QuoteI need new music recs,

recently been into bossa nova, some easy listening shiet from the 1950s (henry mancini and ppl doing covers of real old stuff)

and then I go back and forth with game osts, 2008-2013 math rock/emo/punk/showgaze/w/e, 2011-2018 ironic hop, jpn jazz fusion stuff like round table (w/ nino). really have not evolved tastes beyond 2020, I just keep finding older music I like.

check this out Simply Faboo by Gentle People

i think of kax everytime i see this short lmao

also unfortunately i kind of saw this coming as we were already having an issue with many third party developers only including parts of a release on the phys switch cartridge, with the rest being required to download

actually now that i think about it, youre right. did happen with some of those collection games (mmx specifically in my case). if limited like that, I wouldn't mind too much ig.
also, sort of thought the pseudo phy stuff was gonna be all games, but guess I didn't process it better lol

guess at this point my dislike is more with the pricing and how nintendo defends it for now, and ig just their direction in general with certain games like pkmn.

i just want a switch that doesnt run 80% of its games like dog balls


granted it might end up costing $900 in the US, so maybe not lol

thankfully it's now confirmed to be about $450, the mayrio kart one being $500
but yes, running smoother would get me on board.

the thing is, I rarely play single player games nowadays. It'd just be more of a smash station for me, with a few extras lol

while I agree that doing this at all fucking sucks, we already know that this is only for some games. if i had to guess, it is likely going to be taken advantage of by third parties to cut costs, as nintendo's insistence on using these SD cards costs developers a lot of extra money. the cards are a lot more expensive to manufacture than blu ray discs, from what I understand

afaik the only ones confirmed to be getting this "fake" phys release on launch are street fighter 6 and the bravely default remaster. definitely sucks for the latter.

one thing to keep in mind though is that even that could still get a proper phys release in some regions. its been common for the past decade for some things, like more niche releases, to only release digitally in the west but get phys versions with english on them in japan, s korea, or just general asian region releases. play-asia has been a godsend for this

also unfortunately i kind of saw this coming as we were already having an issue with many third party developers only including parts of a release on the phys switch cartridge, with the rest being required to download

it all sucks for sure! and nintendo's reliance on these cards is most likely the main culprit lol
