I’m sure many people play third party games on their Switch (as do I) but that wasn’t the question I was asking. The deleted message was along the lines of “buy a Steam Deck, it’s better for everything except first party games”, so I wanted to know if they specifically bought it to play third party games.

Do you really buy Nintendo consoles for something other than first party Nintendo games? Why?

Directors and actors go into a closet filled wall to wall with DVDs, pick out some favourites and tell us why those fillms are important to them. Their choices are generally not what you’d see on some stereotyical “best movies ever” list (though certain directors like Kurosawa often get a mention) so it’s quite interesting.

I haven’t seen it, but Onibaba (1964) has a good reputation. Willem Dafoe recently recommended it as one of his Criterion Closet Picks.

I Saw the Devil

I saw this as part of my university film club back in the day and we had a break afterwards before the next film. Everyone was so shocked that there was barely any discussion, just stunned silence lol

Useful comparison, thanks for sharing!

Why wouldn’t people subscribed to a Nintendo community downvote a commenter saying “I wish NIntendo disappeared”?

I’m sure this will die down pretty quickly like every other gamer “controversy” or “massive backlash”, but all power to the no-lifers who live for this neverending cycle of anti-game developer ragebait.

How does it compare to other handhelds, though? Slower than the original Switch is bad, but if these smaller panels are less responsive in general then I’m not sure I care if they compare poorly to larger PC monitor panels. I am not buying a handheld to compete directly with my PC.

I love it when I see obvious artistic expression in the medium, and those filmmakers with clear styles make it super obvious and easy to appreciate. Most aren’t for me either but I love that they exist.

It’s very fun. I have played football all my life and always wanted a game like this to play virtually with other people at home. A couple of years ago I had to give up the sport due to a bad knee injury, so to be able to play again albeit in an arcadey video game is so satisfying.

It’s probably not as fun for people who aren’t football fans or players, as I think a lot of the enjoyment comes from aspects that are unique to the sport rather than traditional video game elements. A good comparison is the Camelot Mario sports games on the N64. They weren’t hardcore simulations or anything, but were still focused largely on the core principles of the sport, as opposed to newer Mario sports games or the Mario Strikers series which are very silly and not really designed for sports lovers.

I’ve started playing Rematch, a new small-sided PvP football game where you control one player on your 3v3/4v4/5v5 team (it’s all players, no AI). It seems like something that could run on the Switch 2 in the future, but for now I am playing on PC.

I’ve only played Ever 17, but it was very good. I hope you enjoy it too!

Who is praising Game Freak? The video is quite critical of the studio.

Kinda looks like a Rareware game, although maybe I’m just making that connection because I played Donkey Kong 64 as a kid.

I was also on the fence for a long time because I detest console shooters as a result of playing a lot of PC shooters (inability to aim as consistently or as quickly just feels terrible to me), but at the same time, the novelty of a Nintendo-developed PvP shooter always interested me. In the end I couldn’t make a decision myself so I put it on my Christmas/birthday list and a family member bought it for me. I’m glad I tried it, although I don’t like it enough to play regularly.
