Nintendo is going in hard on them. I get that they want to protect their products and all.
But this is a company trying to make products that will benefit Switch 2 owners. And they weren't the first to put out leaks and images and mock ups of the Switch 2 either.
They played with expectations for a bit of PR and now Nintendo is trying to legally throttle them?
No. I don't have a desk at home. I use my OLED TV as my PC monitor. I place my wireless mouse on the armrest of my recliner and my wireless keyboard on my lap. Been doing this since 2014.
Keyboard on sofa? Can't you use a controller stick for movement and stuff?
Have you tried like a food lap tray for the mouse?
You can use a mouse on pretty much any surface. I use it on the flat arm of my couch, or my thigh (generally covered by fabric).
Unlike Hamster, when I play I use the controller whenever possible, practically never use mouse and keyboard, but it is still useful when using the gaming PC to watch streaming services, which since I go the Steamdeck is bascically what I use it for.
Well, on the other hand hand, it's not like Nintendo is shy about suing. They had to figure that things could play out like this.
It's is kind of puzzling. What did they think would happen by revealing the system before Nintendo? At best they'd lose whatever preferred vendor deal deal they had in place with Nintendo for a what? A very temporary pop in attention on social media? That was not well thought through.
Been continuing my way through Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 this weekend and absolutely loving it still. Unless things take a drastic turn for the worse this is a real consideration for my GotY.
I continued Oblivion and started Clair Obscur. I played very little to give an impression but did enjoy what I played. Unfortunately, my Game Pass will expire so I will not continue playing either of those games.
I started up Darkest Dungeon 2 this weekend. It's a pretty big change from the original. Much more roguelike than the original. Despite keeping the aesthetics the same, it's actually very different. It took a while before I understood what the hell I was doing, but after a couple hours I think I finally understand it. Most of it anyway. Seems like it'll be really good. Probably not quite as good as the original, but definitely a worthy enough follow-up.
Oh, and I moved on to Dungeon Crawler Carl book 3. Kind of surprised. I'm enjoying this as much as I am, but it's now officially how I fill my gaps of quiet time.
Finished Case of the Golden Idol as detailed inthe completed games thread. Downoaded the sequel but smal text on Steamdeck lead to a refund request.
Tried Obra Dinn again... still doesn;t click with me. So not sure which game to play next. Considered Clarie Obscura, but it's $70 AUD on Steam. Kinda bummed figured I'd play Obra Dinn and Rise of the Golden Idol and that would sort me out for a couple of weeks. Don;t really wnat to jump into a big game just yet.
Ugh. I'm changing internet providers to get a better deal and unlimited internet, but of course the plug and play installation is not working. I've been on the phone with customer support trice already to no avail. They were going to call me back to plan for a technician to come by, but no call up till now. I'm calling them again in 15 minutes.
Also, everyone I've spoken to sounded suspiciously Surinamese so I'm guessing customer support has been outsourced. I'm usually pissed even when I get to speak to someone in the Netherlands.
I really wanted to like Chibi Robo but I just couldn't get into it.
The first time I played it, I enjoyed it. The next time I played it, I just kept thinking to myself, "if I'm going to be doing housework shouldn't I be doing my own actual housework?"
I think it's one of those games that you have to be in the right frame of mind to play. It's possibly better when you're living by yourself and the only things you own are a futon and a TV.

That's horrible.
A friend had spotty connection for years, the only way he fixed it was by going fibre.

Yeah, thats a bit much.

They pre-produced thousands of units for launch, months in advance and expected it wouldn't leak?Well, on the other hand hand, it's not like Nintendo is shy about suing. They had to figure that things could play out like this.
Stsr Wars Outlaws is a confirmed game key card.
This weekend I mostly played Civ 6. I've been deep diving into several of the game's mechanics. The deeper one looks, the more one finds.
I also booted up No Man's Sky for a bit. I don't remember how to play this game at all.

Really appreciate the 3rd person view and little animations for the characters. It's great seeing fan favourite characters return.
You also get to see young miles when working under Von Karma.
I just saw that Chibi Robo will be included in the GameCube online library. What a fun game that was. We definitely need Twilight Princess as well.

You can. Do this to your joycons without having to disassemble everything.
BTW, who's pre-ordered Switch 2 here? It's out in 4 weeks.
Travo, Dvader, me.
Anyone else?
