yeah, i dont understand a scenario where people own multiple consoles and only one tv to watch stuff on or play games that is only available for multiple people that all want to use it at the same time. thats correct.

Maybe they have just the one living room

Is it that hard to imagine a family with one TV and 0 desktop PCs?

I have a small TV that I can set up when I want to use my PS4 but other people want the TV. It was like 90 bucks. That’s my solution right there. It’s not quite play anywhere like the Switch is but it’s served me well for not being “that dick hogging the TV”

It was a joke. The fact that the Switch looks better than a PSX now doesn't nullify the fact that the PSX looked awesome to me 22 years ago, and I still don't like screens that are 3 inches wide and fit in my palm.



I dunno, do you want me to be? Seems like people are really into collecting diagnoses these days.

Just a weird lack of empathy where there's chat about solutions to other people wanting screen time and yours was "gently caress 'em"

I'm about to meet Cleopatra and I'm told that she is high scoiety and must accept me and I should show deference so obviously I switched my outfit to Bath Towel. Now I'm standing around their war table with a towel on my head like a ten-year old pretending to be an Assassin.

Is it your first soulsborne? You spend a lot of time in the first area of all the games your first time learning the game. This includes dying a bunch.

The Switch’s screen is 6.2 inches. Topic Locked.

First area is the hardest, by far, for a first timer. It's much more confusing and overwhelming than the rest of the game.

So, if you're still having a good time, it's only going to get better!

It's a great design. And some of the best ds1 level design in the game.

Unlocking the first shortcut of Bloodborne is the first "boss" of the game.

i was getting dogpiled when i first started so i just started working on running past everything as a strategy until i go to the lamp checkpoint and could do some xp building from there as a base

it works great. took 2-3 lives max to get the route

Feel like I'm gonna be paralyzed by indecision over whether to get the remaster for PS4 or hold off to bolster the library of the Switch I hypothetically intend to get in like a year or two.

Oh yeah Switch will eventually charge for online right? I'm never gonna pay for that so OK, decision made easier.

Anything that's closer to an xbox controller is an improvement, but I've never seen a third party controller that wasn't garbage quality.

Apparently those wired ones that only came out in the UK were nice though.

Whatever the actual quality (and from experience Hori's okay on that front; though I've never used a controller from them), it doesn't look bad.

A lot of people like the two thumbsticks to be on the same level, like on the Playstation controllers. Others like the asymmetrical thumbsticks, like on the Xbox. It's a preference people like to act offended over the opposite opinion.
