Spotify Wrapped is such a simple idea: It does nothing but show people a summary of what they listened to in the last year, but in a way that is loaded with fun bespoke data, and oh-so-shareable. It’s a fun way to reflect on the past 365 days, which is why more and more companies are capitalizing on the trend. The latest to do so is Nintendo, which has launched its own “Nintendo Switch Year in Review” for 2022. Here’s how to check out yours.
If you haven’t heard of Nintendo Switch Year in Review, you’re not alone. For some reason, Nintendo doesn’t make its Year in Review available directly on the Switch, which definitely hampers the number of players exposed to the fun feature. (I, for one, only found out about it thanks to social media chatter.)
To be fair, Nintendo does have a featured article in the Switch’s News tab discussing it, but that isn’t much for outreach. I had to refresh News a couple times to see it, and I only bothered to do that because I knew about the feature already. The average Switch player who jumps straight into their latest game of choice without bothering with News might never know Nintendo has a Wrapped-like feature to break down their 2022 gaming.
Nintendo isn’t the only company that does a yearly review like this. Apple Music Replay is also hosted on a website, rather than the Apple Music app. Spotify takes the complete opposite approach to Wrapped, making it a mobile app exclusive.
How to see your Nintendo Switch Year in Review
To start, head to the official Nintendo Switch Year in Review site. (If you’re on your Switch, you can open the Year in Review article in the News section to scan a QR code with your smartphone that will take you right to it.) Once there, click “Get Started,” then sign into the Nintendo account associated with your Switch.
From here, you can browse your top games of the year, including most played, see which games have more than three years of play, which game you played most frequently, your favorite games of each month for the past year, and your favorite games by time logged.
Mine is a terrible example, because, truthfully, I hardly played Switch this year. My main gaming foray was Elden Ring, using my Switch only to play a little Enter the Gungeon, Overcooked, and Breath of the Wild. I guess I should get playing for 2023!
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
