- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed 3 days ago:
Correct.
I would like to think you could pair old joycons to it in a pinch since outside of that new button on the right joycon they look exactly the same.
But, yeah, when it runs out of juice you’d have to stick them back on the old switch or use a third party charger.
But we’ll see, for sure.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed 4 days ago:
Mouse mode has been rumored, and some leaks have shown what could be an optical sensor on the joy con.
Also, if you take your current joy cons and place them on their side like that, they surprisingly feel pretty great as a mouse. Shoulder button for min click, and your thumb hits the four face buttons. I could see it working pretty well.

In theory the old joy cons could still connect to the system via bluetooth, just not attach to the console itself. So maybe that keeps Ring Fit in play for the system.

A few years ago I think I’d agree, but I feel like at this point it’s a super lazy naming scheme, to be honest.
Don’t have a good name? Just slap “-fall” on the end of some noun.
- Comment on Atomfall | Official Gameplay Overview Trailer 1 week ago:
Another entry in the long running “-fall” series of games.
(For real, it’s weird how so many game have “fall” in their name if you start paying attention to it.)
- Comment on Cavs top Thunder in the best game of the season so far 1 week ago:
For a moment this felt like a Ty Jerome revenge game from being traded from the Thunder. He came out and couldn’t miss for a while.

- Comment on Balatro dev shares an excellent list of his favourite indie games of 2024 2 weeks ago:
Animal Well is also my game of the year.
No other game was more interesting and exciting when you found something new. Or solved a puzzle.
While on the surface it’s a simple Metroid style game, once you start noticing things it becomes so intriguing. I have a document on my iPad full of handwritten notes and maps. It felt so novel to return to a feeling of the late 80s where paper maps and notes were king.
While there were a lot of great games last year, I put so much more brainpower into Animal Well, and it felt so good to do so.

- Comment on What did everyone grab during the Steam Winter Sale? 3 weeks ago:
It’ll be perfect on that!
- Comment on What did everyone grab during the Steam Winter Sale? 3 weeks ago:
You’re welcome!
When you die in this game there’s no real penalty other than going back to the last checkpoint. So even if you leveled up or something you keep that, you just might go back a few screens. It’s great!
- Comment on What did everyone grab during the Steam Winter Sale? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t use steam too much, but I did get Minishoot Adventures, and it’s excellent.
It’s like if Zelda was a bullet hell. The base difficulty isn’t too hard, but it’s challenging enough. And you get to explore and do dungeons. It’s really fun.

The moment you stop having a sub for something like FF14 (which has no in your face upsell garbage in-game), you turn in to something like LotR: Online (which when I played that briefly was FILLED with windows trying to get you to buy gold or other nonsense).
You pay a sub so the servers stay online. So the writers/coders/management get paid. In the case of FF14, so the game can continue being great.
- Comment on NBA efficiency chart by Kirk Goldsberry (last 10 games) 1 month ago:
Every time I see one of these charts and it shows some team being bad at either defense or offense, somehow the next game we have with them they turn into the greatest team in the league.
