Good to know about the latches! I’m on my second R joy-con and both have had the latches break. I’ve never dropped it they just seem to go out. 

Are there enough Souls-likes for a good “Ranked” list yet? I’ve gotten more and more into the subgenre but always have a need to propery prioritize my game time.

They’re already plenty fortified for stepping/sitting on. These things operate on a hinge sysyem though, and the question becomes how long can the hinges survive 5,000 people a day plopping down on them? It’s not worth the bad press to find out.

It’s still the best deal in gaming, but the games have been disappointing in recent months. Just Cause 4 is set to drop and they’re selling Just Cause 3? Hardly something to get excited over. Same thing to a lesser extent with Hitman. I’m going to stay monthly so I can continue to pause a month when the early unlocks…

Visually I’m wildly underwhelmed, but I readily admit I’ve been trying to figure out what all the fuss with Smash is about since the N64 days. I understand this feat is difficult to the point of being unheard of, I guess you just have to be into this particular blend of fighting game to truly appreciate it. Sorry to…

From my observation of the larger conversation around Far Cry 5, it seems like brand fatigue has set in big time. This probably won’t be the (obvious impending) disaster that Metal Gear Survive was, but I imagine Ubisoft is going to let the franchise rest for a while after this one.

Did Saves The World or whatever come out of beta yet? Never hear about that, maybe it’s lost in all the Battle Royale static that I largely avoid these days. Or is it a flop?

This is a disgusting, pandering overreaction and I’d expect nothing less from EA. 

He’s a running back not a linebacker lmao. 

They’re basically designed to be open-ended and never-ending. I mean sure, they theoretically have an ending, but no one ever gets there because once you unlock a jetpack grapnel booster jetski what more is there to go for?

I feel like this is an old thing that I like married to a thing that will make me less appalling to teenagers.

Depending on the quality of the instructions offered, you may be alright as a complete novice. Soldering is intimidating but it doesn’t take a genius by any stretch. If there’s a YouTube tutorial or something it would be virtually foolproof. 

I’m looking forward to Smash Bros. coming out so we can stop talking about it so much, besides the usual tournament play and DLC updates. These games never appealled to me in the slightest, but I’m still happy for the millions of people who will be in twitchy, bombastic nirvana come Friday. I got plenty (way too much) …

You’re a monster, but it’s not too late for you. 

That’s actually a pet peeve of mine: people that leave the factory protective plastic on things. I have a buddy that still has some around the frame of his TV which is particularly egregious. You’re literally staring at this every day! Have you no honor? Just remove the plastic people, it’s gonna be OK. 

I forgot this movie existed for around 25 years until Mystery Science Theater premiered a couple weeks ago with their send-up. Such a weird gem of a 90s family movie. 

So how would you score this game on a scale of 1-100, metacritic style?

As a longtime Elder Scrolls fan, it’s hard to overstate my apathy towards this. I can’t even fathom all the compromises they’ll have to make for this to work out across a wide array of cell phones. In a post-Diablo Immortal (announcement) world I just can’t get behind this.

I laugh out loud every time I see those. That was a disappointing game too! Seems as though the collector’s edition goes the way the game goes. Makes sense I guess.

Maybe they’ll work that in in a future patch once they realized the money is way too plentiful with nothing to buy, combined with a large contingency of players flush with cash that don’t care to hunt legendary animals.
