Every time I remember that Samus Returns is not on the Switch, I die a little inside. Gimme that, and throw in Fusion and Zero Mission while you're at it.
I agree when it comes to Nintendo games. Breath of the Wild is one of my all time favorites, but I was actually a bit underwhelmed by Mario Odyssey. It was really fun and charming, it just never reached that same level that BotW did by being one of my favorites in franchise history. It is probably unfair of me to hold it to that high a standard. But, those are the only 2 Nintendo games for the system that I purchased and so I expect a high level of quality given a lack of quantity.
Having said all that, the Switch is still easily one of my all time favorite consoles because it is a portable indie game player. I find myself buying games I missed out on as well as games that I played to death simply because playing those games on the go is an absolute boon for me. A system that improves the prospects of any game simply by being on that system is an amazing thing indeed. I just want a new Metroid game. And some new IP. And older Nintendo games to be priced reasonably.
I like Business Dave in videos, but I don't think that necessarily means he needs to be in more. I felt the same way about Snider and Drew; the rarity made their appearances that much more special.
Celeste is making my thumb hurt for the first time since Super Meat Boy.
I just ran into the Pico-8 in the hotel and played it all the way through in one sitting, and I feel like a new man having come out on the other side of it.
Preface: I smoke weed and drink on the weekends, and enjoy video games a great deal in both of those states of mind.
No one does anything better while inebriated. You are quite literally fogging your mind. But, what a buzz will do for you is help you stop thinking about real life troubles and get you into that zen mode. That zen mode is the real game changer, and when you can get there while sober that is when you play best.
Hiking. It combines the endorphins from exercise with those from camping or being out in nature for extended periods. I try to go once a week; it’s the perfect way to reset and recenter. There’s something innately satisfying and primal about it, almost spiritual.
