Don’t worry guys, we still have cloud saves as a backup oh wait

It’s inexcusable that Nintendo doesn’t have a way to backup saves.

Damn, I would have killed to have so many girls interested in mainstream gaming when I was in high school. All these boys are lacking vision: a shared interest is an unbeatable icebreaker. Dumbasses.

In case anyone wants an alternative, keep in mind that BASSTOP (the company making the often translucent Switch case replacement mods sometimes featured on Kotaku) also make versions for the left Joy-Con with d-pads. It’s obviously more work than what Hori’s offering, but it’s cheaper and you won’t lose any features.

Always will buy physical. I hate it when I have to buy a game that doesn’t physically exist.

They’re “clueless about risk assessment” but many are able to purchase an AR-15. That seems strange, doncha think?

1. They know a 19 year old with a history of mental illness and run-ins with the police was easily able to get an AR-15 thanks to the NRA and GOP.

Your friends seem pretty smart to get a console with a controller that is far superior for FPS’ than PS4's.

I’m very sad to admit that I will play this so I can find out what happened with Aaron Keener and that girl whose tracks you kept following until they met. I’m also hoping that Dr. Jessica whatever her last name is will send us to actually save her wife from those dangerous streets because, seriously, I don’t remember…

Because the Switch needs to be docked when it’s in TV mode which then reroutes the signal to the TV. It’s not like the Wii U which could display an image on both at once. It’s one of the few things which is actually a step back for the Switch.

Mental health and gun control? What are you, some kind of gay communist hippie liberal Muslim trying to steal our freedoms by imposing Sharia law?

Eh. There’s the possibility that violent entertainment (of any kind) could have a contributory effect on the mind of a person who is already dealing with difficulty distinguishing reality from fantasy—but overall, the idea that violent entertainment equates to violent action is absolutely ludicrous (seriously, if that…

I get why it doesn’t play well for people, but “awful” and “disaster” are both way too extreme for the level of this problem from where I’m standing. “Serviceable but predictably disappointing” is how I see it.

That satisfaction rate might—just might—have something to do with the fact that Final Fantasy XV’s core narrative stands out as one of the most poorly-executed, contrivance-laden, plot-holes-big-enough-to-drive-a-bus-through-riven experiences in the history of the franchise.

And that’s saying something.

I actually…

When I was a kid, we had this Garfield phone:

I feel like Nintendo get’s way more slack when it comes to criticism, when compared to the troubles Microsoft and Sony have had. I remember the uproar people had when Microsoft was going to make the Xbox online only, but no VOIP on Switch? Crickets.

That’s on the parents buying their wee ones Call of Duty, though, not the industry itself.

I really wanted to try beer when I was underage. Guess what my parents didn’t buy for me?

Beer.

I really wanted to see R-rated movies when I was young. My friends who had “cool” parents got to see them; I didn’t unless I snuck…

Eh. Somehow, I lived through the great social panics over rap (and Tipper Gore’s eventual push to implement those lovely “Parental Warning: Explicit Content” stickers on albums), Mortal Kombat (seriously, Congressional hearings over that shit), and DOOM without ever developing the desire to harm anyone.

...and I was a…

Strange... I am a Canadian and play violent video games and watch violent films so they’re definitely sold here and yet here in Canada we don’t have mass shootings every few months... hmmm... the same is true for the UK, France, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Germany, you know I could go on but I wont.

Also, maybe this is crazy but... trading cards might be gambling too?
