Staying up way too late replaying BOTW. It’s so stunning in 4K with HDR, and just buttery smooth.

Switch 2 looks and feels extremely nice. OS and shop are super snappy, lots of neat little UI and sound touches everywhere.
F-Zero GX runs silky smooth, Mario Kart World looks fantastic. Excited to play with it more tonight!

OK, this is exciting as hell. My favorite game adapted by one of my favorite writer-directors and produced by one of my favorite studios.

Still haven’t really started to connect with the story yet (7-ish hours in?), but Clair Obscur is indeed very fun.

I spent well over a month talking to investors to get the actual data behind what’s happening to the games industry. I was going to say “enjoy!” but it’s, uh, not great.

Normally I am against the idea of sniper drones and authoritarian police surveillance states.
But in the case of movie theaters and noisy audience members…

Never played Oblivion and (crappy outdoor world performance aside) I'm loving the remastered version. This game has so much personality.

Just about done with my MHWilds SnS build. Gear and decos are all done, and got a decent roll on my (disgustingly ugly) artian weapon. All that's left really is armor sphere farming and maybe making more artian weapons for different elements.
Absolutely LOVE SnS in Wilds, been a blast to play.

Switch 2 looks awesome, I'm kinda shocked (and pleasantly surprised) that Nintendo actually went with a 120hz display.
I hope they give performance patches to their whole Switch 1 lineup. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 in particular would benefit a lot from a framerate cap bump and 4K.

Game dev from scratch is the slow process of discovering I'm accidentally remaking Unity (but worse (but better~))

Having a lot of fun with MH Wilds in high rank. Really was not a fan of the excessively on-rails story campaign, but once it opens up it’s a blast.
The seikret still regularly drives me nuts though.

The auto-navigation in MHWilds seems like a weird choice to me. Basically just turns traveling into a really long load screen and removes the need to explore and learn the map.

Not a fan of how DLSS is increasingly becoming a crutch to reach playable framerates. The ghosty artifacting effect is really distracting in some implementations too.
