Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Shredder’s revenge

I started playing TMNT: Shredder’s revenge ❤️on nintend switch.

TMNT used to be my favorite cartoon growing up. I am enjoying the game, it is giving me huge 90s nostalgia feels :) .

I am replacing CoC, Squad busters and other online social games with console games in an attempt to spend more time playing/completing console titles that have been idling in my to play list.

Political scene in US is a mess!

I don’t like to get into politics, heck as an immigrant I don’t even have my skin in the game. It is sad that people resort to violence to resolve differences 1 🤦

I always thought America to be a rational country. Even if people supported a particular party they would still appreciate when a good idea comes across even if it coming from the opposition party.

But lately, I am seeing it turn into vendetta politics, which is sad. I was seeing this happen while in TamilNadu, and it is happening again here. Media outlets and social media don’t seem to helping this cause either.

It has become more challenging than ever when it comes to trusting news articles, more so when it comes to politics.

{
..
"runtimeArgs":["--disable-web-security"]
}
