I assume you said "hyuck" when he asked.

I too am "REALLY FOR SOON" I wonder how much of Sony and Microsoft's pricing is factoring in the inevitable reductions that Nintendo don't do?

I might check out a play through on YouTube (if I remember) but curious what the narrative is like. Given the series was built on that have they tried to make it narrative based, or is it a nostalgia thing like you alluded to?

I guess if they just randomly release an announcement video with no pomp it will probably end up in here and I may spin it out, but I'm going to assume they will announce they will announce something and that will end up as it's own thread.

By the way as an admin note what I'm thinking going forward is when a direct is announced there will inevitably be a thread about that. From experience those then usually die off after a few days and I'm guessing pre-launch chat will move back here. Then a few days before the release I think I'll create a new thread to start from scratch so we can have a thread about the actual console, rather than having to wade through at least 10 pages before getting to any conversation about the actual console. If anyone strongly disagrees let me know.

Finally, the Switch Pro!

Month? They've said they'll announce before the end of March so it could be longer than that.

Mario Paint Switch confirmed!

I'm now curious if the term "toast" (when some information briefly pops up) existed then or if this is just a giant coincidence.

They should add a battery-powered light clip on for the Switch to create that GB/GBA feel.

I know you and @Glen-i are related but I didn't realise you were twins

Do you know where I can find some sailors?

I at best half succeeded at the goals from last year. My travel plans have been pushed back for a year and my contract extended for a year. Finally opening a gym this month though ... What was I saying? Oh yes. Spent a long time this year trying to find a space but finally found one and in the process of setting it all up. It won't be profitable straight away, but hopefully long term this will be some kind of financial security which I was hoping for last year. Language I failed at, really did not do much this year. I underestimated how time consuming work would be. In terms of 2025 I'm not too sure. Planning to do a review next week of gym stuff and then set gym-specific goals for the year but everything else... Just see what the year brings?

I didn't know (or had forgotten) you're down the road.

I'll respond properly but turns out the forum gets confused when the year changes. Rather than saying the latest post in a forum is X hours/days ago it says "Dec 31". Weird quirk. Anyway, it's 2025 where I am so happy new year and all that!

Suddenly I want to be a footballer if it means you only have to do one thing a week. It sounds blissful.

I stopped watching that show after a few years so had no idea she popped up in that. So she played a sister to Sofía Vergara, a cousin to Justina Machado (and Melissa Fumero) and had Gina Rodriguez as a romantic interest. I think she might be the Kevin Bacon of 2010/2020s Latina actors.

Why the hell is Alan Maddrell injuring so many pigs?

And 8 months of that was working on Waluigi.

I decided to get away from the family of it it all went I'm currently sat in a bar looking at Lake Como. My plan for tomorrow is to go for a walk around the lake and then the traditional Christmas dinner of...pasta (can't be bothered to cook much more than that). Did the family thing on Sunday which was fine but better than Christmas because I could come and go in the day (I don't drive and no local public transport 25/26th).

Better get to these quickly.

You mean you haven't heard?

For some people it has been, for others it's been appearing and disappearing and for some others it will randomly play very slowly.

If it helps, nobody believed you anyway.

Never played it but that is what I would do too. With the N64 controller rest it on your lap, hold it on the left side for support and then use two fingers on your right hand to mash the buttons. And I guess hold the controller upside down if you're left-handed.
