Anything Xenoblade, but especially 1 and X.

I got bored of Undertale quickly, but the OST is an all-time great.

Shovel Knight is really good.

Anything by David Wise, especially Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2.

Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest has the best music in the entire series, don’t @ me.

The Grandia theme.

The Nier games have gorgeous music.

Just got my first Costco membership and looking forward to trying Kirkland beans for the first time. $15 for a 2.5 pound bag. Usually 8 o’clock is my go-to, but if Kirkland is close to comparable, I’ll probably switch.

Whoa, Zipf’s Law is right again!

Steven Pinker’s The Language Instinct is a famously great, engaging, and approachable introduction to the field of linguistics for anyone interested.

Everyone who actually buys a Switch 2 deserves exactly what they get.

This is one of those comics that feels like there’s a real story behind it.

No money for tankie admins.

This is called a “folk etymology”. Great story, but completely false.

It’s not their necks that extend this time!

Goku’s hair doesn’t all go straight up like that except when he’s Super Saiyan, and when he is Super Saiyan, his hair is wider/longer than that. Also, you can see Gohan’s characteristic hair curl at the front of his head.

Basically, hair looks like Goku’s SSJ hair but black and significantly shorter, and a curl at the front of the head. This is 100% Gohan.

Hung Hung Hippos

That’s Gohan, not Goku. Still no chance of Tien doing that to him, of course.

That’s Gohan. Tien still wouldn’t stand a chance though.

there’s no h in ῥυθμός

Not acknowledging that that rough breathing mark is an “h” is the real Anglo colonialism here.

More accurate under the inverse scope reading.

“But what we’re not for is putting our finger on the scale.”

The absolute gall.

“It’s heavy because it’s so full of mercy.”

While this would be great, it’s also a little unfortunate, since the general desktop experience on Steam Deck is IIRC currently a bit below other comparable distros, and I’d hate for people to get an incomplete picture of what the Linux desktop experience can be like. Hopefully the time that’s led up to the wider release of SteamOS has been spent on getting that desktop experience up to snuff.

Gamesir seems to be vying for that crown of late - their price to feature ratio is impressive.

Edit: Yes, they’ll face the same tariff pressures - I’m just noting that 8BitDo isn’t the clear market leader the way they were 3-5 years ago.

I love these updates so much! Thanks for all of the time and effort!
