I'm now using Win11 on both my desktop and my laptop. The ability to force dark mode system wide across all apps has saved the upgrade process for me.

late VGM Friday contribution, in lieu of Triangle Strategy getting a US release date ... Also, Arlo almost dying had me going for multiple rewatches.

I've considered asking to go for my birthday, which is around that time. Problem is that New Orleans for me is 8+ hrs by car, and would be a three-day trip by default. Plus I'd probably have another major panic attack in the French Quarter, knowing my luck.

Highlights of the Ninty showcase (for me): Triangle Strategy getting an official release date KOTOR on Switch! Chocobo Racing remake (day juaning the fuck out of this shit) Act-fucking-raiser got a remake. Yes, I will buy it for the god-tier music. Splatoon 3 gameplay Bayo 3 ... I caught the very end of the presentation, but it looks so damn good.

I'll agree with this. It also fully depends on who the store managers/ASMs are too in regards to experiences.

more than likely it's licensing fees for Sega in regards to Mega Drive/Genesis games. Also, top fucking kek that Nintendo went with the suck-ass 3 button Genesis pad vs the vastly superior 6-button Genesis pad. Looks like 8BitDo will be getting some more of my money very soon for those M30s.

in other news, water is fucking wet. 😂🤣 in other secondary news, my wife and I decided to get my grandson a Switch Lite for Christmas this year; so I'm repeating the steps from a couple of years ago when I bought my Switch; getting the screen protector, microSD card, all of that before hand. The console itself should be here on Thursday and will largely stay in the shipping box until it's time to giftwrap it; then it'll be opened to update the firmware, and get updates for his games (planning on getting Mario Kart and Minecraft for him on physical carts). The only thing I haven't decided on yet is to whether or not to give him a NSO subscription.

Not entirely true. The iPhone 13 series still charges via Lightning, as the other end of the charging cable terminates to a USB-C connection.

So, let's talk about this for a minute: https://9to5mac.com/2021/09/10/epic-vs-apple-ruling-revealed-apple-must-allow-app-store-devs-to-redirect-users-to-other-payment-systems/ the TL;DR of the ruling is this: Apple (and the App Store) found not to be a monopoly by the ruling judge. Epic was required to turn over 30% of the revenue they acquired from Fortnite's "new" payment method before Apple dropkicked them off the App Store (top fucking kek right here). Also of note, is this tweet: Time will tell if Tim Cook will step on Epic Games like a fucking bug and crush their shit.

It should not take three weeks and 50+ calls and voicemails left to have a referral completed to see a different psychiatrist.

I ended up preordering Lumina on Playstation, and will probably stick there for at least a month since I just updated my arcade stick to work with PS5.

I'm strongly considering asking for tickets to AEW Dynamite live in New Orleans next year as a birthday gift after seeing a lot of the clips from the last PPV. Also, fuck Ticketmaster for thinking I'm a goddamned bot for wanting to look up prices for the event.

Next week. https://www.apple.com/apple-events/

I guess I'm giving Chad game suggestions then, since I also own a PS5.

Million's not entirely wrong with the post he made. Minus the opinion he has regarding children and marriage, he's pretty much spot on. Also, the person who dropped a 100k/yr job just for a chance to work for one of the Paul brothers needs to be bitchslapped, repeatedly and with as much force as possible.

Great Nintendo, now bring something else back that people care about. Like F-Zero or Earthbound. Or even take the money you're printing, and remaster and translate the entire Mother series. Get this outta here

Picked up the Deluxe Edition of KOFXV on PS5 to the tune of about $95 ... now I just need to wait, and hope that SNK doesn't fuck this up.

He does like to play lag fighter online Smash and has tried playing Breath of the Wild on his recent visit here (He's here through the end of the day tomorrow). Other than that, he's played stuff like Among Us.

Wife and I have decided to get our grandson a Switch Lite as a Christmas present this year. He's 7, so I'm trying to think of appropriate games that aren't like Pokemon, Among Us, or Minecraft. He is getting the double pack for Diamond/Pearl though as a gift from me.

Couple of good spots I found while in Mobile. The hotel the wife and I stayed in while we were headed to Florida was in the Historic district of town, and was pretty good. For breakfast, Mo' Bay Beignet Co on Dauphin St is the real deal, but to avoid waiting upwards of an hour; you'd need to go early.

Also of note, Bravely Default II is coming to Steam like really soon. I've thought about buying it to add to the endless list of games I have collection, but I wonder if I could get it cheaper than the $53.99 Steam is advertising the game for.

Play the Left Behind DLC if you haven't already. It ties up a lot of loose ends with Ellie regarding the first game. Plus it's only 2-3 hours long. VGM Friday contributions (Quake inspired this week):

Ended up returning the Eero yesterday, and I ended up buying a RT-AX82U from Best Buy. The final straw was getting kicked off of my work stuff yesterday, and missing an hour; in addition to my boss being upset; and my wife's boss being upset.
