If it's a whole new console in the Xbox line, I think a handheld would be a good idea. Sony and obviously Nintendo have hit the handheld market. Nintendo did it 30+ years ago. Sony had mild success with the PSP and PSVita. Sega had it's handheld consoles, those being the Game Gear and Sega Nomad. So pretty much every game console that has hit the market has had some form of run with a handheld, except Xbox. Of the ones that saw some form of success and became a major contender in the console market anyway. So I'm all for an Xbox handheld. If it's not, and is a home console, then I think it's just too goddamn soon to be worrying about a new console. Give the X/S some time to be enjoyed before forcing people to "upgrade" their consoles.

I must admit, I was surprised to see South Park make this list. The rest I understand, especially Hatred. I play Hatred a lot, and know firsthand how violent it is and why it would be a controversy. One game that I honestly expected to be on that list is Kill The Faggot. I was waiting for that one to come up, but there was no mention of it that I could see. Some of these games should never have been made, or even considered being made. Fuck free speech, and fuck your candyass snowflake feelings. Take your head out of your ass, grow a goddamn brain, and quit making shit like Kill The Faggot and Super Columbine Massacre.

Do ROM-hacks and fan made games count? If so then, yes. I have abandoned a game due to its difficulty. It is cruelly difficult. I played it for more than 6 years and was only lucky enough to make it to the third dungeon. It was a Zelda ROM-hack called Goddess Of Wisdom. I'll never play it again. And of the 3 ROM-hacks on SNES, it's not even listed as the hardest one. It's often classed as the easiest of the three. I will always hold the belief that the ones who made it fully intended for it to not be beaten. They made an unwinnable game.

I want to see a remaster and remake of RDR1. I know it came out on PS3, but they have done remakes of much older games. Up the graphics and battle system to match that of RDR2. I have both games for PS4 (somewhere around here we have the PS3 copy of RDR1), but I would love to see a polished version of RDR1 come out.

There two game that I have mastered (personal opinion) and only one of the two has lost much of its allure. That's because I can say factually that I know literally everything about the game. The other, while I have an encyclopedic knowledge about the game, I'm still finding new things and enjoying the hell out of.

RDR2 had a horrible ending. It leaves you with an empty feeling. Like something vital is missing, and truth be told, there actually is something missing. I absolutely love the game, but the ending is something I don't go for much anymore.

To me a masterpiece is often the first inception of a game. Sequels can easily ruin a franchise if they're not done correctly. For example, just look at Zelda II. My personal criteria for a masterpiece will most likely not match anyone else's. The period the game came out is a big portion of that. Can you imagine SMB1 being revealed on switch, as opposed to when it came with the NES? Can you imagine them trying to release RDR2 or GTAV on the Virtual Boy? Timing is just about everything with when a game can be in the running for the "masterpiece" label. All the other things come second, third, fourth, etc.

Here stateside, I think most would agree with me when I say that Best Buy is just about the best place for prebuilt gaming PC's. You could try talking to Geek Squad if you go there and see if they will build a custom PC or not. I've never looked into it as I'm happy with what I've got. Whether or not they will is most likely going to vary from store to store, so you may have to just try multiple stores if you decide to go the Best Buy route. Good luck.

I remember those things. Those of us who couldn't afford a Game Boy thought we were hot shit when we got one of those. We just had to replace them after turning it on for the first time as the goddamn screen would break.

I've bought from both Temu and Wish, and I've never had a problem with anything that I have gotten from either one. I'm not familiar with aliexpress, so I can't comment on either of them. But Temu and Wish are both credible to me. I got a pair of boots that I had been searching for for more than a year off Wish. So I'll vouch for both sites.

The cables that came with the classic systems work just fine. I have mine hooked up to an HDTV, and have no issues.

Heavily prefer alone. I've had roommates in the past, and hated it. No privacy, no personal space, and having to listen to everyone watching TV or talking when you're trying to sleep. So if given the option, I wouldn't hesitate to go it alone.

