Speaking of light novels, I have a New Year's resolution to finish 100 volumes of novels in 2019! These will primarily be light novels, though any novel will count.

This thread will track my progress!

Been playing a good amount of Slay the Spire 2 lately and got this gem of a relic bar #slaythespire2

Aren’t there a bunch of anime about “religions” that are basically just glorified computer programs?

Now that it's officially okay to do Super Bowl halftime shows in a non-English language, I vote for next year's halftime show to be BTS, Blackpink, Rosé, or some other major K-pop performer.

Or to be really spicy, Hololive.

@thetangles I... have my issues with the Academy so I'm not sure I want to see that 😅

[Team Star Grunt #29 @stardf29]

@thetangles I think that is hard to do with a creative medium like anime without feeling like an awards show. It's just not really suited to a real-time test of execution format like sporting events are. E-sports would be the closest thing we have right now.

It’s up to Ike and his small band of soldiers-for-hire to restore peace to the seven kingdoms in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, available now on #NintendoSwitch2 for #NintendoSwitchOnline + Expansion Pack members.

[Team Star Grunt #29 @stardf29]

Can't believe Nintendo dropped Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance onto the Switch 2 Online Gamecube Classics selection earlier this month and just... never said anything about it.

Lacking the equipment is one thing, but lacking the skills? There’s only one thing to say to that:

Skill issue.

YouTube's CEO says the platform will proceed with expanded AI moderation tools despite recent backlash

Neal Mohan added that AI will enable a "new class of creators" who previously lacked the skills or equipment

*names movie after Super Mario Galaxy*

*poster is based on a locale from Super Mario Odyssey*

I mean, I thought this part of the trailer was awesome, but using it as a poster image is definitely a bit weird.

So I did some 6-letter words with the NYT custom Wordles, but they can also be 4-letter words. Are those easier because they're shorter, or harder because of more possibilities and you get less info per guess? Why not try one out:

Not sure how long I'll do these "custom Wordle of the day" for but here's another one to try out, with a word that probably won't be used for an official Wordle:

[Team Star Grunt #29 @stardf29]

For the record, I checked and the Wordle puzzle maker will *not* let you use a combination of letters that is not on their word list.

So yes, according to the NYT, this *is* an official English word.

Going a bit of a different direction for today's custom Wordle:

Today's custom Wordle is brought to you by the recently-announced Mega Baxcalibur:

Apparently you can create your own Wordle puzzles now, so...

This is in honor of the newly revealed Mega Chimecho. Does the word have something to do with that? Perhaps.

It’s too late for it this tear but next year I absolutely am dressing up as Mega Starmie.

@thetangles Wait, you’re not supposed to start at one corner of the triangle and work your way to the other?

@GamesAndGod Mario Kart World. Over 300+ amazing remixes of songs across Mario history, and the new songs are amazing too.
