480frames-please

I'm still playing Tears of the Kingdom all the time. I've been having tons of fun finding clothing and armor (including 4 items I really like that aren't in vanilla totk), thoroughly exploring Thunderhead Isles, and just soaking in the beauty of the game. I've been playing TOTK on Switch and on laptop, but on laptop I just started using lossless scaling again. After some trouble I've got it humming along using the 4 times multiplier for frame rate, so it takes my emulated 60fps and makes it look like 240fps. I absolutely love it! There are flaws, and when I look closely, intentionally, at certain details I can see break up of the motion clarity, but I'm going to always use this from now on.
I also got my Mig Switch Dumper a couple days ago! I'm so happy to have this wonderful little device. Wish I had it years ago! I loaded up Kirby and the forgotten land and was quickly able to get it running at 60fps on laptop, then used lossless scaling to bring it up to 240. What a gorgeous game. I'm glad I waited to play it at a higher frame rate (I expected to use it on a Switch Pro or 2, but it's great on laptop). I highly recommend the Mig Switch Dumper.
I'm also excited about Warside. The Nintendolife article got me to try the Steam demo. Warside runs perfectly, looks beautiful, has awesome music, and I'm just really looking forward to January when it releases!
Also on laptop I've been playing Zelda 2 the adventure of Link PC enhanced edition. Some huge fan of the game improved it and added a second quest and even more after that. It's beautiful and seems popular with youtubers I've watched play it.
Speaking of youtube I really liked Dammit Jeff's video about Xbox 360 and PS3 emulation. He also mentioned Nintendo being "out for blood" so he didn't cover Switch emulation, which is too bad, since I love watching coverage like that.
I'm also still loving Zelda Dungeons of Infinity. I hope to get to the arcade in the village soon!
Finally, also on laptop I'm supremely enjoying Rocket League, Wipeout Phantom Edition, and Ufouria 2 (all locked at 240fps!).
On Steam deck I've been playing Fallen Aces (amazingly fun and polished kicking and throwing gangster stuff!), Leap Year (awesome puzzle platformer with amazing sound design), UFO 50 (might be my GOTY, love it!), and Mario Adventure 3 (thanks to Time Extension for alerting me to this gem!).
Have fun with your games everyone!
I've got to add that I'm also very impressed by Fron Reilly on YouTube. Amazing music! I was thinking I'd like to hear it in a Zelda game. I'm also wondering if his rotating instrument is used in the Kingdom games.

I'm enjoying my unrestricted ownership interest in all the games I own! By that I mean the cartridges I finally have access to via my awesome Mig Switch Dumper and all the ROMs I've gotten, which I've realized over the course of 2024 I feel much more of a sense of ownership and freedom over vs the worthless eshop purchases I've unfortunately made over past years. I'll be skipping the corporate lawyer crap from now on and stick to old fashioned owning my games!

I'm going to try the steam demo right away. I'm pretty hyped for this release!

People are talking about internal storage vs micro SD card, but based on many excellent online videos showing a jailbroken Switch playing with higher memory clock speed I think that memory clocks makes the difference. CPU and GPU clocks obviously have an effect too, but increasing those memory clock speeds seems critical. It's amazing to see an unlocked OLED Switch running TOTK basically locked at 60fps, even in towns and heavy areas. I wish my Switch was free! (Free to adjust settings and install games I want, like any open system).

It's a good video from DF that shows all the important tech details, the kind of stuff I'm often wondering about with new releases. I thought it was a well done video showing the tech, sampling the music, and complimenting the devs on the general gameplay and design. I just received my Mig Switch Dumper today, and am hoping the frame rate issues can be cleaned up when playing the game on a more powerful system. I haven't seen anything yet online showing Echoes of Wisdom running locked at 60, but I'd guess it's possible on a jailbroken Switch(which allows the awesome feature of increasing clock speed on CPU, GPU, and memory) or via emulation. We'll see!

