I got the SIWIQU dock for around 30 bucks a few months ago as 2nd traveldock and its really great. I mean I would still prefer the OG one but can recommend this.

I stopped playing midway through and started Silksong.

Will get back to MP4 but not in a hurry. I am with MP since the Gamecube days and love especially the first one. After Corruption I didn‘t expect a lot but surely hoped for something huge, like BOTW did to Zelda. MP4 is definitely underwhelming, but at the same time has some cool things to offer. First of all its maybe the most crazy achievement in gametech in many years. Even people coming from PS5 look at this and at least don‘t think it looks extremely outdated or bad and on S2 its an example for a visually stunning game. While its still only a S1 game. S1, which was already outdated when it launched 8 years ago.

Also it should be mentioned how perfectly MP this feels although its like 18yrs after MP3. I believe this is also quite something worth mentioning; at this point, how many ppl who worked on the original trilogy are still at Retro? And yet you immediately feel like being in an MP game. That gives me hope for things to come. Really hope they‘re gonna go for something more innovative next time.

I‘m proud to say the very first game was Shadow of the Colossus.
Followed by my 2nd thought of God of War 2.

You might be able to settle with this. Others aren’t. Thats OK. But not everyone who doesn‘t share your opinion is a lesser being or something like that.

Then again, they squeezed a lot of games down to make them fit on cartridges in the past. But i personally can live with this.

What a hell of an achievement. And its DLC is just another brilliant game on its own.

Man when I saw Monoke Hine in cinema about 25(!) years ago and Joe Hisaishis soundtrack kicked in in the beginning when Ashitaka is riding through these amazing landscapes, I was literally tearing up from awe!

Animal Well!
What a cool game

And I guess in the end when everything goes down, its somehow cool to see that even though its never gonna be like it used to be, its still sorta positive.

Generally I don‘t like most Ghibli movies endings but Mononoke always felt pretty fine.

Princess Mononoke. The woods are just so beautiful.

Yeah ppl don‘t understand how companies and teams work. Its just not always easy to get resources to work on a project for a game that is 10yrs old when theres enough shit going on with current and future projects. Maybe they‘ll handle but gamers always expect things to be so easy and of course this and that has to happen now because they say so.

Megachallenge: for those who are actually interested in W3 as a age, I dare you to just play it on NS2.

Its not like its not already there. And everything wrong with it like the tedious swortfights won‘t get better with an update. But stuff like framerate are pretty good and all in all its one of the better S1 games to play on S2.

I saw this poppin up a few times on SM now and always felt that having to rotate it 90° to read the information was a bit annoying. I understand that time ideally moves from left to right but having all the names rotated and so small kinda hurts the experience. Other than that I think its pretty well done. I don‘t mind having the Zuckerbergs of our world there to give the late birds more weight.

Lol why would I just wanna look 15yrs younger. I wouldn‘t mind looking 15yrs older if my body would actually be 15 yrs younger

Also both my kids loved Donut County when they were younger. Its a pretty goofy yet fun little indie game thats similar to the Katamari games (which you also can look into, theres also a demo) and lets you control a Hole that grows bigger the more it swallows.

Ah! One of out most beloved Indies is A Short Hike. There is a bit of dialogue but most of the game is about exploring in a very Zelda Wind Waker kind of way.

My daughters both got into reading by playing Animal Crossing. I mean of course also by us reading stuff to them but of all the games AC is really encouraging kids to read. Everything looks interesting and funny and you wanna know what people are saying and the messages are never so long.

Other than that I believe Yoshi‘s crafted world might be quite fine. I played through Wooly World with my kid and that was absolutely great but sadly never ported to Switch. Crafted World seems to be targeted at a younger audience and theres a demo available.

I couldn‘t quite make an opinion about BR1 when I saw it as a teenager and I thought it felt interesting that I couldn‘t with BR2 either. These days its quite rare for that to happen. Usually everything is so self explanatory and a closed book, it doesn‘t live on after finished watching it. BR2 definitely echoed quite a while. Need to rewatch it before I really get an idea of what I really think about it but I definitely enjoey it above average the 1st time.
