I low-key kinda miss streaming…

I’d need to get a new capture card though as mine is literally too old to do anything! 😂

I wish Nintendo would let us stream from the console itself like Playstation and Xbox. Especially since the Switch 2 supports microphones and webcams already.

Completed Yooka-Replaylee!! 🏆

Top 3 games of the year for me! I just had such a good time with it!

I love that most things were still in the same place for fans of the original but with a lot more content and many quality of life improvements!

Congrats to everyone at @playtonicgames.com!

Adding a chorus effect to a melodica makes it straight up sound like an accordion! 🪗

Also I don’t exactly know why melodica/accordion always works perfectly in spooky arrangements but it just always freaking does.

“Second Coming Situation is Crazy”

Yep… The Rainbow Road theme from Mario Kart World is the best piece of music that I heard in a long time and it’s not even close.

An absolute masterpiece in my opinion.

I didn’t have time to start Super Mario Galaxy 2 last night but I know tonight’s gonna be a good one! 😄

Here’s a little piano rendition of Comet Observatory from the first game to celebrate!

I started playing the game too literally just a couple days ago!

I've been tired of AAA for a very long time but this game has been amazing so far!!

Same!! I was really starting to lose hope. I still think we should be able to select a mode where only lap-type tracks can appear online but hey… I’m still very happy with this update!

I think Sonic Racing: Crossworld might have pressured Nintendo to fix Mario Kart 😂

Gab 🎶 @gabocarina96.bsky.social · 20d

Huge update!!! I just tried it for a bit and 3-lap tracks do seem to appear more often again when playing online! Less straight lines, more actual tracks! 🥹

Also, being able to see the P-switches and medalions that we collected on the free roam map was a way overdue feature.

I love this game!!

Well... in french we say "ben(g)-yeah" (not "yay") but english people do pronounce it "yay" for some reason. 😂

Example of what I’m talking about.

It’s not super hard… It just makes the brain work out a little compared to the more romantic or modern stuff I prefer playing.

That being said, I think it’s important to practice things that take us out of the comfort zone. It pays off in the end.

For as much as I dislike/have a hard time playing Baroque (mostly Bach) on piano… It’s freaking rewarding down the line!!!

With most piano pieces, it feels like both hands are working TOGETHER but then there’s Baroque music… Where hands just seem to battle/challenge each other instead.
