I was playing some Splatoon and then my friend said they were on their way over so I just popped my switch out and waited by the front door so I wouldn't be rude and not hear them and was able to keep playing Salmon Run and get lots and lots of fish nice and dead. The switch is the best console for people who actually have a life sometimes.

I really want to check out golf story when I feel like I've cleared out my backlog a little bit. Sports is back on and it's distracting.

I beaten it. It's very good, it mixes the metroid and mining mechanics much better than the first game, and even though it's only twice the length of the first game it feels expansive and explores the game's mechanics quite well.

The game also just feels very nice to play. And It's well suited for the Switch.

Im glad I kept my 3DS around long enough to play remake metroid game I haven't played since 1987 or whatever so it's practically new to me.

Now I just need to finish it cause there ARE TOO MANY GAMES ON THE SWITCH
There are too many games on the 3DS, because Mario & Luigi, Layton's Mystery Journey and Culdcept Revolt are all released today.

It boils down to 'if I fill this square will it eventually create a shape that doesn't fit the numbers?' It's basically guessing, except you're explicitly looking for wrong guesses so you can safety discount them. This makes it infinitely more useful than real guessing.
It's not guessing, it's no different to the other logic techniques which you use to solve the puzzles.

The Wii U is a great console but as one example its low sales meant Monster Hunter 4U didn't get a console port and now the series is going to every console except Nintendo which still stings.

Wow, thanks for posting that (and Al Borlan for asking about it). I just used the corner trick in Picross on the Switch. I accidentally filled in a wrong block (filled in 4 when it should have been 3), so I couldn't find any moves that worked and nothing was highlighted in blue (ya, I should see about turning that off since it is a hint). So I did the corner trick and was able to keep going until I realized my mistake. It beat erasing everything and starting over.

I've usually play picross on my phone, but I also have Mario Picross on GB and 3D Picross on the DS. Are there any preferred Picross games on the 3DS? I don't mind 3D picross, but kinda just prefer normal picross. Especially ones that allow you to just hold down the 'x' marker and drag over spaces you already filled in without writing over them. I am liking the UI in the Switch Picross game.
If you want picross that plays exactly like Picross S on 3DS then you should look into the eshop exclusive Picross E series. Also pick up a cheap cart of Picross DS.

Pokemon Picross also exists and is free but it has a certain level of microtransaction bullshit and a heavy focus on using special abilities to reveal large portions of puzzles.

It's available in the general store almost immediately (it's like on the counter, not in the store menu), but it's kinda expensive for early in the game. I'm being kinda lazy and explore-y, so I'll probably get it in summer sometime? Your mileage may vary.

You don't have to use any of the Pokemon abilities though, you can just play the puzzles normally. If you want to complete challenges for more of the in-game currency, then yeah you do. I always just played them normally, then re-did them to do the challenges.
