That doesn't even include Snow Bros Special which I just played for the first time today.

I've purchased more games for my Switch than any of my other current consoles, and yet I've played it the least this year. Of the 39 physical Switch carts I own, there are 12 that I've never played. That's approx. 30% unplayed!! ๐Ÿ˜‘

Xbox should buy its independence from Microsoft, IMO. Split off, become its own entity.

So after finishing Ace Combat 7, I had the urge to go and play Ace Combat 6 again. I have to admit...AC6 feels dummy easy after playing AC7! ๐Ÿ˜‚ You can locate and lock-onto enemies from MUCH farther away, & they don't seem to move as fast, so the machine gun is actually useful. I still love AC6. ๐Ÿ˜

Wish it were so easy (and inexpensive) for humans. I'm sure being an ANTputee isn't as big an adjustment when you had 6 legs to begin with. ๐Ÿ˜‘

Sadly it never was the norm. The internet, and social media, has just pulled back the curtain and made it easier for everyone to see.

PacMan 2. I don't care what people say, I loved this game as a kid, and will die on the hill that it's charming and cute fun! ๐Ÿ˜ค

Bit of a strange setup, I know, but I play all of my console games on my PC monitor using a 16 port HDMI auto-switcher commected to an internal capture card in my PC displayed through a full-screen OBS window. I don't own a TV, or a sofa. ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘ˆ

You'd solve your footprint problem without giving up your AI dreams, and get in early on a fairly young technology that's going to be HUGE in the future! Cuz let's face it, if it isn't huge, there won't be much of a future left anyway! Sounds like a no-brainer, right? ๐Ÿ˜€

Hey, Google. I hear you like money. In fact, I hear you'e an avid collector of it! Wouldn't it be a great idea to use some of it to not only begin a major switch over to renewable energy sources, but to fund research to make renewables more efficient?

It's 100% okay to want to learn Japanese because you enjoy anime, but do try to learn a bit about Japan itself in the process, and understand that just like TV in whatever country you're from, anime is not typically a great representation of real life in Japan.

Didn't want to name the game or character because it's kind of a surprise when you reach it, and I'm sure if I even named the game, people playing it for the first time might be spoiled on it.

Me when trying to save [spoiler] from committing suicide in [game]. The moment they jumped, before they could even hit the ground, I smashed alt+F4 and redid all my unsaved progress back to that point. Retried about 6 times before I got it right. That scene hurt me. ๐Ÿ˜ž

I've noticed there have been some people, few, but still some, trying to bring the console war crap over to Bluesky from the dead bird. So, using my years of pre-death bird experience, I have made it a point to just block these few people and move on with muh scrollin'. ๐Ÿ˜Œ

4 years ago Biden said he wouldn't run for a 2nd term. I don't hate him, but he should've stuck with that plan and helped prep someone else, preferably younger, to take the reigns much sooner. I will never vote for Trump, but to paraphrase him, they're not sending us their best.

I often find AWACS telling me to focus on my target, and to not let additional enemies distract me...but that's nigh impossible when I've got bad guys locked on and firing at me almost constantly. You get practically NO support from friendlies whatsoever. ๐Ÿ˜” I played this on Normal difficulty, btw.

Also, time limits to complete your objectives are stupidly tight. You don't get to fly around taking out secondary targets a lot of the time because you either run out of time, or run out of weapons doing so. Doesn't help that your allies are USELESS!

One big gripe I have is with the "Aircraft Tree" system of purchasing planes. Think Final Fantasy sphere grid, but with aircraft. I ultimately ended up buying a LOT of stuff I didn't want and never used just to unlock things, which always feels like a waste to me.

Aaand fin~! I've said before, I don't like this Ace Combat nearly as much as previous ones. I wouldn't say it's a terrible game, but I've got a boatload of problems with it. AC6 is still my favorite.

I'm too tall to squeeze my legs under the wheel of most tiny compact cars, but to be honest, I've never cared for ginormous beastly trucks either. I currently drive a Jeep Renegade. Small SUV. Weighs the same as a mid-sized sedan. Nice and roomy. This size vehicle is about just right for me.๐Ÿ˜Œ

Of course this doesn't mean the discs would be playable, just as PS2 and 1 discs aren't. That would be too convenient for consumers.

Story so far is decent. Not as good as AC6, IMO, but decent.

Destroy targets with busted radar. Fly through a narrow canyon. Stay below/inside the clouds. Protect some jerks from enemies you can't see. The other games had the odd stage or two with stuff like this, but AC7 it's like EVERY DANG STAGE! I just wanna dogfight! ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Ok so, I'm 15 missions in now, and I think I've pinpointed why I dislike this AC compared to AC 6 and 4. This one is more about having you do silly challenges rather than just getting out there and shooting down bad guys!

I sorta hate that regular people are referring to the type of folks discussed in this video as "gamers." A gamer is just anyone that plays video games. Gamers come from all walks of life. Some are good. Others not so good. These individuals are what we call, "douchebags." ๐Ÿ˜Œ

I never played Kileak, but I recall a video of it on the demo disc that came with my launch PS1. Only in N. America it was renamed "Kileak: The DNA Imperative." I guess "blood" was too provocative for our audiences at the time. ๐Ÿคญ

Not saying they can't get their license back. They just have to pay for, and pass, a driver's ed course. I'm a benevolent tyrant. ๐Ÿ˜Œ The 30 days in jail is non-negotiable, though. ๐Ÿ˜

So I finished Gravity Rush 2 over the weekend. Game's got some great music. The soundtrack doesn't get enough attention.

This dang song, though...it's been stuck in my head and I can't get it out! It's too...dang...catchy! ๐Ÿ˜–

I gotta be honest...so far I don't like Ace Combat 7. I'm 9 missions in and it's pretty much been, "I Can't See Sh!t" The Game. Ace Combat 6 was my favorite game on the XB360. This is kind of a disappointment. ๐Ÿ˜”

Well now that I'm done with Gravity Rush 2, I guess it's time to finally remove the factory seal on Ace Combat 7 (which I've owned, unopened, for about 4 years now ๐Ÿ˜‘).

Overstaying its welcome is the biggest problem I had with Breath of the Wild, if I'm honest. I have this on the Switch as well, but have yet to play it. Guess I should prepare for a long haul when I finally do. ๐Ÿ˜“

My gaming time for the previous 2 years were very much dominated by the Xbox Series X. This year's been mostly PS2/PS4 so far with Burnout 3, Champions of Norrath and Return to Arms, and Gravity Rush. Burnout 3 COULD'VE been Xbox time, if they'd only made it backward compatible (I have both).
