Nah, screw that if you have space. Yeah, you can run out off space, but keep things organized and throw out the oldest first. Some assholes will only honor a warranty with original packaging.

You may need to move, and original packaging usually protects better than random boxes.

You might want to gift something older, and original packaging helps.

Reselling with original packaging gets quicker responses and (sometimes) better prices, no matter how good the condition is.

If whatever it is becomes collectible/valuable, original packaging almost always increases price.

Keep that shit at least a year, if you have room at all, even if you have to open the box up and fold it flat.

Every piece of news on the Switch 2 made it sound less and less impressive.

I’m the opposite of you, I pretty much buy EVERY console and I’m skipping the Switch 2 for now.

  1. Price is too high.
  2. Game prices are too high.
  3. Cartridges aren’t games, they’re download keys.
  4. Demo that should have been included is a paid demo.
  5. Features are pay gated after 1 year (camera).

If you absolutely need to entertain the 7 year old, get a Switch OLED. It’s a better deal.

ReallyActuallyFrankenstein,

I’m in the same boat. The only reason I’m considering getting a Switch 2 now is because the first gen consoles always end up the easiest to hack.

#3 is entirely why I’m skipping the Switch 2, when I’ve previously had every Nintendo console since the SNES.

Will [FBC: Firebreak] have the staying power for the long-run?

Maybe not! But that’s (probably) okay! It’s not a live service. (It doesn’t have LAN either, which is a personal gripe of mine, but they don’t seem to intend for you to play this one for very long.) Most games don’t last very long in the public consciousness, no matter how good they are. I just played some Hypercharged: Unboxed with a friend of mine, because there haven’t been much of any deathmatch shooters in years, and it was just what the doctor ordered. It’s been so long since the FPS genre was about this that Perfect Dark (the person on Lemmy) might not even remember an era where shooters were often very similar to Perfect Dark (the video game), and that sucks.

Speaking of things that suck, I hope your health situation improves. Best of luck. We’ll be here when you get back.

Get the Switch OLED. The Switch 2 offers nothing for your family. You think they are going to care that Breath of the Wild is “only” 1080p?

For the cost of the Switch 2, you can get the OLED plus a library of games. If you haven’t already seen the OLED screen in person, it will blow you away. It makes the S2 screen look like a $200 Walmart TV from 2008

CmdrShepard49,

I have the OLED and have been mulling over getting the Switch 2 since games, to my knowledge, don’t appear to be developed for the Switch 1 any longer even though they’d probably work fine. It’s also weak as hell and regularly crashes when I try to play Minecraft with my kid, but I haven’t really bothered to look too hard at how much more performance you get out of the S2.

jumping_redditor,

isn’t recycling blue?

I keep the box in case I want to resell the thing. Makes it easier to transport by just packing it all back up the way it came.

Hell, I keep my Quest 3 in the box just to store it when not using it because it’s better than buying some extra stand for it and can fit in a drawer.

pinball_wizard, do games w What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes?

I haven’t seen the Lego games mentioned here. (Lego Indian Jones, Lego Batman, etc.)

They tend to be story driven, and have excellent amounts of play-testing, resulting in an enjoyable playthrough that I’ve always been able to finish.

(Except Lego Dimensions, which was developed separately, and not to the same play-testing standards.)

brygphilomena,

Lego games are great for just putting on and playing. So very little intro tutorials and learning. They just are fun.

I’m in the same boat where I don’t want anything that takes too long to get into. I don’t have the time to learn complex mechanics anymore.

Not on this carriage. This is called a hard sleeper, and it is the cheapest. There are soft sleeper carriages with doors

It’s fun! I believe full price is still 60$ but on discount it’s good fun with friends. I’ve suck a good amount of time into it

NotProLemmy,

fun with friends

Well, shit.

They kinda murdered the game for me when they made it so easy to switch servers during play and avoid ever fighting anyone…

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I do get that. I’m not big on the PvP personally, but it is part of the game so I’ll never shame anyone for liking it. Still, it sounds like there would be better ways to handle it then just switching servers
