So I went ahead and ordered this keychain because why not? This thing is heavy! It's half inch thick and mostly metal. Feels like it was removed from a real arcade machine. It's way too heavy to carry around with me so I have it on my desk at work. I really like it.

Beat The Last of Us Part II and I really enjoyed the story. Definitely an emotionally heavy game but I was completely invested in it all the way through. Despite having spoiled myself on the story when it first came out I still really felt the emotional back and forth I had towards the characters. Terrific performance by the actors portraying them.

Nope

George Burns had a dirty joke about that. Here is Carl Reiner recounting it on Conan:

1 minute 40 seconds in.

It's fantastic. Probably not quite appropriate for a six year old but she doesn't get the double entendres.

It is quite unique, so a bit hard to put in a genre box.

First the art style is amazing, and I love watching her play it just because ti si so entertaining visually. It is also legitimately funny.

Kind of like a point and click platformer but very relaxing. Problem solving that is twisted, but not arcane.

Shortish, about 3 hours, more if you go hunting achievements.

Absolutely is. And made by boys from the North too.

Link Spoke in Latest Game but then... Devs took it out because, "but it felt too wrong"

This could only ever have worked if all he ever said was 'Well excuuuuuse me princess'

Also acceptable: “Bitch, please!”

So the latest Switch 2 "leak" from Nash Weedle says that Switch 2 will have two different power modes in portable play.

A battery optimised mode and a performance mode. But only those two.

Given how most powerful handhelds bleed dry in like an hour, is this really a good choice?

I guess playing it plugged in will be good. Switch should have had an unchained performance mode. Because the screen is only 720p, they could have used the extra performance for increased resolution and better framerates.

Playing Switch 1 games handheld on Switch 2 will be great, if it uses the 1080p screen and DLSS.
