Mario Party Superstars’ deal is that it features boards and minigames from the 3 N64 Mario Party titles. Something to note: because these are all older minigames, they exclusively use button controls rather than joycon motion control. But as somebody who grew up playing these, this was a must-buy.

With Jamboree, it looks like a typical MP release (a la Super Mario Party), but a cool thing here is that they also included two boards from older titles. This brings the total number of boards in jamboree to 7, compared to the 4 in SMP and 5 in MPS. No word though on which minigames might be seeing a return from the older titles. They did confirm that many minigames would use motion controls; if you haven’t played a recent MP, I find that these generally work well, are intuitive for new players, and are good fun.

I’ll probably pick this up because I do play Mario Party with friends and family from time to time. For anyone who doesn’t yet have a MP on the Switch, this does seem like the definitive title to get since it’s both the newest and the biggest, though I would still recommend Mario Party Superstars for anyone with nostalgia for the N64 games.

Oh, this sounds lovely! I’ll have to give it a try at some point.

Sardines and guac is a combo I hadn’t thought of but I could see that going really well, especially with a seedy toast like you’re doing.

I just moved so the toast may have to wait until I’m more unpacked, but sounds like it’s not that bad once you have the process down!

I’m interested in the sardine guac, do you just essentially add sardines to a regular guacamole recipe? I really enjoy sardines and would love to find more ways to incorporate them into meals.

Also curious about what goes into your keto toast!

Do you not use a fork as your origin, separate from the production upstream repo? I’ll push to my fork’s main branch for small or urgent changes that will definitely be merged before anything else I’m working on.

Someone else already named some tools, so I won’t repeat. But the reason this works is that even once you clear out those trash files, the OS usually only removes the pointer to where the data lives on the disk, and the disk space itself isn’t overwritten until it’s needed to save another file. This is why these tools have a much higher chance of success sooner after file deletion.

Yep, that’s exactly it. I’ve used DoubleTap a bit and it picks up my taps very reliably, but it’s of course much more limited in what it can control. Tbh my main use case is for stopping timers while I have my hands busy cooking, and it works brilliantly for that.

I’m also curious whether AssistiveTouch uses the onboard ML now. It would make a lot of sense since Siri does, but I haven’t seen anything saying one way or the other and haven’t compared the performance between models.

Double Tap specifically leverages the new models’ on-device ML processing capabilities, which requires the new chip. I haven’t tried it myself, but I’ve also read that Assistive Touch is both less consistent/accurate and burns through more battery.

I do sometimes “provide feedback” on terrible featured snippets, but goddamn does it feel like shouting into a void.

For half price!

The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them pay for what they've done.

Love that bit, I get caught up in the passion of Picard’s delivery every time.

Late to the watch party, but I agree with this.

My reading was that Boimler’s slip-up and the knowledge that she wouldn’t be a significant part of Spock’s life (at least viewed from a historical perspective) was what caused Chapel to pull away from Spock, and end up sabotaging the relationship. But tragically - time-travel shenanigans and all that - who’s to say whether or not that’s the way things were always going to happen?

The opportunity the fellowship provides allows her to envision a positive, worthwhile future for herself, where she is free from the boundaries she’d previously imagined, and can let go of her disappointment that the path she yearned to travel with Spock was one she wasn’t destined for.
