It's cardio where you're sitting in a seat. I'm not going for 200bpm. Just steady state cardio, not intervals or anything too nuts. Lifting I'd do separate obviously, this is just to get me through the boring monotony.

I hate doing cardio so if I can have anything to make it better I'll try it.

Just do sone fuckin for your cardio

I'm not familiar enough with the series to play it in Japanese and doing it with a translation guide is a hassle.

I am actively annoyed that Spelunky 2 is a (probably timed) console exclusive for PS4. I played so much Spelunky on Vita. Bring the first one to Switch for the time being!

If you told me Nintendo would take the indie crown from Sony three years ago I would have thought you were crazy. But Sony seems to have dropped indie support like a rock after a while. Spelunky 2 on PS4 now seems downright weird.

Sony doesnt need it anymore they hit critical mass and dont need to pay any but the biggest indie projects like spelunky for exclusive time.

In a few years when the switch store is awash in more games than anyone can play in 10 lifetimes indie devs will be talking about how nintendo used to be cool.

Yeah, it really does seem that the Switch is likely to kill off the Vita's niche as the indie game console.

Definitely just do what I'm doing with PSN games now, which is to put all the games I want in a wishlist instead of buying it outright. You'll save a bunch over time, and it's goin to take you forever to get around to playing them all anyway.

Anybody take their switch to a gym? I want to try mine on a stationary bike. Seems like an hour playing stardew valley would pass in an instant.

We've got (exactly) one of those bikes at work and I do like to putz around on it while playing Switch on my lunch breaks sometimes.

Though you gotta be careful what kind of game you bring. If it's too engrossing or consequential, you'll find your feet aren't moving. If it's some super chill or muscle-memory experience, it's all gravy.

Yeah, it's the exact same thing PS4 did when it launched. You use indie games to bolster your lineup when your system comes out, that's when Sony had multiple E3 conferences with huge indie time so you saw crazy poo poo like Octodad getting main stage presence and once things got rolling it all got relegated to pre-show. Nintendo will probably still do NINDIES directs though.

If you can game while exercising either your exercise is too easy so you can focus on the game or the game you're playing sucks cause it's not interesting enough to focus on. Stick with catching up on your TV shows (Hulu on Switch!) unless you have a busted leg and can only pedal the equivalent of 5mph or something.

I think you'll find that your exercise is too easy if you can focus on a TV show.

Pretty much, guys. Even on non interval, if your physical discomfort (not pain!) Is at a level where you can focus on tv/other stuff, do yourself a favor and ramp it up a bit.

Not gym-shaming, any work out is better than none but you already dragged yourself there. Why not make the most of your time in achieving long term results? Fitness comes from challenging yourself at a pace that is appropriate to your current physical state, and you are not challenging yourself enough if you're having leisurely workouts

As much as I love it, cardio burns calories much much slower than you'd think, hence why you need to go hard at it :/

Anyways that's my two cents in this fitnezz derail

That's bullshit, the fittest I ever got was from 45 minutes of light walking 5 times a week. Did far more than training and running 5-10k ever did. Just do something you can do consistently that won't give you any repeated stress injuries.

nice job, I got 19/20, I totally thought I'd miss a million. Died almost 100 times tho

Def gonna go over these levels in details later, I have no idea where the last one or the Big Collectable might have been. There was even a thing in the first chapter that was really clearly tied to a secret that I had no idea how to interact with.

Celeste is v. cool

e: god it totally rules that they give you a general idea of where all the collectables are
