To be fair PC gaming is a whole different monster to deal with because of the extortionate prices of new hardware and extreme consumerism.

I just want to play games and not be a target for all these companies :/

There has always been an inherent value to consoles but if that goes away then I can genuinely see them dying off. Personally I thinks the current gen is a huge disappointment anyway and this news just makes it even more ridiculous.

Most games that claim to be survival genre are actually just boring crafting games.

Fishing in Red Dead Redemption 2 is very relaxing.

As always thanks for the post.

I buy and play games from all the storefronts so it’s nice that you post a variety of stuff and not just default to Steam like everyone else seems to. I also don’t follow the news closely anymore so the variety of topics you give is perfect too.

Regarding the website idea; Lemmy needs high quality posts so please keep doing what your doing :)

Something like legally required to offer a no-DRM version on all storefronts would be interesting. I don’t care about physical media much anymore but I do want to own what I buy.

Nintendo aren’t the monster they are being played as.

I do think the price is too high for the console, games etc but they have always been slow to the party in many ways. That also means they create amazing stuff that the others cannot and have forged their own path. Don’t hate on them for that aspect.

From what I watched it is heavily biased against Nintendo and from someone who clearly isn’t the target audience.

My interest in Nintendo has been slowly slipping away since the early 00s and I wouldn’t even call myself a fan anymore but videos like these are worthless.

I watched for a couple minutes then stopped. It’s clear they had no intention or interest in the Switch 2 before all the outrage so why bother to watch the next 18 and 30 seconds…

For such a short lifespan the Dreamcast had an abundance of peripherals too which were underutilized. Some of them were ahead of its time but you have to admire the passion!

• Fighting controller
• Arcade stick
• Fishing controller
• Karaoke add-on
• Maracas
• Light gun
• Keyboard & mouse
• Dream Eye
• Microphone

No they’re aren’t competitors. I’d wager a significant portion (probably the majority even) of Switch users have never heard of the Steam Deck or even less so the other handhelds.

Steam Deck has it’s fans but like everything in life just because you love it doesn’t mean the majority of people have any clue about it.
