Glad to hear that, he scared me for a second lol!

Well that means one of two things, it’s either the result you wanted, whichever that is, or is basically saying "nice"because that means you got laid.

That pricing seems really good, you can get a refurbished 64 and a 1tb SSD for about the cost of a new 64gb. Seems almost too good to be true.

Indeed, good sir. When something is based, it is generally considered to be positive.

Crpgs are their own thing. They are computer RPGs that seek to emulate ttrpg systems and storytelling style, like Solasta, divinity, bladurs gate, and the pathfinder games from owlcat

Yeah that’s the thing, there’s no way for a perfect balance, just because of how many different styles of gameplay there are. What they have is good, I think.

I wouldn’t mind a beefier switch, the original always feels so fragile in my meaty mitts

Yeah, leak season is my favorite part of the cycle, because so many of them are just so outlandish it’s hilarious, plus the community is usually pretty chill about everything, even when the leak you supported/believed was debunked. Here’s hoping, I think it’ll either be September to May or June to November, with that new information. The death of E3 has opened up a lot of possibilities for announcements. It’s almost more exciting than when you knew where it would be revealed.

Hmm, wow, looks like you’re right, I thought that cycle was a lot longer. Perhaps because I end up so steepped in the rumor and leak community. Maybe then, maybe. The first time I heard the dev kit rumors was probably back in January ish? So let’s say they had them for a quarter before the rumor got out, though it could obviously be a lot longer.

That’s September 2022 to November 2024 to prepare launch titles, definitely not a bad timeline at all, especially if the architecture is similar to the switch.

I have heard that dev kits were going out, probably the most credible rumors I’ve heard so far, but unless it’s more like a switch 1.5, I don’t think we’re going to have a holiday 2024 release windows. Unless it’s announced during holiday 2023 I suppose, but I can’t see less than a year of marketing unless it’s more of a deluxe/pro version.

Yeah, they keep acknowledging that it’s a popular series, it got brought to Wii u and even is coming to the switch as one of the first GBA games, but they won’t do anything else with the series :(

Isaac from Golden Sun, which my avatar depicts if you have them enabled, lol, but good guesses.

Just add Isaac and it becomes better than ultimate for me, lol

Yeah, I’ve got it working on Android, but not very well. It crashes 100% of the time when a water battle starts (such as when surfing or fishing) maybe I’ll try futzing around some more and patch it up a little more, but I have other fan games to play on my phone.

Halls of torment is another good one in that genre though it’s in early access and still a little feature scarce

As someone with ADHD Pokemon fan games have been my thing, especially side loading them to my phone.

Pokemon Infinite Fusions has by far been the stand out, filled with endless “ooh, but what about this?!” Moments. It’s a new, fun twist on the classic Kanto story, and even features Johto as an absolutely massive post game. It’s the only one I have to play on my PC though.

Pokemon XenoVerse is great as well, unique designs, a compelling story and a surprisingly well balanced new type. This one works very well on phones except for Pokemon centers becoming T H E V O I D.

Pokemon insurgence has been the latest to join my collection. It’s far and away the most maturely themed Pokemon game I’ve played (though I’ve heard uranium is more mature) I’m not finished yet so I can’t comment on quality. In lieu of fakemon they opted to instead create a massive number of Delta species, a take on regional variants which have all been interesting at the very least. It’s the one that runs best natively on my phone, with only the occasional glitched text
