• 20:38 – The rain caused a mudslide while I was out on a run so I had to run home in my bare feet
• 23:37 – Sony showed off the new controller for the PlayStation 5. It’s ugly.

7:37 PMotritzu​And half of that is licensing fees.

7:37 PMjordan thompson​the world of nintendo Mario playsets seem more my type if I wanted something like this, you should take a look at those

7:41 PMNicholas Dickey​Do you think most of the other $60+ kits are overpriced as neat as the IP are?

7:46 PMotritzu​Yes, as someone who has stepped on legos before, you really wouldn’t want to go barefoot.
