I have just started Breath of the Wild (finally!) and Link kicking the first chest to open it without shoes, hurting his foot, then opening (nearly) every other chest by hand is just perfect.

Quite a bit of rain for the Bed Race yesterday but still a good turnout for the parade!

Playdate Announced

I am very excited for Panic’s recently announced handheld gaming system Playdate. It looks and sounds super fun:

Playdate

As an added bonus it comes in the best yellow! My Game Boy Color was the best yellow and so was my favourite N64 controller.

Game Boy Color Box Yellow

I found the box and a link cable but not the actual console. I definitely had it recently though!

(I also couldn’t help myself and had to make a special theme for my site!)

It got better.

About to watch the apocalypse be un-cancelled, and then I hope, cancelled again.
