Why are you taking the vaccine so soon after you've had the virus itself? You should be immune from infection for awhile yet. Uneasy

I hope you improve soon, though.

Took 24 hours for the symptoms to subside. Now I just have tender biceps wtf. And coughing, higher than usual temperature.

No way am I taking the vaccine, but I live in a place that had zero COVID so understand my experience doesn't apply to people in urban environments.

Okay, I have sort of found a hardware accessory that was successful. The Motion Plus adapter for the Wii. It's all over a million units during the first month it was out. And while I can't exactly track down reliable sales data, Wii Sports Resort sold 33 million copies and required motion plus. I know eventually the technology was built into later wimotes, but I think we can assume at least half of those sport resort purchases used the adapter. And I'm sure some households got more than one. So we can maybe estimate 15 to 20 million?


anyway, that I'll literally means nothing since it's pure speculation, but it gives me a tiny bit more hope that there may be an adapter for the current docking station.

That's surpising. I had one, don't think I've ever used it.

I guess the Wii was so strong that any attachment or accessory sold gangbusters.

I'm still sour that they sold the Motion Plus adapter as DLC instead of including it from the start.  Prototypes of the Wiimote were about an inch longer than the final product and I can definitly picture Nintendo deciding to ditch some functionality late in development to keep the console's RRP down.

I have made that exact point here many times and have the photographic proof from early promotional materials that show that nintendo removed tge plus functionality.

There may be more, but I can only think of a handful of big games that used Motion Plus - Wii Sports Resort, Red Steel 2, a Tiger Woods golf game, Skyward Sword and Wii Play: Motion (and honestly I'm not sure I'd consider that last one a big game). And if I'm remembering correctly, I think Red Steel 2 missed the launch date by several months, which kind of killed a lot of the interest in the game because it missed out on all the Motion Plus hype.

I played God Hand before and it doesn’t really look like anything I remember from it but I’m going to say God Hand.

it's not powerstone, but powerstone?

Looks like a Dreamcast game, in any case.

Woo hoo! I knew it had to be something crazy like that. Been too long since I played that game, couldn’t quite recognize the characters there.

Seems like we're nearing the end of MHW:Iceborne content.  Only the  2 last elderdragons left.  It's been very enjoyable, but I don't see how people can rack up 500+ hours playing this.  I've played about 160 hours and I have all the gear I want and see little incentive to keep on playing after having seen all the content.

Dang, wish I knew that Roblox was going public. That gave his quietly become as big as minecraft. My son and his friends use it for playing and socializing. Kind of almost how MMOs were treated years ago. But now it's for a young audience. Guess I'll keep it on the radar see where it goes.
