I’ve never owned an Xbox and I’m actually really excited about the Series S. I’m not a big stickler for graphics and it seems like a great and pretty cheap way to get access to two huge libraries (360, One) as well as another in the future (X). Definitely going to strongly consider it as the first next gen console I…

Hahaha, hey if you’re spending time with something you like doing then it’s worth it inherently, imo.

Mike, this is a great review. Well done!

I think tracking like you’re doing is really cool. I would, but I think the amount of time I see in the data would make me upset more than anything else, haha.

This is legitimately the most somebody has ever sold me on a PS5

The only thing I didn’t like about the 3DS was that by the end of its life I had spent like 10 hours just poking around the stats, haha. Great feature.

Buddy did you play Breath of the Wild

I remember bragging to my friends that MY iPod Touch was 16gb when they were all 8gb peons. Interesting time.

This is by design

Love the high-energy clouds. Those arcing clouds in the image with the mountains and ship remind me of the ones present at the very beginning of Journey. Bet Fatima could make a fantastic skybox.

I did some sniffing around on YT and people in the comments seemed to think it was an option you can adjust.

Wasn’t this the original ambition for Crackdown 3?

I’ll have to check this out when/if it hits consoles. Love the voxel look it’s got going.

Actually surprised how many are liberal. Still not exactly allies, but could be worse.

Wow, never heard of it but like the tunes and the gameplay vibe. Maybe I’ll check it out someday.

The weirdly huge donations are why I stopped watching some stream recaps on Youtube. Donating tons of money to somebody you don’t know so that you get a reaction is wack, especially in most cases when that person is already financially healthy.

Ah I didn’t know that - haven’t played the demo. In my head I was thinking of the cutscenes where Link is defending her from enemy onslaughts. I guess you can say “oh that was before x happened” so it works. Anyways, not a huge deal, thanks for the correction/additional info.

They definitely shouldn’t have made her a fighter if they wanted to be true to the BOTW memory cutscenes. Oh well.

I don’t want the presence of time travel in Age of Calamity to cheapen the sacrifice the Champions made in Breath of the Wild. I don’t want a happy ending to their tale, I want a satisfying one. Satisfying, in this case, means experiencing the heroism of their final moments without the deus ex machina of time travel…

Aw, just beat this and most of the DLC this year. Maybe I’ll dive back in and see if there’s anything left to wrap up. Really good game.
