Nintendo Switch:

Since I'm starting to lean into this whole journaling thing this year, I also decided to make a game journal to record my thoughts and progresses.
Dunno if it'll amount to something, but at least I'm putting that Splatoon 3 notebook I bought off from Nintendo to good use.
A quick reminder that this weekend has the last fresh Eggstra Work shift before Mr. Grizz switches to reruns for subsequent events, so plan accordingly. Or alternatively, don't.
The upcoming Steam Machine certainly scratches that itch for a small gaming PC experience. Probably isn't gonna hit 60 fps at 4K, but at least it's better than a gaming laptop. Now if the price is right...
The new Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Direct pretty much paints the sequel as more of the same but with added customization features and better interaction possibilities between miis.
Nintendo however already announced that they've "decided to place restrictions on certain image sharing features". What that even entails remains to be seen, but since they're set on selling a PEGI 3 rated game withb broad customization options...

Some interesting QoL improvements coming in the upcoming Splatoon 3 update this thursday.
Picking up Tears of the Kingdom again and according to my save I haven't played this since the end of July.
I'm not very goot at cutting down my backlog. Maybe I should start a backlog spreadsheet or something.
Finished Doom 3 on the Switch. Great sound design, mediocre combat. Never actually got to use the BFG because I waited and waited for the big boss and eventually didn't even get to use it then because it did jack squat for that boss. Also despite playing in medium difficulty I always had a stock of ammo and health – I remember hard mode being more challenging in those aspects.
As a final point: of all the Switch versions of Dooms, why isn't gyro aiming in this?
Nintendo Music missed their weekly content update today. That usually only happens during holidays or if they rescheduled it to some other weekday due to some special event like a release or direct. Make of that what you will.

Thinking of switching my boardgame group's voice chat from #Discord to #Mumble. On voice chat features it is on par with Discord, but the UI is not as streamlined. I feel it is pretty much down to what you're accustomed to and the level of crap you're willing to tolerate.
At least Mumble is less bloated.
New Tomodachi Life Direct coming this thursday at 15:00 CET!
The series is a fun little social simulator, interested to see what they've come up with this time around. And since it's already scheduled for spring...
Watching the local news and hearing journos describe The Game Awards as "the oscars of the gaming world". All the while DICE Awards have been doing it longer. Well, can't expect people to be knowledgeable.
Either way, the Oscars haven't been that relevant for me, and I don't see the point in aping them except for trying to fish some sort of public acceptability. Nothing wrong with that, but they seem to favour cinematic experiences, which aren't my jam.
Even Nintendo Music is into the year-in-review action. Cool beans.
So far I've been breaking some sweat 3 times a week in Ring Fit Adventure continuously since October, but now I'm taking a short break since my right arm is kinda sore and weak from all that. Other than that, I'm pleased with the overall results.
Well now, Board Game Arena servers went down completely, so friday night boardgaming had to be canceled. Don't remember things being this bad.
Hmm, despite building upon the success of BotW, somehow I can't help but feel a bit let down by Tears of the Kingdom. Currently doing the Zora kingdom quest and it really doesn't hold water to the previous installment. Where's for example the new version of the lyonel fight? That was a memorable event, not to mention the journey to the city you did before that. This all feels like a watered down version of it.

Oh cool, Splatoon Raiders update.
Looks like single player Salmon Run. I know at least one Splatoon player demographic who are excited.
