@AtlanteanMan Amazing comment. I personally believe the reason the debate doesn't go both ways and the scales are not balanced is because Christianity and its values are specifically under attack while all the other things are not. People have abandoned the Lord for the world. That's all I'll say on any of this. I give this comment section approximately 1 hour before it gets shut down. Lol
Personally, I think the Steam Deck will be dead on arrival. The PC Master Race folks woth one foot in the console door may get it and then it will disappear from memory.
I 100% understand those who don't feel its worth it to upgrade. For me, it happens to be worth it for a few reasons:
1) I have a launch unit and the shell is scratched up and tired. The top vents are broken and the back plate is slightly warped. This thing has been through the ringer.
2) As a launch unit, I skipped the 'red box' version but still crave that slightly improved battery life.
3) I play 80% handheld and have never experienced an OLED screen. Plus, I use even this crap OG kickstand a lot. The new one will be amazing.
4) Just recently I ran out of internal and SD storage so the slight increase will help a lot.
5) I have kids who now want a Switch and my current one is perfect to give to them once my OLED arrives (and once they earn it). Then we can use features in games that require 2 Switches (like Mario Party).
6) The new white joycon will bring my total to 8 (4 pairs), enabling me and the kids to all play Smash with complete controllers.
Best Buy had measures in place with multiple step check out and disabled shipping options (pick up required) which was nice. It still ran out of stock in like 5 minutes but I was able to grab one.
Can't believe I secured one through BestBuy! They seem to have a few measures in place to block bots which is nice. About 4 minutes after I secured mine, the buy button reverted back to "Coming Soon"...whew!
@Realness Thats exactly my attitude. I'll try for one since my launch unit's body is dying and my kids could buy it from me if I upgrade. Not to mention I play mostly in handheld mode. If I lose to the bots however, I'll shrug it off and move on.
@Crono1973 I only use acronyms when its a brand new game thats currently making the rounds and can be logically guessed by most people. MONSTER HUNTER STORIES 2 just came out. To give you a leg up in this race, in the next few weeks you might see SSHD. This would mean "Skyward Sword HD". Now you're set up for success! And also...I meant if you've never played Skyward Sword, you're in for a treat.
I'll probably double dip after I finish MHS2. If you've never played it, you're in for a treat!
Kinda surprised to see all the hate for it. Its one of my favorite games in the series and despite its flaws, trumps even BotW for me because of one simple reason: it actually has a story. Arguably the best story in the series with Link and Zelda actually having personalities. Some of the best boss battles too! I found the original's motion controls to be almost perfect so any improvements is just icing on the cake.
As far as the amiibo goes...I'll just download it to my Powersave and be good to go.
I wanna get one of I can. I can actually really use the little bit of extra storage and my launch unit is falling apart. Not to mention I play more in handheld than docked. For me it's completely justified.
Pre-ordered and can't wait. I played it a little back in the day and enjoyed what I played. I'm old school through and through so a lot of these negatives are actually positives for me. Plus I'm taking it on a vacation that begins the day of release so a nice, chill, relaxing RPG is just what I need. Not to mention I'm stoked to have ANYTHING to play as we slowly come out of this recent game drought. Now SE needs to get on re-releasing Chrono Trigger and classic FFs (pre 7) on Switch. What are they even doing??
Maybe its my age talking, but they all look so samey. Nothing looks interesting anymore as it it seems everything is just a top down pixel art hack n slash or shoot em up. Pass on all for me.

Re: Mini Review: The Procession To Calvary - An Absurdist Point-And-Click Quest That Will Split Your Sides
Love point and clicks and the overall concept but looks like it may be sacrilegious which I'm not cool with. Hard pass.

Re: Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings Of Ruin Has Shipped Over One Million Units Worldwide
Loving it so far! I only wish the frame rate was better. It goes from 60fps to like 15 all the time.

I'm soooo sad it disqualified Shantae.
