The hybrid console idea was clearly a great idea that has worked well for Nintendo. Personally though, I just use mine at home docked nearly all the time, so the hybrid element is wasted on me.

I mainly just have mine for the few big Switch exclusives. My library of games on there is much smaller than elsewhere, though most of those games tend to be excellent ones that I put a lot of time into.

Hey all - sorry, I've been pretty much off here for some time (I've dropped in occasionally but not really contributed much). Afraid 2020 got too much - crazy busy at work, long hours, then kids being poorly (nothing serious), plus Christmas and general world gone mad-itus. I got a PS5 at launch, and only managed to play one playthrough of Miles Morales. I also got a Series S for Christmas (yes my credit card bill is concerning) and have only just logged on to install a couple of games.

Really struggled to get much gaming or enthusiasm. Just before Christmas, I did start Hollow knight (after 2 previous failed attempts to get into it) and I have really gotten into that so hoping that I manage to sustain that and get back into the swing of things!

Still, will try and get a bit more engaged again. No major drama! So Happy New Year and all that!!!

Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot

@Rudy_Manchego Hey man, glad you are doing ok all things considered. I'm sure you will get your gaming mojo back soon.

Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

@Rudy_Manchego Christmas has completely nobbled my Hollow Knight progress, you've reminded me to pick it back up.

Also, hello!

Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.

@Rudy_Manchego Good to see you again, pal. 2020 was too much for me too. And I was gone for most of the year. It's a new year, so new hopes!

@JohnnyShoulder Thanks sir!

@kyleforrester87 Who are you again?

@Gremio108 Good use of the word nobbled! Yeah, I got back on it last night and managed to get past the Traitor Lord who was giving me trouble. I'm at the point I could probably end the game but I have a few areas to fully explore and more charms/nail upgrades to get.

@DerMeister Hey great to hear from you again! Thanks for the message. Hope all is well with you and yours!

@RogerRoger Love the new (or probably a few weeks old) gif on your profile pic. I have started watching Clone Wars with my daughter on Disney + and thought of you and your forum name with the droids!

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Thanks Foxy-G for the message. Are you having to work during this new lockdown? My wife is in early years so is hving to work full time.

@Rudy_Manchego I'm way behind you. I've not actually fought a boss for a while, but I'm just about to venture to the 'Something Lake' (memory fails me).

It's one of those games where you're flying when you're playing it, but when you stop and return to it, it can seem quite daunting to get back into

Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.

@Gremio108 You are totally right. Before Christmas I got to a point where I got surprised by a boss and died but it was a long way to the bench so had to force myself to get back in then try and beat this boss over and over till I could explore (which is my favourite bit).

@RogerRoger Ha ha - well she loved The Mandalorian and I've never watched any of the Clone Wars or Rebels so some good bonding!

So my stupid arse clicked on a (fake) link from a fake Amazon email. I got redirected to a new tab and nothing seemed to have happened, though it may have been very quick. Disconnected my PC immediately, deleted cookies, did a virus scan (nothing showed up).

Anything else you guys recommend doing? Or what I should be looking for?

@Octane As long as you haven’t downloaded anything, you should be fine. Since you’ve done a virus scan and nothing’s popped up, none of the usual suspects that can be installed through phishing emails seem to have affected you. Do you have a firewall?

@nessisonett Nothing shows up in my downloads file, or in the downloads tab on Chrome. Admittedly, I don't know how advanced these phishing emails are these days. It might've slipped through for all I know!

So... thousands of Trump supporters have flooded capitol hill and senators are being given gas masks and are in hiding as shots are fired into government buildings.

The United States is officially a failed state.

The only positive thing about climate change is that the ocean between me and the USA is getting bigger every day

@Ralizah The BBC correspondents who’ve been reporting from Washington for over 20 years are officially calling the US a failed state. This is insane.

@nessisonett People are being shot and probably killed in the capitol.

There is no law in this country if Trump and all complicit Republicans aren't arrested after this.

@Ralizah Correct me if I’m wrong but I didn’t think even during the Civil War that the Capitol Building had been stormed by essentially a militia force. It’s eerily similar to videos you see from third-world countries.

Watching the live news it seems this kind of golpe is organized by 40 years old, semi-bald and slightly overweight men... The stereotypical american crazy shooter.
It won't end well anyway.

Praise the Sun, and Mario too.
