I have apparently bent a rib last week. I dropped a large wooden plank on my chest and while it hurt, it wasn't much. I was a bit sore the next few days but nothing serious. Now, though, it hurts every time I breathe, and sneezing is terribly hurtful! It's apparently normal for the pain to grow steadily worse over 7-10 days. I can't exercise properly because heavy breathing is painful. Hopefully the recovery will be swift.

Got the Lego Mighty Bowser today from my wife and kids! Really happy about that, looking forward to assembling it. Might even let my oldest son help me out, he loves Lego and can spend hours assembling stuff. Using the iPad builder app, he can even do it alone now (he's 5).

Disney continues its live-action adaptions and have just released the first trailer for The Little Mermaid, coming in May: Yeah, something's just off for me. Maybe Sebastian's too real looking? Ursula is very true to the cartoon version, though.

Yeah, the sounds played at the end of the trailer always reminded me of Twilight Princess, glad I'm no the only one.

Sounds interesting. Certainly seems novel but won't have the time to play the game straight ahead after the release.

The final season of You has been fully released now. It think this fourth season is probably the best yet, it has been really entertaining. Only two episodes left, I'm excited to see how they wrap it up.

https://twitter.com/LEGO_Group/status/1633120394302324737 Lego will be announcing something today. It'll be interesting to see what it turns out to be Live now, they showed a Dry Bones Bowser Castle expansion for Lego Super Mario, available August 1st. Also a Donkey Kong add-on!

Played the demo yesterday, really enjoyed it. And luckily, a store just put it on sale for as cheap as about £20 (directly converted) so ordered it, going to pick it up tomorrow. I'll be playing Figment 2 this weekend for review purposes but after that, I think I'll dive into this. Looking forward to it.

A (true) demo has been released, and the game just got a new trailer:

A demo has gone live, lets you play the Prologue and most of the first planet: Also English version of the above trailer:

The release date was always April 5th here in Denmark due to Easter holidays on Thursday and Friday (movies usually premier on Thursdays here). You don't have days off due to Easter in UK?

When you first start the game, it kind of aggressively wants you to start an online subscription and it makes it seem that if you don't, you won't be able to play the game at all - selecting cancel then just tells you that you can't see friends' high-scores etc. and starts the game. That wasn't so user-friendly. Other than that, it's a good game. Nothing great but it's fun to play for an hour or two, and do that three or four times and you are finished... I'm about halfway through with about 3 hours on the clock. Haven't touched the multiplayer-games yet, though.

Seems like Bandai Namco acknowledges the bad state of the game: https://www.abyssalchronicles.com/news/bandai-namco-addresses-issues-about-tales-of-symphonia-remastereds-nintendo-switch-edition

I got the game yesterday and am about halfway through world 2. It's actually quite fun and fast. Not hard but is a bit more difficult than I expected at first. My son tried it this morning. He had the Magalor helping system on which prevents you from falling down and doubles your health. With that, he was able to complete some levels completely on his own. He's 5. He found it really fun.
