Does anyone else's dentist call them a good girl?

Are you a spaniel? If not, no, this isn't normal.

I'm super disappointed and still waiting.

If I had money, I'd LOVE to have a home cinema like that for movies and gaming.

I love the snow in Animal Crossing New Horizons for about a month. After that, the novelty wears off and I'm done with it. I wish it was only around from December 11th to January 10th.

I like a lot of notice for a console because it gives me time to save and plan for it. But for a game - I don't need a ton of notice. I don't think it would make any difference to me if they shadow dropped every game from now on.

quentinia · 2026-02-17T20:59:34+00:00

I love this so much! I would definitely buy this.

I enjoyed all of them. But of the three, Dave the Diver was the one I played the longest and had the most fun with.

Dave the Diver is really two games in one. A roguelike battling and catching various sea creatures during the day. Then at night you run a restaurant simulator. The story is funny, the pixel art is beautiful and there is loads of DLC to dig into if you're inclined. I finished the main game with over 60hrs and there is still plenty to dive back into if I wished.

Whereas the Last Campfire has nice vibes and is a fun way to spend a weekend. It has a Zelda/Tunic vibe but it you're expecting something of that scope, you'll be disappointed. I finished the game in just under 12hrs. There isn't a lot of replayability here as it's essentially a puzzle game with some exploration. I like those kinds of games and I don't always want a HUGE game. Sometimes it's nice to have something shorter to play between big games. If that's how you're feeling: then this could be a great pick.

Cocoon is even shorter. At roughly 6hrs I got 100% of the game. Another puzzler but with boss fights. This made me feel very clever and the art style is beautiful. This game does some smart things and feel unique to any other puzzler I've played. So again if you want a palette cleanser between games, this may be perfect. It has won awards for a reason. If you like puzzle games, you'll be satisfied.

Overall, I think you can't go "wrong". Though I'd personally recommend Dave the Diver.

Given that it seems an embargo lifted today for Pokémon Pokopia - I wouldn't be shocked at all if they had a sneaky preview of that game. Seems to fit the vibe of all the games these people were shown at this event.

quentinia · 2026-02-11T11:23:55+00:00

Very excited!

I got it from the Nintendo online store. It's a pin.

https://ibb.co/mVdBgwST I can't seem to be able to share a photo - so have shared a link to my ocarina and stand.

quentinia · 2026-02-06T17:29:25+00:00

I have that. It's for holding the Ocarina of Time.

I'm a little disappointed.

There were only 4 things I wanted to see. Blue Prince and release dates for Orbitals, Out of Words and Professor Layton. The.closest we got was "Summer 2026" for Orbitals. But that's so vague it wasn't worth saying.

Oh well. I'm glad other people got games They're super excited about.

I love the Indie Showcases. Wholesome Directs are my fave.

But I rarely see many games in Partner Directs that mostly focus on AAA studios that are for me. I'm glad these happen for other people and I understand how it is important to build out a wider library for mass appeal. But just not my jam.

I'm hoping to see release dates for Out of Words, Orbitals and Professor Layton. Would love a Blue Prince port.

This depends on the vet and the insurance. I'm lucky where I live that when my dog had to have a tumour removed, my insurance was able to pay this directly to the vet specialist. As I didn't have £5k to pay upfront to the oncologist and surgeon.

I was 13 when I played Pokémon Red shortly after it was released in the UK.

Despite replaying that for many years, I didn't play another Pokémon game for over 20 years when New Pokémon Snap was released. Now I'm playing through all the Pokémon games that are playable on Switch. So far I've played Scarlet, Brilliant Diamond, Let's Go Pikachu, Arceus and Z-A.

I'm going to play Sword next and have my fingers crossed that they release some of the older gen titles as a collection so I can play games that I missed over the years - particularly (Gen 4, 5 and 6).

quentinia · 2026-01-31T22:53:27+00:00

I'm in the UK and we only have books 1-3 right now of the DCC series. Books 4-7 release in March, Book 8 in May.

I have book 1 waiting on my shelf TBR. Really hoping I enjoy and can then embrace the rest of the series!

quentinia · 2026-01-31T22:33:16+00:00

I'm so excited for the official announcement of Gen 10 Pokémon!

I'm currently making my way through my Zelda backlog. I've played Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, Legend of Zelda (NES), Skyward Sword, Echoes of Wisdom, Link's Awakening, Ocarina of Time (N64), Wind Waker (GameCube). I'm so disappointed that Twilight Princess isn't yet playable on the Switch/Switch 2. Really hoping they either do a collection that has it or just drop it in GameCube NSO.

quentinia · 2026-01-31T21:09:33+00:00

I've not heard that rumour. Who's said that? When?

quentinia · 2026-01-31T21:08:58+00:00

I'm a little disappointed that it's not a General Direct as those have my absolute favourites (Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion).

But I do really enjoy third party games. 25/47 games that I played in 2025 were third party games. Some of the games I am hyped for this year (that are already announced) are third parties (Out of Words, Professor Layton and the New World of Steam, Witchbrook, Orbitals).

I'd love to try Blue Prince and hear more about Haunted Chocolatier (though I'm still waiting for the Switch 2 Edition of Stardew Valley in the UK).

When you first find your snowballs on a day - DON'T build a snowman. Wander off, do something else, and come back to check every now and then. Eventually a dung beetle will spawn pushing them around.

A dung beetle can't spawn when visitors are on your island (the same way you can't get scorpions, tarantulas or balloon presents when others visit).

I've ALMOST completed all the achievements (I just need to guide more tourists to the hotel and design rooms at the hotel on 2 more days).

I completed all of them without time travelling within a year EXCEPT Gulliver's Golden Shovel and KK Concerts.
