Most of my weekend was spent at a bat sanctuary up in Gainesville. But that was fun. I also squeezed in just enough time to finish up Cult of the Lamb.

I'm also going to New Orleans later this week for the Anne Rice Vampire Ball. So probably won't be playing much of anything for a while.

I was citytripping to Dublin with my dad this weekend and thus haven't played anything.  Unless you count tectonic puzzles.  We've never went on a trip with the two of us before, and I'll be honnest, it was totally inspired by my own age as I start to more and more ponder the concept of mortality, both his and mine own.

Just read an article about, and was alerted to the existence of 'smartvapes'.  These are in essence cheap smartphones with a built in vape, aimed at younger users.  They can allegedly be used to make calls and play some games on, with some games apparently also incorporating vaping as a gameplay element.  Child protection over here is already ringing the alarm bells.

What horrible things these are, built to fully exploit those prone to addictions.  I wonder how long it'll take for these things to incorporate some kind of gacha not-legally-gambling elements.

I badgered my dad for years to travel with me.

We can barely get him out of the house.

Now he has bladder cancer.

That has to be the Switch 2 launch date.

Not greatly excited. Willing to pay Switch tax to play some games portable but full whack for this?

The graphics look the same, mostly and the Wii U version had very few flaws.

I’m starting to doubt that the Switch 2 will launch by then. I think that they’ll announce it around that time and launch the system in the fourth quarter of 2025.

I wonder if XCX can even run better than wii U.

That game had an optional HDD install. With switch's low speed RAM, would the textures suffer?

Yeah, this wait for the Switch 2 is getting excruciating.

Very interested in seeing how this will compare to the Wii U version. It looks like there will be some kind of extra content as it looks like there is some kind of hint to this at the end of the trailer.

The Firewall Studios, the team that made Concord, has officially been closed by Sony. So much for the idea that they were going to retool the game and make it free-to-play and microtransaction the fuck out of it.

Yeah, sucks for those getting let go but not a terribly surprising outcome these days.

Yeah, no shock that they're being disbanded. But I really did think they'd make a go with changing it around and getting some sort of F2P model out of the game, and try to recoup something. But if they're firing the whole team, guess that's not the case either. Sony is just going to eat it.

Thought they were going to at least take what they had retool it, repackage it, and put back out even call it something else and try to get something back out of it as well. Certainly doesn’t look like it now. Guess they deemed it to be throwing more good money after bad. Probably the right choice to be honest.
