I’d argue it is financially sensible if you want one. Current price may be the lowest it’s ever been, with increasing prices for RAM and storage. There’s only so much stock they have bought previously.

It’s not that expensive. It’s similar in price to PS5 before it got a price increase, and trades raw performance for portability.

The real expensive part is new price point for first party games and prices of SD Express cards.

I’m so tired of the whole discourse. Why is Nintendo “evil” while Sony and Microsoft have been doing the same stuff, and for longer? Don’t even argue, I don’t care anymore. I’m just tired.
I like Switch 2 and I will play games on it. It’s a lot cheaper than upgrading my PC. I don’t play online, and eshop has better prices than Steam in my country. Don’t yuck my yum, and I won’t yuck yours.

Never heard of the guy before

Lucky you. Randy has a long history of being an insufferable asshole

points the gun Always have been

Not only government. I can’t see my daughter’s insulin pump status if I don’t disable developer mode.

Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once!

For me it’s mostly games from bundles I bought years ago, I wanted that one game, but got 3 others, a sweet deal, but they sit there and accumulate. There are also games I played, but stopped. I consider those still in the backlog because I haven’t finished them

My gripe is no other app than Sync allows me to easily change instance to see posts only from that instance. At least it used to, the button stopped working for me a while ago

This is exactly why I stopped playing CK3. It was fine at release, a bit wonky coming from 2 but with DLCs releasing and me not buying them, it just started to become a hot mess

Just uhhh… Build a wall, I guess?

So far I’ve yet to encounter the separation between save and game data issue. It’s permissions that drive me up the wall. I’ve tried giving everyone write access, I’ve tried creating a group specifically for games. But no, proton/wine prefixes require ownership and not just access, and will not yield, and Steam won’t even show what’s the issue unless you run it from terminal.

This. It also made me genuinely hate how Steam on Linux handles library sharing on a multi user system.

I’m in the same boat, haven’t really found anything good to upgrade to that doesn’t cost me a kidney.

It has electrolytes!

Hah, this one was actually dubbed

Honestly the door hinge is the first one that comes to mind because of a stupid cartoon I watched as a kid, that tried to remake this rhyme in Polish.

It doesn’t really need it, you can just buy and play it, and it got a graphics update a while ago, so to me at least it looks as good as it looked back in 2005 when I first booted it up

When we’re talking game journalism, most of them aren’t even journalists, just 3rd party PR for publishers. Only thing they do is just forward marketing blurbs they receive, rather than journalism.
