Usually this. Sometimes I'll dabble in a BBQ-sauce or even a mayo if I'm feeling crazy. About 80 % of the time though it's just mustard and ketchup.

I can't remember the last time a game has grabbed me this quickly and completely. Having a blast so far.

Just a quick question. There's no way to fuse things with your bow, right? I mean you can fuse things to your arrows, but I found some spiky bows and was wondering if I should also be fusing stuff to the bow somehow.

I've really started to appreciate that I had a chance to grow up with, what subjectively to me seems like, the golden age of games media. While I was too young for the early years of Nintendo Power, I had a chance to experience years of games magazines before there was any sort of coverage on the internet or TV. Then, years of GameSpot live streams, video reviews, podcasts and E3 reports. G4, 1UP Show, IGN, GameTrailers, Giant Bomb and finally the dawn of streamer culture.

And yes, it's easy to look fondly back at the golden years at my age and shake a fist at how the new kids are doing it. It's not all bad now. There's a much wider array of opinions, backgrounds and personalities represented among the streamers out there. Everyone can find someone who caters for their specific needs and preferences. Information is much easier to access and overall, the average consumer is probably better informed.

Then again, these focused streamers serving specific wants and needs doesn't seem to progress the discourse around games. It's why I haven't really followed Jeff after his departure from Giant Bomb. I'd rather hear what a few people have to say about a game or a story, rather than a single person having a predictable monologue of their opinions on a subject. Luckily the likes of Nextlander, Fire Escape, and until now Waypoint, have catered to this need.

This looks terrible. Like @borgmaster said, just an extra long ad for the game. I could see a way to make this story into something interesting, but I just can't find anything good to say about what I'm seeing here. I actually enjoy this franchise, but it feels like trying to combine the subdued and very specific aesthetics of the games with a dramatic and rough racing story is like mixing water with engine oil.

At a TC gig at the now dead Playground club in Helsinki things were getting very hectic at the front of the crowd where I was being slammed into the DJ-booth by other people dancing. It's all good I'm used to it, but TC saw this and pulled me into the DJ booth to chill with him and his crew. We shared a smoke while I watched the condensed sweat drip from the low ceiling onto the DJ equipment, us and the crowd. That was a good night.

I used to finish most of the games I bought and started playing, but with Game Pass and other services like it I find myself dabbling a lot more and only finishing what really draws me in.

@ginormous76: Totally fair questions, but like I said in the post, the regular Switch is just too big to carry around most of the times. It never felt like a natural handheld for me. A smaller and cheaper Switch Lite seems like something I could easily throw in a bag for the weekend or even just a longer bus ride.

I haven't used my Switch much in the last couple of years, but with that new Zelda and Advance Wars coming out this spring there's finally exclusive content coming to the platform I'm looking forward to. However Switch games look crummy on a 4K TV, especially compared to modern Xbox and PlayStation games, so I often find it hard to spend time on Nintendo games at home when I have huge backlogs of great games on those more contemporary platforms.

This has led me to an abnormal plan. What if I bought a Switch Lite and tried to play those games as handheld exclusives? I haven't really played handheld games at home since the PSP, but with spring and summer coming up maybe I'd find the time to play handheld stuff while camping, traveling and so on.

I'd still like to keep my regular Switch for the TV stuff, but since a used Switch Lite can now be bought used for around 100 euros I don't mind the extra expense. I guess the other plan would be to upgrade to a Swith OLED, but the full-size Switch tends to be a bit too large for me to comfortably throw in whatever bag I'm traveling with. I know that this might be the worst time to invest in new Switch hardware with the next console likely coming out next year, but I don't want to wait a full year to play that Zelda.

OK long preamble, but what I'd like to hear is any and all experiences from you duders on the Switch Lite.

• Is the lack of rumble a distraction?
• Does the console feel considerably smaller than the regular Switch while traveling?
• Does the smaller screen help the 720p resolution look a bit better?
• Are cloud saves somewhat of a standard now, so that I could switch between playing on my two Switches?

I haven't played one of these since Bioshock Infinite and I find the Soviet aesthetic far more interesting than the americana of Columbia. After about 4 hours I'm having fun despite a myriad of bugs and a lot of overall graphical and gameplay jank. The looting mechanic is great as is the visual design and soundtrack.

My biggest frustration is with the terrible English acting as well as the tiny and sporadic subtitle implementation. I've been trying to play the game in Russian, but a lot of the subtitles are too small to read and sometimes subtitles don't appear at all. This has led me to play it in English audio which is embarrassingly poorly voiced and overall detracts from the immersion.

I'm liking the show a lot and don't mind that it follows the game so closely because it's been such a long time since the first game came out. Hopefully they'll put out more side stories in the style of episode 3.

It's actually been interesting to have a thing to look forward to being released each week. Recently I've mostly been watching entire seasons of older shows and haven't been a part of that zeitgeisty weekly release schedule since Game of Thrones.
