I don't know how to get the game-specific friend code, but my Switch friend code is SW-7599-5116-8104. Anyone else here with a Switch can add me as well. Of course, I think that goes without saying, as I am posting it, publicly. I don't have too many online games that anyone here would play, but it's always nice to have some friends.
What I'm really looking for, right now, are kitchen and bathroom items.
Kitchen wallpaper
Kitchen flooring
Kitchen sink
Kitchen stove
Full shower
I don't know if there's bathroom-specfic wallpaper and flooring. I do have tile walls. I also have a toilet, bathroom sink, refrigerator, and some kitchen tabletop appliances.
I'd also like a jukebox and K.K. Metal (music).
[ADDED LATER]
I missed all the showcases and stuff. Actually, I didn't even know that this stuff was going on. I've been a little distracted, as of late.

I find myself kind of frustrated that it’s the Netflix of gaming and not the music streaming services of gaming. Like I’d give them a lot of money but they keep not landing the games I want to spend hundreds of hours with.

I didn’t see any kitchen or bathroom specific walls in my catalog. But I did pick you up 3 kinds of tile flooring that I’ve seen used in kitchen or bathrooms irl. Also got you a kitchen mat, and the KK Metal song. It only lets me catalog order 5 times per day so I’ll check for more tomorrow

Thanks. Do they still have retro TV's? I forgot about that one. I hope I'm not being too demanding, here.

It’s cool it only takes a few mins to check and mail order something. It’s kinda cool to log into my old town and it feels somewhat new again

No. I’ve never even seen a WiiU in person. I know a lot about the game and its legacy though. I’m pretty sure I’ll like it a lot.
Especially since I think all the Xeno games have references and connections to each other. So including Gears and Saga. I’d like to play X and find the threads that connect them for myself.

New Mario & Luigi game and new Zelda look amazing. Was hoping they’d do something new with that Link’s Awakening remake engine. Zelda’s echo ability is going to be so fun. Also… Metroid Prime 4? I still can’t believe it’s finally on the way. Oh and dragon quest 1,2 And 3 remade in HD-2D. It’s a good time to be a gamer

Secondary games:
The new Mario party’s 20 player online mode sounds like a blast potentially too.
Tales of the Shire. Cozy game about just chilling as a Hobbit in Hobbiton? If it’s well made I’ll play a lot of this.
Stray. Was waiting for this to come to switch, I prefer platforming with the pro controller on the big screen
Perfect dark. Honestly never played this tho I loved Goldeneye. May give it a try but my expectations are low for n64 games these days
FANTASIAN. Been excited for this since before it was released on Apple Arcade. Was sad it was Apple Arcade exclusive. So cool it’s finally coming to switch. Final fantasy director and composer. Should be good. Battle system looks unique and fun
DKC Returns. This is a maybe, DKC was fun back in the day. if my kid is excited about cooping this I’ll get it. Don’t know how much fun it’d be solo tbh

Not surprisingly, the Elden Ring DLC is getting strong reviews. It's said to be about the size of Limgrave, the opening area of the game, which is pretty big. The Washington Post estimated it was 75% the size of the original game, which sounds larger. Several people are saying the game has fewer dungeons, but much larger and better designed ones, which is interesting.

Not the boss
I'd be interested if I had a character ready to go, but I think my only save is right at the start of NG+.

Only gripe about the direct: bulk of the good releases are scheduled for sept, Oct, November or later. So nothing much for the next few months still. That’s cool though I’ll continue my forgotten jrpgs, indie cozy and detective games until then

Xbox also has the best D-pad. Fuck Capcom. Want this on Xbox not PS. So sick of PS. Also don’t want the PS trophies. Especially if there are online trophies and there will be.
Raw deal on this one.

They put in a 10/10 effort with the hardware and a 2/10 effort with the software. It didn’t have much of a chance. Sony should know there’s no point in expensive hardware without the games to back it up. Hard to say what their plan was… hoping third parties would fill the gap?
At least they’re releasing a PC adapter.
Meta Quest seems king of VR for now in terms of overall value.

I feel that's been the story of gaming hardware for the first-half of this 9th console generation, as well as PC.

I don’t think I’m interested in VR anymore. I basically play RPG’s and turn based. I wonder if I’m over action games with the rare DD and Hogwarts exceptions.
The thought of being in a virtual world spinning around sounds actively unpleasant to me, not just uninteresting. I like enjoying a game on a screen and a nice sunny day.
When it’s cheap I’ll try of course but don’t need a screen in front of my face at all. It sounds unpleasant.

You mean like Kinect or the Wii? Both were very impressive tech but at best only managed to be cool novelties.

I'm not saying that bundling tech in new consoles is a guarantee it will catch on, but I think it is one of the best ways to establish it.

For a ton of people Wii Sports was popular enough on its own to justify buying a Wii. I don’t believe it had quite the same popularity on the Switch.
@DeadLazy I’ll say for the Apple Vision Pro it didn’t feel like wearing a typical VR set. When I was doing the spatial computing stuff it felt more like an impressive AR device, with screens just sitting anywhere I want in real life and virtual objects I could touch with my hands. And the total immersion VR stuff had such high fidelity it didn’t feel like other VR sets I’ve tried so far.
But yeah to your point I wouldn’t want this to replace my typical gaming setup. I see it as a separate device that I would use sometimes for specific games or experiences that make good use of it.

There’s an example of the Xbox acquisition helping a game be better, at least.Xbox's Acquisition Of Obsidian Helped The Team Stick To Single-Player For Avowed

Co-op games are my favorite kind of games but not every genre works well for it.

And, did you know FFX and 7 are same timeline? I didn’t. Makes FF7 jump up my replay list.
And before you bitch after not watching the video there are clips of directors or producers, and the main writer for 7 and X, either all but confirming or directly confirming it.
It also makes me want to play the remakes now because there are Easter eggs there too.
