Jasmine is home now. She's has 5 precription meds and precription dog food. She's weak as a kitten but finally ate all of her breakfast at the hospital; I hand fed her there.
This is great to hear.
so the last Game under criticizes E33, oh we need a debate.
New Superman movie was really good, love the hopeful style, but the plot has issues. The characters were good but scenes were just not given enough moment to breathe.
So DK is a blast. It starts off slow, first two hours I was thinking this will get old really fast but then it just keeps opening up and that collecting itch kicks in and it's just fun to destroy everything to find stuff. Plenty of Rare like 3D platformer missions amoung the crazy amount of stuff to find. The controls are great, DK has a fun moveset which makes moving around a blast and allows for high level play. Still too easy, hopefully changes.

So what you are saying is it's basically just Donkey Kong Barrel Blast?
If you look up Pam Ayers' work, you'll see how a poet ended up on TV. Very broad poetry. Here is what AI produced when I asked it to write a poem about you in the style of Pam Ayers (nailed it):
I’m gonna tell you 'bout Tom Towers,
A chap who spends his waking hours,
Not gardening or baking pies,
But gaming, with discerning eyes.
He’s got a podcast, quite renowned,
Where pixel talk and lore abound.
He’ll chat for hours, deep and wide,
On frame rates, shaders, anti-aliasing pride.
He’s not impressed by sloppy scenes,
Or muddy rocks in gaming greens.
“Those textures look like mashed-up chalk!”
He’ll mutter in his Aussie talk.
And if you dare to name Clair Obscure,
He’ll scoff and say, “The end’s unsure!”
“It fizzles out, it lacks finesse,
A narrative unholy mess!”
But still he plays, with furrowed brow,
Inspecting cliffs and granite now.
“Look at that boulder! What a joke!
It’s polygonal, and poorly woke!”
So here’s to Tom, with specs and sass,
A gaming gent of highest class.
He’ll rate your rocks, your quests, your lore,
Then podcast on it — and ask for more!
Except that my famous rock texture analysis was of how good a rock texture was, rather than how bad.

Foolz review was good.
I don't think the game is as buggy on switch. Though the framerate would wobble. Really need to try it on switch 2.
I only played the Book of Unwritten tales 2.
It was very good but had a cliffhanger ending so didn't satisfy me as much as I thought it would. Still, it's so cheap I have no regrets from buying it.
Probably a review of book of unwritten tales 2 there, too.

[Eurogamer] Donkey Kong Bananza's monologuing villains have turned me: It's time Nintendo properly embraces fully voice acted characters
Agreed. Feels a bit lifeless reading text instead of good VO here.

Got ma multicoloured shorts.
Game is good. I felt the destruction would get old very quickly and it hasn't.
It doesn't feel that revolutionary as you're often tunneling to nowhere with no reward.
Also, crazy how Nintendo could make something so unexpected and novel with so much destruction. And yet even with 3 different punch buttons it feels so natural it feels perfectly normal and makes so much sense.
They just invented the next Steamworld Dig, the next Superhero game.
Also I love the climbing the most, nice to be so fast and powerful with no stamina bar holding you back.

I'm guessing the difficulty level stays too easy.
This is a thing with Nintendo lately. It's not so much how easy it is, it's that they don't go any further than the first most basic use of a new gameplay element. You get a new power and use it for some basic stuff and that's as far as they go. I need some master quest version of this game and Mario Odyssey
I spent this weekend playing Robotron 2084 (Atari 7800). I managed a new high score on Intermediate difficulty of 591,825. I'm going to keep playing until I reach 1 million!
Haven't really seriously been playing anything in particular. I tried out Call of the Sea, which was a well reviewed puzzle/adventure game. I found the puzzles to be a little too obtuse, although I'm willing to admit, I might have been the one who is too obtuse. When I finally got to chapter 3 I was more or less just walking around, reading notes, and not much else so I figured it was time to knock that off.
I've also been streaming Rayman Legends, and after a couple weeks I think I'm at the end of it. I had a bunch of viewers, and maybe it's the most popular thing I've played so far. Those music levels at the end of each world were very in demand. But that said, I've gotten a big enough audience that now I have the know-it-alls who just won't shut up about how great they are at the game and how much they know.
Played a bit of Donkey Kong Bananza last night and the game looks and plays very well. The destructibility aspect is pretty impressive as well.
Mine should arrive tomorrow.You use your handheld battery, then clip on the small one to recharge which adds weight to the console.
But when it's done you take it off and the console is back to a lighter weight.
If they put in a larger, heavier battery your handheld will be permanently too heavy.
This is great to hear.

The floor is yours!
I haven't completed my male characters story yet. I've done every visible side quest and Cyberpunk psycho on the map and done all the tarot cards.
I wanted to try the other modes, nomad, corp, street kid.
I also wanted to take advantage of all the female clothing. Like in Animal Crossing.
I'm glad devs are making lots of different outfits like Mario Odyssey too.

That first boss was pure Splatoon and the music too.

I just beat him and was thinking the exact same thing. The whole visual style seems more Splatoon era Nintendo as well.

Played more Death Stranding 2 this weekend. I’m hooked on making those deliveries.
Its been nothing but Donkey Kong Bananza this weekend. I'm really loving the game and this game world.

It's very weird in a Splatoon like way. The art especially and the layers thing.DKB started off as okay then became great fun from the canyon onwards and had me grinning ear to ear.
This should have been the launch game, feels fresh.
