It’s 2023 and Some Gamers Are Trying To Get a PlayStation Employee Fired for Playing an Xbox Game in c/gaming@beehaw.org

I get people preferring one platform over another. What I don't understand is platform loyalty/tribalism. It makes no sense. Just enjoy your games!

Consumer Nintendo Switch 2 rumored to have more RAM than the Xbox Series S in c/gaming@beehaw.org

Nintendo never really did complicated. Can't imagine them doing a battery warning with features you can turn on/off.

Nintendo Switch Successor Rumored To Have Been Shown To Press/Devs At Gamescom in c/gaming@beehaw.org

If that was the case though, I would have expected them to have announced it already 🤔. Nintendo doesn't strike me as the kind of company to show their hardware to the press long ahead of announcement.

Would be a bit weird as they own GOG.

Showing it to devs/publishers I can understand. Why would they be showing it to press though?

I encountered this at work today. I just assumed I couldn't turn it off. Will def be looking for that setting tomorrow.

That's all I needed to know.

Is this actually accurate though? From my understanding you had to "activate" threads access, and those who did this are those who have been counted in the numbers.

Isn't this a GDPR requirement if enough time passes without account activity?

A Misguided Guide To Finishing Your Gaming Backlog (youtu.be)
 

Found this video really interesting as I have a relatively large backlog myself. Fortunately not nearly as large as this one.

Personally, I've only ever considered games I own to be part of my backlog, which makes my list much more manageable. That said, I have a large number of unplayed games on both Steam and GoG. So to start I've decided to play all my GoG games first (as that is still within reach). I've promised myself not to buy any more games untill all my GoG games are either completed or marked "did not finish" due to it not being my thing.

Best split-screen PC games with controller support (beehaw.org)
 

I'm looking for some fun PC games I can play with my wife/nephews. I'm therefore looking for PC games that support split screen with controller support. Any genre, but preferably games that can be played by someone no older than 12. Will be playing them on a ROG Ally connected to a TV with xbox controllers. Interested in any genre.

ASUS ROG Ally Updated Review (30 Days Later) (www.youtube.com)
 

Retro Game Corps has just posted a 30 day review of the Ally. As someone who has pre-ordered I found it quite interesting. As expected, the major down side to this device is the battery. Fortunately, my main reason for purchasing this is to do some gaming on my commute to work. As I'm only on the subway for 25 min, this should cover my needs perfectly, regardless of the game I play.

Games like the original Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon (beehaw.org)

Wondering if there are any good games out there which play like the original Rainbow Six/Ghost Recon games. Games where tactics are completely necessary to survive, and one shot will kill you.

Only looking for single player experiences.
