OK, so I guess the whole 'raising prices of the Switch 1 & accessories in Canada due to market conditions' thing was never going to be exclusive to just us.

Those crappy little Switch 1 Joycons being $120 in Canada now is still wild to me. They weren't even worth $90!

Oh, pfffft. Always! Christine and I are actually thinking about possibly moving somewhere near water once we’re ready to sell this house. Love lounging by the beach! πŸ–οΈ

Working from home has been so awesome, and I’ll be the first one to admit that I’m EXTREMELY lucky to be in my situation. Thankful too, of course.

However, because I have to work from a remote server, if my internet goes out for any reason I’m essentially useless. Like, for example, right now! πŸ˜’

100% πŸ˜‚ I will say the Zebra is my least-used transformation though, so I barely hear the song anymore.

Any scenic wallpapers with mountains in the background look really nice in iOS 26.

The Zebra song is so friggin' good.

The amount of cringe-worthy puns in DK: Bananza is unhinged. I love it.

I’m with you, Jan. It’s really incredible.

I love when someone from the city comes and paints random lines in my backyard. πŸ˜• I get it’s probably related to power cables or something but like… really?

Man, I have a lot of thoughts on Donkey Kong Bananza (positive). What an absolutely delightful game.

It is soooo friggin’ nice to finally play Nintendo games on my TV again without them looking like an ugly, low-res mess.

20.07.2025 15:44 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Yep... when I saw the total for DK today I had to do a double take. Prices are insane in Canada right now.

I made this change 2 minutes into the game. πŸ˜‚ Jumping with A felt so off to me. Glad they offered the option to swap them, it's not always a guarantee with Nintendo!

I can’t wait for the Switch 3 so I can play Donkey Kong Bananza at 60 FPS! Heyoooooooo

(I’m only kidding, the game is really fun so far)

I'm really excited to play this!

Over the last week or so I’ve been playing Sqeakross: Home Squeak Home or reading Play Nice by @jasonschreier.bsky.social before bed every night.

Both of them rule.

Yep... those growth charts just need to go up and up and up, no matter what the cost.

Saw this coming from a mile away. I love Nintendo games (and probably always will) but I hate the company as a business. So many anti-consumer decisions lately.

The Veilguard gets a lot of hate online and sure it’s not perfect, but I thought it was a great game.

I did end up getting 900/1000 achievement points and the last 100 are obtainable, but I'm not sure I feel like going back and completing every challenge. I missed too many.

Finished up Doom: The Dark Ages yesterday and I really enjoyed it. Very fun. I much preferred its pace over Doom Eternal which was a little too micromanage-y. It fixes a bunch of smaller issues with the series too, like calling out points of no return (hated missing collectibles in previous games).

Oh rad. This seems like a potentially awesome feature.

You could say that the new Mario Kart is... out of this world. 😎 Here's my review.

I hope Raccoon Logic gets to make more Savage Planet games because they're really fun! Here's my review for Revenge of the Savage Planet.

Slowly making my way through Doom: The Dark Ages and man, I’m surprised this game is only an 85 on OpenCritic. Hell of a game (pun intended). Probably my #2 behind only Clair Obscur this year so far. Also my favourite of the modern Doom trilogy.

Played through Shovel Knight to knock off my first Backlog Beats game of 2025. Good game! I also tried the Plague of Shadows expansions and… no thanks. Did not enjoy that.

Everwild and Perfect Dark being cancelled is a shame. I was excited about both games. We desperately need a new Rare game.
