I also picked the cute cat when I first started the game blind and had no idea what it was gonna evolve into, that it’d go from kitty to wrestling star was not on my mind lol

Maybe unpopular opinion, but USUM is my favorite Pokemon game. The graphics were great and fitting, and it had a nice cozy feel with a banger OST.
Going from that to SwSh broke my heart. I literally just wanted a less pixelated USUM and instead they „evolved“ to that weird plastic/clay look like so many other Nintendo-close franchises…
I‘d say I‘m excited for an USUM remake in the future, but I don‘t think they‘d go with the vibrant and clean anime look anymore, and that‘d be over half my excitement gone.

100€ for a singular videogame sounds so crazy to me
- Comment on James Bond Game by IO-Interactive 2 weeks ago:
I loved their last three HITMAN games, easily in my top 10 favorite games ever (the actual story portion of it, not the liveservice), so yeah, I‘m very excited.
I also wished they would‘ve not gone the liveservice route with their last HITMAN title and kept making proper entries. Have there even been new maps since the story ended? Last time I checked all they did was throw out new targets with a shallow story on - at best modified - existing maps.
That being said, I‘m so ready and excited for actual new content from them. Exploring their maps has always been so fun for me.

I found that channel a couple weeks ago and without having much insight into the development side of games myself, I just thought their videos couldn‘t look more shady if they tried. Especially the plugging of their own company (?) and call for donations among other things left a bad taste. They should work on their presentation IMO.

Wholeheartedly agree with your take on CK3. Considering how greedy they are with their DLC policy, you‘d at least think they‘d be able to get proper multi-core optimizations into their engine so games don‘t grind to a halt lategame…
I did the Lingua Franca achievement in CK3 before mods etc. were allowed for it (essentially a world conquest challenge), and lategame was crazy slow while my CPU was snoozing.
Also it feels to me like the more DLCs they add the more forced/unpolished it gets, the features don’t fit in nicely, but that‘s just my personal opinion. Also lots of oversights in text when I last played.
It‘s a great game regardless which honestly should be pirated, or the base game bought and pirate the rest. The DLC policy is just batshit insane. Don‘t they even have a monthly DLC subscription for some games? Like fuck off lol

I hope at least the ninja part plays like an actual assassin instead of brawling with half a dozen guards
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, I get that, I was just trying to say that the above is probably their reasoning in my mind. They‘re scared shitless to fuck the transition up, calling it „The Stuff You Guys Loved 2.0“ is the lowest risk move.
I like your Super Switch though lol
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed 5 weeks ago:
They wanna be very clear that this is their best-selling console ever but better, I would‘ve been surprised if they didn‘t just slap a 2 on it. There‘s so much riding on this for them.

- Comment on Day 173 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 1 month ago:
The game has become more of a brawler‘s creed, I wish it was more about figuring out how to cleanly assassinate your target instead of leveling up to match the level of and fight a buncha goons…
I hope Shadows won‘t just be a bad Tsushima…

It‘s also crazy how they‘ve aged. Do top games nowadays look better? Yes. Do they look a decade better, though?

- Comment on Recettear HD Announced for 2025 1 month ago:
The original is such a hidden gem, my absolute favorite shop managing game. Its only downside was that the main story kinda was done too quickly. Less than ten hours IIRC.
This game really does deserve a proper (good) sequel.

i think i bought this game in summer for 15ish bucks and now they‘ve practically given it away on Steam last sale (3 bucks) and literally on Epic lol, absolutely fantastic game btw, great co-op fun

And I don‘t think games have to look that good either… I‘m currently playing MGSV and that game‘s 8 years old, runs at 60 fps on the Deck, and looks amazing. It feels like hundreds of millions are being burned on deminishing returns nowadays…

- Comment on What did everyone grab during the Steam Winter Sale? 1 month ago:
A bunch of EA games they‘re practically giving away considering the 90% discounts (Mass Effect etc.), and a bunch of indie puzzle games (Cats Organized Neatly etc.) as well as some steeply discounted Devolver Digital games (Hotline Miami 2 etc.).
I think I paid the price of one full price game (70 bucks nowadays) for like 20+ titles, but also yet again lost the battle of the ratio of games purchased vs games played this year… Damn you, Gaben!
Now I‘ll just wait for Monster Hunter Wilds which is easily my most anticipated game at the moment and probably the first triple-A game I‘ll be getting on launch since Elden Ring.

Heroic Launcher should enable anyone who‘s wondering how to install games from different launchers on their deck.
I‘ve only done it for the Ninja Turtles game and it didn‘t work right away - had to follow a protondb entry from a few weeks after my initial attempt to install dependencies - so be prepared to tinker; it‘s not as hassle-free as a direct Steam install.
- Comment on What games have you sunk the most time into? 1 month ago:
Rocket League over a thousand, then Crusader Kings III about 600, then CS 1.6 and Monster Hunter World with 400.
CS 1.6 must‘ve started logging those stats after my „prime“ though, I basically played nothing else way back when lol
- Comment on Day 157 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 1 month ago:
I loved the first one even though it‘s crazy punishing, I looked at the second one, saw a metric shit ton of dlc, and decided it‘s too big for me
Funny enough I also decided to skip straight to the third one, and let‘s say I wasn‘t too impressed, especially coming from the first game. Going from one cop lasering you down to a dozen cops doing a conga line around you taking a turn each to shoot a bullet at you is surreal. Completely different game.
