Welp, after playing the demo for 3 again, my love for Pikmin has overshadowed all. Hades and Dusk will have to wait; my Christmas game this year is definitely Pikmin 3.

Banjo-Kazooie is one of those games that I rented from Blockbuster and beat within like 3 days of nonstop playing, and then haven't touched since. This will be a nice addition!

Given they can't get memory cards working in the emulator, I wouldn't be surprised if the expansion pak's giving them grief too.

In the same way they intend to add more to the existing ones, which is to say one or two titles every handful of months, if we’re lucky.

Is the game award show known for game announcements? I don’t usually keep up with it so I have no idea, but this doesn’t seem like the time of year that companies are making big announcements anyway.

They certainly hype the game awards as if its going to have the biggest announcements you’ll see outside of E3, but it contained maybe one game I was excited to learn about out of its 3 hours of “world premiers”

I mean the fact that OLEDs exist in the wild just means that they're not scalpable enough to bother with, aside from a few desperate people trying it. The serious scalpers are all doing very well still with their hordes of GPUs and PS5s

oleds are being scalped for 500/600 and "only" 150 above retail is a good sign that they aren't that hard to get

I had first turned to OfferUp and Craigs List and there are tons of scalpers trying to sell OLEDs for nearly 500. Just obscene.

played 3 hours of Loop Hero today. controller support is good. text is a little small, i suggest using the high def font instead of pixel font. gameplay is fun and mysterious, but the numbers are clear enough to tell how things the mechanics connect. i never played the PC release but this one seems to work without glitches or issues so go hog wild

Ended up gettin' it last night anyway. Definitely a numbers-go-up kinda game with dopamine for now at experiencing and learning about new content.

I suspect it won't hold my long term interest 'cause the meaningful decision space seems pretty low, but that's fine. It's still a novel design.

What tempered glass screen protector are folks using for the Switch OLED? The Switch has a lot of good games, but I still can’t help myself from my true passions: hurling my console to the ground or scraping it across sharp objects.

Yeah I hate that bullshit, and while it normally happens in prestigious award shows, it REALLY happens with garbage like the game awards.

The game awards are like the super bowl for non-sports fans; if you want to see the ads/announcements, just wait for them to be uploaded to YouTube about 2.7 picoseconds after they're shown during the original show :shrug:

Saves from giving the game awards more views.

Also they have an award for best content creator, all of whom have been twitch streamers nobody's heard of. I actually have heard of the one that won this year and the only reason I did was because he made headlines a few months back when he was caught cheating on a Minecraft speedrun.

Wait, did dream loving win that?

Holy poo poo this timeline is so dumb :psyduck:

I unfortunately know of a whole bunch of streamers related to him because, of all people, my wife got into it all after hanging out a bunch with our niece. I get it, it's what they bond over and stuff, but I can't stand it.

I truly, truly do not get the appeal of any of those people. Sure, watching a manhunt where 5 people try to kill dream in Minecraft and fail spectacularly is good for a laugh, but the extended lore for all of those people is just *Seinfeld leaving gif*

Let me tell you about true luxury.

So if I am getting this right from the last page, the game awards are bad because they didn't spend enough time sucking off Japanese RPGs and that content creators with 15-100 million subscribers aren't "known" enough to win their category.

I only watch small Twitch streamers who play a variety of games. Usually retro games. They play one title at a time, and have a small community, usually less than 100 viewers. Everyone knows one another and talks among themselves and with the person streaming. it's very chill and cool. The big time streamers / content creators, are all insufferable and annoying. They are just corporate shills that are there to advertise to you more often then not.
