@Sunsy I would like to look into some of the behind the scenes stuff that went into some of those games. I like reading or watching about how games are made, both video and mechanical. I love learning how pinball cabinets work for example.
I used to really be into plush toys and would play those crane machines when I could - which wasn't much - but I usually couldn't win anything lol. I fell out of collecting them except in very rare circumstances. I've donated or gifted most of my former collection in fact. They were just collecting dust in storage. The only ones I've kept have some sentimental value. Though a small Dragon Quest slime sits on my work desk and stares at passersby.
@Eagly You live in a hot or humid environment then? I live in the Lower Midwest, so we get hot, humid summers but cool to beyond cold winters, depending on how Mother Nature wants to troll us lol. As for games, two years was a conservative estimate. That doesn't include games I'd like to revisit for various reasons. I do hope the Xenoblade series keeps growing in popularity. It deserves a similar audience share to Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest.
Heh, good point on the marketing since I'm already sold. I'd forgotten that Torna was intended to be a flashback in XC2 but am glad it was expanded upon into its own side game. But yeah, I'm definitely interested, though I still won't grab the DLC until at least close to when the new story bit launches.

Depend on the teacher I guess.
I teach Math for Math Club extra curricular for grade 1, 2, 3 and 5 and sometimes I used my board games to play Monopoly style game with some Question boxes so I will ask the students to answer the question from mine and they will get additional points for correct answer.
I used Amiibo Festival style board game with some of my original rules for Math Club.
And for grade 5, I oftenly explain the secret way or fastest way to solve some Math problems like comparing fractions or counting the decimals or finding LCM / HCF from fractions, etc.

My mom put me in it permanently after my sophomore year. We do rodeo and a lot of them are on Friday, so we used to miss a ton of school. Overall I like online better, but it can be a pain sometimes.

@TheJGG Yeah that's true... I mean, I guess at least it's not extremist propaganda? I mean crypto isn't great but at least it's not brainwashing people into doing things... Hopefully, at least...
The funny thing about crypto is that there are people who would legitimately die on that hill, even now despite the massive tanking on the part of cryptocurrencies and NFTs. But LTT’s been restored so all’s well that ends well… for now.
It's looking increasingly likely over here that's where it's heading... I thought I had read that TikTok was banned from British Government devices? Maybe that's an omen for it over there too?
All aboard the "shoot tiktok into the sun" train! Tickets, please... no wait, let's ride that one for free!
I’ll buy y’all a round of popcorn, this is gonna be fun to watch. You can also claim your “I’m so glad I never got into it” ticket here
@TheBigBlue I’m not too big into it myself but it’s a fantastic way to communicate with people from this site in particular. I’m not too interested in the server idea, since I’ve had my fair share of disastrous misunderstandings and idiocy in them, I feel ya.
