Nah, Edison actually invented things, even if he was a shitty person.
Expedition 33’s Composer Breaks Down
Oh no!
the Soundtrack
Oh, okay.
I dislike roguelikes and soulslikes. It feels like that cuts out the vast majority of indie games being made nowadays.
The loss of Reggie and Iwata are sorely felt. Nintendo is just run by generic corporate suits now, and it really shows.
It didn’t come with one, no, but plenty are available and I use mine just like a Switch with no problems. From plenty of experience having to fiddle with running laptops on bigger screens, it shows when a device was made with seamless screen switching in mind. I don’t have experience with the other popular PC handhelds - are they as easy to swap between big screens and portable as the Switch or Steam Deck? My assumption is that they all have that in mind, but maybe they don’t.
I wouldn’t consider the GPD Win in the same category because it was not designed to easily switch between being hooked up to a big screen or used portably. It’s a palmtop computer with a controller embedded in it, not a hybrid. Being able to hook it up to a screen is an afterthought.
Hard to say for sure without seeing a timeline where Nintendo didn’t make a hybrid console and seeing if the Steam Deck and other PC handhelds still happened the same way. I’d be surprised if the success of the Switch had absolutely nothing to do with the Steam Deck’s creation, however.
TACO, TACO Don (TACO Don)
No one wants to be
a TACO Don!
Much as I hate Nintendo now, their contribution to gaming can’t be denied. First they revived it from the crash in 1983, then they showed that there’s a market for a hybrid console/handheld device, paving the way for PC handhelds.
I don’t blame them.
Not a big fan of the new Dooms, although I did like 2016. Nothing beats the ol’ Doom II (via source ports).
“This is Abuse.”
That skit has only gotten more and more relevant with the rise (and fall) of the internet.
Since capitalism isn’t ending any time soon, I’ll have to be satisfied with leeching from it where possible.
You actually want most people to pay for this crap so stuff still gets made for us to pirate. Thanks, rubes!
This is one of the most American comments I’ve ever seen.
Here’s hoping!
