Ah space exploration/hunting x restaurant management game hybrid, second only to hell city-builder/management game x evil god game hybrid as my favourite genre of game
- Comment on What's a cancelled game you really miss? 1 day ago:
TimeSplitters 4. If they’d have stopped baiting us with teaser art and promises of someone new buying the bones of Free Radical every few years then it wouldn’t hurt so much.

I think you can do both of those with BotW too
- Comment on PS5 price to rise in Europe, Australia and New Zealand 3 days ago:
Gaming is becoming less and less accessible and more and more of a luxury.
Lots of people do their gaming on their phone or PC. And on the subject of phones, look at the top-spec models: they cost thousands, because some people have the disposable income to burn. There are still plenty of affordable options available if you don’t fixate on having the latest best everything.
- Comment on Nintendo confirms $90 price for full Breath of the Wild experience on Switch 2 3 days ago:
Interestingly I’d say the complete opposite: BotW was my fave and I feel I could replay it in quite a different style (e.g. trying to beat it without any dungeons, trying to 100% it), whereas the others are all very linear and my only option is to play it again in the same way.
(Obviously I don’t need to pay any additional money to do either though!)

Pretty soon you won’t be able to buy a Switch
A new one, but pretty soon the market will be flooded with second hand switches
- Comment on A retro gaming handheld console has been amazing for me and I want to recommend it 5 days ago:
I’ve not tried Winlator for a year or so, wasn’t really useable but looked like it had a lot of promise. Guessing if you’re successfully emulating Switch games then it’s pretty capable though?

ReactOS. Or TempleOS if you’re feeling holy.
- Comment on A retro gaming handheld console has been amazing for me and I want to recommend it 5 days ago:
I’ve seen these devices mentioned quite a bit on Lemmy but I’ve never looked into what they actually are. Is it basically just a small Android tablet with built-in controller? Does it run (x64) PC games or just (arm) Android games and emulators?
- Comment on Ex-PlayStation exec argues 'only the dog can hear' differences between consoles and gaming PCs: 'They're all quite similar' 6 days ago:
We’d get a pretty good game format OS—if the players could agree to come together—and then licence that out. Just like we do with Blu-ray, just like we do with the compact disk—and let people compete on content.
I know this is the most Lemmy comment it’s possible to make, but oh, if only there were an OS that already exists that you could run games on and that didn’t even need licencing out!

- Comment on Can't Afford A Nintendo Switch 2? Buy A Switch 1, Nintendo Says - Insider Gaming 1 week ago:
I’d love this comment to be a sticky post on every new thing announcement. Trouble with us humans is we like to really get into a thing that’s completely out of our control, and then we get very upset when it goes in a direction we don’t like. Being able to take a step back and say “ah well, guess that’s not for me anymore” is much better for your own mental health than getting angry at consumerism.

Why would you not choose the obviously superior Gromit mug?

Ah hell city-builder/management game x evil god game hybrid, my favourite genre of game
- Comment on Microsoft has created an AI-generated version of Quake 1 week ago:
Whatever happened to the hololens? I used an early one and it was genuinely an incredibly cool bit of kit. Could they just not think of a way to make money with it?

If it didn’t say it at the start I think I’d still have recognised this as an Edmund McMillan game pretty soon

Fair to not like that, I just assumed it was a deliberate part of the “this game is very hard” design

Apologies if I’m coming off too grumpy, I’ve just seen a hundred similar comments over the last 24 hours from people outraged that a company known for unfriendly practices in an industry full of other companies known for unfriendly business practices have continued doing the same unfriendly business practices that are already happening everywhere.

What about the first floor didn’t you like?
- Comment on First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80 2 weeks ago:
Fair point, but I still can’t imagine they’ll be double that price for long. The only GBP price I’ve seen for a Switch 2 game is the MKW bundle which is only £30 more than the console on its own.
- Comment on Nintendo GameCube is coming to Nintendo Switch's Online Membership 2 weeks ago:
Same as the current Switch online, Microsoft’s game pass, and whatever Sony offers then?
- Comment on First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80 2 weeks ago:
Aren’t consoles and their new game always ridiculously expensive on launch? I know Nintendo stuff often doesn’t drop in price that much but I’d be surprised if they stay this expensive for long. Plenty of other games to play in the meantime!

Exactly. How can a brand-new game be influential? What has it had time to influence?

I saw a Lemmy post about Super Metroid Redux being a great way to play Super Metroid nowadays, seems like it brings a lot of your desired bells and whistles
- Comment on Nintendo Announce Virtual Game Cards (Digital Game Sharing) 2 weeks ago:
Interesting, does that mean there is just one primary account and to be part of a family group with it you essentially can’t have your own account or purchases?
