We have shed the heavy shells we once crewed, and now roam the stars unencumbered.

An oddly specific thing about Tetris 99: the format and presentation look exactly like how Puzzle Pirates did its naval battles (except using Tetris instead of clones of Puzzle Bobble and Super Puzzle Fighter).
I know of a few people that this appeals to specifically, and I kind of wonder if Nintendo hired them or any former Three Rings employees.

Nintendo: Here are games where you can be a Yoshi. Here is a game where you can give gifts and belly rubs to your friendly neighborhood dragon. Here is a glorious remaster of your favorite childhood game. Fire Emblem now has deep character customization. Oh, and Tetris now has 99 players, because why not.
I... huh.

... they’re remastering Rune Factory 4, and that means getting an updated version of Ventuswill. Eeeeeeeeee
Also, that was an end-to-end spread of games that I’m all interested in playing, time permitting. Huh.

A possibly related phenomenon is called crown shyness – certain species of trees will very politely avoid overshadowing each other in a forest canopy, leaving gaps between each others' branches.
Mostly trees of the same species will do this, but different species of tree have been observed doing this too.
Again, no one's entirely sure how the trees do this, and some botanists are probably arguing about it somewhere right now.
more on Warframe Fortuna, mild spoilers
In a game that is 95% about things being loud and shooty, someone decided “what if we made this into a nature documentary that you can play”, and I think that is wonderful.
Warframe for Switch added a mechanic where you can save fuzzy woodland creatures and be rewarded with virtual plushies, and now my game’s Orbiter is a giant plush pile.

We know the lizard and cry with glee. You know the lizard and dance with pride. The lizard hears you but does not moan.

Don't forget to take care of the beacons of happiness in your community.
And the people who are there to cheer you up.
And the people who are there to listen to your ill.
They do need care too, but are often forgotten or overlooked, because they seem happy/strong/good. Truth is, they have their own struggles and if you don't take care if them, they are gone, eventually.

Been thinking ‘bout them c h a r r lately. So here are some studies of one of my dudes. Actually extremely happy about that foot study. I want to draw more cat monsters so I’m offering a small markdown on any commission that features charr in it! #GW2fanart #mastoart

Seattle folks, don't rely on GMaps when driving around today. Take roads you are familiar with that don't have steep hills. If you do start sliding, remember not to lock your brakes.

inferring spelling from phonetic feature sequences zoomed along the timeseries axis. (basically, smooshing and stretching the sound of the word and getting the neural network to try to spell out the sound)

The sky is made of light. The tree is made of light. We are all made of light and it's just so just perfect.
