  • Gonna be giving away some codes for Switch 2 Welcome Tour since Nintendo refuses to do it themselves. Keep an eye on the various Switch 2 editorials through next week!
    So far had "preparing to ship" notifications for the Switch 2 bundle, Pro Controller, and Camera. Just waiting for Hitman and I think that's my lot!

    "Down the line" may in fact be Thursday if the footage floating around is anything to be believed. I would genuinely give them a 9/10 on Switch 2 if they look and play as well as the snippets suggest. Expect a write up next week!

    I don't know about a full re-review but I am planning a few editorials for enhanced games. BotW, TotK, Nobunaga's Ambition, and Pokemon are the big ones for me. Potentially the Rune Factory game that just launched too. Got the week after launch off so hoping to get a good bit done!

    Okay I have a crackpot theory

    What if the games ran so bad because they were developed for switch 2

    Then the chip shortage went on forever, Nintendo had to kick the can down the line, and the games had been built with beefier devkits - fixing everything and getting a stable frame rate was out of the question given the amount of time needed, and eventually they said F it and released it anyway

    I've heard that theory before, and we've also seem the rumours of the Switch 2 being heavily delayed. It wouldn't be that surprising.
    I'm kinda surprised phones still have a light for the camera flash. I can't think of the last time I actually used it for anything but being a torch.
    Didn't expect to see Margaret Thatcher rap battling in a musical, but sometimes life can surprise you in positive ways.

    I liked it. They did Anne Boleyn dirty :ha: but overall it was a blast.

    I think my next will be Hadestown... I've been enjoying just going for the £20 seats. Can't argue with the value.
    do people even want posts about fan projects and rom hacks nowadays. I swear 90% of responses are just people thinking they’re smart saying “dmca”.

    it is draining to read and kills my motivation to write about such genuinely cool things

    the whiny ones or the 10k iq dorks are always the negative ones. I've found if a post I wrote made at least 1 person happy and informed them of something they didn't know, it was worth it

    Just ignore those types of people, they're only there to cause arguments and I believe that the DMCA jokes are getting way too out of hand for the billionth time in a row. They cannot seem to get over the fact with what happens with Nintendo and most of their fanbase are young dorks with not that much self-awareness.

    Keep doing what you love best by writing these articles. You have inspired me to do my own user news write-ups, even had some of them on the front-page which I totally appreciate. We all want to learn something new that isn't unheard of and/or talked about often. I read your news frequently and I contribute by giving it a thumbs up because I care.
    I constantly forget how good game streaming is nowadays. Monster Hunter Wilds is far more stable on GeForce Now than my actual PC. Looks great at 1440p too.

    I’m locked in on one of Nvidia’s founders plans, so I really should be using the service more.

    Hot damn the new Inazuma Eleven looks fantastic. The price is kinda high but the content at least seems to be there to justify it.
    Finally got around to putting a Command Hook on my PC case to mount this.

    Need to get on top of having a calendar, but it's definitely one of the cooler things I have lying around.
    maaaaaaaan I really hope IO don't make the Switch 2 version of Hitman be always online. It's not really an issue on PC/stationary consoles since they just sit in a place with WiFi, but I wanna play on the train.

    Publisher never make sense.

    I was more referring to the portable nature of the system more than any of its specific features for what it's worth. Expecting an online connection on a console that sits in a living room is one thing, but for a system that can be used anywhere you'd at least hope there was some consideration.

    Oh shit I just looked at the news for it again and they actually might have taken it into account:

    You can play offline on other platforms but with progress relying on you being online to track it wouldn't be described as "seamless". Actually quite hyped up for that now.
    so how long until the Switch 2 gets Baldur’s Gate 3

    You mean the announcement or the actual release?
    In any case, November.
    Who is managing the bets?
    Any interest in semi-regular Pokemon ROM hack editorials?

    Got this thing setup with all the good ones I could think of, so I've got a list of 17 or so to be getting through.
    damn, for all the bad press it got, Assassin's Creed Shadows seems to have gotten good reviews

    Not an Assassin's Creed fan myself, but happy for those who do follow the series.

    I mean regardless of the amount of noise certain people make because the protagonists, the game was either gonna be good or bad lol

    So I'm happy it is good, or at least decent enough
