Sony conference? Yeah very meh.
Sonic announcements, agreed.
I dunno, back to Sony, this could be considered the worst console generation for a long time.
Even though I am on holiday I've been doing little jobs around the house between the endless exercise, going to the beach etc... Yesterday I washed the outside ceilings (eaves or seifeting) of the moth eggs etc... which involved standing on a small ladder and leaning backwards, siedeways etc... scrubbing with a cloth. My back today is shot. Everytime I stand straight I collapse. (This is after a day of going to the beach and keeping up with my six year old).
It's so painful and frustrating. I guess it must have used muscles I have no other use for.
I looked up what pain medication to use, like the options are paracetamol and ibruprofen. Ibrofprofen the web explained how it worked. Paracetemol explaination was "Yeah we really don't know how it works" which was disturbing given how I chugged them hourly for years. God I'm an idiot when it comes to health.
What do you guys take for back pain?
I'm trying beer right now, while listening to C-SPAN and playing Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter. Not working so far.
While I have a weak back, I don't suffer from enduring back ache much. My left hip is slowly degrading though, so I'm expecting to need to have it replaced at some point, and younger than I'd feel comfortable with.
Back pain runs in the family though. I've heard best is to lie down on your back and not move. I've heard it's best to just keep moving about as you would normally. Basically nobody knows.
MonHun Wild releases in February. This will probably be the game to pull me kicking and screaming into current gen. With the game finally going fully cross platform I'm contemplating wether I should buy a PS5 or Xseries, or splurge on a gaming PC. I've never been a PC gamer, so I don't feel like spending that kind of money, but it seems that the consoles are already struggling to hit decent performance as is. Upshot is that if I buy a PC, I can call it a business cost and it'll only cost me about 40% after vat and tax reduction. So it's quite feasible I could build a console equivalent or slightly better PC for the same cost to me. On the other hand, if I get a PS5, it'll be my first Playstation console and I'll have access to a lot of Playstation exclusives from this gen and last.
I've still got 5 months to make up my mind. Knowing me I'll shrug off any performance doubts and just get a series S to save me some money and be able to subscribe to GamePass again should I ever feel like it.
You probably need a couple of days to recover. Also avoid dodgy seating.
If you've acutely injured your back or torn something you need to rest it. Lying flat or on a recliner and always using a heat pad, if it's muscular.
I found recently my sofa was basically collapsing at the back so seating it very important too.
I had total hip replacement at age 41 and it honestly changed my life. Before the surgery, I struggled to walked 15-20 minutes without resting. I walked about thirteen miles at Disney World a few months after the surgery. I still have issues here and there. I can never run again and I do have soreness and still limp from time to time, but I can only imagine it would be worse without. I will also have to replace this new hip in about 8-12 years.
I also have occasional lower back pain that I try to treat by going to the YMCA four to five days a week at about 5:15. I can manage to workout for about twenty five minutes before having to go back home and get ready for work. I do the elliptical and a couple of workout machines for my arms and back. Its not much but its something I suppose.
If you can't be bothered watching he says the memory has 5x the bandwidth of Switch 1 and 50% better than Steam Deck, he also says the GPU is better than steam deck though the CPU is weaker.
He uses the comparison of PS4 or XB1 to Switch saying Switch had half the RAM of those and slower RAM.
Whereas Switch 2 has two thirds of the RAM of PS5 and more than the Xbox Series S.
He says anything that runs on Xbox Series S should run on Switch 2.
He says if the system had launched a year ago or more, like it was supposed to, it would have been considered as very impressive.
Also Switch 1 firmware has changed in what appears to be a coding change to allow Switch 2 to run these games at higher settings. So backwards compatibility seems certain.

General opinion, also much of which comes from Moores Law as he's an Nvidia insider, or his sources are - is that Nintendo is going to clock the Switch 2 super low in mobile for battery life better than Switch 1.
My apologies to everyone around me in real life, but my car now has an obscenely loud exhaust system and everything about it is glorious. Until I inevitably get defected. Or a neighbour bashes me as retribution. Fair enough, I like to drive at night. Tinnitus and hearing loss are probably going to be side effects, too. Oh well, have you heard how effective hearing aids are these days?
Push Square had a poll up after the PS show and it seems most people there thought it was good to very good. *shrugs*
What Sonic announcements?
Two extra stength Tylenol is my go to meds for all pain. If that doesn't work I might add one Aleve a few hours later. If I can't sleep because of pain, I take two herbal caramels they sell here.
Edit: Ice packs as well.
Look at us youngsters. My hip isn't much of an issue... yet. While I'm no sports nut, I do play about once a week. Would hate to have to miss that.
I walked it off at the time, but the damage was a lot more serious than I realized. A few months later I was trying to play Ring Fit Adventure on the Switch, and I don't remember exactly what I was doing, but I put all my weight on the right leg, and I immediately fell on the floor. Even with low impact stuff like yoga, I can't balance in it. Anyway, I'm afraid my dreams at playing in the professional frisbee golf league are probably impossible now.
You've got legal marijuana, man.
There's a reasonably good chance Florida is going to get it this election cycle. Assuming of course our dumbass Governor who's doing everything in his power to prevent it from happening fails at something else yet again.
My knee pain was actually referred pain from my hip
I don't see SC ever going down that path. Our governor, Foghorn Leghorn would not allow it.
So I think that's basically the Switch 2 launch date.
Man, an eight year console cycle.
