I have to wait for the arrival of the Switcher some time in autumn, but I think I will like it. Clunky combat and fiddly menus are usually right up my street.
However, the post-E3 release schedule for the Switch is all over the place. I'm still trying in vain to get the limited edition of Link's Awakening remake. The European version is obviously so limited that it briefly popped up on Amazon yesterday and became immediately unavailable again. Ni no Kuni for the Switch will be released on the same day and Dragon Quest XI drops a week later. This is the cockwomble Nintendo planning that we all know and love.
My copy of Mario Maker 2 should arrive tomorrow morning and comes with a sketch book and a pencil, so I will be drawing goombas to while away the time.

Take the pad into work and photocopy some pages to keep it pristine for the eBay sale lateer on. And steal a pencil from work.

Those advert popups hacked my spelling. Seriously, just switch browsers, otherwise it's insufferable.

I too have been suffering with the ads.
After reading here, I have now switched browsers to Firefox. Hey presto, all good.
Mr Tiddles is a good man. I've always said it.

Praise the Goddesses, I've finally snagged my Link's Awakening Ltd. Ed. from the UK Nintendo store. Let's see how many minutes it lasts before it's sold out.

Sorry I am quiet - I have to try and sleep tonight early as possible - not only a clinical lead coming to fuck up my legs tomorrow, but also the Executive Director i/c of 'Care in the Community' "to see what happens". So it's a very rare chance to tell a high muck a muck what a shambling monstrosity of a service he is running, primarily because managerial types like him are perfectly happy to impose restrictions on their staff without a bloody clue what the clinical implications are for victims, sorry, patients like me.

God, I miss being in NHS management and commissioning. Thank fuck I never had to see any patients when I was forcing people with actual clinical training to make unreasonable savings.
Outsourcing to the private sector to deliver short-term savings was the best trick; it was obviously going to deliver more costs and worse services in the long run.
Also bullying charities into providing ever cheaper services to the most vulnerable patients. Charities were great to commission from because they were far easier to bully, more willing to accept blame, and easier to confuse into submission.
Cost displacement was another great trick if you can get away with it. Want to save money in community teams? Easy, reduce team size, ease up on the referral criteria, demonstrate to commissioners that activity has increased, whilst at the same time referring the most complex and expensive cases to secondary care. That way, you can reduce costs, cope with what appears to be a higher number of patients, and displace the expensive patients to other providers, and demand more money from commissioners for the increased activity.
Can't remember why I left such rewarding and pleasurable employment.

Today has been hot. I'm wearing three quarter length shorts and a distressed Zelda Tri-force black tee shirt. Really turned heads among the crumblies in the local 'spoons. Destry, cool AF EDIT: This one: Quite the look on a man in his 65th year I'm sure you'll agree.

And I had a huge pork pie from the butchers for lunch whilst picking up a kilo of lamb. You mean two and a bit pounds of lamb? Brexit now.

Three-quarter length shorts are the sign of someone who can't work the washer-drier competently. Distressed t-shirts are the mark of a person who doesn't care for his clothes' mental health sufficiently. Neither are things to boast about.

Yup, Destry. It will even tell me the seconds. Technology, huh, what will they think of next?
