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.

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.

Yes, I love my aeropress!! With enough dialing in I can usually make a better cup of coffee with a pourover setup that better expresses the differences of specific beans. But the aeropress makes a darn good cup of coffee every time without going through all that hassle. I use mine almost daily.

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.

Melons and squashes (inc. pumpkins).

I believe the idea is to allow you to roughly evaluate the density of the produce, to avoid e.g. mushy grainy watermelon or weird squashes that don’t have their expected hollowness.

My entire family “Yello”s!

I answer my phone with it all the time and nobody’s ever commented.

Cool, thanks for the rec! I love when series do a good job of bringing multiple story threads together in a satisfying way.

Sci-fi is a genre of K-drama I’ve never engaged with, but your description of “Sisyphus” has me intrigued! I’ll have to check it out next time I’m on Netflix.

Writing this down for later, thanks!

How is the OSX and iOS support for Keepass nowadays? Are there desktop and browser clients for OSX, and what’s the autofill situation like?

Keepass was the first password manager I used and I really liked it, but I had to switch when I started using Apple devices for work a few years back, and the lack of platform support there was a nonstarter.
