I made a working egg box for my youngest and have debated letting him take to the theater to use as his popcorn bucket for Galaxy.

I didn't really tweak anything outside a few orange shades and adding the center nub to the ball from later games. It really looked like nothing at all out of context.
Plexi backing was tricky. I wanted the center bits to look a level deeper as well as the “teeth” but it all had to be very skinny so it doesn’t show accidental thickness.
Finished Friday!

There has to be something better Old Yeller based.
Coffee shop ok'ed the full display. We're locked in, goes up in 4 weeks.
Feels like we're getting to K-Mart/Toys R Us territory. Wall*Mart was smart by setting expectations so low that anything outside raw sewage in the aisles felt positive.
Friday will be funny hat day.
Our Target, after you enter, makes you walk past the entire checkout line, which is incredibly long almost every time. Insane vibe/brand killer. Two weeks ago I told my teen, "I almost hope we don't find it." I wonder when private equity starts circling.
If the Odyssey team did Bananza I've guessed the Bowser's Fury team is on 3D Mario, so maybe soonish. Another 7-year Zelda gap though? I'll be 50....
Nintendo has avoided a lot of the pitfalls of other game companies but "games are too big take too long to develop" snagged them.
We'll just have 1 family Switch 2, so it will be mostly docked; it's on trips that the battery life matters for us. I am getting to the point of "how about announce some big games" to make this feel worth it?
How bad is the battery life? We said no switch 2 until school year is over but it’s a concern of mine.
I don't understand this at all. I use AI for a few things it's good at and it just means I get more done and prototyped to a higher level. It feels like saying "fax machines will drop the work week to 4 days because it's so much faster to communicate documents now".
Can I request the bombs hold out slightly longer to April 1 so I can see my whole Zelda display go up.
WIP Monday

No Finished Friday yesterday because of too much exposed plexiglass. I have to varnish first before adding exposed plexi, and it’s been too cold to spray in the garage. Double FF next week.

Only queens tonight.
Do you use square? Venmo and Square are the big two I use at shows. I don’t know a good square replacement.
Are you doing this because of the AI layoffs? Are you moving to something different?
I can’t read this without saying “smart people” with air quotes.
Dorsey gives me “this guy again??” jump scares whenever he randomly pops up for attention.
Is there any evidence they can run a huge media company like this? How may good hit moves did Skydance ever produce?
I met that guy around the same time the stuff about Phil Spencer thinking Nintendo's best option was to sell to Microsoft or something and I've had them on "spiral the drain" watch since.

A few years ago I met someone who worked in marketing for Microsoft gaming. He was talking about a game coming out the next month and how cool it was, and his voice was so forced I knew it was going to be a bomb (and it was). Ever since I've watched xBox with weird side curiosity.
