Mom knows I like Nintendo

Comes up to me with some Pokémon and Donkey Kong pajamas

She looks so excited just to give me something

Don’t have the heart to tell her I’m not ten anymore

My mom did this exact same thing with me once with Nintendo themed bed sheets.


The most awkward thing about being a Pokemon fan is not actually being a big Pikachu fan but you gotta live with the Pikachu merchandise.

I finally picked Sword and Shield back up. I also evolved Raboot into Cinderace. ...I think I have a new favorite 'Mon here, folks.

I went to see if they made any Cinderace plushies and-

Dangit. No marketable Cinderace plushie for me.
Mr. Rime is being sold for $20 on Pokémon Center but it hasn't been restocked for months so I knew your pain.

I had to resort to spending $38 for one off Amazon.

For what? It don’t do notin
As someone who plays in handheld a lot, it's a pretty clear improvement:

- OLED screens are hecka nice.

- Speaker quality improved.

- Better kickstand.

- My current Switch is a day one launch model, meaning I don't have the improved battery newer ones have

- Built in LAN adapter is nice, don't gotta use a 3rd party anymore. My 3rd party one gets super hot whenever it's plugged in, kinda makes me nervous sometimes.

If you treat your Switch as a docked only machine? There isn't any reason to upgrade. However, if you're a portable enthusiast like me, this is definitely a nice upgrade, especially if you're still on the day one model.

I have beaten the first boss of Omori!

It was pretty fun, aside from me misremembering the EMOTION triangle at the start.....
(ANGRY is weak to HAPPY, not SAD.)

You know, for a "physiological horror" game, there haven’t been any scary moments recently. I wonder when-


Oh.........

There it is.

TBH IDK why some people are surprised by the new model.

It's literally the same thing Nintendo's been doing since the beginning with their handhelds: None of their revisions upped the hardware in any significant way, you only get the new model if you're an enthusiast or don't already have one, and that is entirely what they're made for.

This thing is basically to the Switch what the DS Light was to the DS: Some decent perks and QoL changes.

I think the Switch line is here to stay, but Next Gen? Not yet.
Oh they're totally keeping the Switch name: It's what they wanted to do with the Wii with the Wii U but it's actually stuck this time and has a gimmick that will keep selling systems due to the specific niche literally no one is challenging them in.

As for when we get our true "Next gen" model? I'm with what my brother speculated when we talked about it: Probably 2023 or so, and they'll either start numbering the Switches or go back to adding random words like the GB era.

So... uh.... I just done goofed up

I closed the ride I was working on an hour and a half before the park closed because of a miscommunication between my manager and maintenance 😅

I have returned to the waking(?) world.....

And I hear knocking.

Hm..... Last time I answered the door, I got jumpscared.....

Should I answer it again, or ignore it?

......

Ya know what? I'm no coward. I think I will answer it.

.......In the next play session. I'm tired.

Or screw it up with the Switch U.
