Snow Day Post #2

Posted on by

 

Hi! We just got hit with yet another snowstorm, and, honestly, I’m happy to have the snow, but I’m getting a little sick of doing remote learning days.

On an unrelated note, this is the first snow day we’ve had in a while that’s actually snow and not just sleet and ice. For the first time in forever, I could make a snowman, go sledding, have a snowball fight, etc. It was a great change of pace.

Anyway, after playing in the snow, I decided to make a marshmallow cake. It’s safe to say I failed miserably. I filled a glass tin with Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Cream and chocolate bars. Next, I stuck it in the microwave…for five minutes. When it came out, it was charred, but it tasted really good. Kind of like a burnt s’more. The cleanup was horrendous, though.

I’m still not sure how I managed to burn it. I probably never will be. In fact, the only thing I learned from this experience was to never microwave marshmallows. Other than that debacle, my day was pretty great.

Thanks for reading, and have a great day!

Mario Kart World Review

Hi! This is a review of the new Mario Kart game for Switch 2. I love this game, and I’m so excited to share it with you.

I love this game, and it’s so much fun to play with your friends! The outfits are super cute, and the new game mechanics are awesome. I love being able to drive on walls, roam around this well-developed world, and do knockout tours solo or with friends.

There are so many small details that make the world building incredible, such as stars falling from the sky and NPCs reacting when you go past them. In particular, I love that towns aren’t built around the race track and are instead filled with winding roads and easter eggs. Also, the inclusion of the restaurants and the detail that each one serves a different type of food really makes it seem thoughtful.

The level designs are enchanting, and the variety of obstacles still astounds me. It’s an incredible experience, and I recommend it to both new and returning players. The character models and gameplay show such intricate attention to detail. Overall, I’m really impressed by this game.

That being said, I do wish a couple of the features were more intuitive, such as the ability to drive on walls. I know this is a small thing and very persnickety of me, but I could see it making it hard for new players (or returning ones!) to unlock the full potential of this game.

All in all, this is a great game. I think you should play it at least once, since it’s an innovative spin on the classic Mario Kart game. Even if racing games aren’t your cup of tea, you should give them a shot.
