  • Congrats to our latest Sportsbook winners - GOLD MEDAL kihei, SILVER MEDAL fish7 and BRONZE MEDAL Sammy Kat - new tournament begins today 6/15
and the terrible thing with Nintendo is their first party sales are so infrequent and meager. In 3 years you'll get 30% off that price, maybe.
I have been wanting to go digital and decided this generation I would and it’s frustrating when retailers like Amazon and Walmart have deals on first party physical games. The eshop hasn’t had any deals on first parties it seems so far since switch 2 launched.
 
Yeah I got to take advantage of this more.

Libraries are so underutilized. Kids got a couple of games today, I got a cassette-to-mp3 converter, and I have access to things like Kanopy and Hoopla where I can stream movies, get digital/audio books, etc. One of the libraries has started putting the purchase price of each item you take out on your receipt, which I find hilarious. You Have Saved $X today!
 
Really lame Direct tbh. Pokopia DLC costing half the price of an already expensive game and Ocarina of Time remake were the only things of interest, IMO.

I remember like five years ago when I went to sign up at my new library the person signing me up started rambling about some Libby app and how they had tons of audiobooks and ebooks for loan blah blah blah. I just went along with it at the time thinking I'd never use any of that stuff but I use them constantly now. I almost never need to actually purchase books, ebooks or audiobooks. I can't believe how underutilized libraries are especially with how the economy is right now. They're possibly the single easiest way to save money that's available to most people.
 
Man seeing clips of the upgraded Xenoblade Chronicles has me itching for a replay of the series before the new game comes out. I didn't realize they added time trial racing stuff with these new vehicles, the added content to all 3 games seems pretty meaty to go along with the 60 fps. Chronicles 2 on the Switch was a tech disaster, seeing that running (relatively) smoothly would be a joy. There aren't enough hours in a day to play the games I'd like to damnit.

I've been in Chapter 5 of 2 for awhile, I think I'll wait for this upgrade that comes out late July before continuing on. So far, the game overall is good but not as good as 1

Yeah makes sense to wait at this point. I think the story of 2 really picks up in the second half, the second half of that plus the Torna expansion is my favourite story section of the series overall. You've made it through chapter 4 which is often considered the low point of the entire series, it's all up from there.
 
This may have been previous knowledge that people already knew.
Just now catching that the Duskbloods game is going to pretty much be the Switch 2 version of Nightreign? Is this accurate?
 
I'm hearing good things about the Starfox demo. Might finally download that today and give it a try.


To add, yeah I liked it. I like how it handles. The voice acting and cut scenes are good as well.
