Happened with me in FFVII back in the day… Doing well, had to take a 2 week business trip, got back… “Wait, did I just GET to this town or was I LEAVING this town?” No clue what I was doing, I may have just started over…

Even in the days of memory cards you could back up saves to other memory cards…

Yeah, but you don’t give pirated goods as gifts. 😉

I still have the OG Advance Wars carts for my GBA.

I picked up Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot for my kid for Christmas. $60 still after coming out in 2023.

(* “My kid” - He’s 29, he should be buying his own games! LOL.)

The Switch 2 is the first console I’ve just outright skipped in… well… years now. I guess since the Wii U?

Just every piece of news about it as it was coming out made it sound less and less appealing…

$70 games (that never get discounted because Nintendo.)

Games aren’t “games”, they’re download keys.

Special SD cards that are more expensive.

Microphone support requires a subscription after 1 year.

Charging $10 for a hardware demo that should be included, like Desk Job on the Steam Deck.

And, like you say, the remote detonation option, which is burning legitimate players:

Generally with new hardware it’s “Hey, what’s not to like?”

With the Switch 2 it’s more “What is there to like?”

The mere presence of griefers eliminates this from PVE:

Until they come up with servers where PvP is prohibited, PvE isn’t worth discussing.

With current pricing, it’s going to be tough and that’s no joke.

Even the new Steam Machine is being predicted to be around $1,000.

The era of $600 gaming PCs is 1-3 years ago now.

(NGL - I still want a Steam Machine. :)

I’ve consistently refused to buy in to Game Pass. I still buy physical games where available. If it’s only digital, I’ll get the Steam version for my Steam Deck.

Yeah, weird how he skipped the universally acclaimed game of the year.

It’s not #1, it’s alphabetical. 😉

And more significantly, the Switch 2 is for kids. There’s no sizable youth market for the Steam Deck.

But out of all the handheld PCs, the Steam Deck is #1, so that should give you some idea about the sales on the others. 😉

I was looking at getting a Switch 2 MicroSD card for a gift and shit’s bonkers, yo.

I get they changed the standard for the Switch 2, but $300 for 1TB?

I say this as someone who loves their Steam Deck… Steam Deck sales are insignificant compared to consoles.

6 million in 3 years:

birchtree.me/…/steam-deck-sales-numbers-are-in-an…

The Switch 2 has sold over 10 million, June to September. 3 months. There has been another 3 months since then.

If the disc exists, yes, but I’m talking about going to a store on launch day and not being able to find the big new release.
