Love it. I'm playing RE9 and Assassin's Creed Shadows in bed while on vacation. RE9 in particular looks unbelievable.

Um excuse me sir but it's definitely very fun to me, a cool regular gamer with two followers and 250 posts about Palworld. Excited for the official release!

There are so many times in the first 12 weeks where it's 2am, the only place baby will sleep is on you, and you need to stay awake at all costs. The only answer for me was to throw on a psychedelic laser show in Ball X Pit.

I'd watch Aaron Pierre do a colouring book.

This sucked and I hated it. It should be so very, very easy to not put this shit in your game! Don't do it!

What's going on is it's engagement bait.

Did I just argue with a joke? part of a blue sky educational series?

Is there a 4D chess angle where he's so laughably ineffective that he's actually helping by directing the NIMBY energy of his constituents at totally doomed efforts like Lawrence Plaza?

They all have to ask their moms if it's okay first.

(I remember the GBA and DS iterations of this being huge when I was a kid)

I keep an eye on FB marketplace and the used market for this game has cratered in a way that never happens for Nintendo titles. The Switch 2 edition is floating around for 40-50% less than retail. S1 Breath of the Wild doesn't come that cheap!

I've known this game existed for twelve minutes and I'm dying for a Switch release.

After my first critical error episode I was definitely thinking it was neat but when it comes to games, probably deeper than I was looking for.

You got my $5 three weeks later lol

Seems like this is inherently brutal work, because you're trying to build your audience by prospecting into a much bigger one that is majority indisposed towards what you're trying to do, and often angrily so!

I think you should consider it good work worth doing. [cont'd]

If a Clair Obscur port falls on a Switch 2 but only me and like three other people are left to play it, does it make a sound?

Gaming subreddits are absolute cesspits. Eventually every single one I check out reveals itself to be full of people like this.

Maybe I'm naive, but him getting away with it and him translating it into electoral success are two different things. I continue to believe in my heart that we're headed for another humiliating Bradbrad flop.

Oliver, how do you rate the prospects of future improvements in the Switch's DLSS models?

I definitely recognize the technical achievement of this running in handheld, but the resolution does put me off a bit. Is it crazy to imagine the ~600p internal going all the way to 1080p in a few years?

Made with a small team in a single year for the Nintendo 64 from the assets of its predecessor, Majora’s Mask could have been a shameless cash-inβ€”but instead has gained wide recognition as the most mysterious, mature, and touching game in the series. It’s also the Zelda game that has inspired more inventive fan theories and bone-chilling internet horror stories than might be expected from a high-fantasy adventure.

I like how each version hits differently. Both are good! Thanks for sharing.

I'm so ready to pull the trigger on this (assuming I ever finish Divinity...)
