I haven't been to an IMAX movie in years and years, though I used to love it (a city near enough to comfortably drive to has one of the few original, full-size IMAX theaters as opposed to the retrofitted IMAX Digital stuff that's common), and something about my love of practical effects and photography in film told me "go see this the right way" so I have tickets for Saturday. I'm surprised to now hear how good everyone says it is (I expected a regular Tom Cruise action flick that's simply well-shot) but I'm actually getting excited now.


I second @Red Monster's statement.

You will love it. This is not a green screen film.

Same.
I've made hating summer part of my personality.

Alrighty here we go, Obi-Wan Kenobi, episode 1.

No wait, not that episode 1, this new one. This take place after episode 3, but before episode 4.

Yeah. That one. Kay, let's rock and roll 🤘
 
I cannot tell you how long I have waited for simple 2D pinball on the Switch

I love dumb little computer pinball games but everything I’ve been able to find is like “LOOK IT’S SO 3D NOW, AAAAAH WE RENDERED LITERAL MACHINES AT AN ANGLE AND IT’S ACTUALLY SO HARD TO SEE WHAT’S GOING ON, WOW WE LICENSED ALL THIS BULLSHIT YOU HATE AND FAITHFULLY RECREATED FRANCHISED GARBAGE”

like okay, sure, glad you made a haunting replica of the out-of-control soul death of the last god-tier mechanical arcade classic

but some of us like dumb little pinball games because they aren’t as rampantly ~that~ as the meatzone ballgames

look my friends, my famicomrades, my weirdos-in-arms — I know jack shit of the mythology and heaven-piercing arc of pinball, but I was a gay little wad of something in the 90s and I remember the husks in rows, the odd ghost crimp-cranking at their bevel-top ledgers, tucked in the flickering corners of each funtime junction and nary a shark left to jump

I recognized silence in ash, the bygones in folksong and surplus untouched. It taught me the shape of the flame, some clever spark burnt too fast and far — bonfire to trademark shaken from briefcase, fed to the death of it, paddles and all

that is the beauty that interests me. that cannot be 3D modeled, pristine and hollow, nor would I want it as such. no wild haptics nor cigarette walls could reclaim that sliver of clock. mortality suits it. let it be true.

See, NES Pinball is cool, but is it Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire? Pinball Perfection on a Game Boy Advance cartridge? Not yet. And thus I wait for the ultimate pinball experience on my Switch.

seriously, go play pokemon pinball ruby and sapphire, game's fucking great.

frankly I liked the og GameBoy Pokémon Pinball better. maybe only because the screen was tall du jour and the music wasn’t as tragically vtech

Funnily enough, I can play Pinball RS all day but cannot for the life of me go back to GB Pinball. It just feels...off. But I did play Pinball RS first.

Nostalgia, huh? Funny what it does to you.

Fuck that was beautiful
 
Woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t sleep because it was so hot (I used to love summer so maybe I’m getting old, or maybe climate change starts to hit us hard). So I booted up my Series S and played Sniper Elite 5 while my dog slept on my feet. I’m glad to report that shooting nazis is as fun as always. Hope your night was as good as mine !
 
Almost done cleaning up the timed quests in Xenoblade DE. Should be done tomorrow. I’m the type of person who enjoys fetch/kill MMO style quests so this replay has been pretty relaxing. Lots of fun side stories to discover too. One thing I have noticed was that I was too dumb to figure out how the skill system really worked when I played the Wii and 3DS versions.

"Famicomrades"? Yo, that's tight 😁

Looks okay. I think the weirdest part so far is that switching between characters is instant with no transition whatsoever which looks quite disorienting.

Yeah I think I’m good skipping this one. Maybe it plays better than it looks, but it’s really not speaking to the rekindling the feeling of JRPGs from 20+ years ago they said they were going for. We at least have Live A Live and Trails From Zero this year for classic JRPGs.

Mario Land 3: Wario Land is perhaps the most compelling boring ass game of all time. Trying to figure out if this is intentional as I slowly plod my way to 100% completion.
 
Huh. Haven't heard of this game.

But you know what? I happen to actually like open-world games and even get excited when the word "open-world" is even used in the lead-up to a game's release so... Yeah. I'm intrigued.

This sounds really good actually

The Wario Land games are all in my backlog. Maybe I should get to them soon

This actually interests me! But it might be a little too anime for me.
 
Random urge to play a sim game and I realized that my time at Portia and stardew valley are both on game pass! Weekend plans secured.

Kinda my thoughts as well.

But honestly? It's been a while since I've played an open-world and I'm itching for something with gameplay like this so... Eh, why not? I've played games with art-styles I don't like before so it's no big deal for me.

Eiyuden Chronicle Rising is pretty middling so far.

It has this weird issue that it looks both very pretty in stills and very cheap in motion due to some kind of marionette technique used on the pixel-art characters. But I can overlook that for the most part, my issues are more structural. I think I'm about a third to halfway through (playtime is just over 3h) and it has some nice ideas here and there but a lot of the stuff doesn't really feel very engaging. The combat is pretty okay for a sidescrolling RPG even if some of it feels a bit clunky. I think my biggest problem so far is how repetitive and meandering it feels. I guess it's my fault for expecting a more metroidvania-like experience but there's a lot of (what feels like) unnecessary interruptions and fetch quests. The rewards for sidequests are also very unbalanced, I feel. I've been doing all of them so far and I think I'm grossly overleveled, even bosses go down with a few hits. I'm probably going to finish it anyway because it's not all bad and I like the characters plus I'm curious how it ties into Hundred Heroes. But I'm glad I didn't pay for it. Another ideal Game Pass game, I'd say.
 
Mario Strikers will receive multiple free updates after launch, including additional characters.
And the icon!

I was thinking of picking this game up when it went on sale in the future. Doesn't sound too bad if you're looking to pick up and play for an hour to relax after work.

Looks Interesting. Never played Punishing Gray Raven, only listened to the music (which is fire btw) but it seems like a great action game.
 
Going to see the Bob's Burgers movie tonight! Fingers crossed it's a fun little romp!

And meanwhile I'll download the Mario Strikers tutorial, hopefully it builds up the hype that I think this could have
 
Obi Wan Kenobi is out. Strangers Things too. And now a demo for Strikers? This is gonna be a nice 3 day weekend.
