I said it before: playing Spiritfarer soon before spending a month living with my dying Dad.

I have other examples: but this said: gaming is good for my mental health.

@Andy_C444 I actually bought the game a few weeks ago on sale. For half price, it is worth it. I am not a fan of the micro transactions: so I don't use them. But there is more than enough content to have a good arcade type racing time. It is a fun time.

Great video: wow! The animation is excellent but also the story telling is well done for the short length.

@MarioBrickLayer I couldn’t have said it better.

Yes, I got this game soon after launch. I beat several levels, and I love the music. But I guess my rhythm is not so good, I had a hard time getting farther. I actually thought of this game recently as one to redownload.

I absolutely love this game! I played digital and loved it. I bought physical and have yet to play it. Now with final fixes, it may be time. I highly recommend this great game!

@Richnj I like what you said: the non toxic voices need to start drowning out the toxic ones.

Spiritfarer: last year I lived with my Dad for a month before he died. Though I played Spiritfarer months before that, parts of the game gave me strength. I was truly like Stella in the game, doing little quests for my Dad.

Games can be incredible mental and spiritual touchstones that guide us and encourage us.

@Losermagnet I hope you can get to a better place. I send you thoughts of strength!

I went back to Mario Maker 2 and tried some of my levels: it was fun! Looking at my levels I could see how much time that I put into that game. It is a great game!

I am alternating Hot Wheels Unleashed with Grid: two different racers that are fun to play back to back. And Rocket League.

Happy gaming everyone!

@SleepyAnimal Gris is a beautiful game. I did get the soundtrack digitally and I love the music. Enjoy!

Wow! With more than 600 hours in the game I can barely understand this story. Now I think I am done with the game, but it is still a good story!

@Watchman Thank you! I know a little about personality traits, but I want to know more now. I will definitely read more about it. Reading your post again, it is funny, and there is also truth there. Thanks for posting it!

@Watchman Wow! That is so deep and rings so true! Are these your thoughts or did you find them somewhere? I only ask because I want to know more. Thanks for posting!

it has been two weeks since I last played Animal Crossing New Horizons. That was a great game.

I am almost finished Kirby, I have been taking it slow and enjoying every minute! Rocket League, Travel Mosaics and,

I am really liking the Hot Wheels Unleashed. Having played many of the racing games on switch, this one is similar but different in that it really feels like racing little cars. The tracks are great and the music is cool. Of course, the micro transactions are annoying, as is the adverts for DLC. But, except for that, it is a fun game.

Happy gaming everyone!

Kirby! What a fun game! Also picked up Hot Wheels unleashed on a half price sale and it is pretty fun so far. Also Rocket League: recently became a transcendental master.

Happy gaming everyone!

These are two great games! They are in my short list of racing games. I have played many racing games on switch, what I like about these two is the mechanics feel so good, the visuals are nice and the load time is quicker than other racers.

I am curious about the sound test disc: there is only a little music during loading (which I like) otherwise is it just the motor sounds? That would be cool.

This article is utterly fantastic! It takes the buttons we mash every day with nary a thought and gives them life and meaning.

Thank you, Ms Gray, for a very good read!

Its been a week since I have played Animal Crossing and I do not regret putting that game down to play Kirby. Kirby is excellent!

Rocket League, Travel Mosaics and Rush Rally 3.

Happy gaming everyone!

Yay, Kirby! I am enjoying almost every minute of this game!

After two years I finally stopped my daily visits to my island on New Horizons. Thank you, Kirby!

I love Animal Crossing, and I have played many many games in the past two years. But I would always spend at least twenty minutes each day on my island.

But as I started Kirby, I really wanted to jump all in and spend all my gaming time on this game. It is really a fun time!

Kirby! Rocket League! Mario Kart!

Happy gaming everyone!

I am loving this game and I just hit 2%. Wow.

I love the article, yes yes!

And I don't have a problem with "escapism" We need to "escape" our daily environment to create a better perspective for ourselves and our world. Like escaping into books, escaping into video games brings adventure, exploration, understanding, joy and yes, sometimes sadness.