I'm playing tons of hours of Tears of the Kingdom the second quest these days. I finally beat the game for the second time (the first time was a couple months after it released), but this time I had all the dragon's tears so I got the extra ending scene. What a lovely experience! TOTK is my favorite game and I cannot get tired of it. I also got the earthquake manual for the first time this week. I was having trouble getting it so I went online and saw people saying it's easy, you just have to beat 9 Yiga in 1 minute. Well, in the second quest they buffed it to 20 in 1 minute! I still completed it fairly quickly, but burned through a lot of resources and used the Mystic Headpiece to maintain almost constant bullet-time firing puffshrooms (also nerfed in 2nd quest!) and other powered up arrows constantly. I've still never found the climbing shirt or any zonai armor, so I'm looking forward to hunting down armor in the depths and caves. I'm so grateful to Nintendo, echocolat, masagrator, maxlastbreath, and all the modders and programmers who love the game as much as I do.
On Miyoo Mini I've been playing super fun Pico 8 games: Pico Tetris seems no frills at first, but I found it hard to stop playing and realized it is very well made, Hybris is a really fun shootem up that feels like it could've been on Atari 2600, Cyclo 8 is like Elasto Mania for 2600 and I love it! Also on Miyoo Mini + I've been enjoying Picross 2 (trans from Japanese gameboy game), Super Mario Land, and Dimahoo.
On OLED Deck I've been blown away by UFO 50 (totally agree with Damo's 10/10 over on Time Extension!) which I've only played 30 minutes of, but can imagine playing for at least 30 to 40 hours and not being even close to done with all the awesome games included in the package. Amazing music, gameplay, variety, etc! Also just started Parking Garage Rally Circuit and it has made me smile over and over! In the options it has "PC port" which kinda makes it look like a decompilation! It plays perfectly with awesome controls, lovely music, fun tracks, great online play (the opponents can be low frame rate while the track and everything stays locked at 90fps), and it simply nails the Saturn look and feel. I'm also very impressed with Cato, a physics platforming sort of puzzle game that feels ultra polished and fun. Night Reverie has also amazed me with it's music, atmosphere, and visuals! And I've been having fun with Shogun Showdown, Loddlenaut, Plants and Zombies, and Wipeout Phantom Edition (still can't get enough of this absolutely incredible version of wipeout!).
I'm also continuing to not buy anything from Nintendo, but now I also don't have hardly any interaction with them online. If they're going to threaten people's jobs and be jerks then I'll treat them as the obscene shady corporation they are (I love how people are posting videos with blurred Nintendo gameplay, like it's obscene footage!). I wish there wasn't backwards compatibility with the next system since I love what fans do and hate the way Nintendo acts.
Well, happy gaming everyone, and take care!

@JohnnyMind The dev has been encouraging seeding it via torrenting(as a protective measure against Nintendo). So it should be widely available for anyone with a VPN and access to torrent services. Should be safe, thankfully!

Dungeons of Infinity is awesome. It truly seems like a very high quality release and another gem from the fan community. I've only played a little while, but I've been loving the online gameplay videos. I love the villages and can't wait to try the arcade (if I can make it that far!)!

@JohnnyMind I think it's complete. Dev said he spent 4 years full time making it. It is awesome.

I've finally collected all the memories (tears, geoglyphs) in Tears of the Kingdom. And now I'm in the desert getting ready to beat the game for only the 2nd time. It's amazing that the game is 1.5 years old and there's still so much I haven't done in it!
I'm also pretty amazed at how good Zelda: Dungeons of Infinity is. An amazing fan/programmer from Manitoba created this awesome roguelike from Link to the Past art over the past 4 years. It is very much worth playing!
The other awesome new game for me is What the Car? It's super fun and creative like their previous What the Golf? I'm also playing Kingdom Eighties, Cobalt Core, Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu 6 (beautiful 60fps N64 game on Steam Deck), Taiji (awesome, smooth playing puzzle game like a 2D The Witness), Mario Kart 64 Remade (this is now my second favorite racing game after Wipeout Phantom Edition. It is so fun, fast, and smooth to control — better than Mario Kart Wii, which I also just played to compare), Wipeout Phantom Edition (absolutely love seeing it running at 240fps!), Rocket League (this is also awesome at 240fps, I don't really like the way it looks at 90fps on OLED Deck), Dr Mario Online DX, Gran Turismo 3, and Ship of Harkinian.
Tea of the weekend is Wuyi Yan Cha, so delicious! And a Youtuber came into my work, which lead me to watch his stuff, which lead me to restarting watercolors (he does nature journaling), so that's fun!
I've been happy to see Wulff Den supporting Retro Game Corps, and Waikuteru supporting other Youtubers attacked by Nintendo. I also learned about YouTube itself attacking Youtubers this week. Hopefully we can create a new video sharing format that is more along the lines of Linux, or Wikipedia, or something that supports the common good.
Take care and have fun!
Edit: after playing more Mario Kart 64 Remade I started having some trouble staying on the tracks. So wider beginner courses make it seem very smooth and easy and fast to control, I guess. Still, a great fan creation based on Mario Kart Wii building blocks.

