A good show rewards you for patience.

A great show can do that, AND make your frustration seem worthwhile on top of everything else that should be satisfactory.

Trying to help protect the earth.

As I was taught by my hippie 4th grade teacher.

The company I order dish and laundry soap from is supposed to be great for the planet. They don't have microplastics , and they seem very concerned with pollution and other ecological concerns.

I ordered something from them well over a week ago. And when I reached out to their website for an estimate or any kind of update, I got an automated reply powered by AI.

"...but I must keep it a secret, or I'll lose my job on security grounds

...

...

Thank you."

You can see a full moon in one of the establishing shots of the house near the beginning. But according to the Internet, the moon on June 9, 1954 (canonical date of the film's events,) the moon should have been Waxing Gibbous.

But it's very hard to fight that, because:

A: My brain is just as smart as, if not smarter than, me

B: I can only prove that it's a lie with evidence, so all it has to do is tell me things I can't find evidence against

Playing generic Pictionary amongst coworkers, we went through like 20 rounds. And I was the ONLY one who drew a thing that NO ONE was able to guess. While I was drawing, someone said "maybe because the drawing is too good?"

•No games happening

•Food I eat includes cookies, cold tater tots, and burger *fixins*

•Sitting by myself 30 feet from everyone else

•One person has talked to me, mainly to find out if I know who else is coming

• extremely uncomfortable couch

•Fat Tire beer (actually okay)

I *hated* Paper Mario: the Thousand Year Door.

I played the first Paper Mario in 2000. I had an N64, and played the hell out of that game (despite not being particularly drawn to RPGs at the time.)

Fast forward to 2008. I got a Wii and LOST MY MIND over Super Paper Mario. Innovative, fun, and used the control system incredibly well. I wish I could be playing it right now, but my Wii is packed away and I don't know if the controllers work. Super Paper Mario is an all-timer, top 20 game of all time for me.

Fast forward to...2022? I get "Paper Mario: The Origami King" for the Switch. It's pretty good. It's fine. And when I look at lists of Paper Mrio game rankings, it's usually middle-to-top.

"But obviously, Thousand Year Door is the BEST," says nearly everyone. It was for GameCube (which I never owned,) but there's a remake for Switch.

So I finally play the remake of TYD for Switch. And...it's bad. It's bad, folks. Bloated with annoying missions that involve backtracking for sometimes 15 minutes, just to end up back where you started. Tedious combat with no sense of fun whatsoever. A bare minimum of the sense of humor that defines the series. And then a final boss that is brutally unforgiving unless you have an optimized setup AND luck on your side.
