“Egad, Jay, brilliant! Oh, wait, no, it’s just going to become enshittified like every other centralized platform.”
Oh, I know everything will be affected by the coming price increases. But the thing is, on PC you have a lot of options as far as getting games to play compared to consoles where you’re locked into their ecosystem and have to pay whatever price they want you to. So it’s a higher up front cost for less cost later. And you can choose to pay less for tech that’s older and will run things at lower settings. With consoles you have no choice.
Oh, good point, I forget about that! They actually went asymmetrical first with the Gamecube, then symmetrical with the Wii pro controller. The Switch is asymmetrical out of necessity, and the Switch pro controller probably is because the joycons are. So it really is only Microsoft always preferring asymmetrical.
After the Switch 2 reveal I saw the writing on the wall that console gaming was going to be too expensive for me, but I still wanted a way to easily play on the TV with a controller. The Steam Deck has been awesome for that. I’m fine with playing older games on it and reserving the rare new demanding games I actually want to play for the PS5. Next gen I might just move to PC for demanding games the way things are going.
For me it came down to affordability more than anything else. The cost of the other PC handhelds don’t make sense to me considering the battery life. Might as well get a laptop at that point. The fact that the Steam Deck doesn’t use Windows and has the best community support were bonuses.
Valve and Sony are the only ones that did symmetrical. Symmetrical was actually first with the DualShock for the PS1, but the 360 controller being popular and commonly used for PC apparently made googly sticks more common. The Switch at least has a justification in that the joycons can be removed and used by themselves, necessitating the stick placement.

a rushed game is forever bad
No Man’s Sky? Cyberpunk 2077?
The Oblivion gates are super boring. Before dropping the game, try the Shivering Isles expansion - it’s a really different experience from the base game and I personally like it much better. It starts here:
The ruins of a Planet Smoothie in Old New York.
Most aren’t even aware that a decentralized option exists.
Hard to say, with the world economy being so volatile right now. I can say that as someone who has owned every one of Nintendo’s consoles and handhelds (even the Virtual Boy!), I have no intention of buying a Switch 2. Nintendo’s done plenty of shady stuff in the past, but everything about the Switch 2 smacks of arrogance and greed on a level beyond what they’ve done before.
Ruined instantly, and still gets me to this day. While they retconned it, the Seymour we see clearly never saw Fry again, so even if that timeline was erased, it still happened at one point!

If it takes forever
I will wait for you
For a thousand summers
I will wait for you
The problem is that the game forces the player to engage in what is obviously pointless torture. It’s in character for Trevor to do this, but we should be able to choose not to be involved in it. All the same points can still be made if Trevor does it on his own.
With VI, Rockstar is going to have an Onion problem of trying to be satirical in an age when the US government has fully embraced fascism. In Florida, no less! I really hope the game is all anti-authority and there is NO cooperation with any government agencies, only killing them.
And it will. Capitalism makes it inevitable.
