    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.)

    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.

    1. PlayStation 5 sales in November are higher than any US console launch
      from Elizabeth Henges
      Despite stock shortages, Sony's PlayStation 5 sales for its launch month are higher than any US console month, accord to NPD Group.

    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.

    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.)

    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.

    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.
