I was walking past some clover with my wife yesterday and recounting this story again even though she was there when it happened. I was acting it out and accidentally picked ANOTHER four leaf clover. So what do I even know about probability.

Went camping with family over the weekend and within 10 (literal) seconds of introducing the concept of a four-leaf clover to my nephew he managed to find one. Now he’s going to grow up with a very skewed sense of clover rarity.

Totally normal Facebook Marketplace interaction: Them: I’m free alllll day! Me: Great! I’ll be home at 3pm! Them: Can’t you just leave the item outside and I’ll leave the money somewhere? Me: I cannot leave a pile of knives outdoors.

What happened to the crazy inventor making stuff in his garage trope? When I was a kid in the 90's it was so common It seemed like a legit career path, now you hardly see it anymore and I feel like theres a darker reason for that shift. In modern media science is done in a lab owned by a corporation

Coyote Vs Acme was great. They managed to remain faithful to the character’s personalities in spite of a much longer runtime than a silent short. I do feel like the animation could’ve played more to camera though, so it would look less like cutscenes from a 3D Looney Tunes platformer.

I’m struggling to decide whether to replay Ocarina before the remake comes out. On one hand, I’ll be better able to notice and appreciate all the subtle changes, 1/2

Here’s my conspiracy theory: Is AI actually threatening to end human civilization, or are they just claiming that because it’s finally proving to be a dead end and they want to look like heroes when they inevitably pull the plug to save their wallets, rather than failures.

QRT with the games you’ve finished for #Zelda I’ve progressed partway through 4-Swords Adventures and Triforce Heroes. Not really keen on Zelda 2. Awakening was the 2019 remake.

QRT with the games you've finished for #Zelda. I own both Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, I just need to take the time to actually play them. Idc too much about the Four Swords games tbh.

Nothing that appeals to me very specifically, but honestly that’s kind of a relief considering the backlog I still need to work through.

Nintendo Switch 2 System Update 23.0.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes (Repost)

Zelda Fans Baffled. Link, Ganondorf Look “Wet” in Rainy Scenes.

The only thing I’m not sold on is the colour palette of the Kokiri Forest. There’s something sort of uncanny about that space in the original game with its dark greens and yellow haze.

Ocaremake looks great. The art style is 100% a product of the era. The Switch 2 is 4K so they’ve chosen an intentionally detail-dense art style to leverage that hardware. I’d be reluctant to buy a generic HD remake, but this has enough new embellishment to be interesting to explore again.

Is there a Bluesky feed for video games that isn’t 90% fan art? Nothing against fan art, but it’s hard to find news coverage, discussion and opinions in the gaming feed I currently have.

Remember the first time you encountered a singing bass, before they were everywhere and a meme? What a magical life moment.

Everyone (read: Youtube thumbnails) seems to rag on Nintendo for not doing enough for a franchise’s anniversary. But like, they have so many iconic franchises that every single year is a multiple of 5 for one series or another. If they were beholden to that it would dictate their entire focus.

Random Prediction: Super Mario Maker 3 will let you draw on stages with the mouse to sketch your ideas like the original game designers did with graph paper. You’ll be able to draw your own graphics too, but you won’t be able to share those stages online, and the capture button won’t work.

The J stands for “Jungle Planks”

If Pikmin 4 had Bingo Battle it would’ve been a near-perfect Pikmin game. Pikmin 3 stands supreme for Pikmin multiplayer. Online Bingo Battle is a great thing. Just wish this Switch 2 Edition had added some new Bingo stages.

Gather your Pikmin and get ready to explore! A free update for Pikmin 3 Deluxe has landed on #NintendoSwitch2, adding enhanced resolution and GameShare support in Bingo Battle mode! Learn more: ninten.do/6002ar03m

Here’s Funky Kong’s design in Bananza. Funky Kong used to literally just be the Donkey Kong model with surfer attire. Then he got teeth and blonde fur, the blonde fur seems to be gone, but it looks like they’re letting him keep the old Rare Ltd brow even though they changed it on DK himself. #dkc

I feel like I’m going insane. How is this product remotely suited to lefthanders? It claims the coil is on the right side so it’s out of the way for lefties, but just like any notebook, that’s only true for half of the pages! Why is no one saying this in the reviews? Am I missing something?

Hildegard is going undercover as a new alter-ego named Candela Toussaude. When I needed to colour their bills, I looked up real-world toucan species and learned there's one called a "Hooded Mountain Toucan" and another called a "Fiery-Billed Toucan" so of course I picked those! #art #dnd

Here's a detailed illustration of my next D&D PC (Hildegard Eden Von Tempest the half-gnome cleric). I tried to elaborate on the details of her design a bit so that instead of a direct port of Mister Rogers' Neighbourhood, now it's a gritty realistic reboot of Mister Rogers' Neighbourhood. #art #dnd
