The PS5 controller's battery life sucks. I think I'm only getting around 8 hours with it.

Yeah, it’s definitely on the short side. It sucks that the cable is so short as well. Makes it difficult for me to play while it’s plugged in.

Well, that went down the drain too. Now the eldest seems sick. Not much, but enough to not risk going. Bollocks  Hrm

That sucks.

Damn son, that was quite a roller coaster ride you took me on there. Glad it all worked out.  Disneyland in California?

Yes, it's surprising how exhausting such a day can be.

And no, California is Disneyworld.   We're going to Disneyland in Paris.  Still great though.

I am only being a pedant on this because I used to live less than 7 minutes from it -- and jogged by it every afternoon.

The original Disney themepark in Anaheim, California is Disneyland:

Pedantry acknowledged.  I didn't know there was a park in California.  I read your post and my brain filled in 'Florida' because that's where I know Disneyworld to be as I visited it a long time ago.  The one in Paris is called Disneyland too, although it originally opened as EuroDisney.

That's cool. Just never confuse California for Florida again!  That's like mixing up Belgium and Portugal.

Splatoon 3 test fire is today for the next few hours. The demos on the eshop.

I finished The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles last night. Epic game, about 90 hrs in total but I still have extra bits to play.

If you ever thought they couldn't make a story or characters to rival the Phoenix Wright games, I'd say you're wrong.

The only real negative about the game is a lack of voice acting.

And it can be a bit long winded. Trying to play both games back to back, felt like it would never end.

Excellent visuals, music, characters, story etc.

Don't know how Shu Takami does it. Somehow the plot is so tightly woven with endless twists and turns, only to make total sense in the end.

There were a few story aspects I felt were predictable... up until the point where they flipped the tea table and genuinely surprised me.

Never been to Disneyland but Disneyworld is pretty cool. Hollywood Studios is by far the best park.

Well we've been enjoying some positively Mediterranean temperatures, so any mix-up would be easily forgiven

Only over 4 hrs left till the Splatoon 3 demo ends!

So far it's good, ridiculously fun, same as the previous two.

Not getting anything new out of the basic spaltfests. Could of just kept adding maps to Splatoon 2.

Of course they keep tinkering with the subs and specials in a sometimes pleasing and sometimes annoying ways. Wish they would add things, not take away. Still miss my beloved seeker.

Still wish you could just choose your own sub and special. The tank is awesome though.

Okay, I'm done but there are still 4 hours left.

Demo doesn't allow you to play story or Grizzco.

Game balance is similar to Splatoon 2.

Wide open levels that favour machine guns. I had a roller and could basically do nothing against a blaster. Endlessly dying.

There's no special or sub to counter this like the first game, where you could initiate a bubble shield or Kraken.

Best special is the tank. Crazy fun.

Levels are too open and not much decent cover or choke points to use gatlings for instance.

It's still fun when you're winning but I'm still dying for my favourite combos from Splatoon 1 to come back.

I need my seeker + aerospary or seeker and carbon roller. Or splat roller and kraken.

Hydra splatling and bubble shield. My play style was lightning fast get behind enemy lines, or choke point defend.

With most levels in Splatoon 2 and seemingly 3, its open run about and longest range machine gun wins most of the time.

Meh.

This game looks bonkers! Love the Bioshock vibe. I hope it turns out to be a great game.

I'm nearly half-century old (49 tomorrow). December will feel like it's here in about 15 minutes. Nyaa

I really hope this turns out great as well. It'll give me a reason to play my XSS this fall.

Oh BTW, I was thinking of starting Xenoblade 2 again and wanted to use the Mclassic on it as it looks terrible on a 4ktv.

Till now the Mclassic has been upstairs hooked up to retro consoles and unused.

Anyway, plugged it in and played Splatoon 3 and Asphalt 9 and it actually surprised me. Definite sharper, cleaner image.

I have a better 4ktv and the one I used was the bad one. It looked better on the bad one through mclassic than on the good TV, without mclassic.
