So don't boink in while recording video? Aside from video capping a transaction or talking about sensitive stuff while recording, is there more of a threat?

Another article I read about it said they could gain access to the payment info saved in your eShop account.

Has anyone read anything about Wii U and 3DS sales ahead of the eShop closure in about three months? I'm surprised more of them aren't included in the holiday sale.

There have been quite a few sales on the Japanese 3DS eshop.
As far as US stuff, a lot of Capcom games are on sale, as well as Culdcept Revolt and Rpg maker fes. Plus a lot of shovelware and a few decent small publisher titles
To my knowledge, if there are any planned last hurrah sales, nothing gas been announced.

That's exciting. Releasing two days before Christmas with a somewhat stealth drop and no reviews doesn't ease my concerns. Will wait for reviews and impressions first, but I'm hoping it's as good as the first.
First posted user reviews are mostly bad. Complaints of game breaking bugs, poor performance, and generally just bad game design. The bugs and performance should be fixable I hope. I remember the first one had at least one game breaking glitch that I never saw.
I'm worried about the performance complaints though as this game has been in development over 5 years. Scope creep leading to a poor game has been brought up a few times which was one of my major concerns. Hopefully some sites can put up some reviews, and they can quickly patch the perfmance/glitch issues.
It's a shame as I have a $10 gift card and nothing to buy now.

That's very disappointing, especially because like you said, this was in development for quite a few years. I already bought the game, but now I know not to bother playing it until it gets patched up. Maybe this dev deliberately chose not to send out review copies for that reason.

Or you could play it and let us know if the user reviews are legit. :P I don't trust Reddit and Metacritic user reviews too much, but it's all I could find.

I was reading/watching more about that recent exploit that could allow hackers to take over your system and I was surprised that this goes beyond Nintendo's 1st party titles on Wii U, 3DS and Switch. It was actually first discovered in 2016 when a modder was snooping around in Mario Kart Wii's code (but has since been discovered in Mario Kart DS which was all the way back from 2005).
Since at that time Nintendo didn't have any kind of bounty for hackers to be rewarded for submitting that kind of info, the hackers just kept it to themselves. But they did make codes that could essentially brick other players' consoles, or remotely install CFW. By 2016 you'd need a modded console to play Wii or DS games online anyway.
But stuff like Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon on Wii U haven't been patched yet and the full list of games affected by this exploit is bigger than what has been released publicly so far. And Nintendo's bounty payouts to these groups has been pretty low all things considered (one guy getting $577 for an exploit that could have potentially ended up costing Nintendo millions of dollars). There's actually a group of Japanese hackers that are active in Mario Kart 7 and resetting other players' VR ratings in online lobbies at the push of a button and they didn't submit their exploit for a bounty, they chose to just be butt-holes.

For those who are friends with me on Switch, pls don’t judge if you see “Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don’t Dry” logged in my play activity. I’m only playing it for educational purposes.
…yah, that’s it. Educational purposes.

That ol' Larry Laffer has still got it, let's go boys.
lol truthfully, I love point and click games and discovered LSL when I was first getting into them so there's a nostalgia factor for me with this series. They're not particularly great, but I love crude humor and Larry is such a dork, I had to give these new ones a go. Plus boobs.

Got Mario + Rabbids Spark of Hope and been playing it. Pretty fun so far, not really bothered by the non grid aspect. It's still fun. The lack of battle goals is nice, no need to play perfectly.

I'm finally trying Dead Cells again. I tried it a few years ago and lost interest pretty quickly. I guess my hangup is I don't really know what I'm supposed to be doing. Just try not to die???
I have never been a huge fan of rogue-likes, but I'm to the point now where I get annoyed every time I see another one. It sounds like a cool idea....randomly generated levels so they're never the same. But it seems like a lazy copout now. Concepts like level design and progression just non-existent.

Concepts like level design and progression just non-existent.I definitely hear that, that the idea might seem like a copout, however I think that when it comes to rogues the design of the stage isn't the focus of the game but rather the mechanics and gameplay. For instance, when I was playing Slay the Spire and Hades, although level design doesn't change much, there's definitely progression and a deep and intricate level of synergy going on. Something that non rogues don't usually have nearly that much of.

Hades was truly different. I never felt like I was starting over because they made death part of the story.

I got Pokemon Scarlet for Christmas and have been playing through it. I've beaten 2 gyms, 2 titans, and I'm about to attack my first team star base. I'm glad they finally made a 3D Pokemon game with a huge open world, with free-roaming Pokemon. This is the style I've been wanting for a long time. I don't mind the poor graphics too much. I mean, better graphics would be great, but I don't think I would want it to look TOO realistic. I prefer a more cartoonish look for Pokemon. But, the poor performance is frustrating. They really need to make some other improvements too, like giving us a way to sort Pokemon in boxes. I loved the way Let's Go did it. You just had one giant box and could sort on various criteria. I'm really hoping they add that soon.
