Seeing the musical instruments crushed is honestly really sad.
The messaging should be it augments creativity with these physical items not crushing them.
Some of the text editing features I had no idea about are wild.
The 3 finger tap to access the undo and redo menu is something I'll 100% be using.
Here's my updated next up games list:
Right now I'm leaning towards either Animal Well or Hallow Knight. I keep putting Hallow Knight off so maybe it's time to get it!
Last night I beat Mother Brain and completed Super Metroid.
It's a game I should have played years ago and sits alongside A Link to the Past as an amazing example of what the Super Nintendo was capable of.
It shows that games don't need good graphics to be timeless. This game will stand the test of time and will always be enjoyable to play.
The game progression system as you get upgrades and slowly get stronger is perfect. The way in which this opens more areas in the map is perfect.
The secret areas and hidden walls are frustrating but the satisfaction you feel when you get it done and get to the next part of the game is so good.
I've said this before but there's something about Metroidvania which I vibe with. The challenge, the general progression and the bosses; when this is done well it's such a treat for me.
The 2D pixel art in Super Metroid is beautiful. I love the usage of greens and purples. The environments are really strange but so pretty to play through.
The bosses are tough! It took me many many tries to get through Ridley, Kraid and Mother Brain. Even the Chozo Statue at the start of the game took a few tries.
What did make this much easier compared to playing the game on original hardware was save states. There would have been sections in this game I would have basically found impossible without saving at that exact point in time rather than at checkpoints.
For basically my entire golfing life I've struggled with hitting woods. It's potentially a struggle most golfers can relate to. This is what's currently working for me:
Switch 2 is coming.
We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year.
I feel like the reveal will be at a direct later this year. Maybe they'll let you pre order over Christmas and then release early next year?
Running macOS on this amazing piece of tech is what I and I feel like most people want.
The Battersea Power Station also looks beautiful with the Apple store in it.
I had a decent Stableford round on Sunday of 33
points.
It's my first 30+ round in a few weeks.
I think what helped me is just being free with my game.
I didn't worry too much about my grip. I played my shot shape the whole round which was a drawer with a natural stronger grip.
I just need to rotate my body properly and be natural with it. For me that's what works.
I've been enjoying watching the Minnesota Timberwolves playoff run on Kayo over the past few weeks.
It's seemingly going to continue for at least for 4 more games with a 2-0 lead over the defending champions the Denver Nuggets.
But what is excruciating watching these games is the repetitive ESPN ads that play over and over again.
With it being an American sport there's a lot of stops so the ads play so so much. It kills the experience.
