I can think of one recent favorite off the top of my head. Look Outside. Especially after the major update with more content. Put that on Switch with a proper physical and I'd buy it on release.

There's definitely something about physical artwork like this. I've definitely made sure to purchase some unique paintings to hang up at home, even haunter art done by a guy at a craft fair, oil on canvas. Not prints, the original paintings. It's really cool to have.

I ordered Rainbow. I also look forward to getting back to the few DS and 3DS games I've been meaning to but in higher res and on a more capable device.

I was tempted to get this on the Switch 2 for the larger screen (at 16:9) and 1080p, but the battery life was pretty bad and the 3D resolution scaling looked about the same as the Steam Deck (720p while UI and portraits were 1080p). I'm glad to see more confirmation from you guys.

It's been rough being without pets of any kind after so many years.

He just suddenly got some kind of cold but wouldn't get better and just ate/drank less and less. The doctor basically was running out of time to find out what was wrong and why he wasn't responding to medications, so we had to eventually just put him down.

It's been almost 3 weeks and it's still a little hard. I had to put down my 3rd and final cat (they were with my wife and I most of our adult lives).

Thank you. I feel like she doesn't get enough fan art.

Maybe once digital hits half off. Game Key Cards are an immediate skip.

Matthew @thecoldone.bsky.social · 09/11/2025

I basically do as many as I feel in each area and come back later after unlocking more abilities since some are easier that way. But so am also not a completionist and didn't get 100% of the bananas.

I happened to watch two lesser-than-good Rachel Zegler films today; Snow White and Y2K. I think I enjoyed Y2K better.

Matthew @thecoldone.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

Interesting. I already got the Fuga trilogy physical edition (with the little metal cast tank) in its Japanese format since it includes the French and English content as well. I wonder if this physical trilogy will differ.

DBZ is the gold standard for good filler episodes.

This has me very pleased. I beat it back in August and re-played from a late save to get a few of the endings and I am really excited to start a fresh save in the near future.

Matthew @thecoldone.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

Bought it on sale forever ago (last year?) and it's still installed in my Steam Deck to be played eventually. I will get to it though. Kind of glad I didn't play before updates went out.

Matthew @thecoldone.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

I also worry about max power drain when handheld.

Matthew @thecoldone.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

All of these are cool and all, but I still haven't been able to bring myself away from the ergonomic superiority of the Steam Deck. Which is the main reason my brain is locked into waiting for the next Steam Deck upgrade. But this chipset has been interesting to me for the Mini PCs using it.

Oh, that makes sense if it is just the Switch 1 version. I still keep forgetting to check details like that and keep assuming new games automatically have both versions.

000

Matthew @thecoldone.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

I'm a little disappointed that it's not in 16:10 though. At least the demo isn't. I was surprised that the Switch 2 version looks terrible compared to the Steam Deck (blurry visuals). So I'll end up getting it for Deck.

Matthew @thecoldone.bsky.social · 18/09/2025

I'm a little ways into the demo and I am so pleased with how it runs/looks. I think this will be a step up from Cyber Sleuth.

Matthew @thecoldone.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

I feel like you have to expect this after any smaller team releases a good game.

000

Matthew @thecoldone.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

I hope this works out. The original show aged really well and I also liked the "Late Night Talk Show" style reboot as well that didn't get a fair chance. The latest iteration as a web series was just OK though.

Matthew @thecoldone.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

It's like someone moderately educated is attempting to sound like him. Rambling-ish, but too structured and too boring with details to be real.

I haven't been unemployed since something like 2011. How do people deal with this? (I was just notified my employment will end 5PM Friday)

They removed the cracker AND the barrel from the logo.

Matthew @thecoldone.bsky.social · 10/08/2025

One thing I was disappointed by was the lack of characterization for the backup demon boys. So few lines from them throughout. Still a great movie though and interesting that it is giving you that new audience exposure specifically.

Matthew @thecoldone.bsky.social · 07/08/2025

It's so weird how reliable it is that (largely) irrelevant actors turn hard right for easy attention. And you'll notice that the guys who were always crazy (Rob Schneider) don't even go this hard.

Matthew @thecoldone.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

Is this just referring to dating apps that match you up or are there actual "online" dates? I met my wife in a community forum and we eventually started hanging out in-person. So it was a bit more organic than a dating app, at least. I'd feel too judged in modern dating apps.

Matthew @thecoldone.bsky.social · 25/07/2025

Oh, I didn't realize that was so recent. And THAT, I assume, is what the latest firmware is looking for. Them not detailing reasons in the release notes is shifty. Also makes me kind of glad I didn't get it physical (I normally get first-party games physical).

000

Matthew @thecoldone.bsky.social · 25/07/2025

So was there something like a 1.0.3 patch when connected online to download for Mario Wonder?

100

Matthew @thecoldone.bsky.social · 25/07/2025

Were you able to confirm that there's a patch available for this new firmware to make the game playable again with the cartridge? I noticed there's no update for the US digital version right now, at least.

100

Matthew @thecoldone.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

I don't think I've ever lived anywhere before that actually made me think these were my upstairs neighbors, until my current place. Minus the screaming and stuff. But the confusing and loud physical noises are real.

Even Cyberpunk is surprising, with the DLC zone being the only area that really has problems on the Switch 2.

000

Matthew @thecoldone.bsky.social · 23/06/2025

I'm surprised by how some games seem like they might perform better on Switch 2 when it has a Switch 2 version. Like with Star Wars Outlaws. I'm really curious how that will look/perform on Switch 2 since I didn't think it was good enough in Deck for a purchase (but I want to play it handheld).

It'll still be good, but animal companions can never be beaten.

Matthew @thecoldone.bsky.social · 12/06/2025

What was your highest? The milestones are great when you hit them, but there are weird humps along the way that seems to require additional effort. I think 253/254 was my highest recorded and now I can't quite get to 200.

Matthew @thecoldone.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

Might buy to support you, but I won't play until the full game is out. My memory isn't good enough to play chapters this far apart.

Matthew @thecoldone.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

I am so glad they finally released physical copies for the whole trilogy, even if it was only in Japan. They still have the English language options in there, so I'm good.

I hate that I couldn't find a new/better home for the girls before they passed, but at least Gobi is doing well. He even has a good morning sun spot that we'll have to keep in mind as our new furniture gets placed.

I love when voicemail transcriptions are a mess. Mine isn't translated from another language, but it's from my mom and was worth saving.

A voicemail transcription reading:

"Hi Matthew, it's your mom and you'll answer. I want a pressure cooker. This message but I do what I need to take hostages in 18 minutes. Well house. Ross Gamber everything and so you won't like, Okay thanks bye."

I didn't realize there were other YARS games until I beat this one and looked into it. No idea why I never heard of these before. Though I'm not sure if I want to play many of them.

That's my wife's biggest peeve with the visuals in the game. "Hair doesn't move like that!"

I even mentioned my monitor habits to my optometrist and she liked that and said it has a similar effect to wearing the glasses.

Matthew @thecoldone.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

They don't NOT work. I have a coworker who swears by them, but I just have my brightness and contrast turned down on all my monitors (to about 60% each) and don't get eye strain or headaches.

And I am sure he is a proponent of personal freedoms and choice, while also skipping the states or counties vote on the issue and enforcing it nationwide.

I don't think that happened to me. I only noticed I felt less physically tired on a daily basis after I started in 2020.
