This is the ideal situation.

The ideal, ideal situation:

PS4
Wii U
Switch
PC with at least a last gen video card (because any PC exclusive worth playing doesn't have high end graphics)
3ds
Vita
GBA SP AGS101
PSP w/ CFW
PS3 1st gen w/ backwards compatibility
360
Dreamcast

This will allow you to play nearly any game ever made.

And I guess a Bone. But only if all the boxes above are clicked first

Truth, also just skip the bone unless you have to have forza, there are so few games that aren't also on PS4 and better on PS4.

The best set up is to only own Nintendo consoles with a gaming PC and to borrow your friend’s PlayStation for those few excellent exclusives.

This is the real wisdom, although I'll say that I plan to buy a PS4 pro and PSVR when they get cheap (after the PS5/PSVR2 drops I guess) and go back to play all the vr content because gently caress coughing up like 3 grand for a vive and vr capable pc.

Played some Gun on my OG Xbox last week, albeit only an hour of it.

Ya, I could get rid of my Xbox and 360 since most of the games I want I can get on Steam for cheap or on PS2/PS3, plus my XB1's backwards compatibility. But I have plenty of room for my setup now and it stays organized well.

But ya, I totally get the whole decluttering thing. I sold off my original PS2, Wii, games, etc. awhile back when I was decluttering and trying to take some hints from minimalism. I regretted doing that and purchased most of it back in the year or two after, but in not as good of condition since I apparently am the only person in the world who doesn't lather mysterious grime on or tosses around consoles... seriously, what do people do to their loving consoles? That poo poo sits under your TV, how does it get beat up or full of loving grime?

Bone does have Rare Replay if you don't have an upscaler or Ultra HDMI mod for your N64 (outside of emulation).

I'm not a huge arcade game fan, just enjoy them from time to time so don't need anything specific, so the only Dreamcast game that wasn't cross-platform or later released on Nintendo/Sony/Xbox hardware was Shenmue. So I sold it. Sold my Genesis too and just play the few games I have a on a Retron5 or RetroGen.

This is true. Only reason I still have mine.

I play Xbox for about 1.5 hours at a time a few days a week before she gets home from work. Usually enough time to get something done in Destiny 2 or a couple of rounds of Rocket League. She's going to Boston for work next week so I'll poop sock D2.

I got my PS4 last November for the exclusives. I turned it back on when No Mans Sky updated but haven't touched it in two weeks.

I use Switch at the office during my lunch and at home when she wants to watch House Hunters or something else.

I'll probably play the new Spider Man game on PS4 then sell it to a coworker for $200. It was a good deal when I got it but I've torn through the exclusives (Until Dawn, NMS, Uncharted Collection, Last Guardian)

RIP my left joycon. The left control stick keeps giving left input even after calibration. MK8 is basically unplayable if I have to turn right. It doesn't seem to appear in any other games as far as I can tell though. Guess I'll just have to send it back to Nintendo. Should I get a spare joycon in the meantime?

The 3ds could do this since launch what's up with the lack of basic fundamental and super easy to integrate features?

Not a big deal but I'd love to tuck my lamer looking games into a folder when using the switch socially etc

Thimbleweed is great for as long as it's doing the 'lucasarts take on the twin peaks formula' thing, but at some point in the 2nd half it decides that the boring nerd character is now the main character and proceeds to go off the rails badly.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:

A metal thing jabbing into either the games themselves, or pressing against the screen through a layer of felt, is probably not the best for the longevity of said game/screen.


There's a plastic bit that stows underneath the dock that actually props the switch up at more of an angle than that one image indicates:



:iiam:

Based on that specific image, "not if you also want to carry around another extra pair of joyconns", I don't know what the thickness of the brick is compared to those extra controllers though. And of course your case may vary, since that doesn't look like the "official generic" switch case.

Can I buy this yet? I've been bringing my switch into the office for some uh... team building Mario Kart sessions every once and awhile and would like a second dock to keep in my desk drawer.
