I think they might have finally beaten their Nintendo curse though: one console is a huge success, the next is a fair failure. The Switch 2 will be a winner, but there's no way it can be the same cultural phenomenon that the first was (I'd say)
Thank you for letting me know, from the next post I share I'll start including links to all the previous installments I've made, to make it easier for people to navigate to them. What a strange thing to not be able to find them, I'm sorry!
My thoughts on the Switch 2 are...contradictory. I like what they're doing, but it feels iterative. I love my Switch because it is so small and cute, but it makes sense that a bigger screen (and joy-cons for ergonomics?) is better for a gamer.
Worst is Nintendo doing Nintendo things and being a bit too predatory for my liking! From what I can see...it's better to get an OLED and get a chip installed (CFW is soooooo nice to customize everything!). At least until maybe some sales on hardware happen? IDK.
Please let me know what you think of Death Stranding! I love to hear people's thoughts. It can be so polarizing.
I really need to get into the habit of just linking all my previous ones at the end of each of these. I just worry it'll look 'messy' or something!
I guess its easier to just follow my username then filter by posts? Or...something. Thanks for asking though, that is a confidence boost to see it wanted!!!!!! <3
My friend makes RetroDECK! Isn't it lovely? Its crazy to me how the default emulation for the Steam Deck seems to just be EmuDeck. To me it is the far weaker of the two options.
Lazorne, I known you're around here somewhere plotting what's next for RetroDECK!
I hope your recovery from surgery goes well. I'll be thinking of you, those things can suck all the easy and spark from life, I'm so glad you've got your gaming to escape to!
And don't force Death Stranding if its not fun! Give it some time :)
KCD II is one of the few games I bought on Steam, because I just couldn't wait to play it. I then installed a ton of mods, and now I have it on GOG I just have to start it all again!
The irony is that I am a vegetarian who avoids hunting in games (RDR2 for example) but somehow Dave the Diver had me swimming around with a speargun like a mad girl.
...and it's the second time they've done this silly DLC which is limited (though, to be fair Godzilla wasn't a paid one)
Keep your eye on it, I'd say on steep-steep discount it's a fun game, but to me the opening of the game can't ever be matched. It tries to be too many things instead of being great at just one
I found Dave the Diver to be...well a mixed bag. It was so pretty and fun in the first few hours - I live for summer and I'm 100% a beachgirl but then they just threw everything in - hospitality management, farm-y bits, fetch quests. The one section I found super fun (diving) got to be the one I spent the least amount of time in. And then they make what time you do spend down there a scramble to get the bits you need most.
Still, it's a lovely game.
Between that and DREDGE (in my top 3 Steam Deck games ever) - because they're both aquatic - DREDGE gets all my votes.
And OMG CONTROL!!! I adore it. The brutalist architecture is sublime, and so is the atmosphere. It really does feel like a beautiful mix of David Lynch, Stephen King and X-Files. I love Remedy, they're a dev company who keeps on delivering in my eyes :)

And thank you, you're very kind to say!!!
