Mario Party palming should only be used to gain victory over friends and enemies and therefore has no use in a single player game. Didn't you read the factory safety warning?

I think I have some weird baseline input lag with the Switch on my TV... I'm wondering if this is a common problem, and maybe any additional input lag issues with certain games/emulation are compounding and making it godawful?

Is the joycon signal disrupted? I had my switch dock behind my TV and input issues stopped when I moved it to the open space.

Nah. I traded my original moddable Switch for the extended battery version before I knew its value. Nintendo keeps getting me with these incremental upgrades.

True the first party landscape is kind of zzz. That Kirby game looks bad rear end tbh but it's been so long since botw, it's really hard to feel hyped for a sequel to a five year old game that will likely reuse the engine and tons of assets unless they get really creative with it

Ports and indies meanwhile stay winning

I and several others find is quite easy to be hyped

Impressions I've seen of Rune Factory 5 is that it doesn't do much of anything new and imports gameplay from 4 quite heavily. And from gameplay videos I've seen, environments look pretty lovely. Maybe this is the Rune Factory Sword/Shield before Arceus...

One thing I realized in my last run of CC is how beautifully cinematic battles are. The camera angles, the different animations for characters between "idle" and their attacks or waiting for you to put in another melee attack, etc.. I used a character named Steena who I've never used before and she has basically no depth but drat if it isn't coo to just watch her in battle.

I think you're using the words beautifully and cinematic pretty loosely here.

My copy of Super Mario 3D All-Stars, which I bought on the 31st in commemoration of the first anniversary of Mario's death, arrived today. Time to play some 3D Marios. I'll be sure to record how much I suck and post angrily about how bad the game (irrespective of what game is actually being discussed) is in here.

It's pretty anime but not like egregiously so. Like it's a farming simulator and also a JRPG and is about as anime as that sounds.

One thing I dig that's missing from that pitch is that the RPG elements also apply to the farming bit. Most of them have a pretty tightly controlled economy, you can grow these crops at this time, and if you unlock some skills or choose the right fertilizer, you can increase the sale value of your crops a bit or make them grow 20% faster and get one more harvest.

I found a bag of pumpkin seeds early on and planted them on a plot, and they're one of those crops that regrow and can be harvested every few days. What I didn't know was that this happens because I kept fertilizing my fields, and harvesting crops also levels up your soil. Eventually the pumpkins started growing larger and larger and I got a quest telling me they'd fuse into a giant pumpkin if I let them be, but for some reason that never happened. I kept buying various fertilizers and dumping them on my pumpkins and the UI told me they did indeed stack, but no super pumpkins. When I finally realized what was happening was that the fairies I had tending my fields would harvest and ship any viable crops in the afternoon, and told them to take a break, I had a little plot of super soil ten levels above the rest of my field that would quintuple the growth rate of any crops, while yielding a bigger and higher quality harvest than its neighbors and turn anything planted there into a giant if left alone for a couple days.

the other jrpg parts i can take or leave but that bit i like

You see, I want to love this aspect of Rune Factory, but just like with 4, when I'm playing RF5 I am stoned and chillaxing to the max and I am not responsible enough to care for crops to this degree. I can barely remember to stay up till 10 to trigger a heart event. RF5 owns.

There are no bad frame rates on god’s console, only non believers

People don't understand this console and it grinds my gears. Have you ever looked at the propeller of a plane as it begins to turn? You only notice the blades moving until they are going so fast that your eyes literally cannot perceive the movement any longer. It looks like there is no movement at all. If you think you're experiencing "frame drops" or "terrible performance," maybe how about you go and get your eyes checked, or better yet, admit that you're just a slow human with (lol) Xbox eyes?

Additional graphics options in Bayonetta and all games should be celebrated imo, as should attempts at innovation and competition in mobile gaming. The last couple pages come across as anti-consumer for the sake of defensive horniness and Nintendo fandom.