I'm finding new memories, completing the froggy suit collection (felt sad to be at the final closed down stable), and surviving the elements on a pillar. It's amazing how much is packed into TOTK. It's continually fun to explore and experiment with. I've also been playing as the awesome full Zonai version of Link (with his great gray fur), hunting golden enemies (I got a cool gold horriblin horn), and collecting more builds from the Hyrule Engineering group.
On Deck I've been having fun playing Ball-it Hell (a really fun game where you play as a dot with a bat aiming at dots and triangles on the edge of sort of water droplet. It has very pleasing music, 90fps graphics, and great gameplay), Frontline Crisis (slightly shootem up and tower defense, and feels like a lost DS classic), Pilotwings 64, Mario 64 coop deluxe, Ynglet (awesome little game from Nifflas. It looks amazing at 90fps on Deck and at 240fps on my laptop), satryn deluxe (fun berserk/robotron style game!), and 2 romhacks by bluesheep Daisy's Crazy Adventure and Mario's Ruined Seclusion (both seem excellent so far with fun gameplay and awesome music, some original, some from many classic games).
Movie of the week is The Mourning Forest by Naomi Kawase. She always seems to always make incredible films about authentic connection that include wonderful characters who heal, or transform, or demonstrate vulnerability or non-judgement (or acceptance) in a fresh way.
Also, I guess Ball-it Hell is AKA Circle Hitter.

Also, it was fun reading the comments on this video where Nifflas talks about how long it took to create each support structure.
In contrast, I was amazed at how a first time Zelda player used a single board for her first Addison support in a video I watched recently. It barely stood up, with a heavy lean, then had that lean after Addison secured it.

@SalvorHardin I guess the mod is actually called "streamlined repetitive events". It just has a picture of that take my rupees meme

@SalvorHardin You might like the mod Shut Up and Take My Rupees! I haven't tried it yet but I've played enough hundreds of hours of TOTK that I think my body is ready for it!

I watched this a few days ago and it lead me to getting the awesome Ynglet. Such cool stuff!

Well I got a new laptop and the first thing I tried was Kingdom New Lands. I was expecting it to stutter and chop like always, but it runs quite nicely. Then I tried Wipeout Phantom Edition and it runs locked at 240fps, like I expected. This was the first time I've seen 240, so it was pretty exciting to see such perfect smoothness while playing my favorite racing game ever! Then I tried Tears of the Kingdom and it is dreamy. I've just been playing it at 60fps, but there's hardly any stutters, and I also played it at 1600p, and it's just a wonderful experience. I built this vehicle out of 3 long sticks (from a beachside lizalfos camp), 1 fan, and 1 steering stick. Then I put on the Mystic Headpiece and found that the thing can jump off rocks (this is The Second Quest mod, so I've got low gravity turned on). That was fun, but then I hit a really good jump and discovered this vehicle can fly, barely. I ended up flying 2/3 of the way across Hyrule, then adding elevator rails to it while changing the fan position. Now my crazy vehicle could make it to the sky. TOTK is such a blast!
I've also been playing TOTK on Deck with Standalone Recollection, or whatever the mod is called (it has about 40 new weapons and 15 new armor sets), along with a companion mod that let's you collect poes when you are within 10 or so meters (no button press required, you just vacuum them up!). So I've been having fun flying around the depths collecting 2000 poes so I can buy a Yaksha mask and Ridley's body. It looks awesome.
I've also been playing Tempest 4000 at 240fps which is eyeball meltingly good. And I love Haunted Castle Revisited on the new Castlevania collections, which I've been playing on Deck.
Lastly, I'm hoping Waikuteru can get Nintendo into court, like he's saying he wants to do. It seems likely he could defeat them, which would be awesome since they're trying to destroy his YouTube channel. Nintendo can suck it!

