I was hoping for a broadening/fine tuning of their algorithms that generate planets and animals so we could get more varried, authored-looking landscapes.

Ok, so, developers and producers, take note. This is how you maintain a game.

I always liked NMS, I never bought into the hype, and it was what it was. Played it with my wife, too. I take breaks in between, but with this update, I will be jumping headlong into it with her again. We love co-op games.

Theoretically, you could have eight instruments; since the Switch can pair a max of four pairs of Joy-Cons at a time.

Very impressive! Makes me wonder if you can’t synch up several JoyCons to get a concerto going.

PoGo has been a thing with me since it came out, but you’re right it’s a lot more fun now. Raids, Field Research tasks, and Special Research projects add a lot of body to the game. If you can find a local group (usually through Discord, or Facebook Messenger :barf:), you’ll have no problem organizing fairly locally.…

This doesn’t really have anything to do with the app itself, but that video now has 20 million views, only 8 million less than the Mario Odyssey trailer. It’s so charming that people would have come back to watch it multiple times. For a parental settings app! Good work putting that together, Nintendo.

I can’t stop watching the .gif of Bowser Jr. getting kicked off the Switch before hitting the checkered flag. It’s simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking...

I love the mobile utility - I was able to bust my 10 year old with it a few weeks ago. He was waking up early to get some Switch time in before school. He denied it. I showed him the evidence.

I have mixed feelings. I want to share this particular interest with my kids, but I don’t want to let it turn into an addiction like it did with me. These controls will help.

I’ve seen parents exchange their kid’s friend codes with other parents at various video game events. Then I found out my cousin did the same thing with his son.

also excercise gives you energy and keeps your mind focused.

i don’t really do long gaming sessions like i used to, but if i don’t exercise in a few days, i’m sluggish and tired. If i do 40 miles on my bike, or hit the weights, I feel tired like 1 day, but generally pumped despite being a little sore

even dirt simple…

For me its less gotta show off the Instagram (i dont even have one!) and more like...I see myself and know for a fact with working out I can look good. Its just putting in the effort I suck at and need to work on.

Hit the gym, fellow nerds!

Huh. It’s pretty common around here in DC. Landmark theaters with smaller screens. Arclight theaters. Last night I went to a Majestic theater. It also had recliners.

Affinity affects your chances of doing higher or lower than normal damage. Negative affinity means you’re more likely to do weaker attacks, higher affinity means a higher chance of doing stronger attacks. Armor skills can also be used to compensate for low affinity weapons.

I see you chose Easy Mode.

I have that, except with Wailord.

That or “we’ve been taking turns with the switch just fine until now but now that the Pokemon games are out for it that’s just not gonna cut it anymore”

Seriously though. Or more likely, “my family has all been sharing on one Switch but we were finally able to find a second one for Christmas so my freeloading children need to offload their shit and leave me alone to gather Korok seeds in peace”.

I was able to play FFXIV:ARR between the birth of my second and third kid. We had our third kid January of 2015 and Destiny 2 is the first game I have jumped into with the hopes of trying to play some multiplayer.
