8bitdo released a firmware update for the SN30 Pro+ controller (the controller i use) which made it compatible with the switch 2 so naturally in order to update my controller's firmware i had to fuckin install tiny10 (a custom lightweight distribution of windows 10) in a ******* virtual machine because apparently making a ******* linux version of your ******* update tool is so ******* hard!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why would you ever need to update the firmware on your controller anyway?

as you might be able to figure out with with amazing new invention they have called 'math', a controller that was released in 2019 does not include compatibility with a video game console released in 2025 out of the box and therefore would need an update to work with the new console

I haven't paid any attention to the Switch 2. Are the controls all that different from the first Switch?

The JoyCon 2 charging grip and the Switch 2 Pro Controller both have back buttons that can be mapped to whatever the hug you want

The last fortune cookie message I got just told me to eat more fortune cookies.

To be fair, I probably should.

I'll think of something later.

We had chinese last weekend. My fortune was standard fluff. My son's cookie had no fortune at all. It was empty.

I think the pictures are on my laptop, but I once got both halves of a fortune cookie factory mistake. One wrapper with no cookies inside, and another wrapper with two.

Yeah, we got hit too. Sudden thunderstorm, very heavy rain and winds. Power flickered but didn't go out. Our trash bins got knocked across the street, and there were some downed tree limbs. One house nearby had its power cord knocked out.

short lived jpop duo KEY WEST CLUB was only active from 1991 to 1992 and released a grand total of three singles and two albums and yet if you are all into anime, you're likely to be familiar with the melody to one of their songs

their third single, yume wa majolika señorita, was released 21 august 1992

but the song was originally performed on stage with a slightly different melody than what was used for the single release

but the melody for the original version of the song was borrowed and used as the melody for moonlight densetsu, the sailor moon theme song

Saw Jurassic World Rebirth today. It’s an okay movie. I liked how the dinosaurs this time around act more like actual animals instead of slasher movie villains. They show curiosity, motivation and fear, even predators that give up when the puny humans prove more trouble than the mouthful they are worth. The cinematography is good with lots of well-shot scenes and usage of background and unfocused camera shots. Several memorable scenes all over the film but nothing much tieing it together. The plot is basically a video game campaign with a tutorial, fetch quests, mid-boss and a final boss. I’ve compared some of the World movies to Resident Evil but this straight up could have easily been Dino Crisis 4. Lots of superfluous crap to the script, making the long runtime drag even longer. The family could have been excised entirely and nothing would change. The spinosauruses are just backup dancers for the mosasaurus and that thing commands enough attention as is. There’s heroic sacrifice and betrayal subplots started but don’t actually go anywhere. A character sustains an injury that alternates between crippling and nonexistent depending on the needs of the scene. The mutant dinosaurs are stupid. The winged raptors don’t do anything that regular raptors couldn’t aside from a divebomb entrance while the D-Rex is ugly and could just as easily have been a regular Rex aside from setting up one scene where it is literally Godzilla-sized. Convinced those are just there to sell action figures. Human characters are alright but you will not remember any of them by the time the end credits roll.

Decent popcorn movie. Not the worst thing to see in theaters but probably better to wait on streaming. Definitely could have done with some trimming. If everything else were exactly the same but the run time were about 30 minutes less, I’d probably give it a full recommendation.
