Yeah, do love all the features of the Capcom Arcade Stadium games. Also would love to see a third one as well.

I also like how later schmups stopped being vertically orientated.

4:3 ftw, Pro Gear and 1944 the Loop Master.

Pulled off a miracle in Ganryu 2, used invincibility power up get through these wooden spiked poles. Then managed to pull far enough to the next checkpoint.

It looked impossible, the next part had floating spikes you had to weave through. Then this giant spider boss.

Somehow made it through, now on the final level. It's honestly such an enjoyable game, your sword strikes and movement feels clinical and powerful.

Anyone considered getting Slayer X?

New PS State of Play in a few hours. I'm not expecting much but I am hopeful for a new Ridge Racer and Wipeout, or at least an HD collection of those would be great.

Oh, new Ridge Racer and Wipeout with PSVR2 support would be awesome! One can dream.

I would very much love to see a new Ridge Racer game as well. Some stuff that I would like to see in today’s State of Play is:

  • Spider-Man 2 dlc
  • Wolverine
  • Bluepoint’s game

I normally don't. Some of my neighbors do. I'm fairly inland (as far as Florida goes) so I can get by without it.

All that said the hurricane shifted enough that other than some gust and bands I won't be affected too much. Vader is still in some sketchy territory, but in all likelihood he'll be fine too.

It is a bad price for that offering but if the meta content included is great I'll consider it.

Sonic announcements, agreed.

I dunno, back to Sony, this could be considered the worst console generation for a long time.

Even though I am on holiday I've been doing little jobs around the house between the endless exercise, going to the beach etc... Yesterday I washed the outside ceilings (eaves or seifeting) of the moth eggs etc... which involved standing on a small ladder and leaning backwards, siedeways etc... scrubbing with a cloth. My back today is shot. Everytime I stand straight I collapse. (This is after a day of going to the beach and keeping up with my six year old).

It's so painful and frustrating. I guess it must have used muscles I have no other use for.

I looked up what pain medication to use, like the options are paracetamol and ibruprofen. Ibrofprofen the web explained how it worked. Paracetemol explaination was "Yeah we really don't know how it works" which was disturbing given how I chugged them hourly for years. God I'm an idiot when it comes to health.

What do you guys take for back pain?

I'm trying beer right now, while listening to C-SPAN and playing Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter. Not working so far.

While I have a weak back, I don't suffer from enduring back ache much.  My left hip is slowly degrading though, so I'm expecting to need to have it replaced at some point, and younger than I'd feel comfortable with.

Back pain runs in the family though.  I've heard best is to lie down on your back and not move.  I've heard it's best to just keep moving about as you would normally.  Basically nobody knows.

MonHun Wild releases in February.  This will probably be the game to pull me kicking and screaming into current gen.  With the game finally going fully cross platform I'm contemplating wether I should buy a PS5 or Xseries, or splurge on a gaming PC.  I've never been a PC gamer, so I don't feel like spending that kind of money, but it seems that the consoles are already struggling to hit decent performance as is.  Upshot is that if I buy a PC, I can call it a business cost and it'll only cost me about 40% after vat and tax reduction.  So it's quite feasible I could build a console equivalent or slightly better PC for the same cost to me.  On the other hand, if I get a PS5, it'll be my first Playstation console and I'll have access to a lot of Playstation exclusives from this gen and last.

I've still got 5 months to make up my mind.  Knowing me I'll shrug off any performance doubts and just get a series S to save me some money and be able to subscribe to GamePass again should I ever feel like it.

You need a heat pad and an acupressure pad. You can also get high strength ibuprofen gel or high strength Motusul gel. But really the heat pad is the best option. Don't try using a hot water bottle or some wheat filled heat bag. It needs to be large and flat and cover as much of your back as possible.

You probably need a couple of days to recover. Also avoid dodgy seating.

Moving about advice is dodgy. Moving about is more about keeping active when not hurt or in pain to stop the problem from developing in the first place.

If you've acutely injured your back or torn something you need to rest it. Lying flat or on a recliner and always using a heat pad, if it's muscular.

I found recently my sofa was basically collapsing at the back so seating it very important too.

I had total hip replacement at age 41 and it honestly changed my life. Before the surgery, I struggled to walked 15-20 minutes without resting. I walked about thirteen miles at Disney World a few months after the surgery. I still have issues here and there. I can never run again and I do have soreness and still limp from time to time, but I can only imagine it would be worse without. I will also have to replace this new hip in about 8-12 years.

I also have occasional lower back pain that I try to treat by going to the YMCA four to five days a week at about 5:15. I can manage to workout for about twenty five minutes before having to go back home and get ready for work. I do the elliptical and a couple of workout machines for my arms and back. Its not much but its something I suppose.

Moores Law is Dead podcast has been giving his thoughts on Switch 2 specs. It's only a couple of minutes if you want to fast forward to the segment.

If you can't be bothered watching he says the memory has 5x the bandwidth of Switch 1 and 50% better than Steam Deck, he also says the GPU is better than steam deck though the CPU is weaker.

He uses the comparison of PS4 or XB1 to Switch saying Switch had half the RAM of those and slower RAM.

Whereas Switch 2 has two thirds of the RAM of PS5 and more than the Xbox Series S.

He says anything that runs on Xbox Series S should run on Switch 2.

He says if the system had launched a year ago or more, like it was supposed to, it would have been considered as very impressive.

Also Switch 1 firmware has changed in what appears to be a coding change to allow Switch 2 to run these games at higher settings. So backwards compatibility seems certain.

https://youtu.be/4ZTvlJ3034w?si=EuVzykPw439wLRZ4

General opinion, also much of which comes from Moores Law as he's an Nvidia insider, or his sources are - is that Nintendo is going to clock the Switch 2 super low in mobile for battery life better than Switch 1.
