Nintendo Switch 2: What do I do?


I've never really played games like this. I'm kind of starting off tabula rasa.


Games like what? I know you had a Wii, that was similar, just less portable.

Switch Sports is a thing, which is fun to play with other people in-person. (Basketball, etc.)

I have a collection of bar games (pool ...

Nintendo Switch 2: What do I do?

Gaming with other people usually just requires a multiplayer game and a friend who also has a switch and the same game.

Personally, I’m a Pokemon nerd, so if that appeals to you, I’d be happy to do remote battles or help you with trading stuff.

What kinds of games do you usually like playing?

Have you gotten any cool tech recently that you want to share?

I built a 320wh power bank recently. It only has two USB-C ports though.

I guess you could power a pair of MBPs from it, but it’s actually intended to power a raspberry Pi setup for an absurdly long time.

I 3D printed the case, if that matters. $100 worth of batteries, about $20 for the other ...

Old tech

I’ve taken to vintage stuff recently. I recapped/revived two Mac Plusses that I had in my basement, then repaired a pair of IIsi’s that needed some work.

I ended up setting up and maxing out a QS G4 tower my dad had, which is a very nice OS9 machine. Especially after you add a SATA card and m.2 SSD ...

Other trivia: Coco has a bum leg. His left femur was, at some point, broken and it healed wrong. So we do daily PT and he takes pain meds.

I suspect, but cannot prove, that the injury is related to his intense hatred of diesel engine noise, and very specific fear of school busses. I live on a ...

I also want to give a shoutout to this dude: Agoyo.

He got adopted a little over a year ago, but I had him for six months and I am NEVER fostering a mastiff again. Even a small one. They apparently always smell like wet dog. Like a perma-musk.

He was a sweetie with me, but anything that was too ...

First few photos are the recent foster dogs. Seemed like chihuahuas mixes were popular this year. The Merle chihuahua was notable as being a bit of a designer breed. The black pug/chi was an absolute bastard. The sort-of-golden retriever looking dog was a super mutt (I ran his DNA for fun) but he ...
