I’ve been excited for this game since the original trailer (I think it was a Nintendo direct). I have a few games to finish first, then I’ll get this.
- Comment on Maybe hot take: as a handheld, the regular switch is an awful handheld 2 weeks ago:
OK - I thought this was the case, but wasn’t sure. At any rate, a microSD card is a good purchase (but that’s true for all of these handhelds).

Should’ve named it The Holodeck!
- Comment on Maybe hot take: as a handheld, the regular switch is an awful handheld 2 weeks ago:
It’s definitely not as comfortable as something like the Steam Deck, but played so much Switch while commuting on the train since it came out. It’s been a real joy to have. It’s also WAY smaller than any of the current-gen handhelds.
What do you mean by “cart games being downloaded in full to the system?”
- Comment on Hades II - Sign Up for the HADES II Technical Test - Steam News 4 weeks ago:
I might be in the minority, but I generally prefer to wait and avoid early access, beta, etc. Whenever I participate, I get burned out before the final game releases, so I don’t get to enjoy the complete artistic vision.
- Comment on Open world games, need recommendations 5 weeks ago:
I played all of Horizon Zero Dawn on a Steam Deck, so it might work for you. You can get it for like $10 on key resell websites
- Comment on Roku’s New HDMI Tech Could Show Ads When You Pause Your Game 1 month ago:
That only works if you’re using something Linux + Jellyfin, though. Any set top box like a Fire Stick or Chromecast will sell your data too.
- Comment on Roku’s New HDMI Tech Could Show Ads When You Pause Your Game 1 month ago:
There was a really interesting interview on The Verge with the CEO of Telly. Basically, TVs are so cheap now because they make all of their profit selling your data. His pitch is “why pay for a TV and then also have your data mined. They should at least give you the TV for free.”
It’s frustrating because even if we buy a “premium” devices like an LG C3 or one of the nice Samsung TVs, they’re still going to spy on us. (PiHole FTW).
- Comment on Consumer first; Citizen second 2 months ago:
I can agree with this. Or pirating old games that aren’t available through GOG, Steam, etc. Like if I want to play Battletoads, I don’t have many options…
- Comment on Consumer first; Citizen second 2 months ago:
I feel like the “pirate everything” mindset focuses on shitty corporations but ignores that paying for media also helps the creators pay their rent.
- Comment on [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your deck? - December 2023 5 months ago:
Oh what a treat! Everything up through Halo: Reach defined my teenage years. My friends and I had a blast trying to collect all of the campaign skulls on Legendary difficulty.
- Comment on NYCC: Alex Kurtzman Gives ‘Section 31’ And ‘Academy’ Updates, Teases “Exciting” New Star Trek Projects 6 months ago:
Notably, Andor was NOT run by Dave Filoni. I worry that having Alex Kurtzman as the “Star Trek Czar” is going to backfire. He’ll get overextended and he’ll want all of his projects to interact (please for the love of god please keep series comprehensible as a standalone). You see it happening now with all of the mediocre Star Wars content.
- Comment on NYCC Starfleet Academy confirmation 6 months ago:
I wouldn’t say SNW is light. It’s a little campy, but I think it’s close to the spirit of TOS. They deal with some really heavy issues, but also remember to add a little humor to cut the tension. The only episode I didn’t like was the musical one.

Yup. Never forget who’s really holding things up!
