Ok here’s what Nintendo just did:
They showed us that the earliest 3D games are still resoundingly enjoyable.
Make new games like that.
Reign in budgets.
Reign in scope.
Remake great games we miss.
Make 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 games (see also Star Fox)
Make games we’ll want to share with people we love.
Make physical games.
Have more midnight launches.
AAA games don’t need to be or cost everything to be enormously successful.

If you’re older than 22 and still playing video games, let alone taking off work to play video games…
You need to take a look in the mirror and give that person a thumbs up for being able to juggle bills, family, friends and still have time for a fun hobby.

I lost my Dad on 9/11. I don’t get a lot of reach on here. But I just wanted to share a picture. He was 39. I thought he was old. I’m now in my mid 30s and I still feel like a kid.
He was a great trader. He loved markets. He loved to find a stock no one was talking about.
The first trade I ever placed was on his work computer, where he let me click the button to buy AMAT. I loved going to the office with him. It was electric.
He was the best dad. We spent hours out in the street after dinner where he’d throw “pop flys” for me to catch. Eye on the ball.
He loved watching Sponge Bob and eating cereal, wrestling with us in the living room. He just loved being around his kids so much, and we knew it. I’m so grateful I got a dad like that.
Love you, Pops.

I can confirm that I wrote "OPTIMUS PRIME AWAKENING," the upcoming 12 minute short following the 40th anniversary celebration of "THE TRANSFORMERS THE MOVIE" and the final performance of the iconic PETER CULLEN as Optimus Prime. It was a dream come true and I hope you enjoy it.

Do not grieve. He is one with the Matrix.
Rest well, Peter Cullen. You will forever be the voice of my hero.

So let me get this right:
We've had Hand of God, Beckham red, Campbell disallowed goal, Lampard in Bloemfontein, Koeman in 94 qualifiers...
... and now you want us to feel bad because a hoof that landed in our half MIGHT have grazed a cable on it's way?
Don't think so 😂😂😂

Norway and England in an all-time World Cup CLASSIC!
We’re down to the final 4 nations!
I love the class and true sportsmanship displayed on the pitch at the end of these monster matches!
THE THRILL OF VICTORY & THE AGONY OF DEFEAT!❤️💔
