Proximity chat...? So you can chat online but only if you are in the same room?

I told my wife that I don't like the look of it and won't buy it. But that was probably a lie, if I find it at a nice price, I'll get it instantly. But please stop making new sets I need to buy, I haven't got room for them anymore. I wonder if it'll be able to actually drive if it comes off that stand. My sons would probably like it race it around.

Looks fine, the new battle mechanics look interesting and are sure to spice things up. However, I'm not keen on the city being the only place to explore, as it can't possibly be as varied as Sinnoh was in Arceus. We also didn't get any hints as to what the story is in the game in the trailers.

Hopefully we'll see something from Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Other than that, surprise me!

So... You've been fired but you are required to work another month? How motivating. I wouldn't want to do any work in that case.

I'm currently playing this, about 13 hours in and just met with Resh'na. I really enjoy my time with the game, I think they nailed the gameplay with not too many battles but enough to satisfy, and some nice Zelda-ish puzzles along the way. The world and setting is great, and the story is interesting enough to keep me going. The game feels linear much of the time but it's not confining. I could have done with some sort of reminder as to what my current objective is but seeing as there isn't many side quests in the game, it works out.

Daredevil looks really good. Like the tone of it.

I wonder if it'll be possible to use existing Pro Controllers for Switch 2. That would be really nice!

Since it's supposedly backwards compatible, I don't see much need for a new Mario Kart right away.

Oh, cool. I've only seen the back of the dock then.

So... it's curious that none of the leaks mention a name at all, isn't it? Will it be called Switch 2 and thereby avoid any confusion, or will they go with a totally wonky name?

It seems, to me, like a rather awkward grip if that is going to function as a mouse. But I can totally see that would benefit a lot of games, even though it would limit the ability to press buttons. Also, one could just use the built in gyro for mouse-ish control. Like in the Magic Remote for LG tvs.

New Spider-Man cartoon to air on January 29th: Looks interesting, I really like the style.

Yeah, the trailer lacked some climax but overall, it left me curious enough, and the music was quite fitting. Yeah, might be worth going to the cinema for!

Yeah, the current Switch is big enough, just get rid of the bezels around the screen and perhaps give way to some slightly bigger JoyCons or grips.

Yeah, I would have waited had I known there would be a part 3 before starting. And I would have waited had I initially known there would be a part 2 and 3.

Didn't realise Cobra Kai season 6 was a three parter. That disappoints me very much. So I am up to date with the last season and I have enjoyed it, but especially so once I started seeing the show as a live action anime. Everything makes more sense as an anime. Especially how they ended part 2, that was so much over the top that it was enjoyable.

Oooh. Found The Great Deku Tree for the equivalent of £180 as a Black Friday offer. That's really tempting...

Still looks very solid. And lol at the ending of the trailer!

I really have no idea why they make this.

Got this today. Weight is 66 kg, body fat percentage is 10.2. That's quite acceptable. Two years ago I weighed about 68 kg but can't remember my bfp at that time. I don't think it was lower at least but might have been more or less the same.

Well, it's certainly something else than the heavy sets and the burn is rather nasty once I hit the 8-10 reps. I've read somewhere, sometime, that it is a good way to build stamina - to deload to about 80 % of the working sets and then do 12 reps.

So my leave is now officially over and I won't have the time or energy to exercise that much anymore. I got to 90 kg in back squat for 2*5 reps - then went down to 4*5 reps at 85 kg. After that I would do 12-15 reps at 70 kg which was awful, followed by some split squats to really feel the burn. I feel quite a lot stronger and a lot more tight in general and it sucks that I probably can't maintain this level of strength in the future.

Had my first day at work after a little more than 5 months off due to paternity leave. And whaddya know - they weren't ready for my return. My boss has known since August that I would return at about this time, and I told everybody at a department event on November 1st that I would return this week, and there is absolutely zero tasks waiting for me. I did some e-learning on GDPR to kill some time, talked to people and had lunch today, was there for 5 hours before getting home to pick up the children from day care and school. But tomorrow I'll be back at work at 9 am and don't know what to do. I was told I had to help make some changes to how our APIs work so that we can release new versions of those outside of "normal" (big) releases but our IT architect is not ready to talk about how we do that. So I'll have to take small tasks from here and there to spend the time. I find that a bit disappointing.

Awesome to get a confirmation about this. It makes it less of a consideration to upgrade to the new one.
