Hero GP: 6000 mph
Hero GP is a brand new Game Boy Colo(u)r game, released via itch.io for download to play in any emulators but also able to be used on a GBC itself via a flashcart or on an Analogue Pocket. It is obviously inspired by Hang On, but the constraints of the GBC make the game more streamlined, with more immediate controls and with a simpler game structure.
There has long been a quiet debate, currently drowned out but still very much happening, about human replacement vs human augmentation. Think of Gary Kasparov remarking years ago that he thought chess played by humans with computer assistance could be a far more interesting game than either human-only or computer-only chess.
Here’s an argument for augmentation over automation, and note how far it diverges from the current hype despite it being written from a very AI-friendly point of view:

⚠️ Please BE AWARE that there is a chance that if you transfer your save file from Switch to Switch 2, you may lose it. This person lost 20 years of data that they'd had since their Game Boy Advance. Totally brutal. It's a huge gamble, and to me, might not be worth it if you really value your save data.
I've been a sportsball coach for a few years now. The kids can be maddeningly distracted, but for the most it's fun getting them to see things in the game they hadn't seen before and helping them get better. But holy shit I could do without the parents (and the opposing coaches) who take it all way too seriously. This is a game. These are kids. Can't we just shut our traps and let them enjoy it?
So, I have been working on a video game for a while now, I will send random works from it around with the hashtag #GardenGame from now on, I will try to do so in as regular a basis as possible, so for today you get some plants. I will try to give something better next week

Ended up using a probability game mechanic again today and thought I might explain it here in case other #GameDev folks might find it useful. The basic problem it solves is when you want a percentage probability to be influenced by both beneficial and detrimental stats/effects, and you want these to balance against each other without the system easily tipping too far in either direction. Think about crit chance for example, and how many games have either lopsided systems where it's easy to max out at 100% or really opaque systems to try to balance things somehow. The system I'm about to describe has a nice intuitive explanation, but also permits positive & negative modifiers to balance out naturally (though it may not work well for every situation).

I’m planning on mostly playing Switch 1 games. Part of the reason I didn’t get the first one is that for the first couple of years, it was lacking in games, and after that, it felt like a lot of money for such an underpowered device.

Been playing Pistol Whip again. Such a great game. The Black Magic "hard" level, with Reckless and Hell options is ridiculously hard. Finishing at all is a feat.
Was wondering how the hell the top players managed to score so highly. I was in like 4th place thinking I was playing a practically perfect game.
But it turns out only with 188 hits. The top three, I noticed, has 189 hits! There's a secret dude!?
Found him, flying around in the sky mid level on the right.
Nice. That's me 3rd in the global leaderboard for Black Magic Hard Reckless Hell now then.
Maybe I shouldn't be giving the game away. If someone learns of the secret dude from this post and then beats me into 4th place I'll be miffed.

Got tired of AC Odyssey and decided to revisit my GOG library. It's full of classic goodies, which I often forget. Medal of Honor Allied Assault is still one of the best single player shooters. The orchestral music and the heroic story make this game a first-class experience, and the id 3 engine is built for digital gunplay.
