While I was watching a review of the episode 6 of TLoU the reviewer pointed out that the kid Ellie yelled at in the mess hall might have been Dina.

Saw Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
 
 
I enjoyed it, but I do see the flaws. So far it's my third favorite post Endgame film. I can also confirm that Majors kills it anytime he is on screen. 
 
That said, you'd be fine to hold out for a matinee or D+. 

Took a chance and downloaded HiFi Rush for my laptop. It sure does kick the fans into overdrive, but it actually works! 

I honestly think dealers are killing the new Z. It’s a solid car at its msrp but nowhere close to that kind of markup. 
 
 
In regards to the e-ray, I actually like it more than the Z06. I’m not a fan of all the aero on the Z06 though I know I’m in the minority there. 

Ugh. I wish I hadn’t checked out Hifi Rush. It looks amazing, but it looks like it won’t come out on PS5 and the laptop I own isn’t made for gaming.

Neil Druckmann is using the series to correct the narrative mistakes of the game. He's really making the most of the second chance. 

I’m surprised I’m writing this, but so far I actually like the story of the series more than the game. I’ve liked the changes they’ve done so far. The series gives me hope that season 2 will be better than the game. I think that’s especially the case since when Last of Us was made, I don’t think they knew ahead of time there would be a part 2 and couldn’t integrate the story with part 1 as well. 

I was watching some speedruns through the combat sections of Last of Us Part 2. It made me think about how easily you would've been killed if someone hired a gardener to mow the grass you hide in.

Never got the chance to play the Metroid Prime trilogy. Now is as good as time as any to start

Just finished the latest ep of LoU.  They did a good job with the Brothers...I'd dare even say they made what happens worse.

That really sucks, guys. I was fortunate to get 15 copies myself. 

yeah I can confirm; Hogwart's Legacy on the ps5 has some truly incredible graphics...  
I'm still just scratching the surface; last night I did 2 main missions that are just "go to this class and learn the new spell" situations... and a sidequest where I battled some other students....so now I have that spell that lets me snatch things (or people) out of midair to bring them close, and a levitate spell.  

At long last, this was finally completed. It’s pretty freaking awesome. I’m going to have to put some earthquake putty underneath to prevent it from tipping if a quake hits. Ah the wonders of living in SoCal. 

I just started Hogwart's; creating my character now---  one great detail I notice right away in customization....the hair options.  Unlike most games, the various hairstyles actually look good and realistic in this!  It might take me awhile on this part of it because there's so many cool options to pick from here...
 
ah, so now, the adventures of the mysterious young mage "Nagraj Jambi" have begun.... 
 
*holy shit that opening segment just now...
**I prioritized the graphics for now (as opposed to "performance") and the visuals are insane right now
 
House Slytherin btw, of course.

I’m only on chapter 13, but I completely agree with those two points. I think the difference between the two main hubs is that the monastery felt more alive to me. The characters would talk about the events going on. Also, from what I remember the few activities available didn’t take too long and didn’t feel like a chore. I tried the strength training once and haven’t tried it again after that. 
 
I wish the game only let certain characters equip certain rings. That way the bond conversations could go into more depth. For instance, Marth’s conversation with Alear could focus on Alear learning more about her mother through Marth.

I'm actually enjoying Fire Emblem Engage. The improvement in presentation is substantial. The graphics are far better than Three Houses and the load times are much shorter. Playing on decent size 4K set. I don't see a much in the way of aliasing. Three Houses seemed to lack AA entirely. The frame rate is solid. Only time I notice anything is slight drop when transitioning from the overhead view to close quarters view for combat. Even then its may 2 or 3 frames. Story is bit more straight forward. The supports, that I've seen, seem to be the standard FE fare and to a good job of fleshing out the cast. There is twist in the story that I figured out well ahead of time. Honestly, now that I've gotten used to the artstyle, I only have two real complaints and a minor annoyance. The minor annoyance, unless I missed it, there is no real way to organize bond rings nor do I see any type of load out feature.
 
Somniel is boring. There is plenty of stuff to do there (Fishing, Exercise minigames, Wyvern Rider shooter, etc.), but after a few trips. It just felt like a chore to me. Which is weird because, I never got to this point the Academy in Three Houses.  The Bond conversations. (Emblem conversations) are just bad. It's feels like you are getting one exchange, out of larger conversation, with little context. Worse what little info you can glean from them requires knowledge of the Emblems game. Example: Dimitri has a line about lacking dexterity. Which is a throw a line unless you catch the reference to one of his Three Houses support conversation with Mercedes about sewing.

Some 12/13 year old kid told me she likes my Mustang. Let her get in and rev it a bit…honestly I think it made my day just as much as hers lol. A kid thinks my car is cool!?
 
Man I don’t think I can drive anything else. The best thing about my car is sharing the joy it brings me with other people. It’s great meeting people who love it just as much as I do 🙌🏽
