I bought us all Sony #PlayStation #PS4 and #Nintendo #Switch consoles years back. (Myself, #sonOne, #sonTwo, #Daddy_A). Additionally, I bought #A1, #GD1, #GD2 each their own Nintendo #2DS handhelds (and 2nd son sonTwo and I each got a #3DS handheld).
Part of the plan was that we'd all play together and thereby increase our time spent together and our communication, but that never happened, so I stopped buying consoles. -

Friday's cross-country travel was sixteen hours from door to door. I'm getting paid for most of it. The bag of cheezits on the planecounts as a half hour lunch.
Also, it was too dark for me to play with my handheld game system (Nintendo #3DS), so that and the #Nintendo #Switch got zero gameplay in 11 months. -

Now that my work schedule is more normal, I may pull out the #3DS or the #Switch and try to play a game with #A1, my 8 year old grandson.
I brought both of them on this trip, but in 3 months, I haven’t had either one turned on for more than ten minutes total. I really should have brought the #PSP instead.
But if he and I play together, it will be worth it. -

I just recently realized that I did not bring a charger for my #Nintendo #Switch. I have not need it, though. I think I turned it on once in 2.5 months. -

I thought about bringing the #PSP or the #PSVita with me, but instead I brought the Nintendo #Switch and the #3DS. Not that I’ve had any time to play, but in over a month, I haven’t even turned either one on.
I think it is official: I may say I like these Nintendo systems, but the way I avoid playing them says otherwise. With the Sony handhelds, I still don’t play a lot, but when I do, I enjoy it … and I don’t avoid them out of dread. -

I was finally able to mess around in #Fortnite on my #Switch. I'm a long way from being a valued ally that can keep up with my grandkids (right now, both #A1 and his younger brother #A2 play it). But the little bit I saw (story mode) was okay. -

While the work laptop downloads six updates, I decided to take a look at Fortnite on the #Nintendo #Switch. I haven’t opened it since February, so there’s an update that takes 90 minutes to download.
(It is probably going to #GS3 when he’s about 8 years old if it still works. He’ll have to share it with his brother #GS4.) -

#Daddy_A informs me that I made four year old #Little_Boy_A2 very happy when I sent a microphone headset for the #Nintendo #Switch. -

I brought the #Nintendo #3DS and #Switch with me on this trip. I think I turned each one on for about two or three minutes, then turned them both off before even starting to play any games.
I expect that the 3DS will be given to GS3 sometime after his 8th birthday, unless someone buys a 2DS for him first. -

Playing a little MegaMan on the #3DS. I and Daddy_A have MegaMan 11 for the #Switch (even though I don’t think I’ve played it yet), and I think I bought it for all of us on the #PS4, too. -

They're talking about game consoles vs computer games.
I'm in favor of game consoles, simply because I can't play a game without feeling guilt ("I should be working") on a regular computer. Not that I play games very much these days.
I use my Nintendo #Switch so rarely, that I think it is time to send it to #sonTwo to save it for #GS3. I just don't enjoy playing anything on it for more than about ten minutes. -

Someone talking about Stardew Valley. I bought the game for #PS4, but I have still never played it. I also bought it for #Little_Boy_A to play on the #Switch. -

Nintendo #Switch still outselling everything else; #PS5 has record launch sales; #Xbox Series X & Series S sales below XBOne launch.
Hoarders are using #bots to buy up supplies, hoping to scalp the consoles for higher prices. -

Feature update to Win10 version 20H2.
There’s really nothing in there worth the hassle of an “upgrade”.
And what’s with a previous update installing all this #XBox toolbar garbage? I don’t have one and even if I did, I wouldn’t want to link it with my laptop.
If I was a US Attorney, I’d be sending a strongly-worded letter to Microsoft with words like “antitrust” and “monopoly”, and asking them what outreach they’ve done to Sony and Nintendo about adding similar tools to work with _their_ gaming consoles.
Though, to be honest, I wouldn’t connect my #PS4 or my #Switch to the laptop either.In conversation from Shoyu permalink -

@mangeurdenuage Family gaming night! That's what I was trying to do when I bought my sons #PS4 and #Switch consoles, but so far, we've never had everyone together in one session. In conversation from web permalink -

Oh, that looks pretty neat. I have a real #Switch, so I'd probably only use #Yuzu to play homebrew games, if that's even a thing for the #Nintendo Switch. (I've heard that N is known for lawsuits.) In conversation from web permalink -

I still occasionally play the #PS4, the #Switch, or the #3DS (in decreasing order). But with the last two, 10-20 minutes and I don't even want to look at the machine for a week or two. At least I always have a low-key desire to play the PS4.
I currently have no plans to purchase the next generation of consoles unless utilization is much higher.In conversation from web permalink -

It could just be that I never owned or pkayed any #Nintendo devices, but I find that I rarely play more than 10 minutes at a time on #Switch, #Wii-U, or #3DS, while I can play for up to an hour on #PSP and #PSVita.
I even brought the 3DS on my trip.In conversation from mustard permalink -
