Nintendo is going to keep supporting physical media for their next system. đź‘Ť I hope it's backwards compatible too.

That’s definitely good to hear.

Normally I don't care. But I have a ton of unplayed games I bought on savage discounts.

I just read that your normal micro sds won't be supported, only the new format micro express. The tweet said it would be limited to 256gb though.

In retrospect I wish I'd bought a 1tb card for Switch. I have three different micro sds and changing between them is annoying, as if remembering what game is on what card.

I also like the idea of DLSS being used perhaps to improve the resolution and framerates of Switch games. The Switch blur is getting old.

I didn't stay up late enough to see it. There was a chance as of midnight here, but I was too knackered.

I never saw it either, but apparently, all of my Facebook friends did.

Too far south for me to see it. I'd say that's why I regret living in Florida, but that's not accurate at all. I regret it for many more reasons. Just counting down the months now.

According to my local news, it could be seen in Colorado. I didn't go outside and check last night, though.

Just recently finished playing through Another Crab’s Treasure and I was pretty impressed with it. A good challenging game but not too difficult. Got some clever writing to it as well. Surprisingly really good Souls like game. A bit rough with some platforming sections and so me technical issues but isn’t too problematic.

Also played Little Kitty, Big City and a pretty enjoyable game as well. The city is actually pretty small but that’s good.

I want Little Kitty.

I think you would enjoy it. It is cute/fun doing a bunch of “cat things”. It’s not really complex or all that long though. Took me a little less then 10 hours to do everything. I played it through Game Pass so no real investment on my end. You may want to wait for a sale though.

Oh yeah it's way too expensive given what I normally pay for digital games.

I just started Another Crab's Treasure and am getting my ass handed to me by the first boss and it's not even a proper boss, just the first thing you fight that isn't a standard enemy.

Yeah died a few times with him at first as well. After I got up a few levels, fought the first boss, and was able to get a “shell” to use went back and took care of him. He’s not really as bad as he seems at first. Think he really only has like two or three attacks and one that just induces fear that prevents you from attacking briefly.

This weekend I finished up Little Kitty, Big City. Started playing some Coral Island which is one of those sim games where you farm, build relationships with townsfolk, fish, etc. Pretty relaxing game. Also returned to playing more Eiyuden Chronicle.

You didn't play much this weekend, but I've been binge watching the second season of Dark Winds and rewatched Late Night With the Devil, which has been one of the best horror movies of the Year.

I finished up Tomb Raider 2013. What a fantastic adventure game that sometimes outdoes Uncharted in the spectacle. My absolute favorite moment is when Lara gets a grenade launcher and threatens to come after and kill everyone. The pirates know they fucked up. So good.

Well now, Mudrunner took me 60 hrs to do everything.

I'm currently at 160 hours into Snowrunner. Done all the tasks, opened all the available levels and watchtowers. Ploughing my way through the contracts. The contracts are super long, multi map missions, and it's highlighting my only real problem with the game.

Some areas don't have garages. There are 12 areas, 6 of them don't have garages.

So when doing a multi map mission you face a long, sometimes painful drive to the area you need to go to, only to run out of petrol, or for your truck to tip over.

Normally you would recover your vehicle to the garage on the same map. Or send out another truck from the garage to repair or refuel your truck that's in trouble.

But because there's no garage on a particular map you have to load back into a different map, get a vehicle from that garage, then face another buttbnumbing, pain inducing drive back to the map where your truck in distress is.

It's manifesting itself particularly on Smithville Dam, getting back to either Island lake or Drummond island has become a chore.

I drove two trucks over to do a mission, then I had to drive two different trucks over tonfix something. Then one truck drained its gas tank whilst in a narrow rock corridor. So I couldn't drive up to it as my other truck to refuel it.

Now I have to make another butt numbing trip back to Drummond island.

This is partly why my playtime is over 160 hours. The game needs a garagenon each map, its getting ridiculous.
