It was a minute, but I played Star Wars: Unlimited this week. Secrets of Power prerelease. Scored several legendaries but the only one I ran was this one. It served me well and hit hard. The Lightmaker first appeared as a gift from Bail Organa in Rebels: A Princess on Lothal.

I am excited for this new mini console. I briefly got to experience an original Vectrex at a retro convention and I think the way they went about recreating it for today seems ideal. And this clock function is actually really cool. It has some Playdate vibes.

I got to experience the new Star Wars: Fall of the Empire pinball machine last night. Sadly, the Internet connection was down so I couldn't connect to Stern's online service to track my score. Can't wait to give the game another play!

Is it just me, or does it look like a crossover event between Mario Kart and Chocobo Racing inside Mario Kart Tour?

Tuesday marked the five-year anniversary of this gem coming to the Nintendo Switch. If you haven’t had a chance to try it, I highly recommend it. It’s a lot of fun. A lot of Stitch outfits for Halloween, but this is an alien more my speed.

This old guitar needs new strings, but it still sings in G with this capo configuration, D shapes and a 6/8 rhythm.

Our family enjoys Bluey. I see enormous depth in its bite-size episodes. It has good lessons for adults, let alone children.

Still keeping up with the weekly challenges. I like improving my own personal best times. I never considered myself really good at Super Mario Bros. 3, so I’m pretty proud of this run from last week. It got me pretty high in the rankings too.

Check out the Intellivision Sprint. I like seeing more retro consoles rereleased as HDMI "mini" consoles. As older hardware gets more fickle, it's nice to have an easy option to explore older games libraries with controllers that feel like the originals.

I picked up the Hallow app again and a lot has been added to it including a Wordle-style game and trivia! Tonight I used it for a rosary while doing dishes, a couple games and night prayer.

I consider myself an intermediate guitarist who dabbles in other instruments. When I saw Wii Music, I knew I had to try it. It’s not the best Wii game or video game music tool, but it’s a delightful collection of experiences that show how special music-making is. What did you think of it?

It is with mild embarrassment and severe amusement that I share I am at the age where I need to groom nose hair. Introducing this marvel of Korean engineering:

I completed a novel by Andy Weir on Saturday called Project Hail Mary. It was a wonderful and well-paced speculative sci-fi romp that I recommend. A friend and I got to have a book-club moment, too, as we both finished it together and got to chat about it last night.

Today was another full day but I have had a bit of rest this evening. I also got to complete the current tour in Mario Kart Tour. I have been in such a Mario Kart mood for months that it excites me that I still haven’t gotten to play Mario Kart World. I do look forward to it!

The first time I played Super Metroid, I was on the edge of my seat and glued to the game. The series has had consistently amazing 2D entries and I thought Dread was great. It nailed the atmosphere and had a compelling story. I got stuck on the final boss for a year, though!

I got on this Mario vs. Donkey Kong kick a while back after playing the remake and then I started picking up some of the old games that I hadn’t played yet. This one, which was released on this day several years ago, is a lot of fun. The DS was such a perfect system for this genre.

Rapid fire real talk? 1. Today was rushed and I felt unable to maintain balance. 2. I started physical therapy because my neck is killing me. 3. I am reading the sci-fi novel Project Hail Mary since Ms. Mana finished it and I saw it on her nightstand.

Out and about today. Shared a marshmallow chocolate cookie with Mana Sprout and saw this very odd Build-a-Luke at an antique shop. Does anyone remember these? Never seen anything like it. Oh, and I wore Diddy Kong socks today.
