The cassette cases are really cool! I keep my Gameboy games in custom DS cases. It’s really nice having all of my gba/DS games looking uniform on the shelf. I kind of wish the Switch had kept that form factor.

I’ve got the 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth and it’s great. I finally upgraded to it from my old Xbox 360 wired controller. I would say it’s a worthy successor. I assume the wired versions are solid too.

Yeah this whole defending cheap foreign labor thing feels kind of weird to me. I might just be showing my ignorance here, but isn’t the end-game for globalization about raising living standards around the world? By trading with developing countries, the investment develops their middle class and eventually their wages should catch up with ours.

It feels weird to see people saying that so much of the American economy is suddenly unviable when we have to pay livable wages. If that’s the case, that’s a bad thing, and it should change. Not that I think these tariffs are the solution.

One of the things I really like about the Switch is that I can actually buy a whole physical game that doesn’t need an Internet connection. Sure, I have to check a website first, but I can at least curate my wishlist with games that are complete on cart.

At least them giving it a new name makes choosing games easier, I guess.

I think achievements are great for when you’ve finished a game but you want to keep playing it. A fun, additional challenge for when you’re not ready to be done with a game. Emphasis on fun though; you could easily design boring or frustrating achievements.

Yeah it sounds like a lot of people were hoping they would buff defense options. They gave a slight buff to sidestepping and then proceeded to buff offense even more.

I love how the SP looks. The original feels better in the hand but the clamshell looks so good and it feels great to open and close.

I’m tempted to get a foldable as my next phone because I miss that design.

Burnout 3 on PC would be a dream. It’s one of the reasons I still keep my 360 around.
