I seem to have the latent ability to crack innocent jokes that end up blowing up into a running gag. This afternoon, while playing in a Rain Meadow arena lobby, I pointed out that everyone was playing as Rivulet, and . . . let’s just say that things went a little overboard. The Chain Chomps biting their tongues joke and the entire Mineral Fish fandom are also in my ability’s portfolio.
This classified advertisement in a magazine is what I believe to have been my first encounter with the Pokémon franchise, and one of the reasons why I chose Pokémon Legends: Arceus as my entry point into the fandom. The copyright notice at the bottom of the page is dated 2009, and the other advertisements in the magazine, both classified and integrated, suggest that it was from the transition between the 3DS and the Wii. And after searching up this card collection, its release date aligns with the copyright year. My consensus is that these magazines were outdated by almost a decade when I first read them. Unless . . ?
It would be awesome if there were a device that could mimic a Nintendo Switch dock. Yes, I know that dockless docks are a thing, but this one would do so much more that just being a dock. It would connect to a computer running companion software, displaying full-quality, high-speed video that a capture card can’t match. It would be able to simulate a controller plugged into a dock’s USB ports, allowing you to use third-party controllers. If you connected it to Steam, you could configure controller inputs using the more advanced Steam Input system. And if you connect the client to Steam Link, multiple people would be able to play a local multiplayer game over the internet.
I wonder what Nintendo 64 graphics would look like if the textures weren't antialiased.
A secret that deserves to be kept. For nobody else could live with it.

FACT: Lightbulb to outlet power adapters are a thing that exist, and I would suggest bringing one on vacation as a contingency! Just in case you end up in . . . like, either a very old or extremely fancy building with no exposed power outlets, so you can just unscrew a lightbulb and charge your phone using it. After all, lightbulb sockets aren't proprietary, and haven't been supplanted by a modern alternative!
Abilities are notably absent from Pokémon Legends: Arceus, but the vestigial UI elements suggest that this wasn’t originally the case…
UNSOLICITED FACT: Mario Kart World secretly supports multiplayer over LAN, which you can access by pressing both bumpers and the left stick on the main menu. While local wireless play can only support 8 systems, and therefore a maximum of 16 players, local LAN play can support an unlimited quantity of systems, or as many as your router can physically accommodate.
I really wish that I could make this little rarity part of my team, but at level 35, there’s virtually no chance that’s going to happen. I pulled my starter Cyndaquil through thick, thin, and more than a couple dozen XP candies to bring it up to speed with the rest of my team, and even now it’s the only one who hasn’t reached the level cap. This little anomaly will be staying a budding apprentice at best.
ELECTION UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: This morning, Tallying Hall was shut down for the second consecutive day when the tallying foxes showed up to the morning shift carrying knives. Animal control was called to confiscate the knives, and the foxes finished the rest of their shift without incident. Yesterday, Tallying Hall was evacuated after several parcels of white powder were found in the mailroom. A member of the cafeteria staff has approached one of our reporters to explain that the parcels were part of a shipment of sweeteners that they ordered for personal purposes, and had it addressed to Tallying Hall for convenience purposes.
I decided to test a feature included in the Apple Ecosystem v26 beta. Try downloading this image and viewing it on an HDR-capable device. Make sure that it stays in HEIC or HEIF format.
And now my Great will become Migreator! Spread your wings, you adorable duck! Take flight! . . . I said WINGS, not UNIBROW!