In reference to the first 2 comments I'm thinking of Russ at Retro Game Corps and how many views he gets. I'd say people are interested!

Looks like a sweet device. I've bought a number of devices like this over the years and one of my main concerns has been charging, and keeping a charge. My older Anbernic 350 whatever does pretty good, but my newer Miyoo mini + doesn't hold it's charge (almost like it never turns off, just sleeps) and it seems difficult to charge (like a regular USB C cable gets it too hot, has to be a slow weak old USB C cable and brick). These little handheld are a blast though, and they'll hopefully become even better soon with more and more decompilations and recompilations coming out that have low power requirements (I'd love a tiny handheld that could run wipeout phantom edition, Majora's Mask, Ocarina of Time, and Mario 64 at 60 or 120fps!).

I saw this got a new trailer a day or so ago. I'm hyped to try it. Also excited they apparently had a steam deck logo in the trailer.
More Advance Wars is always welcome!

Tears of the Kingdom: The Second Quest! I've put in about 130 hours on this megamod (combo of Cook or Die, Armor mods, etc etc) and was starting to think it's not THAT different from vanilla TOTK, then I got the Mystic Headgear and read that it reduces gravity. I thought, that's not correct! But I put it on and discovered I can now have low gravity anywhere, anytime! I've had so much fun blowing up boko camps in low G! It's super fun exploring the surface and depths with moon gravity. I also love how I can get bullet time anywhere with it. I also just today realized there two extra difficult species of Aerocuda in this mod. There's Aerowanas and Aeropaimas, which I was always running away from at first, but now I've got 21 hearts, attack up armor, etc. So I'm glad to get their wings and eyes. I've also had this "gale boomerang" and just realized that's also not in the vanilla game. Oh, and I've finally completed the election quest in Hateno for the first time, and there's all this armor Cece is selling that's new to me (and isn't in the vanilla game). And of course I'm getting tons of awesome Shema Stones and Yiga Schematics from excellent Hyrule Engineer folks. I also really like the weather changes both on the surface and underground. There's lots of improvements coming along, but it's already an absolutely awesome mod for a masterpiece of a game. One last favorite thing I've been having so much fun with is using the low gravity mystic headpiece with glide shirt and tights so I can maneuver around in such a fun way anywhere I want. Oh, and a Depths battle with a Frox was amazing cuz it would flip me up and I'd hit the ceiling of the Depths, then dive down and bomb it, I swear it was a ballet of awesome Zelda fighting, so fun!
I've also been playing BOTW and TOTK on Switch. Had an awesome moment where it stopped raining and I saw Farosh with a rainbow above her. I started a new file in BOTW and had fun completing the Great Plateau then rushing to get Majora's Mask (it's right there below!) and the full Phantom Gannon set (totally doable with 4 hearts if you're sneaky and fast). Also been playing Advance Wars 1 + 2, NES Championship, and Mario Maker 2 on Switch.
On Deck I've been very impressed with Tactical Breach Wizards, Thank Goodness You're Here!, and Terra Nil (all run at 90fps!). Worm Jazz is good too, but requires setting the screen to about 47fps to get a smooth experience. I've also been playing Rocket League on my laptop.
I also saw a deer while at the beach! It was up on a cliff, so weird to see. The other cool thing recently is I've been having fun dealing with a peach tree that produced about 700 peaches this year! Had to cut branches, pick daily, give peaches away at work, cook with them, etc. It's been a fun adventure!
Have fun everyone!

