I thought True Colors was decent enough, but by all accounts Double Exposure was nothing special.

I really liked the anthology thing the series was going with, where every game was telling a different story with a different cast. Maybe eventually getting to the core of answering why these random kids have strange abilities.

But the last thing I wanted was them to try to continue from (what I thought was) a perfect ending. Just seems like they've lost the point.

The updated Forerunner architecture designs seem directly lifted out of Tron. I can't imagine it's a coincidence that Halo 4 released just 2 years after Tron Legacy.

Woden resembling Odin (along with the name)

Just some additional context, Woden is the Anglo-Saxon name for the same god, worshipped in England prior to the arrival of Christianity. Not too different from how the Roman version of Zeus is Jupiter.

The English word "Wednesday" also etymologically derives from "Woden's Day," like how Thursday is also "Thor's Day"

There's an Xbox Developer Direct next week that will feature Forza, I'm assuming they would have announced it then.

'You would never find a nicer, kinder person,' the father added about his son. 'He's a committed, conservative Christian, a tremendous father, a tremendous husband. I couldn't be more proud of him.'

"Nice" and "kind" seem mutually exclusive with "committed, conservative Christian"

FWIW, Amazon bought the James Bond IP last year (and also owns MGM Studios as of 2022). The relationship between this game and Amazon may be nothing more than that.

Playground is planning to fill their games with AI slop, so I can't say I'm overly interested in anything they have to say or show off.

That just leaves Gamefreak, which simply cannot make a good game if a gun was held to their head, so I don't have much interest in them either.

I count it as a handheld because every switch can be used as a handheld, while not every switch can be used as a home console.

So I guess why wouldn't the Switch Lite be counted in those sales? It's the same device, sans detachable controllers and docking capabilities.

It's like calling a phone that you can plug into a monitor with peripherals a "desktop"

And a couple of them (PS3, 360) aren't even pixelated.

Plus the Switch is a handheld, which makes it a weird distinction to make.

Switch has a good chance of overtaking PS2 before the end of its lifespan. The Switch is still selling and still getting game releases.

I wish my wife could play subnautica with me

Well she's too busy taking care of young Molly to be able to make the time. Maybe have Worf babysit?
