I'd love a 60 fps Switch 2 upgrade myself, but they didn't make it 30 fps on Switch 1 just for the sake of it. It was an intentional, necessary sacrifice for the far more advanced visuals. The lighting, reflections, high res textures and post effects don't come cheap, especially on Switch 1!

- This Week's Schedule (September 14 - September 20, 2026) - The nights I get back from class will be the nights I won't have much energy left, so I guess I'll make those game dev nights since I don't usually talk much during those anyway. #vtuber

- This Week's Schedule (September 7 - September 13, 2026) - I have an unusual amount of free time this week, so I took the liberty of getting most of the Kingdom Hearts 2 ability grinding necessary for postgame content out of the way. Birth By Sleep will just have to wait its turn... #vtuber

- This Week's Schedule - I got a 4 day pass to AnimeNYC so it's going to be a short livestreaming week. Wonder what I'll see and get from there? Also: starting NEXT week (week of 8/24), university classes start again and I expect I'll be busy with those. #vtuber

- This Week's Schedule - I'm finally checking out that MMO with the long copypasta about how critically acclaimed it is! I'll be doing the free trial on the new Switch 2 release. Otherwise it's business as usual. Hoping to roll credits in Killzone and Splatoon, and "get started" with Halo. #vtuber

- This Week's Schedule - I'll be away the first half of this week, but after that it's the return of Halo, including multiplayer on Halo 3 Sunrise (on the Xbox 360)! But as an opening act, I'll be branching out into another series of acclaimed Sci-Fi shooters, Killzone. #vtuber

Splatoon Raiders arrived on time after all! I've deleted the post about not playing it tomorrow (July 24, 2026). It is indeed what I will be playing. Not sure why I got a message about the shipment being delayed, though... probably just a snafu.

-- This Week's Schedule -- Bit of a shorter week this time. I'm leaving for a trip next week, so there won't be anything scheduled then! I kinda want to jump on a certain Miku-related art trend, so Friday might be the first non-game dev related drawingstream in a looong while... #vtuber

Not too long ago at all, as a matter of fact! I'm a mix of physical and digital, but Nintendo's the only platform that doesn't (usually) force me to install the games anyway, so I'm more inclined to buy physical for Switch and Switch 2.

BlueAizu 青 @blueaizu.blue · 29/06/2026

-- This Week's Schedule -- A rare PLANNED Sunday livestream?! Yes, this Saturday is a holiday, so I'm shooting for the day after when I know for sure I'll have time. I was pleasantly surprised how well received my impromptu Hatsune Miku gameplay was, so I'll happily do more Vocaloid games! #vtuber

Dude, Square-Enix has made tons of beautiful games with outstanding art direction over the years. Their cover art is no different. I look up to their art team. That they chose to use GenAI this time is a huge shock, and I'm VERY disappointed.

BlueAizu 青 @blueaizu.blue · 22/06/2026

They truly could have just reused the cover art from "The All in One Package" and it would have been completely fine. It's a beautiful piece of art drawn by the same talented human who came up with Kingdom Hearts in the first place, representing the EXACT same content of this new collection.

Most game engine code is written as lines of text, but Unreal's Blueprints are a more visual alternative which use nodes to do the same things. It makes coding less intimidating for a lot of people to wrap their heads around, even being a reason teams would choose Unreal for their games.
