It's 2026 and games are getting played! Here in this thread I'll be tracking game completions. Last year was a bit slower for me, will I pick up the pace this year?
I wish you all a 2026 full of great games, healthy lives, and good news!
With that said, here are my games beaten;

If we do get a partner direct this week or next, I could see this being a shadow drop.

Look, if they give me an offline copy of Dr. Mario World then I'm all in on Panel de Pon instead.

I'll sign on to this, but would accept Nintendo consoles also having Dr. Mario as an option.

this weekend i visited a beloved local cafe/record store and they had a bathroom labeled "Gay Bathroom". when we complimented the sign the barista said sometimes shitty people ask if there's a different bathroom they can use, so they have a second one in the other room labeled "Super Gay Bathroom"

If you didn't see it this morning, Super Mario Galaxy series amiibo are out April 2 and now priced at $34.99. Originally the MSRP on these was $39.99, still priced at MSRP at some places. Not Amazon though.

Whoa, a price drop? I appreciate them doing some course correction here (though it's still pretty pricey for an amiibo).
Looks like my pre-orders adjusted over at Best Buy.

On recommendation from a colleague we watched this rather new movie. Very interesting premise based on real life events.
A proper mix of humor, tension, and drama. I really liked this one. Really enjoyed Kirsten Dunst in this also.

Just finished the Sunday movie and the credits get small and another movie ad image comes on the screen.
In the upper left it says, "Your next streaming adventure awaits!".
Like, piss off man. Streaming services... Convenient and yet annoying AF. The constant push for consumption disappoints me.

It's such an easy decision to never play or purchase a game from these folks. What a gross group.

Rumour: YouTube could be launching this month for Nintendo Switch 2
One of the things that many of you have been asking for is a YouTube app for the Nintendo Switch 2. We've heard time and time again that it's being worked on by the official YouTube X account, but it has never materialised. Now a rumour has appeared via a YouTube Discord mod who says Google has been working on a YouTube app for the Nintendo Switch 2 and it’s set to release this month.

These HP meters in Splatoon 3 feel pretty useless.
Very curious why they're added.

I share your same sentiments. I'm not even a big South Park fan overall but I feel like they should have waited and just done a mini season later like they did with The Simpsons.
Being more engulfed in the literal world of South Park world have been fun.

But I will say, what a snake with H&R Block. They offered a discount for filing before the 4th, and you MUST click through the email to get it.
I nearly finished, got to the payment situation, then realized they weren't applying the benefit. Luckily saving and going in via the link did work.

11.) Apollo 13
Definitely one of those big blockbusters I just never saw, until today. Pretty good stuff. Fun to see how they managed zero-g back then. Hanks is always fun to see as well. Some real emotion in this one even if you know how it ends.

Ugh. I'm getting pretty tired of repeating this try. Purple Stake on Blue Deck.
Is there a better deck for this? I'm trying to play this where I beat every deck once and beat gold stake at least once.

My wife and I started watching The Studio, and it is amazing how fucking infuriating I feel about this second episode.
