Nothing exciting. Pretty mediocre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n<!--noteaser-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hello and welcome to a brief and diverse roundup this week. I\u2019ve been mentally exhausted this week as I\u2019m preparing to make a job change soon. This week has launched four video games I am very excited to play, <em>Metroid Dread<\/em> being chief among those. Super Monkey Ball makes its return with a remake of the classic games in <em>Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania<\/em>. <em>Tetris Effect<\/em> is finally home on Nintendo Switch <a href=\"https:\/\/wyomingjarbo.com\/blog\/2019\/02\/14\/tetris-effect\/#fn-2469-14\">something I said needed to happen a few years ago<\/a>. Finally <em><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jett:_The_Far_Shore\">Jett: The Far Shore<\/a><\/em> has been getting some high praise. So, I\u2019m excited for a bunch of new stuff while also avoiding finishing other things I\u2019ve started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s get to the roundup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">YouTube<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cGNJXDSBXaM?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This has been an internal philosophy of mine for the past few years. I\u2019d love to be able to have the time and to focus on other things in my life without the \u201cside-hustle\u201d culture associated with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/opinion\/articles\/2021-09-09\/twenty-percent-of-a-picture-of-a-dog\">Twenty Percent of a Picture of a Dog<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NFTs\u2026 are absolutely ridiculous. Owning shares of an NFT of a digital asset that you don\u2019t actually own sounds like some new fangled super wealthy elitist bullshit if I\u2019ve ever heard it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2021\/10\/facebook-instagram-whatsapp-and-oculus-are-down-heres-what-we-know\/\">Facebook and other properties went down<\/a> for about six hours this week. I think the antitrust crusade against big tech just got another arrow. The actual cause of the was just human error most likely. Twitter had a field day with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/Twitter\/status\/1445078208190291973\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve lost all hope of a more open and diverse web, as <a href=\"https:\/\/wptavern.com\/facebook-outage-rekindles-push-for-a-free-and-open-web?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=facebook-outage-rekindles-push-for-a-free-and-open-web\">others still hoping and calling for it<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a rel=\"tag\" class=\"hashtag u-tag u-category\" href=\"https:\/\/wyomingjarbo.com\/blog\/tag\/neat\/\">#NEAT<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe not so neat, but I don\u2019t know what category to put this in. Here is an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ewg.org\/interactive-maps\/pfas_contamination\/map\/\">interactive map showing  <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Perfluorooctanoic_acid\">PFAS<\/a> contamination. These are forever chemicals that never leave your blood stream known to cause cancer and other diseases. Oddly there are areas without data showing, wonder why? If you want to know more about this, there are movies like <em>Dark Waters<\/em> about DuPont and the legal evasion they went through to avoid accountability with contaminating drinking water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bVqMQSA0LZo?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, maybe not so neat\u2026 but a time-lapse video of COVID-19s spread and the flare-ups over the past two years. I really hope we\u2019re getting through the last surge of this pandemic. All I can do is hope. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Okay, this one is neat, I promise. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wolframalpha.com\/input\/?i=random+Pokemon+curve\">You can plot Pok\u00e9mon on a graph thanks to math and WolframAlpha<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Video Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rockpapershotgun.com\/konami-will-revive-metal-gear-solid-and-silent-hill-rumours-say?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+RockPaperShotgun+%28Rock%2C+Paper%2C+Shotgun%29\">Konami will revive Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hill, rumours say | Rock Paper Shotgun<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Konami might actually make video games again? Maybe they realize they could print money with some of their IPs. So many indie developers could do some cool things. Time will tell. I\u2019d love a new Castlevania but the Metroidvania market is somewhat tapped now, so they\u2019d have to do something new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Listening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CLtlMNC2g6Q\">Samus &amp; Chill<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like cool lofi beats? Like Metroid? This is for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background is-style-dots\" style=\"background-color:#5eff07;color:#5eff07\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s it for now. This is your annual reminder that Microsoft Excel is not a database. You\u2019ve been warned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you made it this far, the final character for <em>Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/em> was announced. Sora from Kingdom Hearts will be the final addition. I think it\u2019s a great ending character (even if I\u2019m not personally invested), but I will miss the hype around what will be one of the greatest video games about video games ever video gamed\u2026 I mean created.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trying to think of some new ideas for the roundup. Let me know if you have any. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This roundup is a normal one. Nothing exciting.
