Guess that’s me too. I loved Fallout 3 and wasn’t really aware of a lot of hate for it.

The original Portal game does a good job of this. The first several puzzles are essentially tutorials that still manage to feel fun and interesting.

I wasn’t aware they tried to make it a live service game, but that’s also incredibly unsurprising. It explains so much.

Nice write up. I agree the build quality of the handheld itself feels good.

All the Switch 2 games I have (Breath Of The Wild Switch 2 edition, Welcome Tour, Mario Kart World) run super smooth in 4K60 mode, no complaints here.

I will say anecdotally I noticed the frame rate in MK World absolutely tanked once we went up from 2 players to 3 in local multiplayer. YMMV.

My Best Buy order says shipping tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

And someone just committed to it only 2 hours ago. That’s really strange.

Man that button remapping would have been nice a few months back when I was playing through the 64 Zelda games. I got used to it eventually but it was rough at the start!

Some of those co-op bonus levels are brutal too. I played through them with my kid last year and it was great.

Sadly the single player campaign has some bad glitches on the switch that can prevent progression if you get unlucky.

I’ve noticed it too, the people of Lemmy really despise Nintendo.

I went in with low expectations but managed to secure a preorder from Best Buy.

Agreed. The idea of throwing code up at the CI and expecting it to fix my mistakes seems like a bad habit to me.

This drives me nuts. All I want to do is post my little screenshots and modern technology has taken that bit of fun away. People who do this are essentially free advertising by word of mouth.

With the use of Snipping Tool — a utility exclusive to Microsoft Windows, users are free to screen grab content from all streaming platforms.

This has not been my experience at all. The only way I’ve managed to take screenshots of streaming shows on Windows lately has been to use Firefox with the Hardware Acceleration setting turned off.

Gross. But at this point not surprising. 😞

Kind of only tangentially related but if you bought FF7 Remake originally on PS4 there is a way to claim a free upgrade to the PS5 / Intergrade version. But it was so well hidden in the online store I had to watch a youtube video to figure out where to find it.

So gross. It shouldn’t be a surprise anymore, but it’s still depressing.

Ok the javascript paragraph made me laugh.

One of our early car purchases was an Audi A4. I don’t recall the exact model year but it would have been mid 2000s. That car was so dang cool at the time, but unfortunately it was also a nightmare. It was one problem after another and each incident was expensive.

I remember looking at the rows of PC game boxes at the store and being very curious about Myst. But for some reason I never asked my parents for it. I guess maybe since I didn’t really have any idea what it was, it just felt like something out of reach.

I love “artsy puzzle games” now, so I feel like that would have been a pretty cool experience for me way back then!

Yes, this! I rarely ask for permission on that sort of thing. I’ll just do it as part of my work and see if anyone calls me out on it.

I had to laugh when I saw the way she sprints.
