    I shouldn't spend the money, but I got a Switch 2 pre-order in place. Half of it will be paid for with credit card rewards points though. Mostly I'm worried if I don't lock one in now that it will be impossible to get as this tariff nonsense escalates. #halo

    :cool: I, for one, am shocked and disappointed to hear it. I'm not even sure what this would have been about, have there been any significant political developments? All I know is I can't wait to preorder my Switch 2!

    It obviously won't happen overnight, but long-term it's crazy to think about how many computers are not (officially) eligible for Windows 11 and people will just continue using 10 because it's functional and reliable. Especially if inflation isn't contained. My job pretty much requires that I...

    I'd always rather a game get released when it's ready and not a moment sooner, but it was a total mistake to announce it in 2020. And, Fable will still be out before Elder Scrolls VI, which is very funny to me.

    I've resisted checking out Balatro until now but this will push me over the edge. I'm 50 hours into Xenoblade Chronicles DE and it'll be nice to have something different to jump into as needed while I do all of this physical therapy.

    Agreed, I could see AI being useful for when they find random bugs, which delayed some 360 games when the program was at its height. Hard to imagine it could be a worthy substitute of a dedicated team. Heck, if AI could solve the problem, we'd have better N64 emulation in 2025. My bing app...

    A friend has an OLED Deck and I felt like after using it, I wouldn't be happy with the LCD model, but then I got the 512GB LCD model on a great deal. The pixel density of the screen is so nice that even the LCD panel feels premium, whereas the Switch LCD vs OLED is night and day.

    C'mon man, you've gotta provision your environment! It's been a feature with insecure tough guys forever and it seems like a vocal minority is taking up more space lately. And they call me the snowflake ❄️ I've said it before but the unironic use of 'woke' to critique anything is just a...

    I absolutely love my G Cloud and it's the reason I've actually finished a lot of games on Xbox and PlayStation. The problem is it doesn't just work out of the box the way the PS Portal does and a lot of people who bought it didn't actually know how to use it properly. Plus the retail price was...

    It'll be a long time before anything is as bad as Rise of Skywalker. I'd rather watch The Last Jedi once a week for the rest of my life than ever see Rise of Skywalker again. I played on PS5 but just finished The Lost Crown recently. Big learning curve with the combat and the map is so...

    Steam Deck with a dock is basically this. You can go into desktop mode and have a basic Linux desktop setup and install applications that are not officially available on the steam store. With the dock you can also use it as a regular gaming PC with a keyboard and mouse. For games that are Deck...

    The only problem with VS for daily achievements is it's so addicting that you'll burn through them very quickly. I've completed the base set three times now (Xbox, PS4, PS5). Of course, I'm still dealing with health stuff and have more downtime than usual.

    It technically came out at the end of 2023 (in the US anyway) but mine is Talk to Me. Australian horror movie that feels like like a spiritual successor to It Follows.

    I usually have it streaming on a tablet or laptop on mute while I play something or watch a movie. And even then it feels too long and boring. Especially when they own it, and it's been delivering games that look and play great for years. Obviously the studio has a lot to do with that as well...
