Only if a wave hits it.

I use PopOS on my desktop. I was looking to upgrade an old Chromebook and while researching my options came dangerously close to buying a MacBook Air. Decided to buy an android tablet instead for my portable computer and bought another SSD so I could dual-boot on my desktop.

It's clean, somewhat macOS like in appearance but I actually have freedom to do what I want. Just in time for Windows 10 sunsetting too.

The cassette cases are really cool! I keep my Gameboy games in custom DS cases. It's really nice having all of my gba/DS games looking uniform on the shelf. I kind of wish the Switch had kept that form factor.

I've got the 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth and it's great. I finally upgraded to it from my old Xbox 360 wired controller. I would say it's a worthy successor. I assume the wired versions are solid too.

I agree, sales are constant (at least on PC) so I almost never even paid the $60 price tag. They can keep cranking up the prices but more and more people may just wait for sales. I know Nintendo games don't go on sale very often but that makes the ecosystem even less attractive. $450 is in the range of a Steam deck.

Inflation or not, prices can only go up if the market will support them. If people are unable (or unwilling) to pay the higher prices, then prices basically can't go up.

One of the things I really like about the Switch is that I can actually buy a whole physical game that doesn't need an Internet connection. Sure, I have to check a website first, but I can at least curate my wishlist with games that are complete on cart.

At least them giving it a new name makes choosing games easier, I guess.

Yeah it sounds like a lot of people were hoping they would buff defense options. They gave a slight buff to sidestepping and then proceeded to buff offense even more.

Burnout 3 on PC would be a dream. It's one of the reasons I still keep my 360 around.
