    Around this time of year, people who strung their Christmas lights the wrong way start wandering into hardware stores looking for what they later find out is often called a "suicide cable."

    I saw a tweet the other day about "how is it that every mainline Zelda is, at minimum, very good, whereas with other game series they run out of juice" and part of that answer has to be that it's the Same. People. Making. Them. for the last 40 years!

    PARENTS: If you're putting an Xbox Series X or S under the tree, remember this very important tip! BEFORE you wrap it up, take it OUT OF THE BOX, and TURN IT ON, and CONNECT IT TO THE INTERNET. Then let it download the SYSTEM UPDATE, then download BLINX: THE TIME SWEEPER