My first paid job was at a flower farm. Moving the plants around and unloading them from trucks. I was 14 and it paid $50 per week. It wasn't a W2 kind of job. That one came when I was 16 and I got a job at Pizza Hut.

Mine is sourdough. I love it. It's the best for cold sandwiches. Bologna and cheese is one of my personal favorites. It also makes AWESOME toast. I can just sit back and eat a bag of it plain. It's just the best in my opinion. So what's yours?

Nintendo went above and beyond with the Switch, so I definitely agree that it should be the standard. A handheld PS system would have to allow everything. They would have to have the PS store available on it for DDL's. They would have to have contracts with things like streaming services. The Switch originally had contracts with YouTube, Netflix, and HULU. Their contract with Netflix expired, but they still have the other two. So if Sony wants to compete with that, they're going to have to offer streaming services on their handheld as well. They will have to include all their Sony exclusives, like God Of War as well. Every game they can find to compete from major developers to indie games. It all has to be available on there. Switch has tens of thousands of games in their arsenal. The majority of them being in the store. Pop a high capacity microSD card in there and you can go wild. I have a 512g in mine right now, and 130 DDL's plus almost 30 carts. So if Sony can't match something like that, they would be better off leaving a handheld in the realm of "maybe".

Currently, I have an iPhone 12 pro. I should have gotten the max due to how big my hands are, but for some reason didn't.

Something I have tried that tastes amazing, is something most people would never suspect. Seaweed It's somewhat like spinach, but if you can find some, I highly recommend buying it. Especially if you're a spinach person.

Mainstream music is pure shit all around. There are occasionally a mainstream band that is actually good, but ever since the 80's ended those bands are few and far between. I have to admit that my all time favorite band is a bit mainstream. My favorite is Disturbed, with Linkin Park damn near tied with them. Everything else in my collection is underground.

I've played BOTW a bit, but I'm not a fan. Yet. I'm trying to give it as much of a chance as I can. The graphics are a little bit cartooney for my taste, especially after the beauty of Twilight Princess. My biggest gripe with is is that rupees are extremely rare. With FF, I highly recommend FF8. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I love it and wholeheartedly thing others will. It's a bit boring in what would be the first disc era, but after you fight Edea in Deling City, the game really picks up. I've always considered disc 1 more of a training and learning phase for the rest of the game. If you want, I can give you a lot of pointers. I know how to virtually make my characters invincible just by junctioning magic. I can also help you find every GF, and some rare items.

If you want to permanently make the horse yours, all you have to do is put your saddle on it after you break it. That instantly puts you at level 1 bonding with the horse, which makes it as much yours as any horse you would get at the stables. When I go for an Arabian, as soon as I break the horse, I put my saddle on it. That way if it does throw me due to a predator I don't lose it forever, I can just call it, and it will come running back to me. At the moment, I have 3 horses. The white Arabian, the red chestnut Arabian, and the perlino Andalusian. In case you're wondering what the hell perlino is, here's a pic of a perlino Andalusian.

I've done that. It actually tastes really good. But would you believe me that I put hot sauce on hot sauce? For example, I love buffalo wings. But I always put hot sauce on them. I've put hot sauce on things like cake and cereal. I add hot sauce to my salsa. To put it simply, if you ain't sweatin', you ain't eatin'.

I really wish some of my friends were into RDR2. I would love to sit back and watch them play and give them pointers wherever I can. I occasionally do that with @Rain Dew but not too often.

Also, you can't really compare the two, due to their setting. RDR2 is set in 1899, while GTA5 is set in present day. So for the simple reason of the technology available to the characters, there's not a fair way to compare them. We may as well compare Zelda to Metroid, or NFS to FIFA.

Mine is the original Switch, and although I have the option of docking it, I just keep it handheld. The games I mostly play are FF8, Link's Awakening, Layers Of Fear, and AVGN I & II. I have 130 DDL's an 20-something carts, so I have no shortage on that system. But either way, It's an awesome setup. You could mention games like Link's Awakening to them if they're into fantasy games like that. I think they would really enjoy it. But be warned, it's a hell of a lot harder to steal from the town shop in the Switch version than it is on the Game Boy.
