mandatory lesbian posted:the biology lectures on whales (and the chapters dedicated to explaining whaling in general) are really cool tho Just to be sure, you know a lot is total bullshit according to modern biology right? Like, you're learning what people thought was true at the time, not what we now believe to be true.

It's a time capsule of what people in the 1800's thought of these creatures. Also due to its design, tons of very short chapters, it's actually rather easy to decide to tackle a chapter per night, even when the writing can feel sort of dense. Everyone should read Moby Dick.

Moby Dick is 5% a story about the futility of revenge, 30% fun biology facts like "whales are fish because they can swim" and 65% an oblivious "straight" man telling you about his extremely gay romantic experience It's the greatest book ever written

Another evening playing Conduct Together. Really fun puzzle game if you see it on sale. Static screen with train gates and different color stations, you have to use buttons mapped to the switchboards to route trains around the maps without crashing into each other or local traffic and deliver X number of passengers to the matching colors. It quickly escalates into mind-bending, I'm nearing the last world and it requires a lot of concentration and trial and error, but when it finally works you feel like that bit in docter strange where he reads a million copies of the book at once. As the name suggests you can do local multi to share the brainload but I haven't tried that. (random review for screenshots) https://www.vooks.net/conduct-together-switch-eshop-review/ I was initially turned off by the mobile-ish look to it, but it's really polished and I think it's exclusive to nintendo. Recommend if you like me need a picross alternative to S1-5.

I got conduct together when it was on sale for $0.01 and I don't think anybody's gotten something that good for a penny since, like, the Victorian era

I'm not sure how monster hunter works, is it something I could jump into after the content update (this summer?)? I'm into games with weird and complex systems (loving adore Path of Exile) but not sure if it'll be cool to jump in with everyone else being crazy good at the game. Are there like, seasonal resets or anything? Just not sure I have the time at the moment.

External Organs posted:I'm not sure how monster hunter works, is it something I could jump into after the content update (this summer?)? I think it'll be fine to join any time. MP is pretty chill. Hell even the MP hunts scale to 1 player if you find the MP is unwelcoming for whatever reason. There are no resets. It's a very fun game filled with complexity ranging from drop chances to gathering items to the combat. Each of the 14 weapons has its own systems at play. Loads of skills to consider and find ways to use. It's a real fun playground of complicated systems.

You don’t need to worry about other people being better than you or having better gear. It won’t affect your gameplay at all

It was fun but short. What was that Mii game where you put a bunch of them in a house and watch it like a sitcom? For a while I was obsessed with that. Had a mash-up of Trailer Park Boys/Seinfeld/WWE/Friends that was just as terrible as it sounds.

drat I wish at least one of those games interested me. I've been waiting for SMT5 for so long that I don't even know if I care anymore! Jk I'll still love it when it's out but I suspect it's going to be another couple of years or hell maybe it'll never be on switch, they'll just bump it up to the next console or whatever
