I guess I'm cancelling my Game Pass Ultimate subscription. I don't have the time to justify $30/month. My backlog is too big as-is. I'll probably focus on finishing Avowed and drop it. I don't play only games, so there's really no point in even the basic level.

😂😂 The Virtual Boy accessory. I'm sorry. It's required to play these games???

I'm late to the game but I decided to cultivate a sourdough starter and get into baking sourdough. However, after a week, the starter is not thriving and my self conference has never been lower.

Finished Clair Obscur Expedition 33 this evening.

The Xbox Showcase was really good. They showed a lot of games that I am excited to play. The handheld.. TBD. I just got a Switch 2 so I don't feel a strong need for that.

Got my Switch 2 today!

*goes back to playing Expedition 33*

Woke up this morning and was able to order a Switch 2 from Costco (Mario Kart + a year of NSO for $225). It says it arrives tomorrow. My original pre-order still hasn't shipped so maybe I'll get lucky with this one.

I may not have a Switch 2 until next week, but I'm enjoying all the posts of people who are waiting in line or are excited about getting theirs tonight.

Made it to the end of Act 2 in Exhibition 33. That's all I will say for the time being. Looking forward to exploring the world more in Act 3.

I've started going to the movies by myself (I recommend it). This afternoon I saw Clown in a Cornfield which was pretty fun, and I think it's worth seeing.

I've eaten like crap for the past few days. Minneapolis has this abomination called the Juicy Lucy burger. I've had two during this trip. I also found good cinnamon rolls. I had those for breakfast a majority of my mornings.

Attempted CO:E33 on Xbox Cloud Streaming on the hotel's wifi. I could tell it's a game I'm going to enjoy, but it's not a game that can be streamed in this setting.

I'm in Minneapolis for a few days. It's weird not being surrounded by mountains. It also makes me wish Portland had a more iconic art scene.

My credit card companies this morning: "What the fuck were you trying to do at midnight last night?"
April 24, 2025 at 12:28 PM
As midnight hits, we now wait to see how much of a cluster this will all be... #Switch2Preorder
April 24, 2025 at 4:12 AM
As someone who has never rolled credits on Skyrim, Fallout 4, or Starfield, I am excited about the possibility of adding Oblivion to that list.

Reached Room 46 in Blue Prince (how are you spending your Saturday night?)! Really enjoyed the game. I know there's still so much more to do and see. Not sure if I can fight the randomness needed to solve all the puzzles. Is it worth it?
April 20, 2025 at 4:20 AM
I had to stop at an important (hard to get to) spot on Blue Prince to go to work. When I came back, the game needed an update and I lost all the progress for the day. 😭

Started South of Midnight tonight. Needed a break from Avowed. So far I am enjoying the vibe of SoM but not really feeling the combat.
April 9, 2025 at 3:39 AM
A little shocked there was no talk of Xenoblade Chronicles X getting Switch 2 enhancements. That game in 4k, HDR, and 60fps? That would be great.
April 2, 2025 at 10:09 PM
Had to drop out of the Switch 2 direct due to work. Looked neat so far!
April 2, 2025 at 1:55 PM
I'll be at work tomorrow during the Switch 2 presentation. So I just sneak in an earbud and do audio only or do I wait twelve hours to watch it properly? 🤔
April 1, 2025 at 10:16 PM
I'm apparently ready to enter the second area in Avowed but there's still so much of the map in the first area that I haven't uncovered.
March 31, 2025 at 3:56 AM
Finished Thank Goodness You're Here on Switch. I enjoyed it a lot. Very absurdist humor (i.e. British). So if that's your cup of tea...
