mikewhy posted a message in the forum topic On the Switch's 4th birthday I think it has been a really good console but also a disappointment in a number of ways.. on the Nintendo Switch board Mar 4, 4:30pm

mikewhy posted a message in the forum topic So you want an Arcade Machine?. on the General Discussion board Feb 20, 12:51pm

mikewhy posted a message in the forum topic How does everyone feel about Wandavision and the "NEW" idea of a slow burn, streaming without binge. on the General Discussion board Feb 2, 12:25pm

I'm not huge into the MCU, but am watching WandaVision. I welcome the return to TV-ass-TV with a week between episodes. Especially with this show, how mystery is core to the thing. Leaves a lot of roo...

@y2ken: games from GamePass / the MS store often only support Xbox controllers. It sucks for us, but it's a sane decision from the devs.You can use ds4windows, or glosc + Steam to get the games to see...
