It’s not too late to edit your post and welcome answers from women, while specifying which topics you don’t want included.

You may be surprised to learn that women can have interests besides house fix up and makeup. Men can also be interested in those channels. Why not specify that you don’t want those types of recommendations, rather than ignoring answers from women entirely?

Tails of Iron. I’m having a blast with it. The voice actor that did Geralt’s voice as the narrator is a lot of fun. Combat feels good. Only complaints are the side quests (optional) can be a little repetitive, but worth it if you want new gear. And the jumping/ledge-grabbing mechanic feels a bit imprecise. Overall a fun game so far.

So this is what I’ve been doing, but I always end up spending hours configuring the emulators, the shaders, everything… and then not playing that much! That’s why I was talking about the “plug and play” nature of game consoles (even though it’s less true now that you have to create an account and stuff like that).
Simple solution: don’t do that. Are you trying to game with your family, or force them to watch you tinker? I’ve encountered ONE game where I had to adjust a setting in the emulator to make it playable. And occasionally adjust input mapping when it gets wonky or doesn’t handle the way I want, usually N64 emulation because of those pesky C buttons. Never had a problem with Steam games using an Xbox controller or third party controller (8BitDo Ultimate 2C with hall effect sticks and triggers, $30). They are plug and play.
As for PC games, I never have the proper hardware to play in good conditions.
Well, not yet you haven’t. But you’re prepared to drop $700 on a Switch 2? And $100 per game? You can get a laptop or pre-built PC for the same or less that’s capable of playing most games. Some newer games with intense graphics will have high demands for specs, you might have to turn down graphics quality for those, but there are thousands of games that can run on a bare minimum consumer-grade computer.
Again, the “plug and play” nature of game consoles is appealing. A game you buy for a given console is working fine out of the box.
Every one of my Steam games is working fine out of the box. You said you like to tinker, but you also don’t want to tinker. Wouldn’t you prefer to have the option? Besides that, PC gaming is virtually plug and play. Install Steam. Plug in a controller. Plug HDMI into the TV. Same number of steps to connect the Switch 2 to a TV.
I really think you should do more research on PC gaming before writing it off, and especially before giving Nintendo more money.

You vote with your wallet. Look at all the cons you listed and think if you really want to support that. Do you want to tell Nintendo that this is ok, and you’ll pay the high price for it?
Have you looked at a Steam deck, or any other alternative like a regular laptop? You can run way more games, including emulating Nintendo games.
- Comment on If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently? 1 week ago:
Cancelling Spotify will not only save you money, it will help to save music. They’re shafting smaller artists, paying peanuts to the rest, and flooding the platform with AI slop so they don’t have to pay as much to real artists. Fuck Spotify.
Bandcamp and Soundcloud are what I mainly use.

So many frog games with Kero Quest 64 too!
Lol yes. Already on my Wishlist!
Frogs are what peak 3D platformer performance looks like.

Nice taste, similar to mine. I just picked up Sapo 3D. Played Pseudoregalia recently and loved it.
I suggest you take a look at Cavern of Dreams and Frogun.
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun! 1 week ago:
Didn’t go too overboard since I have a lot of other unplayed games and money is tight. But I picked these up:
- Sapo 3D (3D Platformer)
- ATLYSS (Action RPG)
- Lunacid (Dungeon Crawler)
- Kaze and the Wild Masks (2D Platformer)
- Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy (3D Platformer)
- Anodyne (Action Adventure)

I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone mention Hollow Knight yet. I won’t claim it on my list since I haven’t finished it yet, but it seems to be popular.

Do you know how to do the lightning reversal?
I think so in theory. I acquired it, but haven’t found anyone using lightning yet. LB to parry/absorb, RB to unleash it?
Have not made it past Genichiro phase 1 yet so I went elsewhere looking for powerups. I beat Juzou first try, but the long arm centipede man took hours, a lot like every other boss and mini boss lol.

Started my first playthrough of Sekiro and it’s really hard. I’m slowly embracing the playstyle, but I have so many habits to break from the other Souls games. I like it, but I don’t think I’ll be up for NG+ if I ever finish the NG run.
Also started playing Sable and I really like it so far. It kind of feels like an open world Zelda type of game without combat. It’s quite relaxing, and the art style is absolutely beautiful.

There was another game that came out the same year (2017) called A Hat in Time. I recommend checking that out if you’re even lukewarm on 3D platformers.

What is this weird feeling that I’m feeling?
Appreciation, maybe? There were books before the internet, but I think it’s no contest that the internet is the best resource for information that has ever existed. Pre-internet people didn’t have FOMO because they didn’t know what was coming.
FWIW I don’t think it’s weird at all to feel that way. I grew up when the internet became accessible to everyone, and I would not want to go back to before then despite the new problems it poses.

There were some good times in it for sure. If I was a kid and experienced it like SM64 and Banjo Kazooie I’m sure I’d rate it higher than 6/10 and have less complaints. Overall it just feels tedious in comparison to those classics despite having a really cool moveset. Like I mentioned, I’d rather they made a new game than remake this, I’ll still play new games they put out.

I appreciate that they wanted to make it better, but honestly I don’t think most of the enhancements are what was “wrong” with the game (a map is very welcome, though). And they added *another *currency?
I wanted to like the original more than I did, and I’m ok with it staying in my memory as a 6/10. Probably won’t buy the full version, but might try the demo just to see. Would have rather seen a new game from them instead.

Remnant 2. I have no idea what’s going on, but I’m having a good time. The systems are pretty complex and unexplained so I just equip things that seem cool. So far so good! Thanks to other players joining my game I’ve been able to solve the puzzles, which honestly I would have had to lookup solutions for if I were only playing solo.

I just revisited their discography yesterday. They’re not usually my favourite type of music, but they have something special going on. Nothing else hits the spot when I’m in a BOC mood which happens pretty often. The pitched vocal sample in Music is Math that goes “eeeeee-onnnnngh” just appears in my head randomly all the time, and same with the one that says “the past inside the present”. They’re masterful with their use of samples.
I recently came across this video of ixi listening to Geogaddi for the first time and breaking it down. It was a pleasure to see someone’s first reaction and with such a depth of music knowledge. Worth a watch imo - youtu.be/rQTPgDT1L14
