Yes! On the SNES switch online thing? My 3 y/o has been loving it too, especially after finding the rocketship eraser.

Turkish?

One of these things is not like the other… I tried to look this up and can’t find it. My best guess is an autocorrected Turok?

I’m not familiar with Rhythm Heaven, but Mario 64 (and Sunshine) has been a big hit in our house too.

I was thinking about picking that controller up. My 3 y/o has been using a pro controller, and it seems too big.

I do have a fondness for old rock/metal from that era too and am pretty happy with it, so maybe that’s a green light!

it is like studying the life and culture of the past.

I truly think stuff like this is important. Developing an appreciation and personal connection to cultural touchstones of the past is like a history lesson and familiarizes you with the life experiences of your parents/grandparents/etc.

You’re probably right. I bet I’m being US-centric to just assume everyone there values free speech/expression with the same cultural intensity.

What is happening in the UK in the last year or so? I keep seeing crazy headlines like this every so often.

The online safety act requiring ID, police showing up at old people’s houses for their Facebook/twitter posts, or that one time someone suggested they would try to extradite Americans for the same thing. Where is this coming from all of a sudden?

It seems like we’re going to live through a time where these become so convincingly “conscious” that we won’t know when or if that line is ever truly crossed.

Part of the breakdown:

I guess less of a walkthrough and more “here are the cheat codes”.

I think that’s more than a fair point. AI is a tool, and I’m personally (tentatively) optimistic about what it will be capable of helping us with.

I think the distinction to be made in this case is when the use of a tool undermines the desired experience without us realizing it.

Like “I want to enjoy playing this game.” > (uses cheats for a little bit) > “Now I don’t enjoy playing it normally anymore.”

Or “I want to be able to think critically.” > (consults AI for everything) > “Now I have a hard time reasoning on my own.”

Soulslikes are great if you’re looking to scratch an itch for mechanical mastery, discovery, exploration, etc., but stories are not their strong suit. I’m not saying the stories are bad, just the delivery of them, unless you’re the type of player who wants to play detective.

I need to find one that has this!

Taking one of my young kids to the grocery store feels like I’m escorting a little celebrity.
