I agree with the overall negativity Nintendo has brought upon themselves but videos like this are, like you say, tiresome and disingenuous from the creator.

I really hope so Mav. Hopefully a chance to win for 4 manufacturers and make history spurs him on every weekend!

I doubt we will see him again for a long while now :(

Ffs :(

I’ve just caught up with the weekend and the sprint was a bit meh but the feature race was a good one. I have a few updated opinions after this one too.

I feel bad for Viñales but hopefully we will see him at the front again and I certainly didn’t expect that after the dreadful start to the season (and preseason)! I honestly thought he was done for and confined to the back of the grid.

Also I’m coming around to Frankie more and more. He races hard (and sometimes it looks a bit too hard) but after the last few years I’ve no doubt that he has had to rebuild that mentality which I like to see. He is off to a great start this year.

Zarco still putting in work on the LCR Honda. Has was another one I was afraid would fail on the Honda but he is putting in a stellar effort.

This video has been doing the rounds but if I remember correctly they are overly negative and are obviously not the target for Nintendo and have no intention of buying the Switch even before all the controversy.

I don’t really use Goodreads much but BookWyrm looks good so I’ve just switched over.

PowerA Xbox controllers are wired, cheap and actually very nice to use.

1943 was pretty good. Brings back good memories of all the Xbox live arcade stuff on the 360.

I played a lot of 1942 on the NES as a kid but never 1943.

As for Battlefield I wouldn’t bother anymore. The franchise peaked with BF3 and everything else since is just awful.

Apart from Eurogamer I basically get all of my information from random people on Lemmy and Mastodon who link to interesting stuff. I don’t frequent any games sites anymore.

Edit: and podcasts but not specifically games related ones.

It’s actually the only game I feel comfortable using comms in. I have social anxiety so it did take me a few months to get used to it but now it feels natural. I’ve rarely come across anything bad either in 2k hours which is nice and it’s more social than competitive.

All the Apple original series I’ve watched have been excellent so far so here’s to hoping for the best. The trailer was good enough in my opinion.

Nintendo aren’t the monster they are being played as.

I do think the price is too high for the console, games etc but they have always been slow to the party in many ways. That also means they create amazing stuff that the others cannot and have forged their own path. Don’t hate on them for that aspect.

Squad

I’d recommend it for anyone who played BF2/2142 and even BF3/BC2 back in the day. I really don’t like modern shooters as they are quite frankly shit in comparison but Squad is something different. Be warned though that it has its issues but when you get a good round in with decent squad mates and teamwork it is top tier.

I’ve been playing It Takes Two this week with my daughter and it’s really good. I highly recommend it too.

From what I watched it is heavily biased against Nintendo and from someone who clearly isn’t the target audience.

My interest in Nintendo has been slowly slipping away since the early 00s and I wouldn’t even call myself a fan anymore but videos like these are worthless.

I watched for a couple minutes then stopped. It’s clear they had no intention or interest in the Switch 2 before all the outrage so why bother to watch the next 18 and 30 seconds…

For such a short lifespan the Dreamcast had an abundance of peripherals too which were underutilized. Some of them were ahead of its time but you have to admire the passion!

• Fighting controller
• Arcade stick
• Fishing controller
• Karaoke add-on
• Maracas
• Light gun
• Keyboard & mouse
• Dream Eye
• Microphone

Physically, I’m not even sure I’ll be able to finish the race, but if we can manage, it will be a victory because that will mean that I’m beginning to recover. We need to take one step at a time to try and get back to our normal level as soon as possible.”

I’m excited but please be careful Jorge!
