This is FL Studio or something like that! And with all those substances it makes you raise the question: which came first? Rave music, or the drugs? Think about it: either there was some dude high AF on a computer, making some music and thinking “dayum this sounds dope” Or: some dude made some music and was like “man this sucks. Better take some drugs”


But why expensive? It’s 30$ more than the steam deck and has much more power


You‘re joking about it. I can hear the faint beeping of some LLM waiting to serve this to someone in power.



Sony: we‘ll make it a little more expensive for everyone else, so no one feels left out <3

Nintendo: t(°-°t)


Not to sound like a fanboy, I mean I am but that’s not why, but I get the Mario Kart price tag.

I’ve had a switch from day 1 and look in the e-shop charts about once a week, and Mario Kart was consistently in the top 20 most sold games of the past 2 weeks.

From a switch perspective, you paid $70 for MarioKart + $25 for the DLC and got a single game a lot of people played since April 2017. In that same time you got 8 Call of Duty games for $70 each ($560) - with the later CoDs charging you $30 for chores or “Battle Passes”. Or you could have paid 95 Fortnite Battle Passes (total ~$950) since the launch of MarioKart.

I forgot the point I wanted to make.


Imho the price is justified. By raw numbers it’s a beefier steam deck for + $30.

Oh, and you get a dock that increases its power.



Totally, my white Wii U one turned to SNES-Yellow overnight lol First the bottom half, just overnight, then two weeks later the top half.

Still going strong after 4500 hours of smashing


Definitely be getting it on cartridge then. Those new SD cards are expensive


You would certainly not be happy with my gaming setup. I have an apple Membrane keyboard because I’ve played way too long on old laptops and I got so used to them that I don’t like any others. Then I have a 10+ year old mouse that’s just perfect for my hands, I don’t get cramps.

And than I have a MacBook Air that is connected to the PC via Ethernet and steam link streams the game.


Don’t forget to upgrade the bow…

Don’t.

Forget.

The bow.


My girl almost never plays games. I bought her the ps5 with Hogwarts Legacy. She did like the atmosphere and such, but the story felt very rushed towards the end, the ending was unsatisfying, the world started off cool but got a choreful minefield afterwards.

I only played the tutorial.


Go-to #1 is definitely the r/piracy megathread. My personal #2 is a 2gb/s external SSD and a dedicated exe-downloading laptop.


Piracy is the first thing that comes to my mind when a game is georestriced or the performance is lowered due to copy protection stuff. I don’t even feel bad about it. The company wouldn’t have made any money from me whatsoever.


I liked it. It’s like every kid can finish the game, but there are things that are only doable by pros.

Kirby did this since like forever and it is perfect. No difficulty slide or damage sponges, just deeper understanding of mechanics.

I wish more games did this.



Same happened to me with Zelda: ToTK. I did everything I came across, collected a lot of things I found, did a lot of questing, got so good in combat I could defeat everything without getting hit, but then I was like “it’s time to stop now” and I defeated the final boss and put the game down. It was amazing.


Dude my GPU is so hard for Witcher 4 the fans started to hum “the bad touch” ever since the trailer ran!


Not one bit. Sackboy is a 2d platformer, AstroBot is 3d. It feels like a Super Mario Galaxy 3 - better than 2 in every way. If AstroBot would have a wall jump and triple jump it totally would be a super Mario Galaxy 3.


I just bought it used for $45. Started 5 hours ago, now time to sleep, then play again.

It is a better super Mario game. The difficulty is a bit higher I think, there’s some platforming where I thought like “ain’t no way some of my friends would get this first try”

I love it,


I’ve always known about kickstarter but never did something with it.

I only ever funded one thing this October; that thing was the GC Ultimate Controller.

I get regular updates, shipment will be around februaty.


I played it in the beginning. It felt like what you paid for: a free monster hunter wannabe game. Not bad if you expected nothing from it, pretty bad if you expected a full fleshed out monster hunter experience.


Literally the first thing I googled when I played Gwent was “gwent card game starter kit” lol


Pro tip:

A 50:50 mixture of Isopropyl Alcohol and destilled water burns extremely cold.

