Happenstance

Finally some good news for me. I've been permanent in my job for 2 days a week for the past 3 years then the other 3 days have always been rolling temporary. They were going to do this again from this month to October but got so much red tape to go through (having to advertise the temp job they'd be giving me) that my bosses just said forget it then and just finally extend my permanent job to the full 5 days. Best part is that the temp job was 2 grades lower so the council basically screwed themselves out of saving a bit of money on me and I get my full salary still going forward.

I guess I'd have to go back and have a look. I thought I saw them pan across different controller options from pro controller 2, to joycons 2 in their holder to the old pro controller.

Hmmmm

I assume as we seemed to see original pro controllers being used during the Direct that things like the 8bitdo controllers should still work with the Switch 2 as well?

The NHS appointment system really is a mess. I've got multiple appointments coming up to treat my eye, some I've had letters for, some nothing. Only reason I knew about them was because I've got the NHS app. Emailed the booking team to confirm the ones with no letters are real and they are, but now one of the others that did have a letter has been rescheduled yet the app still says the original date. Ridiculous!

No I didn't bother with Amazon after getting the Smyths preorder in, sorry

I think it makes more sense when you play the story.

Part 1 (Remake) and part 2 (Rebirth) are already out. Part 3 is being worked on now.

Oof, those express micro SD cards aren't cheap are they

Amazon have updated their page with the price and ability to request invite https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Switch-2/dp/B0F2T4JFVG/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1N7U805W0ZZCI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.jCY1YrBZjhsF-HDMvKJxyNxc7i0_lUN3OlrpwUvWaJ7ijl3uarR8FinAIUzw51y7UkWgKmAcYl5RY2yGpwCUnguqPocwZQSxn7LzHLokIR7nRW9GFManiZiuUvoCZNnsNHa8-H4wYVYcDehq_g7VinWtDHIgbNmH02R84Kz1UQCS_w01SfbboMHfP3yZKjXSEj-VyTzG8F06pmdEUW-cyMDN1yV7WO33Sopr3wYPWR8.8a-x6Et3NaupW_1ywIRzCU0tuc93mOo6XXwks7nwKWo&dib_tag=se&keywords=Switch+2&qid=1743614347&sprefix=switch+2%2Caps%2C106&sr=8-2

Both out of stock now at Smyths

I ended up getting a Smyths preorder in just in case I change my mind. I can always cancel.

Yeah with Sony I can justify paying their digital prices for new stuff as I buy the discounted top-up cards so it brings it down to a price I can at least stomach.

So it looks like I'll be waiting a few years if I get one. Was kinda of hoping that this direct would convince me as I've gotten back into handheld gaming recently but there was just nothing for me in that.
