Questions from Discord: 


(Our peeps are playing games on Discord.)



Joe:  I am still chipping away at tears of kingdom ( I know I know ) and playing mass effect off and on. (edited)


Brasop: still wakes the deep on gamepass which I thought was excellent and only a few short-comings. Tomb raider trilogy remastered - just finished the first two games and about to start the third. Love the original series, classic childhood games of mine. My brother recommended the two Ori games so I've just started the first one of those and after a pretty slow opening its now really good, love the movement and speed of the main character. Also went back and finally finished the Doom 3 expansion Resurrection of Evil after nearly 20 years. I remember getting half life 2 and doom 3 in 2004, that was a special time. Anyway, cheers all


Brydude: I’ve been doing a new game plus run of persona 3 reload and also started playing Jedi survivor and another crabs treasure. whenever it’s multiplayer with my buds, we usually play Fortnite, or overwatch


Beavis Christ: Only the best, baby. DKC Tropical Freeze, FF6, Sekiro



Brasop - do you have a game you go back to and replay all the time, not necessarily a favourite game but a comfort game, that you can play and without worrying too much about it because you're so comfortable with it. Mine might be Giants Citizen Kabuto on PC, I can breeze through that without thinking too much and love it. Has a great sense of humour and well worth checking out if you've never seen it before

Questions from Discord: 


Brasop: Would you want Nintendo to upgrade their Switch online service for the Switch 2 to something closer to the psn+ and xbox game pass model?  Nintendo games hold their value so well and rarely go on sale, or if they do its 20% of  3 years later. How good would it be to get first party games day one like game pass, or maybe a couple years down the track like psn+. I would drop my subscription of the other consoles if Nintendo expanded their subscription service to include newer/current games....


Joe: What are your favorite types of side quests or mini games within games? For example, fishing or gambling, etc.
