I've been playing lots of Tetris 99, which is a new release that just came out maybe a week ago. It's free if you pay for a Nintendo membership (or whatever it's called) for your Switch.

It's a battle royale version of the classic Tetris game. The game is played online with 99 players total (hence the title). The object of the game is to be the last player remaining, and there's a big list at the end, and it tells you how you scored.
When I first started playing, I was #86 of 99, but I got better and better with practice! Now, I'm usually able to get below 50 (but not always)! My high score: I got to #9 on the list yesterday! Pretty proud of myself for that, just wish I'd taken a screenshot for posterity! LOL
I downloaded a demo of Pokemon: Let's Go, Eevee! today, and I gotta say, I just don't get the appeal! Like, at all! I know the kids these days love their Pokemon... I guess it's actually been around for a long time now!
But I think I was born just outside of the Pokemon generation. I'm an 80s baby, so by the time it was a big deal here in the US, I was already like a teenager... That's if I'm remembering correctly. I just remember kids I babysat trying to teach me the card game!
Yeah, if I'm being honest, I don't see anything fun, or interesting, or cute about this Pokemon game (Ok, so some of the characters are cute, like Pikachu, but not many)! The thing that bugged me the most about it was the prolonged animation sequence of the Pokeball sorta bouncing around when you catch a Pokemon. Like, come on, like really?!
That being said, I may still give Pokemon Go! for iPhone a try... Once I get my battery replaced, that is. I have the app, but my current battery would just drain if I tried to play for longer than 5 mins. I feel like it might get me outside and walking, which would be a really good thing for my health!
Ok, my dude just said something about it that makes a lot of sense! "It's mostly just a game to make kids feel like they're playing something." That's exactly it! It's a kiddie game! And here I am, trying to be like, "???" If that makes sense. LOL
Haven't played Stardew Valley in a long while! A little intimidated. Might give it another go tomorrow when I'll have time for a good, long sesh. I'll have to do some research tonight in preparation. I caught a fish last time, but like, I don't know how? LOL |
