The Nintendo Switch

i picked up a 400 gb card on a recent sale, thank god

They are also speed rated so spend a couple more bucks to get a fast one.

Yeah that's what I read, to look for a high transfer rate to improve performance

mine’s 100mb/s and seems like enough

speed will mostly just translate to slightly faster loading times

what an odd story that is

Disco Elysium port in the works woohoo

yesssssssssssss

Is that news, or only that it is coming to Switch? They had at least said it would hit other consoles in 2020, right?

switch version is new news

great news - my preferred console for indie games

will buy

Hmm.. I'm inherently skeptical of any game with that much tiny text playing well on a console tbh

qui est 'Heatho'?

That's me

Cool!

i fear the baseball homunculi

to be clear, in y'alls opinion: if i don't give a shit about baseball, i will like this series?

no?

okay, i thought this was one of those where the gameplay trumps the genre

I don't give a shit about baseball but SMB owns. I imagine if I gave a shit about baseball it would own^2

good enough for me; downloading the smb2 demo

baseball has such a specific and constrained game space that you can't really make baseball gameplay that appeals to someone who doesn't like baseball

if you're saying you don't care about watching pro baseball then that's another matter

I've never watched or played baseball, and didn't really understand the rules (never mind the nuances) until I played SMB... I still find it heaps of fun and it became more fun the more I learned about the nuances of the game so I guess to that extent it maybe means I'm 'into baseball'?

I like cricket

they should make super mega cricket

i was more of a smb1 guy but 2 is also good

personally i don't think someone who doesn't like baseball would like super mega baseball, but that's just me. it does have some cartoony/arcade-like aspects, but it doesn't go so far to change the game as, say, NFL Blitz or NBA Jam did

i'd say so, especially if you like cricket!

if baseball ever starts up again, mosey on over to the ILBaseball board. the team to root for is definitely the st louis cardinals - JOIN US

no thanks I don't like baseball

The hitting mechanic is relatively simple but different from any other baseball game I've played. It's like when you find a really good fishing game in an RPG. I could see it having some non-baseball appeal based on the fun of the basic mechanics.

ya I like thwacking it

I contemplated buying 2 on Switch already at some point but I'm waiting for 3 now.

i think i may have bought 2 and never played it now that you mention it

i love baseball but i have yet to love a baseball video game. SMB2 is pretty good. i'm not crazy about the art style and i haven't found the right difficulty level to make it challenging but fun yet, but the gameplay is solid.

I don't give a shit about baseball but really liked that weird 3DS game with the dog that sells you cartridges for your Nontendo 4DS, but you could haggle with him to make them cheaper? now that I write this out it sounds more like a fever dream. anyway there was one in particular that was a baseball umpire simulator that I got obsessed with.

got slay the spire in the UK sale

I bought the Witcher 3. I played twenty minutes of it. It’s gory and um grimdark. Does it lighten up or did I spend $59 to be in a grumpy mood for eight million hours?

it alternates between zany and grim and gritty but it's best to take everything from the word go with an industrial salt lick

yeah the whole concept of the witcher is fantasy noir. its got a very deadpan humor to a lot of it though

How essential is the audio? Can I put on some Dead Can Dance?

lol yeah fantasy noir is basically goth right

slay the spire is guid lads

divinity looks guid too. tempted

the multiplayer train game is a big hit, playing with the 5 year old. Going to try unravel 2 next.

What is the multiplayer train game

Conduct Together! It was on sale last week. I think it might be a free phone game as well.
