Speaking of battery life, I found out yesterday that my Pixel 6a phone may have a defective battery. It's been working just fine, but Google is sending out a mandatory system update tomorrow. If mine has a defective battery, my phone's battery life will be signifcantly reduced until I can get the battery replaced for free.

I may ditch the phone and go back to Motorola; I never had any issues with their phones.

I just learned my new battery has trickle charging.

I googled it but I'm still confused. Why would you trickle charge headphones and smartwatch s as the manual says?

Played this P switch mission in Mario Kart World.


You had to dodge whales in the ocean. Could have been epic.


When the last whale crashed down it impacted the ocean surface, sending out huge waves with physics.


Felt like Wave Race.


I feel like we need a new wave race based on MKW ocean bits.

New Wave Race game for Switch 2? Yes please!

Lots of people leave their electronics on a charger overnight. Most lithium batteries fully charge in a couple hours; leaving it on the charger for longer will reduce the battery life. Trickle charging allows you to keep it on a charger all night without it fully charging until morning.

Eh.  It wouldn't be the same anyway.  Have you played WaveRace recently?  I played some WR: Blue Storm a few months back and while still great, it's brutal.  If they'd make a new one, the challenge would be severely dumbed down.

Still, I absolutley loved the GameCube version.  It's a very unique experience.

Few things, Switch 2 joycon HD Rumble 2 is real.

I was driving next to rampaging Bison in MKW and I could feel the patter of their feet.

And just now I was next to a generator in Cyberpunk and it felt like you were resting your hands on it as it rumbled and chugged along.

And in battery news the new powerbanks I got have failed as I feared to charge switch 2 while playing it.

So only the 5000 mah one works as intended. Crazy that big brands like Anker and Ravpower won't work.

I've been looking at the box of the one that works and it's fast charging and has a PD 20W type C output.

I think this is the difference.

It might be the actual cables so I'll test those. The powerbanks still charge when switch 2 is in sleep or powered off.

Thanks I may use it for that.
