It's only June and I'm already beyond sick of summer. How anyone enjoys the heat is a true mystery to me.

Baby Steps demo impressions: Funny, but the control gimmick wore thin on me after a very short time. It wasn't frustrating or engaging it just... wasn't fun. Personally, I don't think that this idea has legs. But that's probably just a me issue.

Looking forward to spending some time digging into demos again with the Steam Next Fest that starts tomorrow. I usually find something that catches my interest.

Quick MIO: Memories in Orbit demo impressions: Good performance, great visuals, pleasant audio. I wish the combat was a bit more engaging with dodge/block mechanics, but I still had fun even though I didn't finish the demo. Onto the wishlist to track development/impressions.

Hopefully someday we'll get a DBZ:Kakarot-style game for Invincible. Probably won't happen until the whole comic series gets adapted by Amazon, though, which will take a while. I just wish I cared for fighting games at all, I'd probably be pretty excited for Invincible Vs if I was.

Looking back it really was foolishly optimistic of me to expect the GPU market to become more reasonable by now. At least my good ol’ 3060ti still performs similarly to the 5060 from the benchmarks/reviews I’ve seen, especially since I don’t care too much about ray tracing.

I don't know if I have it in me to watch PC Gaming Show again this year. The cringe is just too much.

Yup, Xbox was the best showcase and it wasn't even close.

Props to Microsoft for actually showing other platforms that these games will be on. Seriously.

Silksong mentioned 👀 Seriously, that had better not be the only thing we see of it here, as a promotion for the sort-of-Xbox handheld.

I’m bouncing back and forth between BotW and TotK and I’d swear BotW feels faster somehow. (Or I guess TotK feels slower since it released later.) Not the frame rate, best I can tell they’re both running at 60. Can anyone else chime in and let me know if I’m making this up?

Much to my surprise, Pokemon Legends Z-A (Switch 1 version) is going to be included with the online voucher program. I still had some credit I bought from Costco at a 20% discount, making it effectively $40; $48 for the Switch 2 version. Here’s hoping Metroid Prime 4 joins the party.

Now that I got my complaining out of the way last night, **inject that new RGG straight into my veins.** I’ll never understand why the store pages aren’t ready to go for people to follow/wishlist with announcements like that. I’ll also be checking out that MIO: Memories In Orbit demo asap.

Sure was nice of them to update the name of the official stream to spoil the big reveal. 🙄 Nice thing about watching it after live is I can just skip what I don't care about. And uh... my right key sure got a lot of use... I miss "E3," but i don't really miss E3, know what I mean?

Done with work and chores, time to check out the Keighleys.

I don’t think I’ve ever said this about a Nintendo product before, but the Switch 2 genuinely feels like a premium item. The texture of the controller finish, the snappy magnetic attachment, and *that screen*. Even if it’s “only” a Switch Pro for me for a while, it is absolutely worth it to me.

Breath of the Wild is one of my gaming happy places and now it looks so good! 🥹 Oh. Right. I got the Mario Kart bundle. Should probably give that a spin.

Waiting for my Switch 2 like…

Looking forward to testing other games that don’t have specific patches for the Switch 2. Especially hoping the Xenoblade games get some sort of boost for when I finally get around to them.

Oh dang! Suddenly it went from shipping today to arriving today, and UPS tracking number says it will be here within 2-4 hours. Can’t wait!!

I kinda wonder why they needed CS3 on this only for the sprites to look like that

Genuinely glad to see all of the hype for the Marvel fighting game. Even if it’s not at all my cup of tea I could tell people would probably be psyched.

Well shoot, I finally “made it” on here. Lily is following me too. 😎

The Lumines series always hit me as more of a vibe than a game. Like an interactive screensaver with immaculate music and visual direction. I tried so hard to like it, but the gameplay element just never felt engaging enough to me. I'd rather just listen to the soundtrack on its own.

OK, fine, I'll finally give Nioh a shot. It's certainly been sitting in my library long enough. I just need to finish Expedition 33 first. And my Death Stranding replay. And my wife is wanting to get back into Helldivers 2... There's just not enough time for all of these games. 🥲

I swear I'm not trying to be contrarian or overly negative, but not a single reveal from the State of Play looked interesting to me. 🥲 At least we are getting more free Astro Bot.

I kind of regret not going for the midnight pickup of my Switch 2 since Best Buy isn’t shipping it until tomorrow. That said, I am so glad that it’s fully confirmed. If you didn’t get your preorder and will be fighting the crowds IRL, I wish you the best of luck.

Got my schedule updated from 10-7 to 9-6 and I gotta say, this extra hour in the evening is glorious. Feels like I have an extra hour in my day even though I'm working the same amount.

Just to clarify, I’m not telling people not to get hyped or anything like that. I truly like the series and am looking forward to 4 eventually. I’m just expressing that I cannot go into hype mode yet personally.
