![An excerpt from the Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Friday_(shopping). It reads:
Thanksgiving's relationship to Christmas shopping led to controversy in the 1930s. Retail stores would have liked to have a longer shopping season, but no store wanted to break with tradition and be the one to start advertising before Thanksgiving. For this reason, in 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued a presidential proclamation proclaiming [sic] Thanksgiving to be the fourth Thursday in November rather than the last Thursday, meaning in some years one week earlier, to lengthen the Christmas shopping season. Most people adopted the President's change, which was later reinforced by an act of Congress, but many continued to celebrate Thanksgiving on the traditional date.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ybohjmxfg253cbgq7chv57cy/bafkreidsdgbjiwf3n6dzr5n3azjp3dm5u3msq6gou3wkvxunt7geklkra4@jpeg)
this fascinates me because vance is just saying out loud that a big part of american traditionalism is doing shit that's completely arbitrary without caring if it sucks or not
![A quote from JD Vance:
"Nobody does it because turkey doesn't actually taste that good. But on Thanksgiving, one of the most American holiday [sic] ... we're going to cook a turkey by God, because that's what Americans do," he told the crowd. "We cook this gigantic American bird and we do all kinds of crazy things to make it taste good."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ybohjmxfg253cbgq7chv57cy/bafkreih37ebuotlcgwkvjqmr2qeaje4c4ooufk3726dekewcgcacfdufx4@jpeg)

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials & Tribulations (2007, DS)
a fantastic end to a brilliant trilogy of games. the writing is impeccable, and it's the first ace attorney with All Banger Cases (okay some of the characters in case 3 are... questionable... but that aside)

Banjo-Tooie (N64, 2000)
i dunno, as someone who loves the sweetly whimsical tone of the original, i like the more cynical tone of Tooie a lot. i love the way the world is interconnected, even if i'm not sure it avails itself of that quite enough in its design.

Pizza Tower (2023, PC/Steam)
is there a game on this list that understands what makes a hard game engaging more? going for a p-rank is addictive and getting one is exhilarating. the designers understood what made wario land great and made it absolutely cook.

Star Fox 64 (1997, N64)
look, Famous Epic Gaming Quotes aside, this is just a genuinely great+fun arcade rail shooter with a surprisingly high skill ceiling. it absolutely oozes with this weird corny action movie charm. i think the game's aesthetic is cooler than people give it credit for

WarioWare: Touched! (2005, DS)
it's frenetic, funny and weird. the DS was the first handheld i owned that was totally my own, and i remember just staying up late under the covers 100%ing it - the last "formative childhood game" on here
also, and i cannot stress this enough: it gave us Ashley

it was SO hard picking between The Crystal Shards and this one, but Kirby's Adventure is one of the first games i ever played and is super formative; it won out. it's mechanically solid for an NES game and beautiful. the Rainbow Resort music makes me cry (i'm a huge baby)