Soaking a wooden sword in it and lighting it would result in a wooden sword with fire enchantment. It would not burn the wood itself. You can even soak a cloak in it - it does not harm the cloak one bit!

Edit: this is for all those, who wanted a burning wooden sword in Minecraft. I know I wanted one.

Edit2: better explanation.


I got a vita last year from a friend (he played it like a week when it was new) and I just love it! The buttons feel extremely nice and it in itself feels extremely premium and responsive


It seems you don’t know, but we don’t talk about that



They could just release it today with added L/R 2+3 buttons and, even without a game card slot and only an SD slot, it would just fly off the shelves.


I‘ll tell you my boy. Back on the PS3, when Nuke Town Noob-Tubers were real - it was right after we lost the 25 kill streak nuke, which was an instant win - it was the last time I remember not being able to run on walls, have a jetpack. Back then you had to play to unlock new skins and weapons. That one level 37 dude running around with the low level weapon in gold? He was to fear. His K/D was about 12. but all changed when lootboxes appeared. We got colorful skins, not representing the sheer dedication and skill one had to have to unlock it, only showing the money the player spent in order to archieve it.


It reads like it would be a game similar to “A normal lost phone” and "another lost phone“ - two of the best phone puzzle games I‘ve played.

I might give Her Story a try


After 22 years and having finally played Kingdom Hearts, I can say that it feels like faster, less technical version of that.

In FF7 you just mash square (was it square?) against bosses and doge mid-attack, the ATB fills up while waiting and guarding, while in KH you have to wait for openings because the boss throws like 5 combos at you and gives you enough time to hit it with 4 hits and magic, which only fills up after being completely drained.

Edit: (Probably biased opinion because I finished all 13 Kingdom Hearts games for the first time over the past 8 weeks)


The problem is that most people are lazy. They don’t download an alternate App Store, because of security reasons, and, with all the “improvements to security” it’s getting harder to download one in the first place.


I support this.

My gaming PC is not suitable for Windows11. I don’t play much, but I do play.

I switch to Pop!_OS in June, did not like it that much but it got the job done.

I’ve been using SteamOS on this machine since mid September and honestly I don’t ever want to go back.


You can not win against Nintendo.

Kids don’t want it because of the games and adults don’t want it because there’s better alternatives.


Clickbait. Dude bought a $5 used game disc and couldn’t play it because the PS5 Pro doesn’t have a disc drive.


I’ve just read it quick.

This brings so many new things that this could have been a standalone game, but they decided to make it a DLC. Now everyone is upset that it’s an expensive DLC.

It’s like a $60 Mario Kart shipping with 16 race tracks and then they sell 16 new race tracks for $30 instead of releasing a new game on the same console with only the new courses.


So… like they said with the switch “this will not kill the 3DS”

And it did kill the 3DS


But… but… It deserves a full remake like the one FF7 got =( I want to really feel the opera


Sooo…. Just Like in the PSX Original at this point in the story?


It’s been about 8 years since I played this on PS4 for the first and only time so far. All I remember is a library, some paintings and that the atmosphere was pretty amazing. It’s not your typical survival horror experience where at one point you just Run&Gun your way through hordes of undeads. In the comments I read that you cannot rebind keys and other problems, this could be a no-go for some of you. Also, forced 16:9 aspect ratio is a thing.

Your personal Masterpieces
Hello Lemmings! I've recently finished the whole Xenosaga series and was impressed by it. Even more than by FF 16 (which was... cutscenes and a few good boss fights). This got me thinking: what else are old games that don't get enough recognition? I'm not talking about the Oceanhorns (which was boring tbh) or Hollow Knifhts, which everyone knows about. More like hidden gems you picked up "because" and liked it. In my case this was Blue Fire, a platformer that mixes Celeste's movement and 3D space. Other games I really enjoyed were Valiant Hearts (WWI point and click) Light Matter (3D puzzle game) Cloudbuilt (a fast mirrors edge) I'm more than happy to read some of your recommendations!
