I recieved my N64 Switch controller this afternoon; been playing N64 games with it all evening. It's been around 20 years since the last time I held an N64 controller but I immediately noticed my gameplay had improved with it. Muscle memory and nostalgia.
I'm suspicious. I think that's a barbarian cosplaying as a wizard.Yep, nothing like the original hardwae (controllers). Do we have Smash Bros to thank for making a N64 controller on Switch commercially viable?
I don't believe so. NSO doesn't have N64 Smash Bros yet and most Smash fans seem to prefer the Gamecube controller. Nintendo said, "Let's release a $50 N64 controller for NSO. Nostalgic old farts like Ravenprose will buy it!"
I tested out the N64 D-pad by playing Super Mario Bros 1. It works quite well. Now that's a sentence I never expected to write!
Burger Time Deluxe (Gameboy) is a great game. I've been playing it quite a bit this weekend. However, it's odd that when you drop a burger part with an enemy on top of it, the enemy doesn't die in the fall like in the arcade. Nope! They climb back up! They only die in this game if they are crushed by a falling piece. That changes the gameplay quite a bit from the arcade version. The levels feel a bit more puzzle like too. I like it.
My friend had that one, (we always avoided owning the same games so we could have more total access acros our friend group). I have not thought about that game for decades.
Is the music as good as the arcade?
I played some Indika (PC) and Teardown (PC) this weekend. Looking to finish Indika this week.
Yes. It's a bit more mellow but it fits with the theme of the game well.
Been playing Elden Ring this weekend. Had to play through some of the base game before I could access the dlc. The new content seems very cool so far but it is quite tough.
I didn't play anything this week. I've been bingeing The Boys.
Happy Canada Day!
What's a canada?
It's a drink
And it’s delicious.
Yes please:

The team in question is Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (via Fudzilla) and it didn't use any weird tech or microscopic distances in a lab—50 km of commercially available optical fibres and signal amplifiers were employed in the test. At an estimated peak rate of 402 Tbps or 50.25 TB/s, it's approximately 25% higher than the previous record, set last October.
It's a yeastlike fungus that can inhabit themouth, vagina and intestines.
Oh no wait, that Candida.
I have noidea what a Canada is.
