The Rayman collection is neat

the Palestine Action ban really was a classic Starmer govt move: a hysterical overreaction that won them zero plaudits from the right, cost them badly to the left, and which got shot down in the end anyway.

You do not strike me as a tattoo person at all

Superstars > Jamboree . Each turn is so much faster, and minigames are better. Jamboree buddy system slows the game down too much.

MP1 - great soundtrack and minigames
MP2 - same as above but with cute outfits

it's probably the one i've given the least time, but i remember it being drab af

Mario Party's turn

The SNES prototype and 60 additional levels!? Oh my

Looking forward to spending my valentine's in a wetherspoons

100%. Have been bored of them for so long. Golf Story should be the direction of travel.

Last good Mario Tennis game was over 20 years ago. Last good Mario Golf was for 3DS

Doesn't get closer than that.

(Eventually I'll stop posting Oracle clips)

This is absolutely hilarious from #PMQs today.

Ayoub Khan MP says rubbish is "building right beneath my very nose" as he looks down at the Reform MPs sitting below him

"It's becoming a serious problem in Birmingham"

You're moving 😯

Into the idea there could be a gay bar in Cuba called the bay of pigs

Just been maimed by a pull-up banner

Just woke from a dream where Captain Picard was played by Michael Parkinson?

1. People struggle to reconcile Keir Starmer’s ruthless ambition, Machiavellian manoeuvres, breaking of promises, collaboration in genocide, bans on protest, aid cuts, benefit cuts and war on nature with his history as a human rights lawyer. But perhaps there is no contradiction.
Read on.🧵

Oh so he's mental

There's an almost direct negative correlation between column inches about a CoS and success. The ones who did it best (Powell, Llewellyn, Barwell) were the least well known.

Unless McSweeney misled Starmer with the advice (which there is no evidence he did), then I don't really see how you can separate what McSweeney did wrong by issuing the advice with what Starmer did (right?) by acting on it.

Morgan McSweeney has now resigned as Keir Starmer's Chief of Staff

Looking back a lot of my favourite games have amazing SFX and jingles. Too often over looked

Surprised to find he was in his 40s

This is very, very good. A politically adept Labour PM still has the opportunity to turn things around - at least partially. Understanding Reform-curious voters will never vote Labour would, in and of itself, be a major step forward. Getting to a 30% vote share is still doable.

On the 7th day god created the SNES sound chip

Kaboom

A good example of how strangely unpolitical this government is at times.
The Economist is fretting that trade union laws have been tilted (sharply!) back towards strengthening unions.
But is the government making an argument around this to progressive voters? No.

This is very neat. The Nintendo retro apps need to up their game.

I want box and cartridge dioramas and to look at the little instruction manuals

There needs to be exclusive switch 2 picross content to push you over the edge :(

Looking forward to doing the single player campaign for all 5 games 🫦
