There is some absolutely hilarious material in here, were it instead fictional.

First-term state Rep. Roger Wilder, R-Denham Springs, who sponsored the child labor measure and owns Smoothie King franchises across the Deep South, said he filed the bill in part because children want to work without having to take lunch breaks.

"I keep trying to give them lunch breaks but they insist on doing what's in the best interest my pocket lining!"

And my favorite, also from Roger Wilder:

“The wording is ‘We’re here to harm children.’ Give me a break," he said. "These are young adults.”

Could you imagine the delivery of this line, with just the right amount of pause after "give me a break" and the right expression to the camera if this were said on something like Parks and Rec?

Thanks, he's obsessed with Pokemon and has been glued to the game so far. I'm interested in checking them out myself and will try popping in as second player!

I remember hearing about that one, I'll definitely check it out, thanks.

Hell yeah, that's perfect! Kinda forgot that I did also have the original Gameboy, and Kirby's Dreamland was almost certainly my favorite game on it.

Nice, this was totally off my radar but looks very promising, thanks!

TOTK is basically the same game but 1000x better

I hear ya, but I think that's why I'd like to try them both, in order. More game, without tarnishing the experience of the first.

I've never particularly cared for Mario, but in retrospect it's always felt somehow alien when I've tried playing them, like they all have this particular identity, and I'm not in its clique. Maybe I should actually sit down with one on my own and give it a solid try (rather than just sampling at someone else's place).

Aw man, I forgot about Splatoon, and I think that would have been great but apparently there's no splitscreen multiplayer. Good suggestion though!

A Republican hoping to represent Michigan in the U.S. Senate suffered a setback to his campaign this week after facing allegations that he lives in Florida.

Would that all candidates for public office suffered such setbacks if they were accused of living in Florida.

Fine, I'll play the demo.

I don't think I'm the target audience for this, I get PS3-era Platinum Games vibes from the little I know, which never interested me. The onslaught of coverage feels manufactured to me, but I'm open to the possibility that's just because I don't understand the hype. Time to give it a shot I guess.

Edit: nah, not for me. Cool monster designs though.

No denying it's been underwhelming. Dave the Diver is a pretty good catch this month though (I assume from its reputation, I haven't played it).

The most recent detective game I played (if it qualifies as such for you) was Paradise Killer, which surprisingly I enjoyed quite a bit. Again though, the lore has close ties to the interpersonal relationships of all the characters on the island.

Pleasantly surprised for Deliver Us Mars. Deliver Us the Moon was a really immersive, entertaining journey.
