I like it the way it is: There’s both and gamers decide what to buy. In the end, we are talking about a MASSIVE economy so of course there are also a lot of people who WANT you to upgrade your PC / console every 2 years or so.

You’re insane.

Windows because I have to use it at work anyway. Also it’s simple, nearly everything works out of the box and it’s still the best choice for gaming.

Have you heard about our Lord and Savior “Sync”?

As a dad of two young kids, I am 100% with you.

Best example for me: Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

I loved the first game but I had significantly more spare time back then. I picked up TOTK on day 1 but I just couldn’t connect with it because it’s too big. The map is too big, there’s just too many options it overwhelms me now. I maybe can spend one or two hours a day playing and I really enjoy it now if the game just takes me by the hand and guides me. These massive open world games are not for me any more I’m afraid.

I can’t believe this. The official app is so bad, I am losing faith in humanity.

Even if you get rid of the ads (ReVanced manager is your friend) it still pushes weird content into your timeline. Like, you scroll and there is an interesting post that you want to comment on. Oops, posted 20 days ago. Why would you recommend that to me!?

For accessing nearly 9 in 10 classic games, there are few options: seek out and maintain vintage collectible games and hardware, travel across the country to visit a library, or… piracy.

This last part especially is interesting. Because in this particular case, piracy seems like a totally positive thing. Frankly, I don’t have a bad feeling downloading really old classics.

Of course, there is always the problem of malware so ideally, there would be an official source to get these games from for free.
