Also was messing around with HDR.

Discovered it does actually have an effect on the Switch 2 console screen itself. DF said the HDR was poor but I think part of that is that some games have bad HDR and relatively few do it well.

Prime 4 does seem to have an effect, I took screen comparisons to see if it was a placebo effect.

With console screen hdr the colour tones were richer and the darker areas looked darker. It wasn't a huge effect only like a 15% difference.

The Playstation car starts at a measly $90k.  Would be much cheaper to just buy a reasonably priced car and 10 or so ps6 portables and still save a few 10k's.

Seriously though, the rise in car prices over the last decade would even make Nvidea blush.

You will immediately notice the visual upgrade in RDR. The game looks pretty sharp and at 60 fps.

Anything cool in there about StarTropics?


StarTropics gets a five-star review for its rating, and has a Multi-Page write-up. I'm not sure if it was the longest in the book for a single game, but it's definitely one of the longest. However, it's all about the end game and the game's ending. No insights into the development or any bits of trivia. One of the things about this book that I both enjoy and can frustrate me is that it's not a cookie cutter formula for each game. It's not like, here's the summary blurb, here's a review about the ending, and here's the fun facts. It all varies and some games get longer write-ups than you'd expect, while others get a little bit shorted.

Oh that reminds me, you know what very noted. Game has a very terrible ending? Final Fantasy. I kind of forgotten about it, but the end is really just a bunch of blocks of text trying to explain the time loop story and then "the end."

I finally broke the seal on my copy of DK Bananza this morning. Happy I've been holding off until now, so I could put some real time into it and I'm starting to wind down on MK World a bit.

Did you try mouse mode? It's supposedly very good.

Gyro is better.

Though how to calibrate it is strange.

DK: I pick up rock. I throw rock towards a specific target. I miss target 80% of the time. Hrm

The gyro doesn't work properly in portable mode. But I'm guessing you're playing docked.

Docked and Switch 1 Pro controller. No gyro. DK's camera messes with me somewhat. I think I'm lined up well, but it'll throw to the left or right of target. I just need to practice it more, throwing seems to be a major part of the gameplay that I didn't expect.

I caught the flu on Wednesday, and it's been kicking my ass ever since. Couldn't focus enough to play anything, but once I was able to stay awake for more than an hour at a time I opted to make this a movie weekend. So I watched Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, The Accountant and The Accountant 2.

That sucks. Get well soon.

Seems like it’s going to be a nasty flu season this time.
