I don't own one yet. But my nephew does and he has the mixed ones, with red and blue. I think he has other joycons, but I'm not sure what colors they are. I actually helped send one of his joycons in for repair a while back.

I don't know what their service was like. But I don't get why they use the friend code system. They should do what the other consoles do. Or do what discord does with names. Xbox copied that idea and that's how gamertags work now. So you can be the 100th gamerking or something lol.

I don't think a new PS handheld has to meet the same specs of a PS5. That's kinda tough to do. But i think as long as they make quality games, that's all that matters. I don't think you can get the same specs as a PS5 in such a small form factor either. I'm sure the steam deck had to cut some corners to make it work for them. I think if they can match what the switch and steam deck can do. It'll work out much better.

I didn't own the original Xbox growing up. Was still on the Sony bandwagon, as I had a PS1 and a PS2. But jumped to 360 when that came out. But I was always hopeful they would make all original Xbox games backwards compatible. As there are games I would like to play. I know some work on the 360 and xbone. But I wish all of them were compatible.

When I hear the word gimmick, I think of things that came and went. I think VR is only getting more popular as the devices keep getting better and better. As well, VR is becoming more affordable to get into. When I think of gimmick, I think of 3D TVs, or those shock collars you can get for VR where it lets you feel pain. VR in my opinion has staying power. Most gimmicks don't.

The only issue I have with cloud gaming so far is the streaming aspect. It's not all that great yet. Some people won't even be able to play this based on how well their internet is. I think once internet is more available to the world and at higher speeds, is when cloud gaming is going to really take off.

And another thing with retro, is I think retro can be used for dated tech that had been deemed obsolete. So old computers and other tech would probably qualify as retro too at some point. I'd say DVD players are retro now, not many people buy them anymore. And digital is taking over.

YES!!!! Thank you. I knew there was another site. I must have confused it with this new backloggd site, because the name is very similar. But yeah I think I had an account on this years ago, but never used it. That's awesome. I know there is probably another I'm forgetting. But I think backloggery was the one most people used to track their games.

The new Need for Speed Unbound game is dropping soon, and the team behind it, Criterion had an interview with the people at Eurogamer. And during the interview they discuss the possibility of a new Burnout game. But that there are no "immediate plans" at this time to make a new game in the series. But that means there is a chance of seeing a new Burnout game. But when do you think it'll happen? With EA out there, it could take a very long time. If you're a fan of Criterion and the games they make, I'd recommend reading the interview with the Creative Director of Unbound - Kieran Crimmins. Link below. https://www.eurogamer.net/criterion-has-hopes-for-a-burnout-return-but-there-are-no-immediate-plans

Essentially services where you can keep track of all of the games you own and play, along with being able to review the games you own on the same platform. Links can be found below for the ones I am aware of, or discussed in my previous post. Backloggd - https://www.backloggd.com/ Letterboxd - https://letterboxd.com/ (for movies only) I thought there was others like Backloggd, but am not sure what ones are worth checking out. I'll check out GOG Galaxy though. I think Backloggd is free to use as well, all of them are for the most part. But I know you can pay for special features at Letterboxd.

Logitech has jumped into the handheld fray by making their own Steam Deck competitor. Well kinda. It's more for cloud gaming, but is also usable as an android device, so you may be able to use it as an emulator or something. It's also pretty cheap right now, going for $299.99 on Amazon. So if this is something you see yourself buying, it's on sale now. Keep in mind though, this device is more geared towards streaming. Linus Tech Tips did a video on it comparing it to the Steam Deck. Check it out below:

I know there are sites/services out there that let you track the games you own and play. Kinda like what Letterboxd does with movies, but instead one for games that allows you to track your collection, and show what you're currently playing. I know there's one that allows you to somewhat do this, and it's called Backloggd. I checked it out earlier today and I wasn't sure if it was something I'd use. I thought there was another video game tracking site out there that allowed you to list everything, including what you're playing, your ratings, reviews, etc. Any suggestions for others out there?

The future of the Switch is just a more upgraded one. I think Nintendo found a niche that they fit perfectly in. They have a handheld and a console in one, it defeats the purpose of having to make a secondary handheld for the market at this point (like a Gameboy/DS/3DS for example). Nintendo could easily make new versions of the Switch, and just upgrade the hardware. That's what I see them doing going forward. There's no point to go back to making handhelds and consoles separate. They can have all of their games grace one console, and don't have to waste money running multiple devices on their system. Nintendo will continue to make the switch going forward with just upgraded hardware.

