Just recently finished Super Mario RPG on the Switch. I never played the original on SNES, but it was a lovely game (and felt even better knowing that Paper Mario Thousand Year Door for the Switch is around the corner, 2024 is the year of Mario RPGs apparently!)

Lots of visual humor packed into the small number of graphics and movement options, I never had to grind throughout the whole story but still game over-ed twice, battles kept you engaged with the action commands. 10/10 🤩

Open source can turn money into security and maintenance. Happy that this report dug into how diversification of funding sources benefits projects:

Trina got me the 8BitDo Famicom keyboard for a birthday gift and it's immediately great! 🤩 The giant buttons are as goofy as I imagined (now to figure out what to hotkey...)
