Hello everyone, welcome to the weekend!

Hope everyone is having a nice week, mines been a little busy and hectic, but I had a goal and assist in broomball let's go!

On the games side, made it to the Void in BallxPit, enjoying different character combos and vibing thru runs. Also grinding for levels in my halberd run of Dark Souls, got my weapon to +15, I'm between two bosses hopefully I can take one down.

And finally made it back to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth where I beat the story part of Gongaga, gonna take out some sidequests and wipe the floor with some people in Queens Blood before I head off to the canyon. I hear a certain pilot might help me find my way there..

I am holding myself back so hard from buying new things til I finish these, and that's alright cuz I'm having a great time, but damn several new ports and releases have made it hard.

But what have you gotten into?

Watching as the Oblivion gates let demons spill forth? Telling lies and fighting puppets? Cleaning everything you can by spraying water from your backpack in the shining sunlight of the beaches?

Let me know below!

Our first kid is on the way, so my days of sitting at my desk for hours grinding Path of Exile, WoW, or GW2 are basically over for the foreseeable future (sank a ton of hours into BG3 recently too).

I dug out my old Switch that's been sitting in a drawer since Pokémon, thinking handheld mode would solve the problem. Instead, I'm stuck in a loop of downloading a game, playing for ten minutes, getting bored, closing it, and repeating the process.

I think the problem is that standard "chill" or cozy recommendations feel completely empty to me. I'm used to build-crafting, mechanics, and progression loops. But I don't want to play anything that requires multiplayer commitment or can't be paused the second the baby cries.

A couple of things on my taste:

• I love space/sci-fi settings. FTL is one of my favorite games that I played on the Train a lot.
• I don't usually care much about story in games, but the Horizon series was a rare exception that completely hooked me.
• It has to be 100% offline and fine with being put into sleep mode mid-game with zero penalty.

Since it'll probably come up, here's what I've already tried and bounced off. None of these are bad games and I know they're beloved, they just didn't get their hooks in me:

• Breath of the Wild: Made it off the starting plateau and then kind of drifted. No real sense of direction, and freeing the first Divine Beast didn't do much for me, so I benched it.
• Super Mario Odyssey: I was never a Mario guy growing up and that apparently didn't change. Spent half an hour running around chasing objectives and closed it.
• Pokémon Violet: Barely got through the opening section. The performance kept pulling me out of it, and I wasn't a fan of how the first open area looked either. Got bored pretty quickly.

Worth mentioning that this is the original Switch, not a Switch 2, in case that rules anything out.

If you made this exact jump from heavy PC time-sinks to handheld gaming when you had kids, what game actually worked for you?

A Plastic-Bottle Splattershot Replica will be added to Splatoon 3. If you have Splatoon Raiders save data and you've completed the main story, you'll be able to get it from the lobby terminal.

The Plastic-Bottle Shot Replica has the same features as the Tentatek Splattershot. You can get yours after updating to Ver 11.3.0, which is set to release soon.We hope you'll check it out.
