Why is the eshop such crap? I can't even find demos to play. I type in "demo" and nothing. When I booted up the Switch 2 this morning there was an advertisement for free games to play and I assumed they would be in the eshop. Theres no indication of where to find them. I could have clicked on the banner but I guess I just assumed Nintendo would have made it easy to find on their eshop.
What if I like monkey butt? Who are you to judge me?
I’ve been playing Death Stranding 2 this weekend. Love the whole shared world aspect of these games. Building and repairing various structures that can help both you and other players feels good. So what have you porters been playing?
No judgement at all. To each their own, say I.

I've been playing between 36 to 72 rounds of golf this weekend on EA PGA Tour 23. I also spend a bit of time with Dirt Rally 2.0 and Gran Turismo 7.
Go to search, scroll down to filtered search, check demo box.Returnal: it's a nice take on the Dungeon Crawler genre. Unfortunately it's just too long for its level of difficulty. It took me about a dozen tries before I finally had a successful run at making it to the first boss. That one run took an hour, and I came up short. Since it's a Dungeon Crawler, I pretty much have to do all that again. And I think I'm past the days of where I to spend an hour working my way to a boss, only to die and have to do it over again.
Sackboy's Big Adventure: this might be the most textbook example of playing it safe. There was nothing really bad about it, but I didn't think there was anything good about it either. In fact, I actually got kind of pissed off about how basic this game really was. Not a single risk or new idea anywhere to be found. This was actually my second attempt at the game, and I made it further than I did the first time, but this is just too boring to keep playing.
So I pretty much gave up on the new games, actually and went back to some old favorites. I spent some time streaming and finished. We love katamari, and played some of Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends. The Rayman games were a hell of a lot more popular than I expected, and I've enjoyed playing them, so I'll probably stick with them for a while.
And last but not least, I also started playing fortnite again. After some fairly lengthy Story-Driven open world games, it's nice to just play something simple and stupid like this. And I'm definitely enjoying that.
I had a lot of fun with the Switch 2 this past week. I played a bit of Mario Kart World, Tears of the Kingdom and Split Fiction. Good weekend for gaming.
Messing about in photo mode is fun when you learn you can turn off collision detection and fly your camera inside someone's nostril.
Also if you turn up the camera speed you can soar to the skies for huge statues and cityscapes.
This game sometimes boggles the mind how everything is seamless.
I'll be driving about, then enter a skyscraper, get the elevator to the top, go inside some fancy ass apartment, then out onto the open balcony with swimming pool and look down to the street where I just came from.
It's something we have in real life that we take for granted, but occasionally I'll remember how games never used to do this and its amazing.
Every shop, underground area, every building, apartment, garage, open plain is all seamlessly connected.
And some are saying its a soft confirmation of Delta Eater on Switch 2.
They seem to have the devkits and said that any 60fps Xbox Series S games should easily port to Switch 2.
And that 30FPS Series S games should port well if they are GPU bound.
They say CPU games will be trickier but will require more optimisation.
Don't know if I could cope with a long haired dog that rolls in mud anytime it sees it.I watch one on YouTube who rolls in pig shit and swims everyday in a fetid pool.
Now I have in total 45'000 mah of portable battery life.
Switch 2 battery is 5220 mah and gives 2 to 6.5 hrs.
So I have 8.6x as much extra battery over Switch 2.
So I've got between 17 to 56 hours of extra battery life using Nintendo suspicious figures.
And that figure doesn't include the actual battery already in switch 2.
The problem? The 20'000 mah battery can't positively charge switch 2 whilst playing it. Need to test the two 10'000 mah ones.
Otherwise I'll have to use one battery to feed the one that does actually positively charge it.
My dog is finally stinky free. My house, on the other hand, still has a mild smell even after cleaning, deodorizing and opening the windows.
Note to self: ALWAYS check the yard before letting the dog outside in the morning.
Speaking of battery life, I found out yesterday that my Pixel 6a phone may have a defective battery. It's been working just fine, but Google is sending out a mandatory system update tomorrow. If mine has a defective battery, my phone's battery life will be signifcantly reduced until I can get the battery replaced for free.
I may ditch the phone and go back to Motorola; I never had any issues with their phones.
You had to dodge whales in the ocean. Could have been epic.
When the last whale crashed down it impacted the ocean surface, sending out huge waves with physics.
Felt like Wave Race.
I feel like we need a new wave race based on MKW ocean bits.
I just learned my new battery has trickle charging.I googled it but I'm still confused. Why would you trickle charge headphones and smartwatch s as the manual says?
