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 :)

Congrats for sticking with it.

It is a great game but shame there is no multiplayer.

Slime Rancher would probably be a good introduction to fps controls.

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.

It's stressful everyday but thankfully some less than others. I find myself feeling more and more nostalgic for my pre-tech/digital teen days.

I wasn't at all bothered before but this makes me want to watch it.

Not much time spent playing this week so just a few short sessions on Skate 3 when I have a spare 20 minutes. I normally just find some realistic spots and make some clips.

If only there was a simple solution to games being too expensive...

(don't buy it)

I agree with the overall negativity Nintendo has brought upon themselves but videos like this are, like you say, tiresome and disingenuous from the creator.

This video has been doing the rounds but if I remember correctly they are overly negative and are obviously not the target for Nintendo and have no intention of buying the Switch even before all the controversy.

I don't really use Goodreads much but BookWyrm looks good so I've just switched over.

PowerA Xbox controllers are wired, cheap and actually very nice to use.

1943 was pretty good. Brings back good memories of all the Xbox live arcade stuff on the 360.

I played a lot of 1942 on the NES as a kid but never 1943.

As for Battlefield I wouldn't bother anymore. The franchise peaked with BF3 and everything else since is just awful.

Apart from Eurogamer I basically get all of my information from random people on Lemmy and Mastodon who link to interesting stuff. I don't frequent any games sites anymore.

Edit: and podcasts but not specifically games related ones.

It's actually the only game I feel comfortable using comms in. I have social anxiety so it did take me a few months to get used to it but now it feels natural. I've rarely come across anything bad either in 2k hours which is nice and it's more social than competitive.

All the Apple original series I've watched have been excellent so far so here's to hoping for the best. The trailer was good enough in my opinion.

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.

Squad

I'd recommend it for anyone who played BF2/2142 and even BF3/BC2 back in the day. I really don't like modern shooters as they are quite frankly shit in comparison but Squad is something different. Be warned though that it has its issues but when you get a good round in with decent squad mates and teamwork it is top tier.
