If Switch 2 has a 120fps screen, Nintendo may be targeting a locked 40fps fidelity mode like in Ratchet & Clank PS5..Hogwarts Legacy also has a 40fps Balanced option that only show up when playing on a 120fps display; this is what I've been using and it looks and feels much better than 30fps. Digital Foundry did a video explaining it:

That's a very good point.  I can already hear people moaning about games 'only' being 40fps though.  LOL

I've heard a rumor that the Switch 2 will make grilled cheese sandwiches.

Kaitlyn Dever got the role of Abbie for season 2 of The Last Of Us. That's a really odd choice. The woman is only 5'2. Same height as the actress who plays Ellie, and actually looks a bit thinner.

I think the first season was at its best when it kept the theme of the source material, but went its own way. But a lot of the reason Abbie is seen to be as formidable as she is was due to her size, or at least how much bigger she was than Ellie. I didn't expect them to find some jacked up pro wrestler, but maybe someone with some height? Maybe they're going to go and do something radically different for season 2. Right now, I am scratching my head a bit.

There are a few things I miss about where I used to live.  This place is one of them:

https://www.castlepark.com/things-to-do/thematic-areas/Mini_Golf

I used to play miniature golf there (two rounds) every Sunday - I arrived with the staff to avoid paying for parking (why I was so cheap I don't know). At the time they also had a brilliant video game arcade.

It was an incredible place to golf, four different 18 hole courses.

I don't remember playing mini golf in real life. I lack the proper athleticism.

I played some mini golf a few times many years ago in my younger days. Very much enjoyed it.

Unlike regular  golf, if you have a bad day on the range you can more easily joke it off as "Well it's just miniature golf!"

I've been playing video game golf since the TRS-80 days (that has to be early 80's) so when I play real golf  IT IS SO FRUSTRATING because in my head I know exactly what I should be doing and the results never match up.

The real question is why did he leave it if it had such great mini-golf courses?

In short, to leave my family, but ostensibly for a woman. Moved when I was 16, married at 19, divorced at 21.  It fucked me up for a few years, but I stayed in the States as by then I loved the US.

I kept scrolling thinking that I didn't see the correct video. Now I want a Weird Al Mario. Maybe he would be better suited to be Luigi alongside Captain Lou's Mario.

Better quality of life down under is why I moved back -- probably could/should have moved to a more chill place in the States. I was seriously burnt out in my career, it was getting ridiculous.

Conversation last night with my daughter about a promotional item sent to me when I was in Club Nintendo (you may remember it from this blog post in 2009)
http://thevgpress.com/#!/blogs/this-hat-is-not-a-hat_1005.html


Where did you get that Mario Hat?

It's not a hat, it's an interior accessory.

Where did you get it?

Nintendo

Why?

Because I was a good customer.

Did they make Luigi hats?

No.

Oh.

How do you know about Luigi?  [the only mario game she has played was Mario Kart when she was 2]

The movie.

I remember that hat. It was too small for an adult, so I gave it to my son and he wore it for a Mario Halloween costume when he was 4 years old.

And fun fact? That little bastard is graduating highschool in 5 months.
