Finished playing the Futures Connected extra story of Xenoblade Chronicles. It was OK as a short epilogue, but I wish the story explored more of

I've started the Torna DLC for Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I'm not sure sure if I wanna play it right now as it looks really bad in handheld, especially on Switch 2, where there's both the bad resolution (I think it's like 540p or less?) and the colors are fucked. I might wait a bit hoping a patch is released.

I've also started Fantasy Life i. It's pretty fun, it kinda reminds me of FFXIV with how the job system works. I do wish there was a bit more complexity in crafting, but it's still fun and there seems to be a lot to do.

Quite disappointed with how they are now going for $90 (physical, $80 digital for MKW) games, the upgraded versions are paid DLCs and even the tech demo is a digital purchase.

The console looks good, and $450 seems fine for it, but everything else looks overpriced and that has kinda killed my interest.

We did try BG3 when it came out, but were disappointed in how the coop interacted with dialogues and story events so we ended up dropping it. I kept playing it alone up to the start of act 2, but didn't enjoy it so we never tried coop again. We are playing an actual DnD campaign tho.

I haven't played PoE, but one issue I have with coop in action RPGs is that everyone is mostly doing their own thing independently of the other players and the classes are all damage dealers (which, side note, I feel like is the same in BG3 and DnD too). Does PoE have any options to play support roles? It does look fun tho so I might still try it, even if it's not exactly what I'm looking for.

I played it both at launch and a year ago with the DLC. It's alright - 6/10, but pre patches like 4/10.

The gameplay is fun because of how customizable your build is now, after the skill system was completely reworked.

The story is shallow, the characters forgettable and the open world really doesn't fit the urgency the story is supposed to have and ruins the pacing. The DLC is much better, but there's some parts where I don't really like how V is written, especially at the start, since it forces a specific personality I don't think fits them.

I remember the sidequests being generally entertaining, but I wouldn't call any of them special, just kinda average.

It feels a lot like a Far Cry game, but with much better build customization.

Its in my wishlist! I'm waiting for it to release tho, I don't really like playing early access games and risk getting tired of them before release.

That's a shame if it's true. I found the original uncomfortable and painful to hold, I was hoping for something more like the Steam Deck.

As someone who plays fighting games only for the multiplayer: I hate having to unlock the characters, as I'd be either forced to play a character I'm not interested in or a mode I don't care about.

I learned a bit of FORTH because an old Minecraft mod (Redpower 2) had a computer that could run it.

Is it the Nintendo Switch OS which is needlessly bloated? It does nothing, how can it be heavier than an actual Linux Distribution?

AFAIK the OS is based on a microkernel and the modules are rather small, so there's probably a lot of overhead for IPC. Also I guess the power management is quite aggressive to increase battery life and lower heat.

That's why I almost always hide helmets.

I've used it at work since it often is the only installed browser and it feels like it's already infected by toolbars and other malware out of the box.

The new tab page reminds me of the weird ads you see at the bottom of tabloid websites.

I always interpreted as X because it looks like a pair of scissors, C for copy and V just because it's close to the others.
