but sometimes I just want to hear a score out of 4, 5, 10, yes/no, whatever.

Probably forgetting SteamWorld Dig 2, there’s no way Totilo forgets about Metroid haha

I’ve played the Switch 90% handheld and maybe 10% docked. I put it in my backpack every day and take it to work or to a friend’s house or on vacation. Why do you think the Switch is selling out? Certainly not because people just leave it at home. The reason people like it in the first place is BECAUSE you can take it…

Agreed, I think focusing on the Switch and at least making a successor to the Switch that’s mostly similar to the Switch (Switch 2) would be a good thing. I could see the gaming landscape changing in like 10 years where a new cool idea could exist, but in ~5 years when it’s a good time to release a Switch successor?…

It’s a question I’m kinda grappling with. As someone who much prefers playing games on a handheld as opposed to on a couch in front of a TV, I could easily be happy with Nintendo if for the next like 10 years they just kept making Switches, like a Switch 2 or a Switch Pro or whatever and then a Switch 3: just keeping…

They do still have a little summary box with likes/dislikes that’s spoiler-free which IMO basically serves a similar purpose to “yes/no”

Yeah I’d love it if every game, when in handheld mode, would let you at least just navigate menus using the touch screen

From early reports of Golf Story, SDV is more addictive by far (which is not a slight on Golf Story)

Man that artwork is fucking gorgeous. This may be my first comic purchase in a while, congrats Evan!

I totally get it. I play WoW, and the amount of times people throw around the word “promise” is sure to drive the developers INSANE.

Partially it’s because games specifically are a medium where feedback IS taken into account in a material way, with bug fixes and patches and whatnot. Unlike a lot of other mediums, you theoretically could get a game, play it, encounter a bug, write a forum post about it or tweet about it or even directly tweet/email…

Got Stardew Valley on PC as part of a Humble Bundle but didn’t touch it, will gladly get this on Switch (and it’s so cheap too! Thank god for no Switch tax)

Apparently people on NeoGAF found language that says it supports a 60FPS mode and a 4k mode like the PS4 version which kinda hints at...not great PC support

It’s phrased a little antagonistically but it’s not untrue

...what? Where did I say anything about “most people who have a Mac run Windows?”

How’s the trackpad? While I do really like the design, I’d say one of the reasons I use the MBP is because MacOS and the trackpad work really well together; when I bootcamped Windows onto my MBP the trackpad support was pretty meh.

Way harder to get MacOS running on a non-Apple machine, and generally people run Windows on Apple hardware because a lot of software isn’t compatible with MacOS but is compatible with Windows

I’m a major outlier in that I liked MoS as a whole, but never really saw people talk about the score and the theme, which I loved (especially the amazing “What Are You Going To Do When You Are Not Saving The World?” despite the mouthful of a name). Wonder if it’s gonna come back in addition to the Williams theme.

Ugh, hate this sooooo much.

How much of an RPG is it in practice? Not super interested in golf but people keep saying it’s an RPG/golf hybrid and at $15 I’d definitely be down for a 16bit fun quirky RPG
