The manual for Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman shows an extremely low level of effort regarding Wario illustrations. Despite Bomberman receiving various different drawings, only one artwork of Wario is used, which is repeated 19 times without any alterations.

Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright certainly has plenty of flaws but a lot of the writing is still incredibility charming and on point. I'll always love the line, “Upper-crust goods for not much dough!”

Hey - I am working on a DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution video but it will not be done in the time I wanted it to be done in. I have been having annoying back issues that have gotten in the way. This is also a PSA to make sure you stay mobile, fit, stretched and much more as you get up there in age!

As you read the news today, watch who phrases the news as an "illegal invasion and regime change" versus "bringing democracy". It'll tell you everything you need to know about the news source you're reading, and frankly should decide whether you ever read them seriously again.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

A "Everyone to the Stadium!" event will start on Dec 24 at 3 am UTC to replace the cancelled holiday event.
The rewards are the same (including the Santa hat), and the game will award you more points per match to compensate for your points being reset to 0.
