While haters will always be hating, I actually feel like the obsessive negativity surrounding Switch 2 in general has been started to subside; the one-two punch of Requeim and Pokopia, a GOTY-level third party game arriving day 1 and holding up very well graphically plus a first party killer app, really changed the conversation in my experience.

Of course, toxic grifters who thrive on ragebait will continue to spread their filth, but I have noticed that a lot of folks are warming up to the system.

I will add to this: While “doomers will doom“ remains a true statement, I do agree that this month is by a landslide the most positive I’ve seen people about NS2 sales figures in a while. November with the US data, December with it underperforming NS1, January with it falling closely in line with PS5… February sales talk has been very neutral. It’s refreshing.

And a major update is out for System Shock on Switch 1/2 which promises to boost the game to a consistent 60fps on the latter:

Well can they do such a Switch 2 model for other regions too?

All, I just got the coolest thing ever off of FB Marketplace.

Yarn Yoshi Amiibo! Only for $20. Could not pass up on that deal— this is like one of the most expensive Amiibo out there.

I still have one of those from when I preordered Yoshi's Woolly World on Wii U in 2015.

I don't even collect/use Amiibo and have never touched it, it just came bundled with the game.

Well if ever you’re looking to have somebody take it off your hands, I can be that guy. I love collecting Amiibo (at cheap prices… I never purchase Amiibo for full price unless they’re very rare or from a franchise I hold very highly).
