For sure. I'm looking forward to playing Spider-Man 2 in a couple years. π

Seriously. I'm always psyched when a great game gets ported to any other console. I'm a PC player, I don't even play on consoles (except Switch), I'm just happy more people get to experience games that made me happy. Exclusivity makes sense for the console makers, but from a consumer perspective, it's fucking stupid. It's so weird to me that people defend it so fiercely.
The joke is that all the adventures Mario has in the games are just escapist dreams, because he's actually just a normal plumber who is sad and unfulfilled by his life.
Holy crap, that thing had a backlit LCD and could play 16-bit home console games on the go. What a beast. How did I not even know this thing existed? 0.o
Haha yeah, I was gonna say, if you've even been on the eshop once, "selective" is not the word you'd use to describe them.
Yeah, I knew it was bad when Loki, a show I really liked, dropped it's second season and I just didn't even care. I'm sure it's solid, I just still haven't seen it. It sucks because the MCU was like "my thing" that I was super into for a really long time. I geeked so hard over it. I still haven't seen Echo, either, or the last couple movies. It's a bummer.

Is this as gimmicky as it looks, or does it actually have a discernable benefit?
I mean, she's straight up said she thinks that trans women are not women and that she believes being transgender is a mental illness. She said she'd rather go to jail than be forced to call trans people by their preferred pronouns (which is insane and not a real scenario that would happen, but still telling nonetheless lol). She's buddied up with some far-right extremists, one of which has likened being transgender to doing blackface and another that said trans men should be sterilized.
I also don't agree with extremist takes on either side, but promotion of trans erasure and mocking/minimizing/invalidating a margininalized group that is frequently at risk of being targeted for violence are not victimless acts.
I think this is the answer. It seems like Microsoft is laying the foundation to go all-in on cloud gaming and/or gamepass. I think their ultimate goal is to dip out of the console wars altogether and be at the forefront of what they think could be the next frontier in gaming.
Honestly, it's kinda smart. Idk if cloud gaming could really be the future (at least in the US) until we have better infrastructure and access to fast/reliable internet without data caps is more ubiquitous, but carving out a niche for themselves instead of locking horns with the competition is pretty clever. It's worked for Nintendo. Most PC and console gamers I know also own a Switch, in part because of the quality of the exclusives and in part because of the relatively accessible pricing of the console, but also because the Switch hardware offers a unique experience (well, it was a lot more unique pre-Steam Deck).
Please. For the love of god. Mega Man Legends 3.
