And it was all there! Never been happier to have been wrong

Super! Mario Odyssey jigsaw puzzle

The next jigsaw is Super Mario Odyssey.

This is a 500 piece puzzle. I only counted 498 pieces, so I'm not sure if I miscounted or there are actually two pieces missing.

Time to find out...

Every time I go back to the UK, I buy a jigsaw puzzle to do. This time I got two: Rick and Morty and a Mario Odyssey.

They are second hand so it's a gamble that all the pieces work will be there.

This one was a success!

Originally, I thought Nintendo didn't open a Taiwanese eShop because of the 7-day cooling off period for online purchases (7天鑑賞期).

But it seems that digital purchases have been exempt from this law since 2013.

Anyway, great to see more official Nintendo presence back in Taiwan

Correctly seated battery retention bar in a PS Vita

I opened my Vita to remove what I thought was a bulging battery.

It turns out the last person in there didn't seat the battery retaining bar properly and that was the cause

I've still got to fix the camera though... I hope they're still available

@wenli.uuu.moe 請教一下，在此文章有提出：「在台灣本土，配合市場特性推出俗又大碗的32合一卡匣，而將較為精緻的原創單卡外銷到國外市場，這個做法也在普澤公司人士接受媒體訪問中有所暗示」

想請問有記得是在哪裡看到的訪問嗎？
（或者有沒有其他關於 Bit Corp 的訪談或報導可以參考？）

I tried out penpot today. I was actually looking for a replacement for Corel Vector, which this is not.

But - the flexbox/grid implementation is great for bringing a CSS-style workflow to design.

Hunchback! I completely forgot about that game. I used to always play on Spectrum

As much as Poker Face is a play on the detective genre, S02E11 was closer to a slasher.
