Tim needs to write and sing more. I get that they did it when their respective bands were on hiatus and there’s probably not a lot of time, but some steady releases every couple of years would have been awesome. That show was so special. Reed ( the third dude in carrollhood) has some pretty killer songs he put out solo around that time. [MEDIA]

The site says “megaverse” coming soon. Ready for them to get weird on this one.

Locus Ultra teasing. They said there’s an ep when it was all happening. giving carrollhood vibes. Those eps are criminally underrated. I think of the Tampa ep release with all the underoath, anberlin, and Copeland side projects as fondly as some of the best uo shows I’ve ever seen. That was an amazing time to be living in Florida. The underoath arena show that anberlin reunited at was also bonkers. [MEDIA]

I just listened to an interview with Atom and he said they wrote every song on a whiteboard to pick songs for the recent run of shows. Hoping they do some rad stuff. Travis doing Oblivion one night, Skiba doing a couple songs from his era throughout tour, pipe dream is atom doing a section of the adventure with Tom. I’m sure that’s too much production to happen, but that would be nuts. Tom said they have rehearsed elevator to do during that medley section during the OMT tour. Sky is the limit for one off tour moments on this run. It’s so cool they’re touring with trio, seems like a B market run and I would have loved to see them for this one. I always thought one an album cycle is good, but I’m bummed to miss this one.

Everything about this band rules. The steady stream of new tunes is probably the best I’ve seen. Bands that have a record in the can but put out a single at a time kind of annoys me, but with HOP the singles, videos, and EPs are a really cool and refreshing approach for me.

Best Buy does for sure, Amazon you gotta be quick on those deals. Didn't see anything on Walmart just now. Mirco Center sometimes has open box deals, too.

I scooped both on Amazon, but I believe Best Buy and Walmart both have open box items for sale.

For anyone wanting Apple accessories but don’t want to pay full price. I got a Magic Keyboard open box for $100 off. They’re essentially brand new and most often it’s purchased items that are returned within 30 days. I also got an Apple folio for like half price that way. I’ve had both for a few months with 0 issues. Also a big fan of Apple Refurbished. When I was deciding between the Mac Mini and iPad Pro I was testing them out at the Apple Store and an employee told me a number of people returned the Mac minis never opened, but they have to sell them as refurbished. He said the newer the product the more likely it’s something someone got as a gift and didn’t want, or upgraded to something else without ever even opening the box.

I don’t know how it sold, but it feels like a no brainer for the first 3 generations that aren’t available to play in their OG format on the switch. It’ll be a bummer to do another game without the co op option.

Scooped let’s go pikachu to play with my kid. Pokémon has been his most abiding pop culture area of interest. This game rules. It’s so deeply nostalgic for me to replay this region and the co op play and easier difficulty has him completely locked in. I would be psyched to see the same treatment for the gold and silver era.

I got an unexpected bonus at work this week so I’d figure I bite the bullet. Picked up the Mario Kart bundle today.

I got a switch 2 a few weeks ago and have almost exclusively been streaming from my iPad Pro. It’s immaculate. Playing Wind Waker looks so good with the cell shading even though the graphics are GameCube era. I am so happy with this device as my daily driver for everything. Mine was on sale when I got it and still felt like a big investment, but I have felt better about it as my laptop replacement, reading device, content consumption device, and overall planner. I never used my air for reading, but the pro is so light I have been reading for it rather than a kindle. I really value how easy it is to make annotations and highlight things I reference back to for work all the time. I still haven’t downloaded the IOS beta, but I am planning on going all in on custom home and lock screens. One thing I hadn’t anticipated on enjoying so much were the speakers. Watched the Mario movie with my kid last night and the screen / speaker combo with a nice stand rules. My only gripe is how unbelievable annoying Nintendo is for not having an easy way to wirelessly stream from your device. The capture card / separate app needed is egregious.

That bass tone is out of control. Thrice’s rhythm section is so good. I agree these are my favorite singles from them in a minute. Love the range of these two. Sufficiently excited for this record.

For Pokemon, your kid might like Scarlett or Violet. Performance was unbearably bad on Switch 1, but majorly improved on Switch 2. It's kind of a traditional Pokemon game but in a much larger open world format with new challenges in addition to your standard 8 gyms. People also love Pokemon Legends Arceus. I didn't love how much dialogue it had, but it's a cute game if your kid wants to collect Pokemon. Sword and Shield are the most similar to the GBA games, but very hand-holdy. There is also a Pearl and Diamond remake for Switch. Some of my favorite games are: Mario Odyssey DK Bananza Luigi's Mansion 3 BOTW and TOTK Zelda Echoes of Wisdom Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Kart World Animal Crossing New Horizons Mario 3D World Tony Hawk 3+4 HD plays well and looks great on Switch 2 if you're looking for some nostalgia, too

Scooped a switch 2 a couple of weeks ago. I am working my way through Wind Waker. Got a capture card and I’ve been playing on my iPad Pro. It looks immaculate. I got the switch super early on and did a full play through of BOTW. Definitely going to do Tears when it gets a bit colder. Any recs on games I missed? My kid loves Pokémon, we’re starting let’s go this weekend.

I bought echoes of wisdom the day it came out but just started playing it two days ago. What a great little Zelda game this has been so far. Kinda bummed I waited so long to give it a shot.

Took a Bit to get the switch up and running with a capture card for my iPad Pro, but damn it looks glorious. Been enjoying Wind Waker and the colors / cell shading look reaaaaally nice. Psyched for a new game with killer graphics.

It does seem like an intentional pivot. It worked on me. I listened to the record twice and then took a pause for a couple months, but after hearing them talk about it I jumped back in with a whole new experience. They usually have a documentary for the album, and on the last one they did that huge pod. It definitely felt like something was missing on this rollout for me. They even did the Locus Ultra thing which was super rad, but so limited in who actually got to see it in person.