Almost all my gaming time is taken up by The Second Quest. I just got the froggy leggings, got the whole band together (stable trotters), completed the Spirit Temple, and got a couple awesome schema stones/yiga schematics including one I saw in a YouTube video about a year ago (it's a car that can go up any slope and other awesome features). I'm in that goldilocks place with the difficulty. I'm no longer getting one-shotted by low level enemies, but still have respect and give space to chu-chus, aerocudas, and keese (and their follow-up beese!). I've also played with the calamity armor set and it is awesome. I've also been playing some vanilla TOTK on my Switch, and that's great too as long as my TV does motion interpolation (sometimes it says the feature isn't available and I have to do a factory reset on it. I hate smart TVs!).
I've also enjoyed the Bakeru demo (wish it was locked at 60fps, it looks and plays great when it is at 60). And I'm also still enjoying NES championships and Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble. I do wish Banana Rumble was on other systems so I could play it at a higher frame rate.
And I'm also still enjoying Doom 1 and 2 with all the infinite new stuff they've added and opened up for us to enjoy it with.
I got excited about getting Prince of Persia for Steam Deck, but then read about how it has Denuvo and requires an online connection to play. That kind of stuff makes me want to never buy another Ubisoft game! I hope they knock it off with all this garbage soon!
Have fun everyone!

Mostly all the time playing The Second Quest. Feels like I could play it for years, but I'm also getting pretty excited about Dark Army Resurrection (especially since one can toggle off the hardest features). I'm also playing Rocket League on laptop.
On OLED Deck I'm also playing TOTK, but not second quest. Also on Deck I'm loving the new Doom 1 + 2 rerelease. So many awesome features, and so beautiful at 90fps! Also on Deck I'm really impressed with Steamworld Heist 2. It has such perfect gameplay, such awesome music, and gorgeous graphics locked at 90fps, I love it! I was going to get World of Goo 2, but it's not on Steam and I don't feel like setting it up on desktop mode after getting it DRM-free off their website (I'm too lazy to support an awesome DRM-free release, sorry!). Also on deck I've been having a lot of fun with Gran Tourismo 2, NES remix, Gun-Nac, Peglin (awesome Peggle roguelike game), BOTW, and TxK.
I broke my pirate ethics and got Monkey Ball banana rumble and NES Championships. So on Switch I've been enjoying those 2. Banana Rumble should be called Monkey Ball 3, it's great except for the dropped frames in single player and the unplayable choppy multi-player (I can't stand it, lol!). I've been enjoying NES remix 1 and 2 on my Steam Deck, which has warmed me up to play Nintendo World Champ NES edition. It has amazing presentation with great menus, perfect music, and lots of fun challenges. I would've liked if they dropped Ice Climbers and replaced it with Wrecking Crew, and added about 30 other NES games too! Ryukahr has a great review of it on youtube. Anyways, I hope they go wild with remix type levels and creativity for SNES next!

My big game win of the week was Scrabble. I made a lot of big fun plays. Otherwise I've been acquiring more armor/clothes for Link in The Second Quest. I'm still surprised at how I'm enjoying the extra challenge of things like not being able to eat raw food, having limited meal space, almost getting killed by baby froxes cuz their tops are armored like turtles or something, and just simply having to run away from lots of enemies because I can't handle them. I've also been playing the regular mode of TOTK but with stuff like infinite zonai wings (I love gliding around for as long as I want, and as long as I have altitude). I'm also playing Kingdom Two Crowns, Rocket League, and Wipeout Phantom Edition.
I'm drinking Iceland Tea Garden Pu-erh (it's from China, of course), reading Heart Without Measure (Ravi Ravindra is one of my favorite authors), and listening to Cut Copy.
Have fun everyone!

I'm visiting friends and family and the only games I'm playing are Azul and Bananagrams. Azul is a pretty good table top game with different colored chips and multi-round points build up. Also been enjoying Mary Oliver, a book about a famous Native American potter/artist, and Becoming Earth: how our planet came to life, which is an awesome page turner science book written with grace and great heart. I've loved learning about micro- and macro-organisms creating soil, caves, metal veins, and possibly affecting plate tectonics. About to jump into the chapter about water.
I've also watched some Stranger Things, which is fun because I like comparing the depths to the upside down.
I've also watched some YouTube videos wondering what schema stones (by which Youtubers) I'll find next once I'm able to dive back into the second quest.
Have fun everyone, and take care out there!

@electrolite77 Have fun gaming my friend!

