I've been avoiding the Kirby demo because I don't want to spoil the experience of the full game. How long is the demo?

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

Ikr!!!

As soon as I saw that I knew this game was something special. All of Rebellion's Sniper Elite and Zombie Army Switch ports are quality, but zombie great white sharks? Only a legendary game would dare go there 😀

Well just completed my custom joy cons. Well actually I still need to replace one stick but they are for the most part completed. Now my old scratched and chipped joy cons look like new. If you have an extra set of joycons I recommend it. It is really over exaggerated about how difficult the repair is. It just takes a while( 3 hours to do 2 joy cons)

I think I can safely say Triangle Strategy is now tied with Fire Emblem for fave SRPG of all time, with the potential to surpass it if the 2nd half of the game follows through as well as the first half.

It's like, when a studio that's made several decent games suddenly nails it and just smashes it out of the park... that's Triangle Strategy.

Nice screens, @JaxonH .... So, where are you in the game now? I just finished Chapter 10 & there were things going on in that

Chapter VII Part 1

My goodness. Chapter 6 was incredible! I'd played it in the first demo a year ago, but the events which unfolded hit soooo much harder with the benefit of context from the previous 5 chapters.

Yeah, that was definitely much better with the build up, @JaxonH .... But there'll certainly be some stuff happening in Chapter 7, with plenty of things to come after that, lol

I'm counting on it!

You ever play a game where, you're so madly in love with it you have to suspend the game periodically and grapple with your emotions and how much you're enjoying it?

The first game that ever did that to me was Fire Emblem Awakening, Chapter 9. I remember closing the lid on the 3DS and just pondering the events that had taken place- I was so enthralled I actually didn't want to rush through it for fear of the game eventually ending.

It's a rare occurrence. But that's what's happening to me now with Triangle Strategy. It has all the hallmarks of a timeless classic. The insanely epic soundtrack, the memorable story, the top-shelf strategy gameplay... regardless of which angle I view the game from, I see a masterpiece. If Fire Emblem Awakening is an SRPG classic, then without question, so is this one.

Idk what else to say. I'm so in love with this game!

Yeah, definitely up among the best games, @JaxonH ... Will have to see whether it ends up being my favourite ever or not but it's certainly in the top few

Wulff Den's OLED burn test has finally reached conclusive results.

After 3,600 hours on the same exact screen 24/7 at full brightness, there are finally some signs of burn in. It's still not bad enough to make games unplayable and is mostly only visible when on a solid color screen like all white, but ya, it took 3,600 hrs on the same image at max brightness.

Given the fact I only clocked 600 hrs on Switch for all of 2021, and less than 800 hrs for all of 2020, and the fact I don't let one single image stay on the screen for 3,000 - 4,000 hrs, it would take 5 years before I even reached that much playtime, much less that much playtime with a single image. That could take 15 years, maybe 20, even 25 years.

And a new Switch will be out in 2 years, maybe 3 at most. So... ya. It's all good!

@JaxonH Not bad. I always knew that the screen would do well since I have multiple OLED screens that haven't burned in.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy there.

MH Rise is a NSO Game Trial (March 11th - 17th) while a MH Rise Sunbreak presentation happens during that time period (March 15th).

@JaxonH How on earth can you possibly leave it on the same screen without the system either going into sleep mode constantly or just keeling over for over 150 days? I'm happy burn in isn't going to be that much of an issue but I just can't understand how a test like this could even be performed?

RISE, fellow Monster Hunters!

Our time is near!

And for all you non-hunters, RISE! Your time with a free week of Monster Hunter is here!

He jerry-rigged a contraption that kept the analog stick moving on a screen shot which ensured the screen never dimmed.

Ppl who perform these kinds of tests figure all that out ahead of time.

That set of 2 holographic 12x18 Metroid Dread posters from MyNintendo, I bought a pair of cheap frames and hung one up. Didn't really have room to hang both, nor the desire.

But I think it looks good. Reminds me of the holographic cover art of Metroid Prime 2 Echoes

I still prefer Race with Ryan over than Gran Turismo / Forza / F-Zero games.
