My dad is very stuck in his ways. I was hoping to travel with him once he retired but he never wanted to.
I spend a lot of time with him but I feel like being around him constantly is going to make it devastating when he goes.
I bought Nier Automata on Switch at the beginning of summer, only started playing this week. And then only about an hour. I didn't know much about this game, other than that it looked like something I'd want to play. Turns out it's some kind of action game/bullet hell hybrid? It's pretty cool, although the button mapping seems odd? It reminds me of PN.03 a bit in that your character looks very cool and nimble, but actually controls a bit slow and not very fluently.
What also struck me is how dated it looks. Granted, it released 8 years ago, but even as a Switch game it looks old. And it seems to take itself very serious as well. As someone who's always been predominently a Nintendo gamer, it's like stepping into a different reality where games are serious and much less colourful.
Use the Switch 2 button remapping feature. It's great.
I especially hate the run button being mapped to pressing the left stick in.
I've been watching Cyberpunk videos and trying to grab all the unique and free gear. Whilst finding someone these locations is fun, often the item in the video isnt there and its something random.
Feel a bit cheated by these youtubers
Finally wrote my Mario Kart World review. I did finish DK today, will do a review later this week. Great game, don't think it ever reaches the highs of Mario though.
I mentioned that my sister borrowed my PS5 and my copy of Kena Bridge of Spirts a couple weeks ago. Well, she finished that game yesterday. She said she really liked it, but the difficulty spikes were too much even on Story mode and she would never want to replay it again. She usually replays her games multiple times through (she's beaten PS4 Hogwarts Legacy five or six times all the way through, for example), but not Kena. Nope. Nada. She's done with it forever.
Since I had the PS5 version of Hogwarts Legacy installed, she decided to check it out just to see the graphical differences before returning my PS5. Big mistake. She's playing it on Fidelity mode at 1080p and she went on and on last night about how there's so much more in the PS5 version, more people, more elves, more furniture, more reflections, better animated pictures and the lighting looks so much better. She said, "OMG! There's so much missing in the PS4 version! I had no idea!"
Well, it seems I'm not going to get my PS5 back anytime soon. She's requested another couple weeks to play through Hogwarts again with a new character. Maybe I should just upgrade to the Pro and let her have it? $700, though. *sigh*
This cannot stand.
Rinse it out with Mountain Dew.
Oh, no! I'm not falling for that one again.
Raid her house.
This cannot stand.
I was excited till I read the max card size is 2tb.
Micro SD express already has the same capacity. It's the price that's eye watering, even for the 1tb model.
I finished Metroid Prime this past week. I enjoyed it so much that I started a new game and played it with my brand new, totally awesome Pro Controller 2.
Kirby Air Riders Direct tomorrow. 6 am PT/9 am EST/2 pm BST. 45 minutes long.
Going to finish Phantom Liberty next then go back for multiple endings.
Im now stacked with some of the most powerful weapons. So I've been mostly getting into improbable gun fights with mechs and 20+ assailant to see what I can get away with.
There was a gang fight on a highway. I stood back and used a rocket launcher but the enemies were never ending. Turned out I had killed a few cops by mistake and the highest alert was issued.
I jumped in my mobile tank militech vehicle and it was destroyed within a minute. I had to do an improbable jump off a bridge to hide out on a rooftop.
Meanwhile, somehow my rocket arms have been destroyed or disabled by a mech in Dogtown. I didn't even know this was a thing, unless its bugged out.
Who asked for this?If this was some part of ultimatum from Sakurai to make more Smash...

There's a way to unlock true pointer controls, I tried it and its very cool. But im saving it for a 2nd playthrough.Said with a smile on his face, it doesn't matter about hospital or if I die, what matters is the cat is taken care of.