I am loving Kirby!

Kirby, Rocket League, finishing Fenyx Immortals Rising, Animal Crossing and racing with kids the new Kart DLC.

Happy gaming!

@Anti-Matter Congratulations on the robot! The robot is the last thing that I would like to do, but probably will not be able. I believe I am missing the recipe for a rocket (different than the other rocket) and I think Celeste gives that recipe. But I still love the game.

What was the final thing that you got to put the robot together?

@smithpa01 I am sorry! That is not good.

@Fizza I am sorry! I understand.

@CharlieGirl Great picture! I can't figure out how to post a picture but we have Terraby and Iona. Considering they live in the same room with the tv and switch, they have experienced many many games. They would love this game, I am sure!

Spiritfarer, Far: Lone Sails, Aerial Knight.

@MischiefMaker I loved playing Hob! I agree with the frame rate issues but it still stands out as a great game! I love the visuals and the soundtrack. It is the kind of game that I didn't mind backtracking because it was just so cool to be in that world. Enjoy it!

Fenyx Rising (getting near the end). Far Changing Tides (great game). Rocket League.

Today will be my 100th K.K. concert in New Horizons.

Happy gaming everyone!

Part of my job is to train new hires. One thing I often say is that bosses have one job: get as much done in as little time as possible. And I tell them bosses can be jerks--it's not right, but it is permissible at my job. Harassment is difficult to prove, but, I tell them, if you think somethings not right, tell someone.

While I do believe people (and companies) are innocent until proven guilty, allegations need to be investigated. Since it has become public, I think an independent organization needs to look into this. Ultimately an investigation would be good not only for employees but for the company in the long run.

I can't believe I played New Horizons almost every day since launch. This is a great game. I am about to attend my 100th K.K. Concert.

Hey I get people's dislike: I dislike other games.

But in my view, Animal Crossing is a masterpiece.

Coming to the end of Fynex Rising, great fun! Rush Rally 3, Rocket League but my favorite new game:

Far: Changing Tides!!!

I am only about an hour in but I am savoring every moment. It is even more beautiful, more atmospheric, more engaging than the previous game, Far: Lone Sails. I am loving playing Far: Changing Tides!

I was hesitant, but the demo was good. My only concern is paying full price for this game. I just must wait for reviews.

This might be good for me: I've tried Olli olli and Tony Hawk. I like those games, but I don't have the time to invest in getting good. And, honestly, for me, the reward of being able to do a multi button technique is not worth the effort.

But, a chill game like this might be for me.

I am glad that I am not the only one still playing this game!

This looks super great! When is it coming?

This looks great! I am not even a fan of the music (but I appreciate its beauty) and I want to play this game! I love the look and the way the music goes with the platforming.

@westman98 Thanks for the link! Amazing!

@MrGawain thank you for that explanation: I needed that!

As a big fan of Wayforward, I can't wait!

Animal Crossing New Horizons (I can't believe that I am still playing this and creating new things on my island!)

Immortals Fenyx Rising: I liberated Athena and Aphrodite and I am finally getting into the swing of the whole game system. Yes, it is similar to BotW, but the dialog, the humor, is so much fun.

Rush Rally 3: The Rush Rally Origins is great, so is this game!

Happy gaming everyone!

I will probably get it: but I am knee deep in Fenyx, still playing ACNH and racing games. And, I know that I want Kirby. I just gotta keep thinking about money and time available.

@1UP_MARIO I am about to head to work (US) so don't worry, I am on my way.

Fenyx, Rush Rally 3, ACNH, RL.

Happy gaming every person!

I liked Picross and especially Picross 3D, but then I found Travel Mosaics. That is another game with several iterations. But the game play is much better than Picross, imho.

But if they put Picross 3D on switch, it is a day one purchase for me.

New Horizons, Burnout Paradise, Fynix Rising. I am enjoying this game loop!

Happy gaming everyone!

ACNH, Burnout Paradise, Fynex Immortals Rising, Travel Mosaics and a little Rocket League.

Happy gaming everyone!
