On Switch I'm playing through Mario Wonder (awesome game - have been slowly savouring it over the last few months) and Steamworld Quest. I'd heard mixed things about Quest, but I'm really enjoying it! I like how each character has their own deck of cards which you can synergize with the rest of your team. And it's a bit more forgiving than something like Slay the Spire as you can add or remove cards to your decks at your leisure.

On PS5 I just started Spiderman 2 - loving the larger map and ability to switch characters.

Lmao, this video was made for you

I've just finished Part 1 (around 200 pages out of 1000 - unfortunately the flights I had planned were cancelled, and I didn't get time to read over the weekend!). So far I've been introduced to the characters and the book has explained their natures as well as the dynamics between each of them. It's quite heavy reading at points, especially some of the religious discussion and the fact that there are a good number of footnotes explaining certain references in the text. That said, the web of interactions and different moralities is quite fascinating. It requires a level of concentration to get through, but there's enough of an interesting story and exploration of big ideas to keep me hooked so far.

I recently started The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. I'm a 100 or so pages in, and slowly getting a feel for the characters. It's a large book, but I've got some long flights coming up so hopefully I'll make a good dent in it :)

This and Mario Kart were definitely the highlights for me. Looks fun! :)

Ehhhh it's cool that this is a feature, but boy did it look laggy.

This actually looked really cool. An open world and seamless transition between maps is something I'd never had expected to see from a Mario Kart game.

Yeah, I was thinking game of life - how very simple rules and transformations can lead to some really complex behaviours. Essentially generating fractals live!

:3

This is hard on a phone lmao

But is that anything new either? I'm not sure I've ever seen Nintendo promoting specs since the N64.

Hmm I'm not sure I follow the author's argument here. Nintendo hasn't been trying to keep up with the power of Xbox or PS consoles for years, that's nothing new. But the Switch 2 is essentially a Switch with some upgrades and... better specs. If they'd 'moved beyond specs' then they'd have no need for a new Switch model.
