Hey, guys. 😃
Check this out my gameplay right now.
I'm playing Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart on Nintendo Switch.

The graphic was WOW, running in fluid 60 fps and 1080p. I have never expected Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart looked so great on Nintendo Switch. 😃

I’ve been playing the The Office game on mobile and it’s honestly depressing.

It’s not only a hilariously basic and uninspired advertisement-heavy wait-athon game with insultingly expensive micro transactions that no one on their right mind would even consider paying for.

That would be fine.

But it’s also a buggy mess. The game only saves whenever it wants to, and actually might revert your progress at random. The game will sometimes just softlock for no apparent reason, requiring to restart the app, which you guessed, makes you lose progress. Sometimes that lost progress includes unlocking new characters that don’t get unlocked again because the game somehow remembers you’ve seen these events before, so they stay in limbo. The “music” cuts off if you enter menus and doesn’t come back unless you go and turn it off and on again in the settings, graphics fail to load at times too. Oh and did I mention the game has a hard time keeping track of your progress? Even just switching between the regular story mode and the special event they’re currently running makes the progress of both modes reset to arbitrary points in time.

So even if opening the app and seeing the money go up and unlocking new cutscenes can be fun in short bursts, the game can and will make you do everything twice.

@Eel Love the show but I will never do that to myself. There is a reason those games are free.

Are you guys ready for today? Because I’m so not ready for today!

@Link-Hero I only had to see 10 seconds into the show, and I got “I’m watching my figure” to that comment to then get responded with “don’t worry, I’m watching it for you” then a wink, like dude, was I watching do oooor? Really cursed stuff.

@Snatcher
I was playing Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart on Nintendo Switch this morning.
You can see the photo I posted above. ☝

@Anti-Matter I hate today already lol. ( fr good April fools joke.)

@Eel There's an Office video game? Since when?

Sorry for being a tiny bit late on responses. Yesterday I bought Privateer 2 thanks to a GOG sale, and when I finished playing it, I ended up playing a few rounds of Paladins with a friend.

@Snatcher Hope you enjoy it, I'm up to level 4 on Earthworm Jim 2. Level 3 is nightmare fuel, lol.

@MarioLover92 Yeah definitely, I watched along with her, she was telling me all the features it had. It had a really long theme song (I know the song thanks to a Disney's Greatest Vol 2 CD), a news reel (mostly kid friendly stuff), a cast of kids called the Mousketeers who did skits and songs, and a Mickey cartoon. Mom remembered this all as she was watching. Really surprising seeing her get nostalgic over a show from her childhood, in the same way I do with games and older cartoons.

Yeah, all I had was this Mickey tape, and an old Winnie the Pooh tape called "A Blustery Day" when I was little... now I want to see if that's on Disney+. That sounds like a good documentary to watch.

Been getting back into some Castlevania with Portrait of Ruin on DS. I have such a weird relationship with Metroidvania games, they don't interest me like 95% of the time but when I get into one, I'm hooked until it's finished. Just trying to beat Dracula without getting severe hand cramps now.

In real life my wife and I have been going back and forth for baby scans, got a bit of peace of mind yesterday so we'll see what fate hands us now.

Hiya, I got another two games in the evening. 😃

And also, today is my 4th anniversary of my PS4 Slim purchase day. I bought PS4 Slim White 500 GB Asia region on 1 April 2018. 😃

@Fizza it’s fairly new, it just came out of nowhere on the AppStore.

Hey guys...you may want to check the SNES app on the Switch. I went ahead and updated it, and I can't believe they did this, but they also added Mario is Missing and Mario's Time Machine to the Switch's SNES catalog. Really, Nintendo? Why would you guys do this?! Really surprised that Nintendo Life hasn't even covered it. I think it's better that you go ahead and see for yourself.

@Sunsy That sounds nice, I may give that a watch out of curiosity. That's cool, we also had a whole bunch of those Disney sing-along tapes when I was real young. I'm hoping to give that making-of documentary a watch, especially with how smooth Disney movies animate!

Everything is better with a teeeny tiny NES + cartridges + gamepad + CRT tv

Yep, that'll look great when it's all finished, @Zuljaras .... Was there a Turtles game on there he'd play?

@BruceCM Yes ofc!

Castlevania is in the console and the other 3 outside are:

1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
2. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game
3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project

Cool, I'm sure he'd love to play those, @Zuljaras ....

@TheStardustWarrior You will see when I release the making video, probably next week

But it was fun making things on such a small scale

@TheStardustWarrior I will definitely post it in the Artists thread here as all of my other crafting videos. You can see the Leonardo video there

@TheStardustWarrior Happy April Fool's Day!

@Zuljaras Looks awesome, nice work.
