Oh Snap! (#1 worst pun o' the day)

I'll probably play this in a month or two if the reviews are good, I have fond memories of the original. But yeah, Nintendo doesn't really allow big name games to be anything less than excellent.

Right on. I played through Pokémon red a couple times on gameboy (like: THE gameboy), then I had some Pikachu tomagachi ripoff (the first or second fitbit-like step counter? but you could hear the clicking of the accelerometer EDIT: "Pocket Pikachu"), then Snap 1, then nothing until Pokémon Go in 2016. Play PoGo on and off to this very day.

Anyway. Haven't seen any in-game footage of the new Snap, don't wanna spoil nothin', but if people like it, I'll check it out. Seems kinda conformist, but yee. am_Monitoring. and Switch is my only current gen console. No PC/other presence either. Too busy.

P.S. played Clue tonight for the first time in my life. Accidentally won before fully understanding the game mechanics. Wild story. My first extra-familial face-to-face social event in about 57 weeks, but who's counting?

It was like 30 minutes in, and for my wife's turn, just before mine, she guessed (but not alleged) "I think it was Mr. Green in the kitchen with a lead pipe" and no one could dispute it, it went all the way around the circle, and an awkward silence began. And I was like "So, umm. I think... I think I'd like to allege that..." and everyone was like "no, you have to be in the kitchen!", and I'm pretty far away, down the hall. Of course, I rolled an 11, the exact number of tiles I needed. What a bullshit win. My little clue card I'm supposed to be writing my deductions on was a tangled mess of garbage, I didn't know what I was doing for the first 2/3 of the game. Hilarious.

I haven't seen the movie! People last night were recommending it too, I'm looking forward to watching it. I have seen Knives Out, which was pretty excellent, kinda similar premise. Netflix is now apparently making a Knives Out series, I'm sure it'll be terrible.

Cheers to snappin'!
