Guys, wait till they start quoting each other and liking each-others' posts

Doing my best to clean these up when they occur. But that's the age of what the internet has come to.

by the way, the new Super Mario Wonder is amazing! Been playing this smaller indie game called Cocoon and it's a visual feast (if you like puzzle games)

Finished both SMW and Tears of the Kingdom this year, both worth it

Agreed! I spent more time on Zelda this year than everything on Xbox - don't think I played a lick of PlayStation (I did a few of their exclusives last year).

Since everyone is jumping on the year end wrap up ala Spotify, I was able to get some metrics:

Nintendo
13 games
229 total hours
Zelda TotK 188, Mario Wonder 23, DK: Tropical Freeze 10

Xbox
15 games
143 hours
98 achievements (1,765 gamerscore)

A Plague Tale: Requiem (17 hours)
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

Can you please compile the games attended and amount of time spent cheering on the Boys in Blue?

Can you please compile the games attended and amount of time spent cheering on the Boys in Blue?

sure! a total of 86 games attended in person (79 home/regular season, 1 Open Cup, 1 CCL, 5 Playoff); if you average 2 hours a game, that's 172 hours (7 full days/1 week)

edit: or roughly 1 Zelda TotK

200 hours on TOTK and 20 on Super Mario Brothers Wonder

I tried to get into Baldur's Gate 1 on Switch at the end of the year but it just feels clunky / I didn't get the hang of it.

It’s a great way to explore tons of games, but it’s frustrating when something you’ve downloaded suddenly disappears from the library! At least the cloud saves are a lifesaver—definitely makes it easier to pick up where you left off. I’ve been diving into some fun video game apps lately, too.

Sounds Bot-ty! Tell me, what boroughs do NYCFC play their home matches (excluding New Jersey)?

Lol, LionNYC is cooking

switch 2 announced today. looks to be upgrades and refinements. no details with regards to new "killer" features and no games listed yet, although it seems mario kart 9 is probably top of the list.

personally, i won't be upgrading right away unless there's a killer feature that i just can't live without. otherwise, i'll be waiting for the right game to come along... 4K zelda sounds nice, but i wonder how they will be able to top botw and totk.
