Legends ZA is just a stranger walking up to you and telling you what to do for the rest of your life and you don't question it.

Like its a completely valid argument that a $70 game from such a wealthy franchise should spend more than $13,000,000 on development.

But at that point just charge me $40, I'd be happy as a clam.

My hot take is I almost kind of find Pokémon's clunkiness and wooden animations endearing. And I enjoy their frequent releases. So as long as we're wishing for things that aren't gonna happen I'd rather them charge less than spend more on development.

I could go for some voice acting though.

Imagine thinking a company paid for reviews to end up with a lukewarm 81 on metacritic haha. (not an indictment on the game, I'm excited, just hardly a game of the year score)

Joe Merrick @joemerrick.bsky.social · 1d

Always intriguing to see people in my mentions claiming reviews are wrong and a game they haven't played doesn't deserve the scores that are being given

Even to go so far as to claim reviews were paid for.

People are exhausting.

I just realized I never went back and caught Iron Valiant after they fixed the event. 3 years of a perfect Mightiest Mark collection down the drain. 😭 #PokémonScarletViolet

Thank you! I should've included a link.

Wrote easily instead of easy on a skeet about being a teacher. RIP. 🤦‍♂️

I feel like I post about this every year, but one of my favorite lessons in my Civics class, is when I use @jon.gvg.io and @gvg.io's Waddle Dee Knows video to teach the kids about media literacy. #teachersky #educationsky

I tried Best Buy this time because I'm in a place I can afford to pay all at once and I wanted the mouse pad.

But apparently they don't charge you until the week of. So something I thought I budgeted for months ago just now got deducted from my account when I wasnt expecting it. (Part 2 of 2)

For all GameStop's faults I still think they're the best place to pre-order games.

I used to pre-order there because they're the only retailer that lets you pay in installments with no mandates other than a $5 deposit, and you have to pay it off before you pick it up. (Part 1 of 2)

I switched to Earl Grey tea today because I need less caffeine on my Vyvanse and I'm kind of digging it. I guess I'm British now.

My beige flag is that I'll put things on my Amazon Credit Card as a payment plan when I make an impulse purchase instead of taking the points because I'm too anxious to be accountable for it right away, then just pay it all off on my next paycheck anyway.

I still think this is just Miyamoto on his hyperfixation kick again and not related to any larger project. At least not a new game seeing as how Pikmin 4 was just 2 years ago and that took a decade.

Maybe giving Nintendo Pictures something to practice with?

The Nintendo 'Close to You' video they released yesterday was for Pikmin!

Also upon reflecting more, I believe this is officially the longest I've gone without drinking since I started again in 2020. So that's worth celebrating. 🥳

Mitchell Monroe @clockworthclone.bsky.social · 8d

Every day I go without alcohol gets both easier and more difficult. Its hard to explain.

Like I'm more and more content without alcohol, but that voice in the back of my head has more and more justification to tell me I've earned a treat.

Its sober October though. Not random sober week. 🫡

Yeah I've definitely come across funny bits from them. They just also have some that leave a sour taste in my mouth.

My wife actually works with one of them, though she's not like one of the main staples. She's just on their podcast once a month I think it is.

Bored Teachers mostly just feels like exploiting teacher's frustrations at the expense of students for cheap clicks. (3 of 3)

He used those funny bits to garner people's attention, then used his platform to advocate for the needs of both students and teachers.

And even in the funny bits, they will often call attention to needs within them. (2 of 3)

Don't really know where to post this so itll reach the right audience, but I feel like Bored Teachers is trying to capture the niche Gerry Brooks created but they miss the mark so hard.

They think its just about funny relatable teacher nuisances, but Gerry Brooks content always had layers. (1 of 3)

What's wild is I had zero context clues for what happened outside of the people who were talking about it, so I took a guess and looked up the person's profile and sure-enough lol.
