I...Colorful kid-friendly games is kinda the shtick; Pokopia, Kirby Air Riders, and Bananza are the primary reasons to buy it, and Prime 4 response is sort of polarizing if that was a draw for you. I personally got it for Pokopia, which is very good. Not
$519$569 good, IMO, nor something that's probably going to change your mind if you don't buy into the mashup of Pokémon + Minecraft + Animal Crossing + DQB. But as someone who plays things at a glacial pace due to kids, it still has me hooked over a month later.Switch 2 itself is a nice piece of hardware. Screen is way better, even though it isn't OLED, and the mouse features are a little clumsy to detach from the controller grip to spontaneously use but otherwise integrated well. Everything feels like a good upgrade over the Switch - I'm going to homebrew mine - but I doubt the console will spark your interest if you aren't about the games themselves.

I do be taking my keelhaul now, which is throwing some dubloons at the game, speaking me apology here in pirate speak, and walking the plank.
...Though, I'm surprised they fit Pirates! Gold on the Sega Genesis? I think I'm gonna give that a try.

Comment on Your favourite karaoke songs? in ~music
Lapbunny LinkUnfortunately a lot of karaoke places use kinda outdated catalogs that appeal to like gen x or boomers, if they don't have YouTube available for the background. But in that vein: Georgia by Boz...Unfortunately a lot of karaoke places use kinda outdated catalogs that appeal to like gen x or boomers, if they don't have YouTube available for the background. But in that vein:
-
Georgia by Boz Scaggs is a great warmup song. Nice range.
-
The entire Queen and Steely Dan catalogs.
-
You Make My Dreams Come True and Rich Girl by Hall & Oates.
-
Faith by George Michael.
-
Bunch of David Bowie fits my range, but Heroes in particular.
-
Lot of songs from the musical Chess. Musicals in general, really.
-
A bunch of anime openings if you just have YouTube on a TV and a bunch of weebs. Totally not speaking from experience with an anime club here.
-
You need to slip some buttrock in to force people's worst Chad Kroger impressions in.
-
Ocean Man, take me by the hand.
-
Last two I went to had Welcome to the Black Parade and What's Going On? as the showstopping closers. Bunch of drunk nerds going HEYYYAAAYAAAAYYAYAY. Great choices for that.

But a lot of the quarter munchers get more fondly looked upon after someone let you hit the coin button yourself - or at least when they started charging you up front on consoles - so you could see how much was excellent game design and how much was trying to wring your wallet out. I love Metal Slug! I also continued 53 times on the PS2 version of 3, which I rented from Blockbuster for $5. Likewise, at least for Umamusume, I'd much more universally suggest anyone play it a couple decades into the future when someone hacks the client/server software and there isn't a Cygames that cares about that.

I think it's an extremely interesting way to tell all sorts of sports narratives, has the most charming cast I've ever seen in a Japanese franchise, conveys the love and humanity of an extremely niche sport to a broad audience, and contrasts this mix of sports and slice of life sweetness against one of the sweatiest roguelike PvP spreadsheet RNG deathmatches you could imagine. It's one of the most Japanese things I've seen in my life, and I think its global success in the face of something so impenetrable is bizarrely entertaining. I'd recommend the BoaNE movie in particular to just about anyone who likes animation or sports movies.
It's also a mobile gacha game. Any game that's designed with it in mind should never downplay it as a genre because minimaxing financial cost is inseparably baked into the game design, IMO, and not doing so kind of feels like a cognitohazard.

Comment on Finnish driver Juha Miettinen has died after a seven-car crash during the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie – race had received wide interest due to Max Verstappen's participation in ~sports.motorsports
Lapbunny LinkThis is horrible. I've heard the crash was related to an oil slick at Steilstrecke, which is the hard hairpin turn at the end of this long flat-out stretch. From my admittedly limited experience...This is horrible. I've heard the crash was related to an oil slick at Steilstrecke, which is the hard hairpin turn at the end of this long flat-out stretch. From my admittedly limited experience of sim racing, you're basically flat-out right before the turn to reach max speed, if not close, and I cannot imagine how awful a crash would be losing your stopping power here.

Obviously there were some occasional problems with people gaming this or playing to the crowd, but it was hella fun. Lots of theme weeks and debauchery.
Obviously this is harder on the scale of tildes (forum was like ~40 people with 7-8 participants) but I imagine someone could find some neat ways to do something like that here. Just a thought!

I actually watched a metric shitload of stuff with an anime club in college, and even ran it for two - good group of people, and we curated it well to do good crowd watch stuff at first before tapering off into the more niche stuff. Zero regrets, of course, I watched a lot of formative stuff. But the second I dropped out of college it was really rare I'd actually stick with watching any anime. Even JJBA, which I've watched parts 1-4 a good 2-3 times very happily, I just kinda dropped in the middle of 6 and don't regret. Feel like I'll need to eat my veggies and finish it before I watch Steel Ball Run.
I think a lot of it comes down to formula? Not just genre or "the anime tropes" but that there's kind of an interplay there where people who "like anime" tend to like certain things; it's kinda baked into the demographic, and I feel like I've seen too many shows which didn't want to show something outside of what the audience expects to want. So I ended up with a massive distaste for shounen, and the second I hear people recommending certain things like JJK I completely tune out. It's zero judgement or offense intended towards anyone who likes them, of course, I know some of these shows are legitimately solid. I just can't.
Plenty of exceptions, though. Bocchi the Rock is the best fucking TV I've watched in like a decade; it got me to pick up the bass again. I also loved Umamusume: Beginning of a New Era last week, which is a wonderful movie about sports, self-doubt, and why racing throbs in certain people's hearts. Also, y'know, horsegirls.

When I was in high school I did tech help during the summer and on weekends. I charged $20 the first hour if I had to stay past like 15 minutes and like $10 every one after, so it was a nice bit of change to mess around with. I offered it for free for seniors, but a lot paid anyway. Clientele was pretty much always appreciative; one woman lost her husband and hired me to learn the internet and MS Word I think primarily for the company. Astounding amount of people still on Windows 98 and AOL in the year of our lord 2010.
Thinking about it, I probably should go self-employment again...
