There’s still hope for folks that have been stuck in the “Preparing To Ship” stage for their Switch 2. UPS says my standard shipped Mario Kart Bundle will be here tomorrow, despite Nintendo not having updated the status that it left their warehouse.
