This is me as well. Love this game.
Finally got past the part that was holding me back on hardcore mode for RE4 now that I switched to normal mode. Normal still feels too easy though.
Did not have much time but played Slay the Spire, 198X (hit a wall with the Ninja Gaiden tribute level) and started Untitled Goose Game which I am playing with my daughter.
I'm going to persist with 198X, I get the feeling that the difficulty level combined with minmial checkpointing (and one hit kills) is only to artificially lengthen the game.
Played them back to back, 140 hours. I was feeling burnout on the final DLC case.
Epic Games though. Now I have to muster the will to replay the OG trilogy again. Capcom did a great job with these.
Also tested Okami HD.
Great port made better by OLED display. Turning the filter to low makes everything sharper, although Amaratsu still has this hazy look I don't like.
The ink brush motion controls actually work well.
Over 4000 games on sale.
Many, if not all of the same games by dev/publisher of Ganryu 2 are on sale super cheap.
Sigh, I need a terabyte micro sd.
Speaking of which, I've been quite reluctant to get into the deck building genre.
Have you guys tried them? Are they any good? I can't visually see what's so good about them.
Many people that I spoke to were excited to see the system, hyped over what Nintendo’s games were going to look like next generation, or ready to play more modern third-party games on what they assume will be their lead platform.
A few instances of confirmed dedicated support was also beyond promising to hear."

You remember this guy right?
Indiana Jones does, too, in the coolest ways. By reading books.
Slay the Spire gets credit for inventing the "run-based" deck building genre and while there have been many that followed in it's wake the consensus is that no-one has done it better so that's where I'd start.
Don't be put off by the "deck building" component aif it is not somethign you've done before -- it all happens organically, it's not like it's a task in teh game where you haev to stop and figure out some deck construction category.
Having played Magic the Gathering for decades, I was undoubtedly introduced to most if not all of the concepts prior (admitting this so I don't come off like, "You don't have to know anything about Poker to play Balatro-ish".
I also happen to be playing Tunic at the moment. I like the exploration and discovery, but I'm not really into the boss fights. It's good that there's an invincibility option available. I've used it for one section I didn't want to bother with.

Duplicate post? Not anymore.

Yeah, the diifficulty is more frustrating than fun for me. I'll have to try out that invincibility option when needed; I reduced the difficuilty and turned off the stamina depletion, which helps. I'm more into exploration and puzzles these days than fast-paced combat.
Reason seems to be more other sources will reveal info around then. So it will make it less obvious who he is around then.
Then multiple sources are saying that its been revealed early Jan.
One podcast leader with sources said something like "get ready to play modern AAA games on Nintendo in 2025.
Also on Resetera it was intimated by someone in the know that Witcher 4 and Okami sequel were coming to Switch 2.

Metroid Prime 4 confirmed for 2025.
So I started playing Borderlands2 with my eldest yesterday. I played through the game years ago in online co-op with my gaming bud and now my son chose the same character (Zero, the sniper. poor choice). Within 15 minutes I was having flashbacks to my original playthrough, as Zero would always pick off the easy targets I needed to get my second wind. I also one time shouted my gaming bud's name instead of my son's when I was in a pickle. I'm getting old, lol.
We also had to quit and restart the game once because of a glitch early on, where my snipin' son sniped all the baddies from a distance before the story elements could kick in, after which claptrap would remain cowering in a corner untill eternity as he was still expecting the baddies to come out and get him. You'd think stuff like that would have been patched out by now.
Such wild predictions! This man must really be in the loop.
Hey if you guys need a quote from a podcast leader, I'll say anything for a few "+" on a post.
