My pleasure! Overall it’s a fantastic console - just not the right time to buy if you want exclusive first-party games. There’s hundreds of ports and idies though! We only purchased one because of upcoming tariffs, and somehow my spouse got in the retail lottery draw to purchase one right when the console launched. Had the console in our hands maybe two days after launch day. Ideally we would have bought one when the console hit about two years old and there were more games to play. But to me, it’s not a big deal since we’re patient (and we have other consoles and PCs anyway).

So far we have Donkey Kong Bananza and the upcoming Pokémon Legends Z-A game (it’s in the mail).

DK Bananza is excellent. It’s no Astro Bot or Super Mario Odyssey, but it’s a damn good game, and incredibly fun. I’d give it an 8/10. Pokémon… I’m optimistic it’ll be good overall. I’ve avoided spoilers so I’m looking forward to playing it once I finish my Cyberpunk 2077 playthrough.

Edit: Completely forgot about Mario Kart World or Tour or whatever it’s called. This one’s alright overall. Think I like Mario Kart 8 more, but I’ve been playing that once since it debuted on Wii U.

Edit 2: The console itself is very premium. Build quality is leagues better than Switch 1. Performance is very good and it handles games well. We play docked on the TV and my spouse plays it in handheld sometimes. Significant improvement over Switch 1. Would recommend it in the future once there are more games for it. We play PC, PS5, Nintendo, and Xbox.

You mean there’s another way?!

I have a Garmin fitness watch that only vibrates to wake me up. It’s mildly annoying since it is not as gentle as my old Apple Watch from many years ago. The Apple Watch’s vibration alarm felt like a finger gently tapping my wrist. It was a nice way to gently wake up without disturbing my partner. My Garmin watch vibrates entirely on the lowest setting. I can also hear it audibly vibrate, too.

Republiklan God’s plan: “And Amen I say to you, if you send me one tariff, I will send you two tariffs back. And I will punish the wicked - and by wicked I mean those Radical Left Lunatics that are eating the dogs and the cats.”

Nicole content was banned on LW. At first it was just the usual spam, but then multiple users received PMs of extremely violent NSFW content with what appeared to be Nicole.

Won’t post what it was here, but you can go to the below link and find a comment from another user that marked it as a Spoiler. Note, it’s a trigger warning if you are sensitive to extreme violence/gore (no picture, just a text description).

When you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the neck. You can do anything.

Installing spyware and wire taps in my home was never appealing to me.
