Existing owners can upgrade to the Switch 2 version for $10, gaining better framerates, higher resolutions, and HDR support.

I didn't realize they had this option. As far as legal routes go, that's not terrible (assuming there's no weird downside, like no longer being able to play the original on the switch 1). Free would be better, of course, but $10 certainly beats paying $90 just to play the improved version on switch 2.

Tonkotsu ramen is absolutely a heavy, heavy ramen broth. There are a lot of hearty, umami, salty broths for Japanese ramen, but tonkotsu is certainly one of the densest in that way.

Sufjan Stevens is pretty amazing, and definitely a unique sound. If you like that sort of thing, I would also recommend Shugo Tokumaru. Sort of similar energy, just in Japanese.

Just one of those things kids learn at church, at least in the areas I grew up in. Kinda like the "cool S" but not quite as universally iconic.

OC Supertones and the Insyderz??? I didn't even bother mentioning those, but hell yeah those were my absolute jam!

I'm a former Christian, if that counts.

DC Talk - the album Jesus Freak is peak Christian Rock, but the earlier, hokey rap stuff was fun, too.

Five Iron Frenzy - ska band that I absolutely adored as a teen. Saw them live at a reunion tour a few years ago (as an atheist) and had a great time.

Audio Adrenaline - more Christian Rock, just a good all around band.

Relient K - really fun and melodic punk/alternative. Went more rock than punk over time, but always solid quality. They made one of the better Christmas albums on offer, too.

And just for fun, try singing Amazing Grace to the tune of Gilligan's Island!

Ooooooh. Interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah I guess I just meant like... logistically?

Ports of entry don't move, and shipping containers are huge. I'm probably just not thinking flexible enough.

is that even possible?

I was a sophomore in high school. A senior girl I vaguely knew but wasn't friends with, apropos of nothing, leans over to me and goes, "You're nice. I like nervous, twitchy virgins."

I don't know if I've ever been more baffled in my life. I don't even remember if I responded or what I did after that. I just remember thinking, "what the heck just happened?"

Oh. That made me uncomfortable. 😬
