Same. I loved the Switch. My next gaming console will be the Steam Deck. Fuck Nintendo, it’s over.


But it lacks the main feature of a casino: taking people’s money.


It was fun in the 80s when we had no internet, video games were a niche, and crazy people could talk about all the new games, but that era is no more.


I buy consoles because i don’t want to setup, configure, fix, ant upgrade computers.


I’m an old gamer (almost 50) and I don’t have time to play every game out there. I know that I should play Symphony of the Night but haven’t had time to try it yet, but I will.

Hollow Knight is fun for me because it’s not complicated, it’s pretty, the music is nice (I bought it on Bandcamp), and it’s a slow game with a lot of levels and a quiet and/or peaceful lore. I haven’t played it for a long time (any kind of game actually because I’m busy) but I know that when I try it again, it will be there as usual, and I will be able to explore old or new levels whether I have 10 minutes or 2 hours to play.

I don’t know if it’s a good metroidvania and I don’t think I care. I would put it on the same level as Shantae: there is no rush, have fun. You may say that it’s good for old people and I would agree. There are slow metroidvanias (Hollow Knight, Shantae, Guacamele 1/2) and fast metroidvania (Shovel Knight maybe) where you have to play regularly or you may forget what the thing is all about. With Hollow Knight, the story will stay in my head for a long time.

Last but not least, I would put Metroid (and the 2D variants: SNES, GBA) in the slow category since you can stop playing for some time and get back to the story without too much hassle. I guess it depends whether you prefer the Metroid OR the Vania side of those games.


2025 after the Fourth Coming of Jesus, which should be the year 5837 for us.


It reminds me of the 80s Wonder Woman movie: visually perfect. And a grand total of 2 minutes of fights in the whole movie.


If that’s the limit of your knowledge, I can’t help you. Read more on the subject maybe.


You have no issue with a company trying to illegally prevent people doing something legal?

Is it only for emulation? Stopping emulation is the illegal part.
