Definitely a bummer to lose a service that just rewarded customers for buying Nintendo games, but I buy so few games anymore that they were rarely adding up to substantial amounts.

Still, from being a loyal Club Nintendo member to having earned a couple of full-priced games in the eShop thanks to Gold Points, I'm hoping they have a new loyalty program up their sleeves even if it doesn't make much sense for them to anymore.

It was okay. Pretty clear the heavy hitting studios are still toiling away on their projects after the launch games. I'm happy with my PS5 but still kinda waiting for the generation to feel like it has "arrived" instead of an optional upgrade from the PS4.

Oddly enough it feels like that game won't even be made by Sony studios and it'll just be GTA6.

Not sure if you'd consider them 'retro', but the Professor Layton ports are all excellent! I think each game is about $10 and the first 3 from the Nintendo DS are available. Works perfectly as they were designed for touch screens. Highly recommend!

I feel like Sony isn't exactly coasting but kind of stuck right now instead. They have gained a reputation of fantastic story games that often set the standard for what games should look like visually. This results in longer development times and fewer games being released.

Combine that with the multiple live service game cancellations (Last of Us online, Concord, other reported games never announced), their release schedule looks very slow and right now Xbox studios looks like they'll release more titles this year than Sony's internal studios. Nintendo probably will too despite few announcements for this year as we'll likely get a flood of them after the full unveiling of Switch 2 in April.

I realized the same thing!

Just finished the first season yesterday - the pacing was phenomenal and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Probably taking a short break to let it breathe before jumping in to season 2.

Stunning intro! And like another commenter said, I somehow never watched it either. Thanks for posting it!

Huge coffee fan here and I've never tried decaf. Never really considered the benefit of decaf but I could see an evening or late night coffee could be a treat with little to no concern of staying up too late because of it. Not sure I'll spring to buy some, but I wouldn't hesitate to give it a shot if offered.

I'm excited for this game but hate the attitude Level-5 has with the Switch version despite it starting on Nintendo platforms. Price went up to fund the multiplat release and no physical release.

I think I'm going to play through the first one on 3DS again and wait for a price drop, but I'm looking forward to seeing how people like it!

And now they aren't ruling out the possibility of surgery for Davis. It's insane how poorly this entire trade went for the Mavs in every way imaginable...and even unimaginable.

I've been jumping back into the second Pokemon Scarlet DLC! Trying to take on the E4 at Blueberry Academy and finding it extremely difficult despite playing Pokemon since Blue version came out. I'm accustomed to single battles and the double battles have caught me entirely off guard - I need to go back to the drawing board and focus my team around different mechanics!

Or just grind EXP candies and brute force it. We'll see!

Damn, they already nailed fucked up with the elephant stuffed animal in It Takes Two, almost scared to see where this one goes!

I agree completely. I work in a middle school and most of my kids love Roblox; that being said, they tend to play with each other instead of just chatting with random people. I used to do that all the time in StarCraft/Diablo lobbies, definitely wouldn't call it social media.

But is Roblox a problem? Absolutely.

I've never played a Digimon game but this looks sick! Definitely on my radar.

Meh. High on Life isn't bad, but otherwise nothing too exciting.

I think that's a pretty fair take. I do think players should be given more grace than refs though; players have adrenaline pumping and are more likely to act out because of that, but the refs should mostly remain professional. Obviously that doesn't mean they should be demeaned or take inappropriate shit from players, but they should be able to keep their professionalism and composure when players chirp at them.

Really not surprising when they took a planned DLC and decided to charge $70 for it. I know this won't change much for the franchise moving forward, but it's still nice to see!

I suppose you have a solution and are aware of a candidate who can put that solution into action?

My little guy is just past 10 and has kidney disease too. Has been given the "hospice" diagnosis twice now and he's still going.

So so sorry for your loss, I understand how helpless it can feel.

Kutcher and Kunis' phones ringing off the hook right now.

Ooooh big strong man is so angwy!
