As an update to my A/C cost question from last week, the cost was 125 Mario Kart Worlds. Living in the Houston area, you can't go without air conditioning.

I just had a crazy/amazing dream where I was at a gathering of Jewish people, and I was learning all about their culture and personal stories. The guests included Christopher Lee, Jack Black, and a guy who sounded like Steve Gutenberg who demonstrated a chocolate dreidel. #dreams

Yeah, I was let down the moment it said, "Thanks for playing!"

I'd throw in Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Parks & Recreation. Also, I just started watching Bob's Burgers and find it to be hilarious.

Octopath Traveler 0 and a new action adventure RPG in the HD-2D style.

I have only made one serious move in my life. That was 15 years ago. We had been in our house for eight years and had two children. All the other moves were between apartments or dorms when we didn't have much. Yeah, I'm never doing that again.

What game could be announced during tomorrow's partner direct that would cause your jaw to drop?

My A/C is not working (don't yet know the issue). How many Mario Kart Worlds do you think it will cost to fix it? Whoever guesses closest to the correct number is smarter than the other hosts.

I was there for that, too! Somewhere there is a VHS tape of the caricature they did of my father (who was kind enough to take me there even though it was an 8-hour drive).

I know my wife frequently charges her Apple watch. I on the other hand use a Fitbit Versa 3 and only charge it once a week.

There was The Firemen on the Super Famicom/SNES, but it never released in the States. There was also Towering Inferno for the 2600 (I recall liking this one).

Mickey Mouse can don a firefighter's uniform in Disney's Magical Quest on the SNES.

This dialog from Triangle Strategy seems very relevant these days.

I need this! It's a top-10 game for me.

Slay the Spire runs great with touch controls. Also, 7 Billion Humans and Human Resource Machine require either touch screen or using the Joy Cons as pointers.

Piczle Lines is another good one for touch controls.

We switched to Fidium a couple years ago, and it's been great. 950 Mbps up and down consistently with no data cap. With Xfinity (which we had for 15 years), the upload speed was capped at 40 Mbps, and we could barely even reach that. Having an data cap sucked.

I'm on vacation, and I have spent more time doing work stuff (emails, student issues, class management) than playing video games. The ratio is way off. That's what I get for teaching online and vacationing at the same time.

I had sushi for the very first time today, and I made it.

I may have watched True Lies in the waiting area for the groom and groomsmen on my wedding day. A huge thanks to @robinlevins.bsky.social for orchestrating that one!

Don't worry about it. The other countries are the ones who actually pay the tariffs!
