I have it and I like it. It’s the switch 1 but with the hardware of the steam deck.

Switch 1 accessories work with switch2, even all of the controllers. Games work better on the new console as well.

The 2.5 hours battery life are more like 2 hours if playing Mario kart with 120fps and high brightness. Games like Deltarune get ~4.5 hours.


With videos, yes, but not with shorts. It’s like TikTok where you swipe, but you have like and dislike buttons as well. I dislike all AI slob, Nile, nearly all of that shitty promoted stuff, but still get these.

Same with Spotify, my weekly mix rarely contains more than 1 song I actually listen to (metal, punk, hardstyle, hardcore) yet it gives me hardbass and this kind of genre where all you hear is distorted over-amplified bass every third of a second and that’s it… I dislike like a tinderella


I’ve been downvoting all of this trash for 3 months now. I still get this trash. It has nothing to do with algorithm anymore. This is Homogenisierung



Oh yeah, you need to specifically turn it on. Before you do that it won’t do anything. And you have to agree to the terms after you read them


Xbox360 Minecraft is on Java version 1.13.2 isn’t it? That’s the version where they added underwater temples and those fish mini bosses. Must’ve been around 2019, that’s shortly before i stopped playing after I started in 2011.


Finally, EA Games open worlds will have something interesting for the first 3 days


Still rocking with a 970. I don’t play enough games that it would matter, and medium/high settings still run 1080p/60fps most of the time since only predatory AAA games use that high of graphics.

They could just market it as “with Art by Antireal” and give him the commission and fame he deserves…



Another comment because now I’ve read the whole article.

As a gamer myself, and a hardcore one that is, I’ve played way too many MMOs and such where you can create your own avatar.

There once was a male character, we were in the same guild. In voice chat, one asked “dude are you a girl? Your voice is so high” and a simple "no“ was enough.

Most just don’t care.


Gaming is huge. According to Forbes business magazine, the sector’s global revenue is more than the music and movie industries combined.

I hate that language. Appealing to CEOs and soulless money hungry dragons


I once watched a YouTuber reacting to his own video. The original video was 20 minutes long, the reaction 110 minutes

That image gave me overstimulation.

GF has ADD due to depression meds and I started sitting on the balcony just to get some quiet

Edit: it’s splatoon 3




Im thinking of selling the switch 2 I pre-ordered directly from Nintendo… might get more than a grand


Based on the system hardware it’s not worth it IMO. Too many limitations with that 1GB of RAM. People with less money who just want to play games and rom hacks would still have a blast though.


I am very happy to be living in Austria. We have this law right here https://www.ris.bka.gv.at/NormDokument.wxe?Abfrage=Bundesnormen&Gesetzesnummer=10002462&Artikel=&Paragraf=6&Anlage=&Uebergangsrecht= (And yes, our laws are available for free and up-to-date for everyone)

Section 6(1)(14) of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act states that any contractual provision requiring a consumer to waive their right to assert claims is invalid.


I can’t sign it more than once ☹️☹️☹️



I liked it. I played all of KH last year from August until December, I played them for my first time ever, in release order on the original consoles, even watched walkthroughs of the phone games on YouTube.

This one was interesting. While it’s important to understand the story from 1 to 2, the graphics for the GBA were amazing. This game even has FMVs. Gameplay wise it‘s a strategic but hectic card game. Is the remake better? Maybe, I’ll play them all again once KH4 has a release date on PS5.

Story wise it’s the first game, but different. I liked it.



I missed him in the Minecraft movie. Or at least someone saying “top-notch”



Totally! I think $15 is fine though


Well there’s lot of shovelware girly games out there. Your best bet would be cozy games https://cozygamereviews.com/cozy-games-on-steam/ maybe try a dating sim or two? The KFC Dating sim https://store.steampowered.com/app/1121910/I_Love_You_Colonel_Sanders_A_Finger_Lickin_Good_Dating_Simulator/ is free and one my absolute favorites. Granted, it’s stupid, it’s cheesy, it’s anime, it’s taking itself a little bit too serious, but I like it. One of my friends recently loved house flipper 2 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1190970/House_Flipper_2/ a game where you clean houses, sell them, later even get to design your own houses. Also one of my new favorite cozy feel good games is little kitty big city https://store.steampowered.com/app/1177980/Little_Kitty_Big_City/ I just love the writing and the atmosphere of this game! Oh, and the Style-Boutique game series on the Nintendo 3 DS! If you know a tech savvy person who can Mod a 2DS or 3DS you can get the console for cheap and put the game on there from the internet. My wife and one of my coworkers loved these games!

[I totally want to start a thread about how Red Dead Redemption (GTA but it’s the wild wild west-era with cowboys) has the best horse riding experience in any game until now and how a horse riding game with the mechanics would be amazing, but I’ll just plant this seed here and hope for some game-dev to see it.]


Wait this game has a story now? I remember when it came out and it was just survival in the snow. Barely stayed alive for 3 days. It was amazing(ly hard).



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.



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!
