Played a bit of Donkey Kong Bananza last night and the game looks and plays very well. The destructibility aspect is pretty impressive as well.

Mine should arrive tomorrow.

Honestly after using an external clip on battery I think this is the way future handhelds should work.

You use your handheld battery, then clip on the small one to recharge which adds weight to the console.

But when it's done you take it off and the console is back to a lighter weight.

If they put in a larger, heavier battery your handheld will be permanently too heavy.

Thanks guys for the well wishes!

Jasmine is home now. She's has 5 precription meds and precription dog food. She's weak as a kitten but finally ate all of her breakfast at the hospital; I hand fed her there.

This is great to hear.

so the last Game under criticizes E33, oh we need a debate.

New Superman movie was really good, love the hopeful style, but the plot has issues. The characters were good but scenes were just not given enough moment to breathe.

So DK is a blast. It starts off slow, first two hours I was thinking this will get old really fast but then it just keeps opening up and that collecting itch kicks in and it's just fun to destroy everything to find stuff. Plenty of Rare like 3D platformer missions amoung the crazy amount of stuff to find. The controls are great, DK has a fun moveset which makes moving around a blast and allows for high level play. Still too easy, hopefully changes.

So what you are saying is it's basically just Donkey Kong Barrel Blast? Nyaa

I'm guessing the difficulty level stays too easy.

If you look up Pam Ayers' work, you'll see how a poet ended up on TV. Very broad poetry. Here is what AI produced when I asked it to write a poem about you in the style of Pam Ayers (nailed it):

I’m gonna tell you 'bout Tom Towers,


A chap who spends his waking hours,


Not gardening or baking pies,


But gaming, with discerning eyes.

He’s got a podcast, quite renowned,


Where pixel talk and lore abound.


He’ll chat for hours, deep and wide,


On frame rates, shaders, anti-aliasing pride.

He’s not impressed by sloppy scenes,


Or muddy rocks in gaming greens.


“Those textures look like mashed-up chalk!”


He’ll mutter in his Aussie talk.

And if you dare to name Clair Obscure,


He’ll scoff and say, “The end’s unsure!”


“It fizzles out, it lacks finesse,


A narrative unholy mess!”

But still he plays, with furrowed brow,


Inspecting cliffs and granite now.


“Look at that boulder! What a joke!


It’s polygonal, and poorly woke!”

So here’s to Tom, with specs and sass,


A gaming gent of highest class.


He’ll rate your rocks, your quests, your lore,


Then podcast on it — and ask for more!

Except that my famous rock texture analysis was of how good a rock texture was, rather than how bad.

Foolz review was good.


I don't think the game is as buggy on switch. Though the framerate would wobble. Really need to try it on switch 2.


I only played the Book of Unwritten tales 2.


It was very good but had a cliffhanger ending so didn't satisfy me as much as I thought it would. Still, it's so cheap I have no regrets from buying it.

Probably a review of book of unwritten tales 2 there, too.

I started a female character playthrough in Cyberpunk.

I haven't completed my male characters story yet. I've done every visible side quest and Cyberpunk psycho on the map and done all the tarot cards.

I wanted to try the other modes, nomad, corp, street kid.

I also wanted to take advantage of all the female clothing. Like in Animal Crossing.

I'm glad devs are making lots of different outfits like Mario Odyssey too.

If you like a variety of outfits then you will love DK Bananza. You have a choice between female outfits and simian.

[Eurogamer] Donkey Kong Bananza's monologuing villains have turned me: It's time Nintendo properly embraces fully voice acted characters

Agreed. Feels a bit lifeless reading text instead of good VO here.

Got ma multicoloured shorts.

Game is good. I felt the destruction would get old very quickly and it hasn't.

It doesn't feel that revolutionary as you're often tunneling to nowhere with no reward.

Also, crazy how Nintendo could make something so unexpected and novel with so much destruction. And yet even with 3 different punch buttons it feels so natural it feels perfectly normal and makes so much sense.

They just invented the next Steamworld Dig, the next Superhero game.

Also I love the climbing the most, nice to be so fast and powerful with no stamina bar holding you back.
