Age of Imprisonment so far is the game that most makes me want a Switch 2, but I'm trying to hold out for an OLED revision...

That game hit me hard, not cause it was deep, but just because I guess the mental space I was in at the time had me going "you're right, game, what even is the point of anything?"

My wife found these two CRT TV's at an estate sale, snagged them both for me for $20. Sadly, after testing, only the one on the right works as of now, the one on the left will turn on but just as the picture is coming on it shuts back off. That one only has composite input though, and the working one has S-Video, so I'm not too upset since that'll give a better picture anyway and $20 is still a great deal considering TVs like this can go for hundreds online. Anyway, to facilitate retro gaming on these, I also snagged: An Extron VSC 500 downscaler. It'll take an RGB signal from a VGA cable and convert it to 480i over composite, component, and S-Video outputs, just what my new TV needs. And to top it off: Displayport-to-VGA cable, so I can output from my PC to the VSC, for optimal retro gaming. No more janky CRT filters, just the real thing bay-bee.

I got two endings for The Talos Principle (no chance of getting all the stars for the third ending). I thought it was OK, a bit "I'm 14 and this is deep" and there were a few too many puzzles with too little variation so I got a bit bored by the end. I do also have the DLC but played the first level and it was so convoluted rather than just challenging i turned it off with no intention of going back.

Don't worry, there is no chance on Nintendo missing out on a opportunity to re-sell their customers something.

Pre-ordered a few things following this morning's Nintendo Direct. I'm particularly happy about the Galaxy collection since I don't feel like hunting down and overpaying for a copy of the previous anniversary collection. And really, Galaxy 1 and 2 are all I need because they're the only two 3D Mario games I still haven't played. If I ever feel like replaying 64 or Sunshine, I can just do it through NSO. I'm a little annoyed that we now have a release date for Prime 4 and still no sign of remasters for 2 and 3, though. I really hope they'll still be coming at some point down the line.
