Nephew came over to play DK Bananza.

Obsessed with making a stream for the monkeys. And obsessed with smashing downwards to force one money to stay down in a lower chamber.

Then trying to punch monkeys resulting in hi fives.

Won't follow the objective indicators to progress the game.

He spent ages digging out a maze for me to escape from.

Then dig another and blocked the way with boulders. And I'm not allowed to punch my way out.

The black powerbank I bought was some random name from a local store and its junk, I'm returning it.

Make sure you buy a reputable brand when it comes to these things. It charged Switch 2 for 25 mins and only upped the battery by 12%.

The other battery I got earlier gave me 1 and a half hours more and charged up to 60%.

That's while using it, with it in sleep mode it would go up to 80 or 90%. But it gets really hot to the touch. Need one with good cooling.

(Iniu) batteries seem to have good reviews and 3 year warranty.

I will be buying that 7800 Pac-man cart, which is available separately too. OG Pac-man was never released on the 7800, so that's definitely a must buy for me.

Why do kids always want to cheat ahead in a game using your gamesave rather than theirs?

This punk opened Animal Crossing and destroyed my town.

Then he went to the jungle level on my DK Bananza save file and started doing stuff. Really hope it didn't auto save as I havent played it yet

For the same reasons we used cheat codes and Game Genie's: It's fun.

I literally create profiles for them so they don't junk my saves.

Finally bought Witcher 3 on switch. My gamble is that a Switch 2 version will get announced with a cheap upgrade fee for existing owners.

Also, my switch 2 HDD is full. I guess a 31gb Doom Eternal doesn't help.

I've only tried the Witcher 3 offscreen, but once you add a low sharpening effect it doesn't look bad. The cutscenes all look great.

I've just got back to Dogtown in Cyberpunk and you understand more and can play more intelligently.

I grabbed the games most powerful sniper rifle from that find the ring mission and it fires explosive bullets. So you can take out huge drones in a few shots and those heavy gunners in 2 to 3 shots.

Not had much success upgrading iconic weapons. I never seem to have enough components. I always pick up all weapons and components from dead enemies. Is there a way to get more and better quality components?

Extremely sad news today. Ozzy Osbourne has passed away at the age of 76. Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne was one of my all time favourite bands and singer while I was growing up and continued to this day.

R.I.P. Ozzy Osbourne. Sad

I have some leftover credit left on the eshop, npw the summer sale is on.

I know it's a crapshoot, but I was wondering if I should get The Sinking City? I know Robio said it was a shit show, so I've been looking to see if it ran any better on Switch 2, but I can't find any info.

And I thought maybe they would eventually release the remastered version on Switch2 and have a free upgrade option.

RIP to Ozzy. I remember my mom and other church members were concerned about his music during the satanic panic days.

As a kid, I remember thinking Ozzy Osbourne was the scariest man in the world. I definitely bought into that satanic panic hype around him. But it's funny how that perception of him completely changed after the Osbornes ran on MTV.

He and Sharon both spoke about how they had an agreement for medically assisted suicide, and I think in the next few days we'll hear that was the case with him. And good for him. He gave one last amazing concert that was never going to be topped and then go out on his own terms. I don't think anyone could ask for more than that.

I would just avoid it. When it came out on the switch, there was a really weird fight going on between the publisher and the developer over money and control of the game. I don't know if it ever really got resolved, but the end result was the worst version of the game available. I wouldn't even risk a switch to upgrade. It's better to let that game die.
