Got breakfast with my MAGA dad today. We managed to make it through the meal with only one short speech about how major cities are crumbling and dangerous.

I changed the subject as soon as I could.

That's a good part of it. I also find my hands just fit it and rest holding it a little better. Maybe the N64 worked better back when I was smaller, I dunno.

After using both controllers within a couple days of each other, I have to admit I find the Saturn analog controller more comfortable than the N64 one.

Photo of a vintage illustrated book cover, a naked woman mourns her naked boyfriend(?) who is lying on the ground unconscious, presumably dead, as many skeletons loom over him victorious. An award with a review are featured at the top of the cover:

It's 10 PM and I have to be up and out the door around 8/8:30, should I hook up the N64 and play a little or just do it tomorrow?

Hmmm....

I'll mark the occasion by sharing some sweet character concept sketches from its development.