Yeah, but it's mainly because Nintendo stole computers and millions of dollars from free open source emulation developers. So now I enjoy Switch games on Yuzu and Suyu and don't plan to give any more money to Nintendo. I hope they get their act together because I enjoyed being a Nintendo fan and buying their games. But I'll be fine being a Nintendo fan who never buys their games, so I guess it's whatever. I hope they at least stop attacking modders and Youtubers. That would be a step forward for gaming and show a little bit of ethics on Nintendo's part.

I've basically dropped all other games for Tears of the Kingdom. I've been dabbling with various mods and cheats (really like all the new designs for armor with the female Link mod, also love the infinite wings and balloons with long lasting zonai devices mod). But once I started The Second Quest a few days ago I knew I'd found the best mod I've ever played. It's basically the master mode that I didn't know I wanted for TOTK. I've been killed (1 shotted) by chu chus, keese, lowest level constructs, etc. I took the excellent recommendation of the Second Quest devs and started a new file with the mod. So the first construct I saw taught me that this is a different experience! It was somewhat difficult to dispatch! I've been getting as many shrines as possible and almost only getting hearts (I usually max out stamina while mostly ignoring hearts) cuz I need them for survival. Oh yeah, one awesome experience was being chased by horriblins out of a cave. I killed horriblins out in Hyrule field, which I think is impossible in vanilla TOTK. I've gotten armor that I've never gotten in 600 hours of vanilla TOTK (many armor locations are changed). I've discovered cool weapon and armor buffs that help my mediocre skills out. I've even been surprised at how much I get a kick out of reading loading screen info tips that educated me about new attack details about enemies. On top of all that this mod has schema stones for autobuild that are from many of my favorite TOTK Youtubers! I'm also excited about the new system with cursed armor that bargainer statues can uncurse and then allow a great fairie to upgrade (I think that's how it works, haven't done that yet). A major thing that is also enhancing this experience with this mod is that I'm playing on update 1.2 so I can't use the easy duplication glitch that I've used ever since my first 240 hour playthrough. So I'm running out of stuff, hunting animals to sell valuable meat dishes to Beedle, and happy for everything I get from chests. I'm so impressed, and having so much fun with this mod! I can't wait till they improve it further with extended features, enable more dying of hopefully all armor, adding new puzzle shrines in place of blessing shrines, etc etc.
Have fun gaming everyone, and take care!
Oh yeah, I also wanted to mention I'm playing with Ultracam, so I can have frame rates up to around 70 or 80fps, and can change the weather (I get tired of rain sometimes because it reduces the frame rate), and can simply detach the camera from Link and go flying around Hyrule (it's weird to see the low detail versions of places far away from Link).

I just got the Goeman Mystical Ninja N64 recompilation set up, which is awesome. I can't wait for the choppiest N64 games to get smoothed over via recompilation (Waverace 64 might be the most needed recomp!). Oh, thanks to Time Extension for alerting me to this new recomp.
I'm very much still into Tears of the Kingdom. Just got the froggy sleeve again, so I'm looking for wet walls and cliffs to test my gear on now. I've also been playing in first person mode, which I like a lot more than I thought I would. It's super immersive and I like seeing stuff up close, like seeing bokos faces while I'm battling them. I also completed the water sage quest line again recently. TOTK is just so awesome to play. I never get tired of going down to the Depths, catching a rock to the sky, gliding around, etc. Oh yeah, a recent awesome thing was using ascend in a cave and thereby entering another cave — the "discovery" text and the name of the cave appeared on screen. Such a fun version of Hyrule to explore and play around in!
Oh, I've also been playing Kingdom Two Crowns. I've found it runs smoothest at 50fps on deck. If I set it at 90fps the game says it's running at 90, but doesn't look as smooth as it does when I set the screen to 50hz. Games can be programmed is such strange ways. Regardless, it's super fun, and I guess they're releasing some free dlc for it soon.
I'm also playing Outrun 2006 since someone released a patch making it way easier to set up and get running smoothly and at whatever resolution you want. I still haven't figured out how to decouple frame rate from game physics/logic, but it's fun and pretty as it is.
Have fun gaming everyone!

