But there was a point where DF John compared it to Xbox One X version, Doom Eternal and it looked awesome.


I can't quite imagine playing that on Switch 2 at 1080p in handheld mode. If it runs on XB1 it should look similar.


Although the one X was probably running it at better settings or something.


I also had a weird dream last night where me and Dvader were invited to a Nintendo showcase. Some weird hobo presenter came out, pulled used DVDS off the shelving and handed them out as gifts. But left all the saucy DVDS on the she

We must make this a reality, how do we get into switch 2 preview events.

Well, my new doctor, a nice vietnamese man, prescribed me two months worth of an epilepsy drug that the pharmacist put me thorugh 20 questions and lots of side eye before he gave it to me.

It's a drug they give people with epilepsy to stop convulsions with high pshychological and physical addiction risk. It's explicitly not reccomened for my condition in two research papers I've read and Pfizer was sued for hundreds of millions of dollars for illegally marketing it!.

What could possibly go wrong? :

Pretty sure half a bottle of tequila would have been a better sleep aid.

Paper 1:

"There is moderate- to high-quality evidence that anticonvulsants are ineffective for treatment of low back pain or lumbar radicular pain. There is high-quality evidence that gabapentinoids have a higher risk for adverse events."

Paper 2: (CLBP = Chronic lower back pain)


"Existing evidence on the use of gabapentinoids in CLBP is limited and demonstrates significant risk of adverse effects without any demonstrated benefit. Given the lack of efficacy, risks, and costs associated, the use of gabapentinoids for CLBP merits caution. "

Not sure what an epilepsy drug will do for back pain. Which drug?

surgery not an option?

So today I had the great pleasure of playing the game can you beat scalpers and get a graphics card! I lost of course. Apparently very low stock was released today so almost no one got them. I'm getting a 5080, I built my PC but kept my old 2080, waiting for the time to upgrade and now it's time... but finding one will be hell. But soon I will have 4k and ray tracing! My games will looks glorious! And probably stutter and soon be outdated and all the problems that come with PC gaming.

In the dream the venue was like some dirty abandoned shed, and the big 3 were all doing presentations.

Aren't those 5080 cards like a thousand dollars?

"Recent leaks have talked about Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Gears of War: Ultimate Edition -or a remastered collection of the franchise, on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. According to our sources, some of the closest releases are Killer Instinct and Starfield, which has been in development for at least PS5 since its launch on Xbox Series and PC -late 2023-.

There are more games in development, including Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 or Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, the latter which was found on online testing late last year; Tom Warren speculated with Age of Mythology: Retold and Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2. We have information about another game that has already started its port to PS5 and/or Switch 2: the new Fable by Playground Games, which may make possible its simultaneous release in all platforms"

Hmm, I'm starting to think that my obsessive need to kill every enemy and collect every single in retro games may be leading me to more deaths than I might have otherwise. 🤔

I’m kind of the same way. When playing Castlevania games I need to whip every candle even though I know it’s just a small heart and I’m already maxed out on hearts. LOL

What retro games are you playing, I am doing Timesplitters 2 for the first time now, its fun. And yes I must try to kill everyone.

Thats a term I have not heard in a long time, a long time.

And yeah GG its a thousand bucks, stupid money I know but I should be set for like 8 years or so. Even if I do upgrade at some point later these cards hold value so selling one for another doesn't cost nearly as much.

Mostly Ninja Gaiden, Contra, and Super C on NES. I've also been trying to get the good ending on Sonic 1; I was only one Chaos Emerald away on my playthrough last weekend. I'm playing them without save states, just like the olden days.

EA re-released The Sims 1 & 2. Nice! Easily the best ones in the series. I still own physical copies of both. They're not available on Gog?! Hrm

Funny, I saw VGPRESS under Google search results when looking for Switch 2 news.

Linking to stuff I'd posted about it. It's like the Truman Show.

Also, it appears Dragon Age has run its course, EA is gutting the team.

Do you guys have any thoughts on Ubisofts troubles recently?

It looks like they may be bought, or different studios may be spliced off for auction.

We’ve hit the big times baby! LOL

Tough times for BioWare. Really hoping the new Mass Effect game turns out great.

Pretty indifferent about Ubisoft. Don’t think Assassin’s Creed or FarCry games are bad or anything but they also aren’t really must play games for me either. Kind of feel that way with them overall really.

Why did the name change from "Insert Coin" occur?

I believe only a couple of us liked that name at the time, most didn't.

I'm back from hell in Doom for the second time after the crucible.

One thing that weird me out is the environments before hell and early hell made sense thematically.

Then hell becomes very, Square, with lots of square underground caverns. And so many power ups, health, ammo and body armour, hell now looks like it's scattered with candy.

Early hell made sense, rocky outcrops, some spikes, lots of skulls and skeletons. Then you're in these caverns and temple like structures and you start wondering, demons built this?

The same demons who run straight into walls, or the ones who have no limbs? Did they unionise in the past?

I'm guessing there's some deep lore to read into, but on the surface at least, the improbability of the world is quite vexing.

Ah, fond memories of being the 1 person in the world who received COD Black Ops on Wii early.

C&VG quoted me trashing it, word for word. "It looks like a PSP game"

I'm guessing this hurt Treyarch, hard.

Job listings show the new Perfect Dark is in development for Switch 2 and PS5.

The new Fable seems to be coming to both consoles too.

Meanwhile Nintendo have patented a predictive technology for finger tracking on a controller. It senses finger movements around buttons so it can tell what you're going to do. It could make controllers feel a lot more responsive.

Or it could let the game pre-empt your moves, cheating your ass.
