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.

The guests included Christopher Lee, Jack Black, and a guy who sounded like Steve Gutenberg who demonstrated a chocolate dreidel. #dreams

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.

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.
