What do people think of the new massive team attack? Does it mess with the balance too much? Is it easy to ignore if it does?

...Huh. Action platformer-shooter wasn't exactly what I was expecting from a Smurfs game. Seems like a decent game, too.

I've loved this Booster Course Pass. It's been so fun being able to look forward to new waves of content for MK8DX. The majority of the new tracks have been very fun to play on. They continued to surprise me by doing a lot more than courses, too. Characters, options, small features, and even balance tweaks!

Sure, it wasn't all perfect. Sure, all of the tracks are just brought over from Tour and not remixed the same way the base game remixed its retro offerings. Sure, Wave 1 looked like it was made in Roblox. But overall, I think the good far outweighs the bad. This DLC has been awesome. I'm honestly going to miss it. But hey, Wave 6 looks fantastic, so we're ending the BCP with a bang.

Funnily enough, I had a weird idea before for a dual screen hybrid console. As a handheld, it would be like a DS. To dock it, you can take the screens apart, dock the top screen, then use the bottom screen as the controller, like a Wii U. I thought this was a dumb idea and that Nintendo would never want to repeat the Wii U, but... Hey, who knows?

Oh, I see. 8BitDo really isn't known for their analog sticks, unfortunately. Hopefully this one is better.

Has 8BitDo made a stick like this before? I see that they've made a controller like the N64's before, but that's not the same kind of stick as this. This is like a GameCube controller's stick, which is really good. It's true that 8BitDo isn't really known for their sticks, though, so hopefully they pull through.

That controller has an 8BitDo logo on it. Two-handed N64 controller from 8BitDo soon?

I put the image in paint.net and increased the exposure, the results of which you can see here. Looks like the 8BitDo Ultimate Controller, but with N64 buttons. The analogue stick has an octogonal gate with a circular pattern on the cap, much like the GameCube controller's left stick. Now I'm wishing that 8BitDo would make a GameCube-like controller with hall effect sticks.

That's weird. I'm able to select it. I don't know what could be going on there.

 

Yesterday I got Boost for Lemmy. I was using Boost for Reddit then went to my home screen. It panned right and showed Boost getting installed again. I was pretty confused until I realized it was Lemmy!

I didn't feel like customizing it again, so I exported my settings from BR and tried importing them into BL to see if it would work. It did! Both of my Boost apps look identical now, both ever so pretty.

I was wondering how accounts would work. I thought that Boost might be its own Fediverse instance. I went to sign in, though, and it let me select the Lemmy instance I wanted to use. Now I can use the same account on my phone as I do on my desktop, so I can see the same account history and notifications.

Overall, I'm beyond pleased with Boost for Lemmy! The transition was completely seamless and it all works like a charm. Wonderful!
