They added that a couple years back; they did just add the ability to find dupes with the same function now, so those of us with multiple drives can manage storage a lot easier.

Steam Deck is 400 bucks. Series S, Switch and Steam Deck are all affordable and have lots of great games. Affordable gaming (and computing) is still alive :woman_shrugging:

I still need to watch the whole thing, but the initial issue is that tariffs are hurting pc making companies that don’t have a massise software store to fund all their hardware.

Like Steam, Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft do. Is the title clickbaity? Yeah, but that’s just youtube in general.

Yeah… you need to watch the video. Tariffs will guarantee those prices wouldn’t stay the same once exclusion periods are over, for starters. There’s almost no hyperbole in this and it speaks to the wider, universal reality for American buyers/gamers: direct added cost to the consumer.

I highly recommend everyone watch this… especially if you’re someone who still, somehow, thinks tariffs are paid by the targeted country…

I gotta say that the game Mad Streets which was added to Game Pass is fun. It seems similar to Gang Beasts in how you move around and fight, but looks different. Perfect for me and my nephew tomorrow who’s visiting me.

Also saw that Human fall Flat has way more additional maps now, very cool. We’ll get on that too. Sadly it seems 2 will be Switch 2 and PC only for the time being. Damn it.

I can’t imagine Oblivion will move the needle too much in subs but I’ll happily be proved wrong.

Elder Scrolls 6 on the other hand…

No one game can do it, but it’s the mounting pile of games that make it so untenable and make people move from being a hardline steam only zealot

So Oblivion Remastered basically is two engines? Creation/Gamebryo with UE5? Could they potentially do the same for VI?

Because all the stuff I love, such as interacting with items, it’s all here, visuals are nice and something tells me if this is CE only, it won’t look as good as a UE5 game.

Starfield is a stunning game, visually. Creation Engine 2 (updated of course) is all they need.

Not to mention, it is still in first stage. They already made improvements, so you can expect the next ES to be visually stunning.

I’m glad I didn’t see much of the game before launch so everything I experienced for the first time on my own, and I was positively surprised when I realized it was basically an Indiana Jones immersive sim in many ways, looking forward to DLC.

So weird to see first party release removed, especially not license issue aka cars/music.

Hm, wonder where I heard this one before. That includes multiplatform talk.

Preordered Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart Bundle last night. Looking forward to it. After I transfer over my Switch 1 data on launch day, I will sell the old Switch to GameStop and use the money to buy Nintendo Online and Donkey Kong. Hopefully everyone got thier preorders in okay. I used Target.

Same. It was a bit of a shit show.

Had an order go through on Target, but then my bank sent a fraud check text, so the order got canceled. YES ITS ME, JUST LET ME SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!

Managed to get a second one through on Target and they cancelled it for exceeding the purchase limit…despite…you know…not actually purchasing one.

Meanwhile I had best buy and walmart windows open. Best buy never made it past the waiting in line part, but just before 1am my walmart one loaded and checked out with ease.

I generally refuse to shop at Walmart…but Ill give them credit, their pre-order process is smooth as hell.

I ordered a Switch 2 Pro Controller as well.

Will the Switch 1 accessories work on Switch 2?
