Joe from Game Sack, a show on Youtube about retro video games. Exciting? Hmmm.

RE: New 2D Castlevania. Looks fine I guess but I'm not as blown away as some people seem to be for whatever reason. I'll probably get it just to cover it eventually if nothing else.

Dave isn't impressed, though:

I keep getting target ads for this abomination (1st pic). No that's not a game controller, it's for video editors. My mouse can already scroll horizontally and I'm much faster with that and the keyboard. I do use a Stream Deck (2nd pic) though.

Well *I* am not in the Epstein Files, so that's good (see attached proof). But some others are.

What can I do?
I’m so old now.
Who can help me find, the Alpha Ozone for me?

I will!
I’ll find the Alpher Ozone!

The ANALogue 3D has been updated to firmware 1.2.0 which attempts to take care of games that use interlacing. A good first step! Overall I like this firmware update quite a bit.

DotEmu sent in this big fake book for Ys Origin. Inside is a large black marble and a bottle of mysterious fluid meant to be consumed. So what's the fluid? POISON! I drank some, and died. Some of you might remember watching me die as I drank it on-camera. Still dead.

Just learned that "criminitly" is an actual word. All my life I thought it was "crime in Italy".

If Golden Globes has a Best Podcast category now, where's the Best Youtube Channel category (or Best Online Video Channel to avoid the branding)? Not saying I'd win, but come on... I'd be at least in the top 4,000 or so.

So I'm setting things up, hooking up the Switch 2 dock as I get things ready not paying a ton of attention to any one thing and find myself trying to put the Wii U Game Pad into the Switch 2 dock because... who knows.

So are The Game Awards™ the official videogame awards thingy now... like the Academy Awards are for movies? It feels wrong to give awards for a year that hasn't finished yet but hey maybe that's just me.

I'm maybe a couple of hours into Metroid Prime 4. 120fps is nice. 5.1 audio is mostly nice (main gun has too much sub). Boss fights still too long. You can invert the camera, but that doesn't follow over to the lock on or the psycho beam that you remote-control. Why not? Will try with "mouse" later!

Mouse compatibility with Switch 2 is abysmal. I have several mice, wired and wireless (with dongle), new and old. None work with Metroid Prime 4. The Joycon 2 works but that's just not comfortable but I can't turn off acceleration. Spent so much time troubleshooting now I'm not in the mood to play.

Bought my 3rd Switch 2 game... which isn't even exclusive to Switch 2. Anyway I look forward to testing out the mouse controls in this new mission on Planet Vulva.

Now comes the process of putting all of these magazines away! I took them down to scan individual pages or video them for the doc. At least now I have an excuse to reorganize the shelves. Somehow some issues I KNOW I used to have are nowhere in sight!
