Re: No Man's Sky 'Breach' Update Gets Spooky With New Explorable Ship Wrecks

@Pillowpants I played it back then too but picked it up on sale for Switch 2. I didn't expect to fire it up, I just bought it because it was so cheap. I played it for hours a day for like 3 months, it's like a sequel to what I played back then. More like the sequel to another sequel even. I'm not going to try to talk you into playing it again, but it's really good.

@ShieldHero firstly, they didn't have copyright laws during the Renaissance. That said, if somebody was copying someone else exactly and presenting it as their own work, that would still be messed up. But wait, there's more! During earlier periods, like the baroque era and Renaissance, resources like pigments and tools were severely limited, so their color palettes and techniques might make them look similar to the layperson, but I can assure you that it's incredibly easy to tell the difference between a Botticelli and a Bosch. Certain eras and regions even had religious rules governing the creation of art. For example, a very large amount of baroque music is composed in 3/4 or 3/2 time because these signatures were thought to invoke the holy trinity. Today these works might sound samey, since most of our popular music is in 4/4 time, but this is all a matter of perspective. It is from this modern perspective that most people here seem to have come to the conclusion that this "art" for the game described looks like a screenshot from animal crossing.

Re: Stardew Valley To Dig Up Mouse Controls On Switch 2

@LikelySatan A lot of people don't like the limits that the energy system put on you in the beginning, but you can upgrade your tools very shortly after starting, and you level up pretty quickly, too. If you dislike the way it feels though, I get that. It's kind of clunky in a SNES kinda way and it didn't feel great to me at first. But if you've given it a fair shake it's safe to say it's not for you. I'll say that I pretty much hated it at first but my wife was enjoying it (she wasn't a gamer at the time) so I stuck with it. Now I own the soundtrack on vinyl and it's in my top 5 games of all time.

@StewdaMegaManNerd Anti-Matter knows his stuff regardless of his ownership status and he didn't mention whether he participated in the poll. Regardless, he did choose a title that he does have access to.

Re: Mario Kart World Wins "Best Nintendo Switch 2 Game" Of Gamescom 2025

@AverageGamer I'm playing devil's advocate here because obviously this wouldn't make much sense, but Bananza is widely loved by pretty much everyone and MKW, a game Nintendo claimed had enough content to demand an $80 price tag is being derided by its player base for not having enough content. It could be reasoned (poorly) that Nintendo would prefer MKW to win, proving that it's worth every penny and the naysayers are full of it. For my money, if Nintendo did any bribing (they most certainly didn't) it would have been to have them bother awarding Switch 2 games at all since there are so few that I own almost all of them, which is not a feat.

Re: Best Nintendo Switch 2 Third-Party TV Docks

@Wewewi oh wow that's different. The original problem was that docks using their own power supply provided too much power and overloaded the system. I have an extra Switch 2 power supply so I was going to look into one of the ones that runs on that but I guess there's still reason to be skeptical. TBH I'm sure most are okay but I just don't need one badly enough, however minimal the actual risk. Maybe in a year or two.

I really want one of these but somebody is going to really have to do some convincing to get me to risk third party docks. Judging from the comment section I'm not alone in fearing these docks.