@Mince I agree and disagree. The smallant video is pretty good, well edited and entertaining. The hyrule science video is for massive Tears of the Kingdom fans who can at least mildly enjoy such a granular breakdown of details about the world of the game. The player5 video is kind of amazing, but I watched part of another blindfolded TOTK run that was better because it has a commentary explaining all the mechanics and reasons for doing what they do.
And yeah, I'm pretty obsessed with TOTK, whether it's watching it, playing it, messing with the graphics of it, or trying various mods of it.

I enjoyed this video, then watched the Hyrule science video about all the rocks in the game. Why are these videos entertaining?! Also watched player 5 beat totk blindfolded. Insane.

@jsty3105 I like your comment because it highlights how much our thoughts, opinions, and beliefs are things. If someone makes a point that seems to undercut our opinion, we can react badly. I mean, there's like thousands of years of wars and slaughters based on that kind of fear/reaction. Good stuff to look at/consider with care.
Edit: I meant to also mention how it really can feel like someone stole something from you if your opinion or belief is challenged by something they said. I've seen that over and over in myself. Very important to observe that kind of thing (at least I find that to be so for me).

@FirstEmperor I'm pretty funny, for sure. I like the profile pic, by the way. I'll never forget how humorous that guy is asking so many questions on the train ride to my first village experience/animal forest/crossing experience.

I'm mostly playing TOTK, but also enjoying the new update for Super Mario 64 coop dx (Daisy's double jump is the best!). I read Time Extension's article about Outrun 2 being updated and tried to update it, but screwed things up. So I deleted everything, reinstalled it, and got big improvements compared to what I had been playing, but it's still not all connected correctly. When I play at 90fps the gameplay is sped up. I'll figure it out eventually. Also been playing some Dimahoo and some Commodore 64 games on Miyoo Mini +
In Rocket League I had this nice experience where halfway through a match an opponent typed into chat "goalie God wtf" and I realized I'd saved every shot (my teammate hadn't done anything useful).
I've been playing the beginning of TOTK multiple times (on multiple devices), then saw a book called The Demon King while at work. So I bought and read the part about a greedy and magically powerful oppressor from Yunnan in Southwest China. Interesting stuff, even if it didn't influence the mythology of Zelda. Also reading The Once and Future Forest, which is loaded with fascinating stuff about redwood forests. Finally, a highlight for me recently was seeing a Pacific Ring Necked Snake, then about 45 seconds later seeing a California Mountain King Snake. So cool!
Happy gaming and hiking everyone!

@WiltonRoots No problem, take care. And enjoy the fireworks!

@WiltonRoots You like to attack people, which is truly sad. I'll pray for you and send you loving energy so you can hopefully heal up. And please keep your metaphors and negative creativity to yourself from now on. Thank you.

@Duncanballs I love nothing more than modded dildos on Mario's head. I'll take my stand on that hill! Lol

@WiltonRoots I really like gaming, and especially Nintendo games. I'll keep playing them, just without supporting their immorality and lack of ethics.

@Joom I generally agree with you, but in my case I will never give money to Nintendo again. So I guess anti-piracy breeds piracy?! I can look back on my life and see how strongly I've supported stuff I've liked, which includes buying things (CDs, DVDs, concert tickets, games, etc) as well as copying things like MP3s, TV and movie files, and games. But no other company or band has attacked my interests and my enjoyment like Nintendo has. They've got to be the worst corporation I've ever heard of. Like most corporations want to "capture consumers", but Nintendo attacks the crap out of gamers, Youtubers, jailbreakers, romhackers, and any Nintendo fan who doesn't play their games exactly the way they tell you to. Just a total crap corporation.

I thought I'd read that they also sued the MIG Switch cartridge maker? I recently ordered the MIG Switch dumper so I'm just hoping I get it. Maybe Nintendo will send it to me after stealing all their stock? I wish I'd never given a dime to Nintendo.

@Yalloo Recently I've played Tetris Effect on oled deck. It's quite gorgeous at 90fps. I've played more hours of it on Switch though, where I think it also looks and plays great. And yeah, it's incredible at 144fps on my laptop. I love all the music and graphics in both Tetrises (the spacy atmosphere of Effect is just as great as the cute songs, game themes, etc in Tetris 99).
I like this guessing game you and Johnny have going. Like, who can read Johnny's mind first?

