I actually finished this recently, and to me, the old abilities were almost completely irrelevant. There are legitimately times where you might think that wonderwing is the solution to something, but arbitrarily is programmed to not work.

I still really like BT, and even prefer it over the first in some aspecta. However, it is a perfect example of how powerups were implemented poorly back then (and even today). Instead of powerups enhancing the core gameplay loop, they are just keys to solve shallow puzzles. "Oh, there's a crack in the wall? Shoot it with a grenade egg." This is why Mario games have much more emphasis on evolving gameplay through level design rather than character abilities.

It's very popular in scientific computing

Devil's advocate take: was the phone app the only way to ease your anxiety, or was it just an option that was recommended due to the trend of trying to have our phone do everything?

The best way to "stand up for yourself" when a company that sells a luxury product is to not buy said product. In which case this tariff nonsense doesn't affect you. More people were affect by the increase in the cost of groceries and gas than the cost of a Switch 2.

IMO I think it's weird to focus specifically on Nintendo. The American government basically screwed over its populace and a ton of foreign companies (less sympathy for the former though). I don't think it's realistic to expect these companies to reimburse companies, because logistically it'd be a nightmare. The only way I can imagine consumers getting their money back is if the government used the tarrif money to pay a portion of the federal income tax for its citizens, ideally the lower tax vracket. Unfortunately that won't happen.

You can use regular dish soap on a cast iron. The big no-nos are soaking for an extended period of time and not hand-drying after washing

"operating at a loss" =/= "low revenue"

That is a much stronger argument, except Israel is hardly ever portrayed as a "hero." The Bible portrays Israel as a nation that is constant going astray and making the wrong decisions.

Lol, somebody hasn't actually read the Bible. You have taken quite a few liberties, just in the first few points.

  1. Jesus is never portrayed as "ordinary." He's also not born in "ordinary" circumstances because he's born in a time where the king is slaughtering infants due to a prophecy saying a new king will be born, hence how he ended up in the manger.
  2. The wisemen don't proclaim anything. An angel appears to Mary before Jesus is born and tells her exactly what will happen and what to do.
  3. Jesus is a literal baby at this point. He can't refuse anything
  4. Assumptions are of no value compared to facts, or at least something that is actually in a historical text or the actual Bible.
  5. This is not what "Crossing the Threshold" would be in the Hero's Journey. It's like Luke leaving Tatooine or Frodo leaving the shire. Jesus is the son of God, at least in the context of the New Testament. There is no "threshold." He's part of an omniscient being.

and considering that's almost half of the steps, I don't think we need to go any further

Who are you trying to apply the Hero's Journey too? Jesus? Because it doesn't really fit at all.

TV is the biggest waste of time. I enjoy some shows, but I can acknowledge that a lot of it really is just something to fill time rather than "art." I've cut back my TV and YouTube consumption a lot, and it enables me to do a lot more non-passive hobbies. Worst case scenario I read or game, which I consider a much better use of my time.
