Glad to see them fix this. I reported the issue with flower fields to them (and one other Ch 8 track they haven't fixed the looping yet).

I had over 300 hours on the Internet channel and I love that there's people out there just like me. The Internet Channel is just how I used the internet back then.

He's so out of touch he doesn't know his own address. To offload your driving to your chauffeur, is no different to him than offloading your intelligence to an AI "One day I had to pump gas" <-- well I've had to pump gas for years now and you always need your zip code. He isn't in tune with reality

Nintendo Direct opener. Just what are these mysterious shapes for?

In my dream I found a used copy of the game "Wii Fit Plus Rabbids". Not sure what that would be but I'm interested ...

Probably the most fun thing you can do in Splatoon Raiders is to play multiplayer with randoms (keyword "splatoon") and grind through the postgame in a group. It's incredibly hectic and fun, and gets you tons of useful loot.

oh no ): , I didn't know about the gap either. I remember I stitched together a video once of me fighting the new ttyd pit superboss and didn't have any trouble though. All the music is online if you know where to look

I still think about the playtest a lot. I listen to the OST all the time, and recently I was trying to compress my recordings so I could store it somewhere. I kind of want to document every bit of all the footage sometime.

Although in just 2 months it will be 2 years since the original "announcement". That's a pretty long development time. I've always thought it was going to launch officially this fall (when they often do NSO stuff). I'm not sure anymore because of how packed their schedule is getting.

jacob1 @jacob614.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
How much longer do we have to wait ): But also I had a mini crisis reading this. Has it really been 2 years? I think it was last year. In my notes I only wrote down the date, not the year lol.

I actually used speed tank the least! I was on tactical then switched to power. I have all my gadgets set to activate automatically on hit, I love the splatellites and couldn't live without them.

Cheating in the new DK Bananza Challenge by destroying 60% of the building before "starting" the challenge. Anyway, I wish it could take you directly to where it starts instead of having to search the whole map, besides that they are tougher than I expected.

A new beta has been released, 100.0! This version is an important-looking milestone, but is a pretty standard release reflecting everything we've changed since last February. This release adds BASE, SEED, stamp search, air sim customization, and more. Download and read a longer changelog at tpt.io
Screenshot of the new beta. SEED has been spread onto a SAND base and grown into several large trees. Some of the trees have pink or lime colored leaves. On one end, there is a CLNE cloning some BASE, which sparkles as it descends and eats various elements, similar to ACID.

Oh actually the final few levels were so easy I thought there would be more. Didn't realize I was fighting the final boss. Still took me longer than 4 hours for sure though lol, I spent at least 1-2 hours on one early level.

You could shuffle a playlist like that and be set for years, I love an "everything" VGM playlist.

This makes so much sense, lumping together games that had similar visions or the same creator in mind. This is basically how I think of the timeline as well, I'd rather not lump every single game into one continuity.

After seeing everything 13 Sentinels has, every twist and turn, this has easily become one of my Top 10 Games of all time. I don't know exactly where it would place, but it's there. And that's a big deal in itself because it takes a lot for new games to reach that Top 10. You all HAVE to play this.

Lame update. I do want the games to have full, complete soundtracks. But why add the 3.0 tracks and leave out the DLC? Weird choice.

jacob1 @jacob614.bsky.social · 11/03/2026
I paid more than this for Splatoon and Xenoblade DLC and it was never an issue. I'd definitely do it again if the DLC interests me.

I had the same problem. It doesn't compare to "real" VR where I can be in that mode for hours. My eyes started to hurt after a while so I quit. Still fun though, I'm just glad I could experience this weird part of Nintendo history.

This is my dream update. I don't know anyone that has multiple switch 2s, but with 2p online now I can finally get everyone together without having to be in person. Already played a bunch today :)

Lots and lots of Splatoon. And Xenoblade. Shoutouts to the invisible game between Smash Ultimate and Zelda BotW.

My sister got me this beautiful Japan-shaped collage of photos from our trip. And it's great .. but I just found out it's so blurry because she printed a 2000 x 1414 .png in a 36" x 24" frame. That's like 55 dpi 😢. Anyway now we have new versions for the whole family in high res coming :)

Nyquil gives me the most uncomfortable dreams. It's like I'm drifting in and out of consciousness, aware of how long it's taking but unable to influence or even understand the context of my dreams. I can't even say they are "bad" dreams because they make so little sense.

Option 4 is the only thing I need.

Eliminate one? Practically all Thanksgiving food deserves to be deleted. 1. Too dry 2. Too plain 3. Too bland 4. Only thing on my plate 5. I don't even know what's in this 6. I've actually never liked pies 7. Gross and off-putting 8. Too chewy 9. This sauce is the best you can do?

114 for me. I was generous in some cases counting what I played. I don't know if I can understand the criticism when it's obvious you play a lot more games than me. You aren't beating Jon, but he plays too many games lol.

I normally combine BotW/TotK but decided to list them both so I wouldn't have to choose. I'm confident in my top 6 (and generally their orders) but after that I just picked 4 of my all time favorites. I was also thinking of adding mario sunshine, metroid prime, paper mario, and majora's mask.

I think the bug affects Wii U / 3ds dates as well, but I don't have proof. I have a few games showing 12/24, but they should be Christmas Day. I also remember my dad taking me to a random Walmart on the way back from up north (a Sunday) to get new leaf. But it shows I started it on Saturday instead.

jacob1 @jacob614.bsky.social · 06/11/2025
Being able to see playtimes all the way back to 3ds is super cool. But even Nintendo has bugs with dates sometimes. The date on EVERY Play Activity is early by one day, start / last date is fine. Probably a time zone bug that only affects the Americas.
Playtime for Mario Kart World, showing I first played it on June 5th. In the daily activity log it shows June 4th instead even though the Switch 2 wasn't out yet. This date is wrong.

For anyone who plans to play Luigi's Mansion when it comes to NSO next week, here's a helpful player's guide I wrote on a paper plate 24 years ago. It's better than any Prima guide you'll find.
Luigi's Mansion guide on a paper plate. Features sloppy handwritten notes and scribbled out sections, but covers the locations of all blue ghosts, cheese pieces, and gemstones I knew about, and also lists money values.
