The article makes a point out of mentioning that you wont be able to emulate switch 2 games on the deck due to hardware performance and emulation overhead.

Maybe 5 years into the future, but not now.

Also interested in any link suggestions for controllers that are as compact as switch joycons. Would be awesome for social gaming on the go.


Okay, so I gotta admit, that article about the Switch 2 being not-so-bad actually convinced me. They’re right, it’s awesome for parties and two-player gaming on the go. I didn’t realize the hardware could do 3.2 teraflops docked (1.6 undocked)—the Deck only does 1.6!

Yeah, games are pricey, but I think Nintendo delivers good entertainment value.


I got a hunch that the team behind prepping the game for new hardware just didn’t have enough time to polish the port for DLC as well.

The outrageous prices are provably set by sales and/ or upper management anyway.

I kind of don’t get the urge for buying BotW on switch 2 if you alredy have it on original. Why not save your money on new games to play that are coming for thw system?


Ubisoft: ‘You don’t own your games.’ Me: ‘Cool, so when I uninstall The Crew, I’ll send you an invoice for storage fees since it’s technically YOUR property.’"

Also, The Crew was supposed to last until 2099? Bro, Ubisoft can’t even keep their servers alive for a weekend, let alone 76 years.


Double checked receipt, and I did indeed get it for that price


Here’s what I picked up during the Steam Spring Sale:

DOOM - $1.99 (90% off)
Stray - $18.99 (40% off)
Undertale - $0.99 (90% off)
Celeste - $4.99 (75% off)
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - $4.99 (90% off)
Red Dead Redemption 2 - $14.99 (75% off)
NieR: Automata - $15.99 (60% off)
Hades - $9.99 (60% off)
Devil May Cry 5 - $19.79 (67% off)

I wonder if there is some definition gap in what Bethesda thinks makes a good game and what make a good game in the eyes of players.

They have probably done a lot behind the scenes improvements that warrants them to say that this has been the best to work on, but clearly it’s not the best to play.


I used AI to do a quick summary, hope it highlights why people feel negatively about LTT

Over the past year, the YouTube channel Linus Tech Tips (LTT) has faced significant controversy and negative feedback from viewers, primarily centered around workplace issues and allegations of misconduct.

Negative Feedback from Viewers:

  1. Content and Business Practices: There has been criticism regarding the quality and accuracy of LTT’s content. Some viewers and other tech channels, such as Gamers Nexus, have pointed out errors and misleading information in LTT’s videos【1】【2】.
  2. Market Expansion: LTT’s attempts to expand into new markets and increase viewer growth have also been scrutinized. Some critics believe these moves have compromised the channel’s integrity and focus【3】.

Sexual Harassment Case:

  1. Allegations: There were serious allegations of sexual harassment, bullying, abuse of power, and retaliation within the LTT workplace. These claims painted a picture of a toxic work environment【4】【5】.
  2. Response and Investigation: LTT conducted an investigation through a third-party law firm, which concluded that the allegations were not substantiated. However, the handling of the situation, including the dismissal of the claims, has left some employees and viewers dissatisfied【6】【7】.

Overall, the combination of these issues has led to a turbulent year for Linus Tech Tips, impacting its reputation and viewer trust.
