Yeah. But the sales I posted were from the fiscal year report in May and thus newer... And more complete, it seems, as Ring Fit Adventure is absent from the first list (worldwide).

How old are those sales data? I noted that in March 2023 the list was this:

Impressive numbers by Tears of the Kingdom... But at this point, I don't think Switch will outsell PS2. That's about two years left of sales at the same level as the previous year but if they put out Switch 2 in tur meantime, which is the sensible thing to do, it will most likely kill the sales of Switch 1.

I really hope they make Pro Controllers backward compatible this time. It is such a waste to just hide away perfectly fine controllers, and they have got quite expensive these years.

So for the first time ever, Rayman and Mario could meet up in the same game and they decide to bring Rabbid Mario instead? Shame.

Nearly done with Succession - halfway through season 4. I don't understand the praise. Sure, there's something about it, but it just doesn't get really good. Acting is good, but as no character is truly likeable (except Greg but he's changed a lot since season one which is the point, I guess) it's hard to find someone to root for. I also feel that all plot devices and turns just like turn into nothing after a while and that many points are just forgotten. I wouldn't be able to tell anyone what has actually happened during the show, just that the kids are spoiled brats that feel entitled and want to take over their dad's company. It's not bad as such, it'js just weird. I wouldn't rate it higher than 7/10, though.

I'm on vacation and needed to get some reading done. I happened to find a couple of comics at the library that I am currently reading. The first one was Moon Knight The Complete Collection by Jeff Lemire. I enjoyed his Green Arrow Year One stuff but I must say that I didn't enjoy Moon Knight that much. Sure, it was intriguing trying to figure out what was real and what wasn't but at the end of the day, there wasn't enough interesting stuff going on. Might give the TV series a watch now, though, as the character itself was a bit interesting. The other book I borrowed was Batman The Black Mirror. I'm not done yet but it is a very different Batman-story so far. Not much action but a great story. Can recommend it so far.

Just because he isn't in Smash Bros, I'm counting on a Waluigi variant.

Oh my goodness, that was unexpected. Played Enter the Gekko when it came out on N64, but I don't think I ever completed it.

Ah, yes. But they could be aiming for a September release. That still autumn at least.

Why?

Never played the original, so this was a welcome surprise! Looks like it's most just a 1-1 remaster but that's fine by me.

Looks fun but man, they were tripping when they came up with this! That might be good for the series, though.

Wow. This is one ugly game. I know, graphics don't matter but geez... Thought it was a remake of the 3DS version.

We started watching Succession recently, and have almost completed season 2. We were a bit apprehensive about it, it didn't really seem to be that good. I still think it doesn't deserve all that praise but it's good enough to keep watching it to the end, I think.

I still think they should have waited until January to release this. It was released in October which was super busy with a lot of (better) games. It might still have underperformed but at least it wouldn't be in direct competition with lots of games.

Summer Sale wave 1 has started Some decent discounts there. Just bought Lego City Undercover for my son. Wave 2 goes live in June 15th.

Almost expected it to be called New Sonic the Hedgehog when they revealed it. Looks good, though. I like the new style and it seems to add some new gameplay. Co-op could be fun as well.

Why no trailer? It's so weird to announce a game without a trailer.

Watched Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse yesterday. It was totally awesome. It had less superhero action than expected but had a way more heavy and interesting story than the first. Can really recommend it, even though it's very long. I need to re-watch the first, though, it's been a while.

Deadlift really hits the lower back when done correctly so it makes sense that you feel it there. If it really is DOMS, then you probably just overdid it - a rule of thumb is that if you have DOMS for more than 3 days, it was too much for your current state. Anyways, heat, massage, and light exercise without weights to loosen it up should help, along with some gentle stretching.

We are currently building a small gym out in my garage. It's going to be lovely - about 12 sq. meters. I'm currently looking for a good pull-up bar, a bench and a new barbell along with some more weights. I hope that having everything set up in the garage all the time will help me get back into regular lifting and exercising.
