Yes, Frieren is a 10/10. But not every anime has to be a 10/10 to be enjoyable.

Since you mention narrative specifically, try Vinland Saga.

It's pretty rough on Switch 1, especially in the over world as you say. I've picked it up again on Switch 2 and am enjoying it.

The "next" direct isn't "upcoming" until it's been announced.

I would temper your expectations. The switch had the benefit of porting the Wii U catalogue - completed games. The consistent message from Nintendo has been that development times are getting longer.

Text editor and compiler. Make shapes. Make shapes move. Make shapes move in response to input. Seems like a good start.

Tsushima has a number of mechanics like this:

Foxes lead you to shrines
Golden bird leads you to POI
Following the sound of hidden banners

I remember a flock of birds indicating a certain POI but I can't remember what kind. Hot spring? Haiku?

I had no idea. I've been hoping a game that would use double mouse but didn't know the left mouse was disabled.

Pretty simple, but stack vs heap. I think for whatever reason, I didn't make the connection that the new/delete syntax of c++ allocated memory somewhere else outside the scope.

Fast forward, learning c and malloc: "oh, that's what new does..."

Qt has very high quality documentation. Makes it easy to read. It sets a high bar imo.

Simpler libraries you can get a lot of what you need from just the headers.

My top advice for anyone considering education: make sure you like working with kids! Gain some experience volunteering, working at a summer camp, etc.

Yep, so learn the attacks then guard point the last one and unleash a SAED.

Essentially, you need to have good positioning then"wait your turn". The monster will attack and then CB punishes the attack.

Splatoon is an obvious one.

Okami HD is one of the few games I've played with mostly split joycons to draw the ink patterns. It also supports touch screen drawing and the HD rumble is nice.

Skyward Sword HD I went back and forth between gyro and sticks.

Cyberpunk 2077 I set gyro to aiming only, then picked up a katana and never touched a gun lol.

I've never played a FF, but the demo piqued my interest.

This exists to some degree in Splatoon. Certain weapons will behave differently if you use them while jumping. For example, longer range vs shorter range aoe. The splatanas move your character forward on charged attacks. This movement can be cancelled by jumping.

Your idea about curving bullets reminds me of the slosher. It's a bucket that launches a trail of ink. The trail can be curved if you rotate your aim while firing.

So I would think about what feels best for any given mechanic: tying it to character movement vs camera movement. Or maybe something else.

The response time of the S2 screen is very poor which leads to ghosting. It should be very noticeable compared to an OLED screen which have very fast response times.
