I know it doesn’t matter, but after all I’ve read about Nintendo and the Switch 2 in the last year?

Fuck 'em. I’m going to get a Steam Deck or a Lenovo handheld, and I’ll just enjoy the Nintendo products I already have. I’m not spending a small fortune on a console that they can brick remotely, or force me to buy a $50 proprietary charger for, or a “virtual game cartridge”.

Fuck all of that bullshit.



What a bummer. Might get it second hand then instead.


I think I’m going to get the Dead Space remake (90% off currently), Granny: Escape Together (I like horror), and Escape the Mad Empire to start.

Might pick up more later in the sale, but this will keep me busy.

Remember you can get things refunded if you don’t end up liking a game.




Yeah, I had to put it down.

The gameplay was ultimately just too annoying to me, which is a bummer because the ideas and aesthetic were exceedingly cool.





This wasn’t part of Next Fest, but I devoured ‘Tainted Grail - Fall of Avalon’. Excellent demo.


I’m only in the second zone of the game but there’s a lot to see and do just in the starter dungeon and the game’s first zone. I’m really enjoying it so far.


Tainted Grail Fall of Avalon

Tried the demo and it hooked me. Great game so far.


Someone please remember to tell them that WE WANT FAST TRAVEL. The lack of it in the SW: Jedi games is so aggravating.






Mannequins scare the heck out of me.

I blame it on Herbie Hancock’s music video for the song Rock It. (Still one of the most unintentionally horrifying things I’ve ever seen.)

Also, if you like mannequin horror, the game The Devil In Me is a must-play.


Demons Souls is so damn good.

The Tower of Latria is still one of my favorite dungeons ever made.


Nintendo’s single-minded determination to enshittify makes me want to wait to get the next Switch, TBH.

I know it won’t matter, as their core fan base will happily endure the bullshit changes they’re considering for another Zelda or Mario Kart, but it would be nice if enough people decide not to buy that it actually persuades the company to be a little more reasonable.



Jedi Fallen Order has no fast travel and the map sucks, do you often end up lost or backtracking.

Divinity Original Sin is also one that doesn’t guide the player particularly well.


For the last 10 years I’ve only paid full price for one AAA game: Elden Ring. I’ve gotten something like 200 hours out of it. It may be the best value for a AAA game ever, in my book. (And I haven’t yet played the expansion.)

I’m happy to wait for sales on everything else, including the secondary market for Nintendo games, but after their recent fuckery in multiple arenas, I’m not keen buying anything they produce. (Not that it matters. Their stuff will sell regardless.)


Stoked to try this game, but I’m waiting a few months for a patch to the graphics issues.


I wish we could have gotten R6:Patriots.


How many of you got ripped off by the redhead, though?


I would suggest trying Caveblazers, as it’s similar, but it’s more barebones and (I think) significantly harder.


It’s wild how good the cheap games are these days. I’m 30 hours into playing Noita, have hundreds of hours in Vampire Survivor.

And I got about 15 hours into Dragon Age: Veilguard before it occurred to me I could crack open the Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition and actually have an enjoyable experience.



It’s not that it’s bad.

It just doesn’t feel like Dragon Age. It’s like Dragon Age if Disney made a DA game.


I gave it 10 hours and had to just conclude that, nope, this wasn’t for me. Instead, go get the Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition for 5 bucks with all the DLC’s. That game is a work of art and has one of the best expansions ever made.



I’ve had some fun Anti-Nazi movies playing while I work-from-home lately, like Inglourious Basterds and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.




There are always extra steps with piracy.

But it’s worth it.


It could happen, but if it does, it’ll be decades down the line. Gaben has surrounded himself with true believers on purpose, in part to prevent that scenario.


I have a reminder to check it on my Proton calendar every week, haha.


That’s literally the only reason I have Epic on my PC.

Free games every week.


I'm sharing this because it's fun, and can be a nice diversion from all the doomscrolling. There are lots of puzzles and random digital knick knacks. Enjoy!
