The new tracks on MK for sure. Sunbreak every chance I get.
For side projects I'm think of an os Zelda on the S or NES I never played. I've been rhnning through Pikmin 3 with my kids. We put it down quickly after I got it for them on Xmas - but we've been into it lately. Its a great couch co-op game.

@Olliemar28 let me walk that back then. I'm not trying to offend anyone or hurt your feelings. Two adults with criticisms.

But every time anything mon related is printed a litany if complaints follows. Its the "this music is popular so i hate it vibe". It is tiresome as it is pubescent. I know, I wasted time doing the same thing for too long. I feel you.

Gl, I hope you like the game or find something you do like. If you dont play something else. Making a career hating something you loved as a 10 year old isnt cool.

Re: Nintendo Launches Huge Switch eShop Multiplayer Sale With Up To 80% Off (North America)

@boxyguy Perception of value. Companies take different approaches to creating value. Some, like Ubisoft, Capcom and indies - have sales frequently and deeply. They generate high sales but they condition the end consumer to wait.

Nintendo is more like Apple, Disney. Apple would rather throw their phones in the sea than discount. Android is perceived as a peasant's phone - and it is. Apple is content being premium. Nintendo would rather throw all of the copies of 1-2 Switch into the sea than cheapen their overall branding. Otherwise they'd what? Make a few 100K? Nothing worth cheapening their brand.

They make their consoles inexpensive as a lead-in to their more expensive, properly priced games. Diff'rent strokes to rule the world.

I just started Slay the Spire. I can see why it made such a big splash.
I'm trying to re-learn Monster Hunter to only now dive into Sunbreak. I think it's harder to start at rank 200 after taking a long break than it was to start the game the very first time. At least the first time the Mons were weak. Re-learning on 7 Star beasts isn't that easy. I hate being a team liability.
