Yeah, Tetris on the 3DS was great!

I gather that the right stick works for accelerate and brake.

I literally said that’s what I was doing. It doesn’t help when you want to use gas and brake at the same time though.

Apparently if you have a GameCube controller and the adapter for smash, the analogue shoulder buttons are supported by Trials.

That makes the fact that the Pro controller doesn't have analogue triggers even weirder.

I must have owned it for at least five systems going all the way back to the Amiga, which Gaz told me was the original!

Not quite, I said I always associated it with the Gameboy even though it had apparently been ported to the Amiga before then

It is so good, you’ll love it!

I’m sure Russ will be your date

-edit- fucking hell, I managed to completely miss JBR’s post.

We played a few of the opening challenges and it was good, puzzly fun. If they don’t get significantly bigger in scope, however, the game appears very short.

I thought that, until I realised there were three episodes (plus spoilers a bonus one).

It gets harder, especially if you’re trying to get all three diamonds.

One blow I dealt made BIG NUMBERS of 9,999 spurt out a dudes face and suddenly I couldn’t see. I was cumming so hard my glasses fell off.

Bought via Ali Express a Nice little cable to use my GameCube controllers... i must say the waveboard is stil the best Controller ever Made.. The Nice green A button just fits so good inderdaad my thumb. Reality bought to many control options now - the 8 bit do SNES style pad. Sinds i thougt ht the pro controller was too expensive - the pro controller, since my Son asked that for st. Niclas to plat fortnite with (and it was a bit Chevalier achter a year) - the pokeball controller, since it gave my daughter na extra Pokémon. - the flipgrip to plat Ikaruga in tate mode - and now the cable tvuse my Cube controllers... stil surviving Threes generations later - oh and you van plat just dance with Your phone

Tetris has never clicked with me before, even though I must have owned it for at least five systems going all the way back to the Amiga, which Gaz told me was the original! However, Tetris 99 is great, even though I am terrible and my best is #28. Sal is a lot better and she’s got a couple of top tens.

GAZ CANNOT BE TRUSTED Tetris was the first entertainment software to be exported from the Soviet Union to the United States, where it was published by Spectrum HoloByte for the Commodore 64 and IBM PC.

I've started playing that Octopath Traveller. God-DAMN it's hard. I've only played like 6 hours or so and done the first chapters of 5 of the people (there's 4 chapters for each of the 8 characters). I've barely been able to buy any gear for my merry band of fannies cause I have to keep buying these sweeties that revive my dead companions. And they die a lot in the boss fights. Fuck me, do they die. I've had multiple attempts at every boss I've met and I've only just started the bleeding thing. These bosses don't fuck around either, one dude has an insta-kill move for one character if they're not blocking AND at about full health, some fucker poisons the entire band and does over 100 HP damage each time, another fucker keeps reviving two companion dicks to help him beat my ass. And my fannies? That woman with the dagger can fuck right off. She was hitting one guy for 1 HP of damage. ONE FUCKING POINT OF DAMAGE. Good job I had her though cause just a random battle saw this annoying monster who would not die and was strong to every weapon I had! Except the dagger, which was the only weapon that could break him. BUT STILL FOR ONLY 5 damage. But then the damage of my other fannies was doubled... and the hardest hit was 30 DAMAGE. Fuck sake, it took ages. And it drained a load of potions for reviving mana and all that shit. It's old-school is what I'm sayin'. But it's a bit of a steep learning curve cause I never played JRPGs when I was a young un'. The graphics are fucking PIXEL ART, again, but they're not too bad to be fair. Nicely stylised and it has this really aggressive depth of field effect that looks really good. So yeah, I'm playing a game on my casual Nintendo Switch and it's about as hardcore as you can get. Jesus.

The open beta of Trials Rising is now playable. It’s the same maddeningly addictive formula as previous games in the series, and I’ve just lost two hours to it when I thought I’d give it a quick go. Not sure if I’ll buy it on the Switch though, as it doesn’t have analogue triggers, so I’ve been using the right stick for accelerate/brake instead.

I gather that the right stick works for accelerate and brake. Dunno if there's anything you can do to get rid of the N64 era fog though.
