[QUOTE="ShinyLatios, post: 9324140, member: 229394"] This wonderful feature is exactly the reason I don't think I can ever leave consoles behind. There's just a beauty in selecting a game, then playing it. No weird buts or ifs about it. It's exactly the reason why I don't care that people want to be able to modify their Switch themes to be more... purple or whatever. I'm not going to stare at my switch home screen for more than 3 seconds at a time, unless I'm going into settings. For my PS4, having some themes makes a lot more sense, because it loads so damned slow at times that I could probably use a bit more ways to spice things up. Nothing beats the Switch for me in that sense. I don't have to deal with day 1 updates most of the time, no install times, no nothing. It's just, select game - play. Personally, that's part of the reason why I want a PS5 as well. It seems they understand that game consoles can use a lot of features, but (from watching streams), this time they seem to understand that for some people, they just want to select a game and play. I find myself sitting on a lot of PS4 games now that I legitimately still haven't played, despite buying them, and I find myself very excited to play them... on PS5, where they'll definitely need that stupid install time still, but atleast you get an amazing quality for it. Still, I'm torn between the insane quality of the Xbox game pass system and my pre-existing PS4 to PS5 library on this one, not to mention the price hike on games deterring me from buying anything new. But I atleast know that despite having a decently powerful laptop, I kind of know I probably won't touch 10% of my steam library. Even if I upgrade to the biggest monster PC that I can afford, I still won't simply because it's a lot less of a set-and-forget thing (Especially as a guy who doesn't have a desk and can't really put a mouse anywhere, so prefers controller always). Nowadays, unless I'm streaming, I really prefer to just get into the game immediately, since I am (supposedly) an adult now and just don't have the time to commit to setting up an enjoyable experience.

Is funny to see people start a gofundme for silly shit like a new game system, and then see them get free money, then think, not so funny after all.
