Bad luck at trivia tonight. We got the final question, but finished sixth because we were too far behind to catch up.
A few of our misses included the scientific name for mice, the namesake boat for America’s Cup, and the television anthology series Fargo.
Anyone else think Bluebird and Punchline are under-utilized? Anyone? Just me?
Haters might say they’re “just” LGBT Robin and Gen Z Harley Quinn, but I genuinely like their personalities and early stories.
I wish either of them was in a current storyline. Both have been absent for 4+ years.
What I'm playing:
-Paper Mario
-Mina the Hollower
-Bayonetta
What's on deck:
-The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D
-Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin
-Donkey Kong Bananza
Paper Mario is simple, charming, and has excellent pacing.
…until Flower Fields. Still having a good time, though.
Congratulations to your 2026 NBA Champions, the New York Mango Sentinels

I’m in chapter 7 of Paper Mario now and I’m 100% sure I haven’t played this before. Until now everything in the game felt familiar, and likely experienced in my abandoned playthrough on the Wii Virtual Console 15+ years ago.
These three already fuckin’
Beat chapter 7 last night. Hopefully snag my first got’im in almost a month tonight or tomorrow.
GOT ‘IM
#RollCredits on Paper Mario
A charming, satisfying RPG that helped start the tradition of Mario RPGs as very funny, mechanically rich RPGs. The story is basic AF, but the dialog and presentation are great for the N64.
(I like all of the partners, but Watt and Bow are the best two.)
