Alright, here we go. Let’s dive into this wild ride:
—
First off, can we talk about the aurochs? Seriously, not that great when you think about it. Most of the cave art—especially those around Montignac-Lascaux—comes from what we call the Magdalenian culture. Basically, that’s a fancy way of saying modern humans were doodling between 20,000 and 10,000 years back. But wait, that doesn’t totally rule out Neanderthals as artists. They were around too, doing their thing, scribbling on cave walls before bowing out about 40,000 years ago. Mostly in Spain, if I remember. But their art was kinda… different. Less about lifelike animal sketches and more about handprints and dots. Oh, and ladders. Why? No clue. Their stuff’s older, so it’s sketchier on details, naturally. The verdict? Their art blew cheeks.
Yeah, I’m totally winging this, and nope, not double-checking anything (other than how to spell those big words). Fact-check this if you dare! Imagine me, pointing to the exit, telling the fact-checkers to “get on it.”
Picture this: fully modern James here, critiquing away. Not some Neanderthal version of me with a heavy brow and a beret. Think “Hot Tub Time Machine,” but, you know, actually funny.
This week, Jon’s got his hands on the new Switch 2, courtesy of bestbuy.com. He’s been diving into Mario Kart World, and honestly, it’s like a non-stop barrage of shells. Picture him, just in his living room, obliterated by red shell after red shell. Oddly soothing, isn’t it?
Oh, and guess what? There’s a new Splatoon single-player game on the horizon.
And somehow, this train wreck of a show just keeps rolling. Don’t ask me to explain. I don’t get it either.
So, we pause for sanity—ours, not yours—and jump back in. Guillaume’s got this fervent pitch about F-Zero GX available on the Switch 2 NSO Expansion Pack. I’m not on board with this death race he’s promoting, but hey, it’s his thing. To appease his inner barbarian, he’s been diving into Valfaris, a 2D shooter bursting with guns, enemies, and all the violence you can handle.
Greg’s been playing around with the new Splatoon 3 patch for Switch 2. He’s got thoughts—something about HDR pops and a ridiculously stable frame rate. I mean, they’d be smart to call it “super-stable,” but whatever. As usual, I’m handling Nintendo’s marketing.
And finally, it’s me, James, your narrative guide and creator of this chaos. diving into “Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time” on the Switch 2. I’ve faced all sorts of time-stealers like kids, accountants, you name it. But a child time thief? New territory!
Wait, where was I? Right, so I just started playing, and my thoughts are fresh from the tutorial. By next recording, I should be further—unless something gets in my way. Like, you know, life.
Now, go ahead, send in those cave drawings.
