- Comment on Switch 2 demand appears to be flagging as Nintendo reportedly lowers production 1 day ago:
As a long time Nintendo fan since the NES, Switch 2 is the first Nintendo console (except Virtual Boy, I suppose) that I did not go out and purchase day 1. I still have no real interest.
I like physical carts and the idea that a cart is really just a license key to download a game is a no-go for me right from the start. $80 games. So heavily tied to the online account that any ban, accidental or otherwise, effectively bricks the console. No games that interst me (other than Metroid, which I just bought for Switch 1).
Add all that together and I don’t know if/when I will ever get a S2 at this point. Maybe in a few years second hand. We’ll see.

Played several games this year I liked.
Hollow Knight with the release of Silksong I figured I should probably finally play this. Great game and deserves the praise it gets. Didn’t get anywhere near 100% completion on it but I am OK with that
Strangers of Paradise played on PS5. Once I figured out the battle mechanic I fell into a rythem with this game and really liked it. Ended up getting the platinum for it because I wanted to keep playing.
Iron Meat finally got a chance to play this. Really fun if short contra style shooter game. Ticks all the right boxes.
Lately I have been playing some classic games and getting retro achievements for them. Fun way to experience my old favorites again with new challenges. I recently played Zelda LTTP and got all the RAs for it. Some fun challenges for the game
Honorable mentions: Cyber Shadow, Firewatch, Mario & Luigi: Brothership
- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 5 months ago:
I got a Kobo about a year ago (Libra Color) it is just great. The kobo store keeps having sales on books I want for $2 so as much as I intended to use the overdrive connectivity, I just keep buying books on it!

I have been considering a second quest play lately. All these years I have never played the second quest.

Every so often I will fire up my copy of Mega Man 2 and run through it.
