I don't understand all the complaints around the difficulty. Hollow Knight was a challenging game; Silksong follows in its footsteps. Difficulty, when overcome, provides an incredibly rewarding experience. It also reinforces the immersive experience of the story. Do folks similarly complain about FromSoft games?
Silksong is a masterpiece in the Metroidvania genre. I'm glad Team Cherry took their time to create the game the way they did. It is the cherry on top of the ice cream.
I asked ChatGPT to "write me a poem about Nintendo Switch joycon drift." Here is what it came up with:
Drifting joy, a tale of woe A controller's plight, a gamer's foe The Switch held high, with hope and cheer But lo, the joycon, it does not steer
With every move, a subtle shift A cursor stray, a control adrift We shake and jostle, we press and pray But still the joycon drifts away
We reach for warranty, we seek repair But still the problem lingers, a constant snare So as we play, we curse and sigh For the joycon drift, that will not die.
Why is the world so enamored with sequels? Leave well enough alone. This game was great! Don’t ruin it by trying to milk money on its success. Everything must come to an end. Better to leave on a high note and remember greatness.
I long for a patch history details section that would exist within the details of each game (hit + or - on game icon). As games get updated, there is no way for me to understand the implications of what the patch that was just forced upon me has done to my gaming experience. Was it just a performance update? Was it a new DLC with all new content? No way to know other than to search the web and pray that the developer has posted something on a forum. Many indie studios do not post patch notes. The Nintendo developer program requires patch details to be provided with each update so they can verify the contents before publishing to the masses. Just make this available to us please.
@ludovsky to corroborate your point, I purchased my Switch in April of 2017 - the 2nd batch, so to speak. I have cracks near the heat vents and the power button. Playing Celeste and Doom in handheld, definitlely caused me to grip the system very tightly.
Nintendo community, don’t pull this Steve Jobs [removed] - You are holding the phone wrong, which explains poor reception and dropped calls. This is how the system was designed to be played and it is not holding up to its intended use. Simply put, this is a quality problem and Nintendo should fix it.
I’m pissed.
I play my Switch almost exclusively in handheld mode. I play on average for 1hr at a time. I treat my Switch with care and have never dropped it. I have exactly the same cracks next to the power button and along the heater vents. Even if I was “rough” with it during some extended gaming sessions, any damage is unacceptable, especially from Nintendo. As a kid, I used to abuse my NES and SNES and they still work today. Given that everyone reporting an issue has had their housing crack in the same way, this is definitely a manufacturing flaw. I don’t know why it is only affecting 20% of the population.

Re: Top-Down Roguelite 'Tunnel Of Doom' Digs Its Way To Switch Next Month
Was going to say the same, this looks like it HEAVILY borrowed assets from Moonlighter.
