Dear Readers,

The title screen now greets me with Mario screaming the title of the game and an instrumental version of "Jump Up, Super Star!". I started up the Odyssey for the first time and headed to the Sand Kingdom with Cappy.

60 kirby planet robobot - improving level 1 and 2 times in meta knightmare, checking out ophelia tree damage

Dear Readers,

Public transport services came back so I decided to head out and look at the damage caused by Ophelia. It was no longer a category 3 hurricane by the time it got to us, but it still did a lot of damage, especially to trees. While commuting I played Meta Knightmare Returns again to improve on my times and for fun.

Dear Readers,

Hurricane Ophelia weakened but it left me without electricity and internet for a couple of days. I spent one of the dark nights playing Berzerk for the Atari 2600 on my Atari Flashback Portable while listening to a battery powered radio.
