I’ve always read hardware to mean the console itself and software to mean the games when it comes to consoles. So I would expect the games to be playable whether they are digital or physical games. I’ve seen nothing to suggest Nintendo want to go the digital only route anytime soon.

At the end of any race the cars are weighed to make sure that they weigh a minimum of 798kg this is to ensure that there is no unfair advantage for running a car much lighter. Lighter cars go faster. It seems that at some point, Mercedes made an error with the weights on Georges car and at the end it was under this limit. As other has said this could be down to any number of reasons and nothing official has been released.

Some of the F2 races have had great close and side by side action. If we get that in F1 with the new rules then that’s fine. We don’t need faster racing, we want closer racing.

All I want is analog triggers back so that we can get racing games with proper acceleration and braking.

Jurassic Park. Those dinos beat many of today’s CGI films. Mixed in with the animatronic ones they just blend in so well. The story is simple (to quote Dr Malcolm) God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs. There are so many quotable lines, as shown just now, and the music is pretty unforgettable too.

The information found in the patents has led to the presumption that a Nintendo Switch Mini, Switch Pocket, or Switch Micro handheld console is in the works. One focuses on button redistribution, with the home button and capture button being moved to the bottom of the device. Another patent goes further with button movement, placing the L, ZL, R, and ZR buttons in a line. Apparently, doing either of those things would produce a more compact Switch console (regular-sized model is currently US$290 on Amazon).

In yet another filing, magnets are used to attach a cover to the rear during gaming or onto the display for protection, which would be ideal for a Switch model that may be transported loosely in the pocket (more so than the current Lite variant). There is also a patent for a new cooling system, which the leaker believes is headed to the Nintendo Switch 2 but could also be viable for a Switch Mini. Last but not least, there is a filing that pertains to housing screw placement that specifically states “there is room for improvement in the design of portable electronic devices from the viewpoint of miniaturization of portable electronic devices”.

This is the main part to read. This is all based on a few patents that may not lead anywhere.

I tried seeing if I could get it to fail. Nope. Even right in the corner of the screen it worked. Fun.

_ Whether the hurricane will affect the F1 weekend at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is still unclear, but that chance seems relatively small. Mexico City is about a five-hour drive from Acapulco, and the hurricane is expected to lose strength once it makes landfall._

So probably nothing to worry about then.

“Perfectly symmetrical violence never solved anything.” Gets a lot of use when playing Mario Kart with friends when two people hit each other with the same items or hitting each other with stars activated.

The Dark Crystal. That first series was a great build up and the preview at the end of it for the next looked awesome.

Gonna go with Mortal Kombat (1995) 45%, a video game to film adaptation of a fighting game is never going to be deep, but this is a fun ride. Could add in the follow up, Annihilation (1997), 4% and the 2021 film which sits at 54% too. Don’t expect much and they are fun films.

The blood moon rises once again.
