We are it all raw, yeah. It was great. The last season was a bit weaker, though. Old sensei dude was a bit too much, though.

Haha. Reading and skipping as always. I play games on low audio anyways when I play them in handheld because I can then talk to my wife while playing. Yeah, broken play time clock bothers me more than it should....

That makes sense, though the beginning is a bit slow. Although, the entire game is just a bit slow overall. Movement is slow, loading is slow, though combat is quite fast. It's not bad just 10 % too slow for me. However, I do enjoy it. The voice acting is good, the battles are fine (could do with a bit more variety with enemies, usually a dungeon holds three unique enemies or so, but each with three different time versions (past, present, future). I'm about 10 hours in (I think, the ingame playtime clock doesn't work - it continues while in sleep mode).

I thought it was supposed to be a Switch timed exclusive? But yeah, it's definitely one of those games to keep an eye on.

It's a new camera but I also asked the store I got it from so we'll see how they respond tomorrow.

Without and with flash, respectively. It's a well-lit room, though. I don't understand the need for polaroid, and I don't get why my wife wanted it. But if this is the quality to be expected, I think we should go for a refund and upgrade to the OneStep+-model, which is supposedly better than this.

Long shot but someone might know. I got a Polaroid Now for my wife's birthday a couple of weeks ago. I also got some blank films (for i-Type but they are compatible as far as I could understand). They were produced in September 2020. However, when taking photos, they are really out of focus (cute baby alert XD ): At least they look old-school but I was expecting a tad better quality. Are we bad photographers, is Polaroid Now a terrible camera (I read reviews and they said that it was quite decent), or are the films expired? Disclaimer: I know that polaroids aren't that good and all, I don't understand why my wife wanted one but I at least expected the quality to be better than this!

Ugh. Haven't got enough tasks to work on while my colleagues are on vacation - mine is starting next week. So time goes by slowly and I feel bad for not doing much work but I've raised my voice several times and asked for more tasks. Still nothing. At least I'm working from home with both kids and my wife home as well so can do some other stuff while waiting for my task manager to return to me. Also taking some shorter days. Next week I'll work half-time so only 6-9.30 and take the rest of the day off. That's going to be almost like a vacation!

I didn't play the demo but if it just covers the beginning of the game, it probably doesn't introduce some of the cooler mechanics and characters. The time travel mechanic is rather cool, actually, and figuring out which of past, present, or future makes the enemy weakest is rather fun. Then there are some new status effects (I've never seen soaked and rusted in a game before) and I'm sure I'll see some cool things later on as well. But otherwise, you might be right. I think if it released four years ago, it would be novel but now, it really just is another JRPG with time travel. Development started in 2014, if I recall correctly - it's hard for a game to be under development for so long.

Started playing Cris Tales yesterday. Didn't realise this was an RPG with random encounters - and a minimum of 10 seconds loading time before and after each of them, which makes exploration kind of tedious. And the loading screens are completely white, hurting my eyes when playing in a dark room. Still early into the game, like two hours but enjoying it except the loading parts and a few strange design decisions - like you can time jump in towns by pressing X and then moving to either side (past or future) and confirming with A - why not just press L or R? They aren't used (yet).

Sorry, double post

The amiibo has been hit by some unforeseen shipping delays, apparently:

Got the first shot of the vaccine yesterday. I am a bit sore in the shoulder but otherwise felt nothing. Getting the second shot in mid-August.
