It actually doesn't appear to be a battle royale at all, but instead something akin to a cooperative-competitive borderlands

It's a really interesting idea, though undoubtedly difficult to pull off

Nothing deflates my interest in a cool looking game faster than the world multiplayer

(to be fair that didnt look particularly cool aside from like the first 10 seconds)

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.

Minecraft is the obvious choice, it's what I gave my 8-year-old cousin on X-mas.

Although he probably already has it at this point?

Are there LEGO games on the Switch? Undercover or Marvel Heroes would be great.

Once I was at the Nintendo World Store in NYC and they had this up on a big screen, with subtitles on, in the middle of a store that was at least 50% small children :o:

Fortnite is rated T (for Teen), also is that something seven-year-olds actually play? I pictured it more as a thing for thirteen year olds

I found out that there's a category on twitch dedicated to live feeds of crypto values, and there's one that's like SaltyBet that compares random crypto values in real time and you can bet who will win after a set period of time,

Oh man, THAT'S how the Half-Life series ends? I figured it would be 'the world is doomed' but somehow this is so much worse. Goddam :smith:

So Half-Life 3 is going to be announced soon, right?