After reading this review I tried the demo on my Deck and liked it. Seems like everything is on sale right now so I got Frogun 1 as well as this new one. They're fun! They're also both locked at 90fps, which I'm always happy to see. If you don't care about frame rates the 30fps on Switch looks well frame paced in the YouTube gameplay videos I watched. Enjoy!

@Yalloo Yeah, I got lucky. I was switching from TOTK to Rocket League and checked here and saw that it had just been posted.
I second Just Shapes and Beats, Odyssey, and Tetris 99! Although I prefer Tetris Effect to 99, 99 is still incredibly good.

I'm mostly playing Tears of the Kingdom. It's super fun playing from the beginning again, collecting the glide shirt, defeating Colgera, getting autobuild, getting the elevator rail, connecting the Stable Trotters, and everything else, but at a higher frame rate. I'm also playing BOTW, Rocket League, Wipeout HD, Choro Q 3, Super Mario 64 coop dx, and the PC Engine Parodius. I've also been having a lot of fun playing We Love Katamari, especially since it runs locked at 90fps on Deck.
I also loved the article on Time Extention about the creator of Worms. It feels like that article should be part of a Digital eclipse Gold Series game release with a bunch of early Worms versions and prototypes.
Also been watching graslu with all the great Perfect Dark, custom Goldeneye levels, and Perfect Dark Zero videos.
Tea of the week is iced Hojicha cuz it's hot! Song of the week is Ping Pong by Stereolab.
Have fun gaming and everything else!

I'm in trouble, lol! Just a couple hours ago, after days and days, after many hours of gameplay and glitches, I got Tears of the Kingdom running mostly locked at 60fps and with no glitches. I want to go hiking, go to work, go for bike rides, but with this available it's gonna be hard. TOTK really is my favorite game, and playing it at 60 is quite a dream come true.
A few days ago I got Demon's Souls running at 144fps and that is amazing too. Otherwise I've been playing Perfect Dark, wipeout phantom edition, Dusk 82, Fitness Boxing Fist of the north star, jump rope challenge, Jumping Flash 1 and 2 (discovered they run almost locked at 60fps on my laptop, super fun!), Choro Q 2 (also 60fps and so nostalgic for me), Parodius, BOTW (I play this at 72fps now, cuz that works very smoothly with my 144hz screen), New Super Mario Bros Wii, Wipeout 3 (can't wait for a way to play this smoothly!), The Big Catch (excellent demo, game should be awesome), Spriggan, and Super Star Soldier.
I've been enjoying Dammit Jeff and AlwaysBetOnDunc on youtube. Jeff seems like someone I know, or have seen on TV or something, super friendly. Dunc is funny, smart, and more political than any other gaming youtuber I watch.
Tea of the week is Yunnan Gold Tip from Teance. Delicious black tea! Song of the week is Ageless Beauty by Stars!
Happy gaming and love everyone!
Oh yeah, I also got that guy's(Henry Magnifico) 4k (except I use the lower res textures) remaster of Pikmin 2 set up, so I've been playing that beautiful piece of 60fps art too. Oh and also playing Gran Turismo 2 and Extreme Formula (awesome F-Zero type of racer that is quite promising).

@wiiware It's possible to play Perfect Dark at basically any resolution and frame rate. The decompilation is amazing, and has very low requirements.

@AlexanderDaniels Graslu's youtube video is great, showing all the things lacking. They also seem to know the game and how it performs on original hardware, old and new emulators, Xbox version, and the awesome decompilation (which is by far my favorite way to play this game). Playing the decompilation of this and the "1964" emulator with fixes version of Goldeneye is pretty awesome in my experience.

@Banjo- The game has been decompiled and ported to PC, so I have it running perfectly locked at 90fps on my Deck. It is amazing.

@PikaPhantom I don't know what's going on. Whenever I go to it it's the usual MVG video with him talking to the camera and I can see his face.

@PikaPhantom "Nintendo is erasing it's history" that's the exact title

@PikaPhantom Nintendo is erasing their history, that is the main title.
