The 3 new leads are great.
At least there isn't a three year gap between films like there was with the other trilogies. By this time next year, we'll only be ~4 months away from the Episode 8 release. Disney's firing all cylinders to make Star Wars films. |

| It looks like all versions are being patched today (PC, PS4, and Xbox One) ... the Xbox One can play with PC players now but not PS4 players. |

Miitomo Drop is the worst thing ever. There's a Reddit thread and YouTube videos that show the exact timing on how to pull some of it off but it's still hard to do.
The entire Miitomo app is bloated. Deleted it after a week because it's 900mb on a 16gb phone. I don't play a lot of games on my phone + the cost of clothing, difficulty of that Prices is Right plinko machine knock off, and answering the same asinine questions over and over to a bunch of strangers turned me off to it. There's nothing fun to it. Mii characters are neat but the execution here leaves a lot to be desired. Also, My Nintendo kind of sucks.

I like what Marco Aren't said about ads last year. Think that his blog post is a good read. https://marco.org/2015/08/11/ad-blocking-ethics

Finished the main storyline. I'm not going to give any spoilers. I wasn't incredibly impressed with it. It might be because it's been two years since I played through Alpha Sapphire but the game story felt way lighter than I remember with ORAS and XY. Some areas are way less complex like caves and forests. There's plenty of swimming sections given the game is set on a bunch of islands.
There's a lot of hand-holding and you're always told which way to go and what to do next. I would have preferred the ORAS interface over the Rotom-Dex. I think it's a great feature for newcomers or novices but it does feel a bit like an on-rails story.
Nitpicks: The protagonist character has no expression whatsoever. There's no "rival" character ... just Hau with the constant happy expressions and overbearing enthusiasm ... I'd take a "smell ya later" over the gleefulness of this guy. Team Skull is the most undeveloped team I can think of in recent memory.
I kind of wish Game Freak would put in a fast forward or 2x button for battle animations. It's the kind of thing that worked well in World of Final Fantasy.
The number of callbacks and references to older games were great at first but it honestly felt like Game Freak was reeling up its middle finger towards the end. Can't help but imagine that the target audience for this game wasn't alive or won't get some of these references.
There's some good things. HMs are gone and replaced with reusable TMs ... this is VERRRRY wellcome. No longer need an HM Pokemon ... *grabs shotgun* ... goodbye Bibarel.

I'm playing Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition. I like creative mode. It's something I can endlessly zone out and build in. I really liked the Vita version of the game but never really touched the PS4 version except to transfer my world from Vita and continue the world I was building.
Otherwise, I'm still playing Breath of the Wild because of the fun, open exploring and finishing off sidequests and other smaller things to do. Finally maxed out all of my inventory slots last night.
Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ and Puyo Puyo Tetris are sort of on my Switch backlog. I haven't played them a whole lot since I picked them up but they're fun in their own right. Just never found the right time/mood to play them in.
Tried starting the latest Fire Emblem game on the 3DS but can't seem to get into it (same with Awakening ... although, I did play Fates through Birthright and some of Conquest and Revelation).
Oh and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Lots of that. |

| Anyone still play this? PS4 finally does cross-play against Switch and Xbox One (along with Steam PC). |

| Cross-Platform party update came out yesterday. Isn't quite Fortnite or Minecraft level account system but it's a step in the right direction. |
