Sweet potato biscuits! I have never tried that but now I want to.

Wait, you mean they’ll release a new NBA game next year? Just like they do every year? Amazing.

Yes please! It’s a brilliant game and I will happily buy an updated version.

Aspyr! I was a Mac user in an era that was 95% Windows, and Aspyr brought quality games over to our side of the pond. I remember they ported Alpha Centauri in particular, but there were lots of other ones too.

Also Bungie back in that era—they were Mac-exclusive and putting out the amazing Marathon series. I was heartbroken when I saw the trailer for the new “Marathon” game that looks nothing like the originals.

That looks really good! Is it oyster sauce?

Yes, I’d love that.

Well damn. I loved the original trilogy and I have been saying for ages that I want a remake using modern game design and technology. But based on that website and trailer, I don’t think I’m getting what I wanted. Marathon had a multiplayer mode, yes, but the core was a single player story that made you feel like you were all alone in the world. This looks like not that.

It’s a him. Mario.

This is probably not a terribly helpful answer, but on the iOS side, there is Apple Arcade, which is a huge library of “free” (aka included with the subscription) games that don’t have any ads or microtransactions. If there’s an Android equivalent, just give her that as her app store. You’d spend a set amount per month and keep her away from the predatory business models.

I loved the book “Halloween Party” but this sounds like it changed a LOT. Anyone out there who has read the book is it any good as an adaptation or am I just going to be annoyed the whole time?

As someone who has lived in three different boroughs in NYC, I am so thrilled by this. I loved the NYC of the first one but didn’t like that it was just Manhattan, when comics Spider-Man lives in Queens and sometimes goes to Brooklyn. Great decision to expand it.

Huh, and this weekend I saw “Talk To Me”, which didn’t even make the list. Good movie, though.

I had shakshuka for dinner tonight too. It was greens-based rather than tomato-based but still delicious.

How could you do a Red Dead Redemption 3, though? Like, this article is all just “technically, it would be possible and could look nice”, but how could it work from a story point of view? The only thing I could think would be to go even farther back in time, because John Marston’s story is completely done, and we’ve seen as much of Arthur’s story as we need to.

Always loved Asterix comics so this looks like fun.

Oh that’s beautiful.

Thank you! It sounds delicious and I am saving the recipe.

Can you share a recipe for the gazpacho? It looks and sounds amazing.

This looks like a great movie. FOR ME TO POOP ON!

Sorry, there aren’t many opportunities as good as this one to bust out Triumph the Insult Comic Dog jokes these days. Anyway, I’ve seen the trailer far too many times in front of other movies, and it looks a bit crap. I’m willing to be persuaded otherwise but that is what I’m assuming.

I’ll have what you’re having.
