Here to talk about all things gaming. |PC 7900XTX 7800X3D | Steam Deck OLED | Nintendo Switch 2 | 3DS | Wii | Xbox Series X |

My new small living room PC has been an actual gamechanger (and yes it does have a handle lol). I'm so incredibly impressed what this little low-spec/low power box can accomplish. It's shining in the most unoptimized titles like BL4. And all you need is a controller. It's the perfect "console".

PC benchmarks are kinda 'broken'. Almost every outlet who does it test on Ultra (or equvivalent highest setting). This doesn't make much sense imo other than for the absolute top end hardware. Ultra and high is usually *almost indistinguishable* but the performance uplift is often like 30% or more🤷‍♂️

One thing that bothered me in the Direct is Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity - Definitive Edition, why isn't this a Switch 2 Edition game with an upgrade pack? If you own the game on a Switch cartridge it's basically useless while you get a discount you still have to buy the full digital version.

Yesterday's #NintendoDirect was fine not the best but there were some great announcements, my favorites were: Metroid Ravenous, Romancing Saga 3, the RE remakes. I also like that Star Fox Adventures is on NSO now it was the first GameCube game I owned and the new Kirby game looks fun. 👍🏼

With the absolutely *stacked* September coming up, these are the two games I'll pick up: - Orbitals - Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Fun fact: It'll be my first time playing a Fire Emblem game Will you pick up any September game(s)?

I have quite a few of these, but God of War and God of War Ragnarök is top of mind here. Just didn't vibe with any of them. Especially not Ragnarök who massively overstayed it's welcome for me
