GG I haven't been motivated to write about stuff anymore. I played a ton but now I am just like meh to everything. We are on the other side of my most hyped games so it's like a detox period. I have a zelda review half finished that I have been writing for three weeks. I am going to start a Pi thread as thats new.

I'm still loving it.  It makes every game pop just that bit more, making even the most basic mundane graphics come to life.  Even if I wouldn't prefer the 3D, I think for $30 I'd just enjoy having the option available to me.

Yeah I may still end up going with a New 3DS XL just to have the 3D option available at least.

Huh, it's funny I was playing Lego City today and the framerate was allright. I think maybe it was a combination of having dry eyes and blinking a lot paired with the framerate that made it look worse than it looked. It's still not ideal though.

Sorry GG, I've only done one review.  I consider writing some then chicken out because I feel my writing sucks.  Work has been super busy which is why my posting here has slowed.

Gamestop: Nintendo Switch Selling out in hours not days (Mario Kart Launch info)

Gamestop stores across the country may have gotten new shipments of the Nintendo Switch in advance of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe release, but if you didn't already know that probably missed them. Nintendo's new hybrid living room/portable console started flying off of store shelves on day one, and it shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon. It's good news for Nintendo, a company that badly needed a win with its core console business after the tepid response to the Wii U and good news for the Nintendo fans that have managed to get their hands on one of the things.

"It's exceeding our expectations," he said. "We knew it would be a high demand product, but our Switch allocations are selling out not in days, but in hours...the demand is so high that consumers have to react quickly to be able to get their hands on them."


And while specific predictions about future supply or demand are tough to come by, nobody seems to be banking on supply stabilizing any time soon. At this point, demand still seems to be riding a launch window peak where machines are selling out immediately, at least for all intents and purposes.


"Right now we're not seeing sales going down at all, and I would expect that to continue for quite some time," said Bright

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is already the best selling game of 2017 on Amazon

Higher than Zelda, higher than Horizon.


These are cumulative sales.

This is amazing. The tagline is going to be "Ni Hao, motherfucker"

First on set image.

So it's been about 7 weeks since we had a new blog or review and it seems like people are a lot less active than usual. What's up?

I don't know.  But hey, I'm still here.  Happy

I'm still here but I never posted any blogs or reviews.

I got blindsided with some bad stuff at work that's left me stressed out to the point where I rarely want to be social online these days. Keep hoping it'll pass, but it doesn't. Ughhhh.

Now that Vader has a raspberry Pi thread though, I might go ahead and resurrect my own.

I hope he gets an actual theatrical release, even if it is very limited. Something like Contra needs to be seen on the big screen.

Brought my desktop to a repair center today after having spent yesterday evening trying to fix it myself.  It was stuck in a startup repair loop, but with a bit of tinkering I now got it stuck in a horribly broken safe mode boot loop.  Yay.  Sad Lets just hope this thing won't cost me more than about €150...  Good thing I already bought my Switch, at least now I don't feel any misplaced guilt about the purchase.

Trans isn't a gender (for example, if you're mtf trans you would identify as female, not as trans), though other non-binary options are. Also unless you're referring to a transmission, it's probably best to pick another word.

On the chart, it'll be interesting to see the change in distribution all time. I suspect early adoption is skewed more male than the eventual demographics.

Ahhhh Puyo Tetris. That's a game on my list. Kind of would prefer to have it on a portable system, but since it's not on the 3DS, it's either way for a Switch or suck it up and enjoy it on the big screen.
