He’s polling higher than that. Closer to like 5-6 percent in quite a few states. It’s certainly enough to swing the election.

What’s the monetization like on this? I knew this was one of Sony’s GaaS. I think $50 is a good price, but what is the ongoing cost for content?

It’s not competitive. It’s cooperative. It doesn’t even have a pvp mode.

And even if it had a pvp mode, 3 days isn’t going to change anything long term. It’s such a minor issue. It’s just another thing for people to needlessly complain about.

They did, yes. Getting pretty common these days. Early Access with a preorder of a higher priced digital edition of a game. Seems relatively harmless to me. I would never pay for that, but I think if it means that much to you, it’s not hurting anything.

I mean, who was searching for that before the game released? I imagine you’d see the same trend with basically every game immediately following release. Not to downplay the issues the game has having, but this is like a “duh” kind of thing.

On the flip side, I’ve never used the touchpads in a game outside of Aperture Desk Job.

Emudeck also installs EmulationStation. You can choose to access your games and not by integrating then into Steam. Just like Retrodeck.

They are shipping the orders from crowdfunding now. When that’s done they’ll ship orders from their website. So, I guess it’s technically a preorder. But the devices are being shipped now, just in a specific order.

I’ve had mine for a couple weeks. It’s killer. The SD8G2 is an absolute monster for emulation and gaming, especially with the active cooling.

Posted today and already out of date. At least on the top pick. The AYN Odin2 is out already, and it’s a huge upgrade over the original in every way. The Odin Pro is still a good device, but the Odin2 is so so much better.

• Hardspace: Shipbreaker
• WWE 2K23
• Unpacking
• Friends vs Friends
• Prodeus
• The Legend of Tianding
• SCP: Secret Files
• Souldiers

For me, not a great month. Interested in Prodeus, but not much else stands out for me personally.

This thing looks like a beast. I have the first Odin, and it’s a very competent device, but not a powerhouse. They basically threw all the specs at this one and made meaningful improvements to the rest of the hardware. I’m pretty excited to get one.

Well, I’m on my ROG Ally at the moment because of Game Pass, but I just finished up Cocoon. Can’t recommend it enough. If it has a story, I couldn’t tell you what it is, but as a puzzle game, it’s fantastic. I think it strikes that balance where you feel smart without it being frustrating. Portal does that too. This was my favorite puzzle game of the year, easily.

One day I need to get around to trying Banjo Tooie. I’ve always wanted to at least give it a shot. I finished Yooka Layler, so surely it can’t be that bad.

Big range. My main issue is just convenience. I have a PSVR2, and it’s just a pain to use. Like, you really have to dedicate yourself to using it. It has never felt like something you just do spur of the moment. You can’t just sit back and relax.

1. Yes, you can wear your glasses. You can also provide your prescription to third party companies to make you lense inserts if you’re willing to spend extra money. Some are held with magnets and easily removable, others are a little more annoying to get in and out. But they’re great and totally worth it if you’re getting into VR.

2. Yes. Any game will play using the headset. But it will just look like you have a big TV in front of you. They will still be “flat” games, but you can play them with the headset on. But you won’t be “in” the game, if that’s what you’re thinking. Like of you’re playing a first person game, you won’t be in it.

It’s running Android and they don’t have a streaming app for Android. I guess they could make an exclusive app for it, but seems like a lot of work for a super tiny audience.

I don’t really understand this. It’s like streaming PS5 games but exclusively from a PS5? If you’re internet is good enough for streaming, why wouldn’t you just download? Seems like such a niche thing. Always better to have the option than not, just seems like a strange addition.

For some reason I already own this on PC. Haven’t played it yet, but I guess early access went on sale and I wanted to get around to it. Guess I’ll jump in with 1.0.

They’re going to be rumored to show it off at every trade event ever. But, really, they’ll just have their own presentation whenever they want, like they always do.

Whatever the Switch 2 end up as, I think people may be disappointed. Without some huge leap in battery and power efficiency, it’s going to be hard to keep something slim and relatively small while also making it much more powerful and having decent battery life. Just look at the handheld PC market. You can make something more powerful, but other things will suffer (size of you’re the Steam Deck, battery life and thermals if you’re the Ally). You could certainly make a more powerful Switch, but if keeping it small and somewhat battery efficient is important, the improvements to power wouldn’t be earth shattering unless Nintendo is sitting on some battery tech no one else has.