Does Nintendo even produce Amiibos anymore? I feel like they've kinda forgotten about it. As well, does the Switch even support Amiibos these days? I think when it first came out it was a big thing, but now days I don't hear much talk about Amiibos.

Honestly not sure. I have a couple Xbox One controllers from Microsoft, a couple Xbox One controllers from PowerA and a slew of other controllers for other consoles. I can't be bothered to count them all, but I got some for the N64, PS1, PS2, 360, PC, NES, SNES, Saturn, etc.

I can see that being the result. But with there already being VR mods out there, I don't see it being that big of a burden for them to implement it. But I doubt Rockstar cares. They'll just let the people make their own VR mods. If they ever do VR for GTA, then there's no excuse to not do it for RDR2.

The game is essentially a resource management game with zombies. For me, it got really repetitive an I hated how glitchy it was for me at times. Also you walk and run far too slow imo, at least from what I remember playing it. I imagine Days Gone is more comfortable to control, but I don't know if it really compares to Days Gone. With State of Decay and its sequel, you pretty much deal with the same zombies. You have to scavenge houses for supplies, constantly be on your feet because of zombies. You also have to clear out houses from zombie infestations and so on. You can meet survivors on your travels etc. The co-op isn't all that great imo. It just allows you team up with another player. It just makes the person you're playing with, much better than the crappy AI partners.

Did you guys take advantage of any Black Friday sales this year? It's Cyber Monday right now, and I'm willing to bet that each gaming service has deals yet. But come Tuesday, I think these sales will be ended. I was going to buy a couple games, but had to spend money elsewhere recently and decided not to get anything. What games/gaming stuff did you end up picking up?

Oh I totally understand the weirdness in it. But when it comes to cats, they will play with just about anything. So I figured it would be cute to download some games on my old tablet so my cat can mess around with it. I just remember when there was a bunch of memes and videos of cats on the internet playing on phones and tablets. I think my fat cat would get a kick out of it. Dogs on the other hand are harder to get to play something, they don't react the same to phones/tablets from what I see.

I use my PC for gaming, movies, tv, music, and work. I also used to use Canva a lot for work stuff, and that was used on my PC quite a bit, still kinda is. Other than that. I have a tablet/laptop combo I used to use, but accidently broke it and now I have to send it in for repair. That tablet combo I used exclusively for work, so now I'm back at my main PC for work related stuff until I get it fixed.

Jumped back into some Madden as of late. Not sure why I keep coming back, it's nothing new. Aside from that, still flipping houses in House Flipper somewhat. but it has become a bit tedious as of late. I wish there was more to do in it.

True Crime/Sleeping Dogs - This series needs a new game badly. I really enjoyed the original True Crime: Streets of LA back when it released. And then Sleeping Dogs came out and then nothing. I think Sleeping Dogs came out 10 years ago now, so we're due for a sequel. Also, I would love to see Sunset Overdrive make a comeback. Other franchises I'd like to see comeback are: Driver Metal Gear Solid (with Kojima) Splinter Cell - Might be getting a game soon I hope. Conker - I mean come on, we only got remasters, lets get a full on new game please. Socom - One of Sony's best shooters, forgotten SSX - But the cartoony/unrealistic style (not the reboot SSX they released last) Banjo-Kazooie - What's taking so long? And more I'm sure.

I'd say a lot of the early 3D games that came out. This includes PS1, N64, Saturn and maybe Dreamcast games as well. 3D graphics back then are tough to look back on now. I tried to play a few N64 games a while back and it was a burden on my eyes lol. Just everything often looked so grainy and rough. idk if House Flipper or Power Was Sim really need impressive graphics. When it comes to House Flipper, I feel like the inside of houses look fairly decent. It's the outside of houses that are lacking imo. But I think we're meant to focus more on the insides of houses than outside. But yeah, they aren't glamorous graphics, but passable with me.

I think it mainly happens for me when it's a chaotic moment. Or if it involves something on a track. I think the train track levels in Donkey Kong Country caused me to move with it sometimes. I think I even lifted my legs a couple time with the movement of the cart lol.

The only games I can think of where you date is the Sims games. I'm sure there are other games out there, that involves dating of some sort, but I don't usually play those games. There might be adult games out there that offer this though too. I know the past GTA games had dating options, but I don't think the newer one did from what I recall.
