Glad to hear that Wombat is still playing Marvel Snap (it’s certainly the longest I’ve ever played a mobile game for)! I’m curious what his rank is though? Silver, Gold, Platinum, higher? I know he’s played a lot, but is he good? Also what kinda decks is he using?

I was really interested in your discussion of a Switch 2. I'm not really a Nintendo guy, but the Switch is my go to console, since I'm a pilot and mainly get to do my gaming when I travel. I figured when I run out of stuff to play I would pass it on to someone else in my family and get the SteamDeck, but so far I haven't found the end. Zelda was great, of course, but I also ran through most of Outer Worlds (The Switch is not the best choice, it's Spacer's Choice), and my third play through of Skyrim. Currently I'm really having a blast replaying the Witcher, and this is where a Switch 2 with a faster processor would be appreciated for faster load times and responsiveness in menus. I'm probably an edge case Switch owner using it for Wombat style replays of massive open world RPGs that came out ages ago, but the size, battery life, and reliability really hit a sweet spot for me. I AM after all a cheapass, so I stay a generation behind in game releases and wait for a decent sale before buying games.

 

TLDR; the Switch is the traveling CheapAss gamer's console of choice.

 

Which do you guys think will come first- Switch 2 or SteamDeck 2? Will Nintendo ever notice all the adult games in their store? Will there ever be another episode of "Switch Game or Not?" When will the Steam Deck be fleshed out enough to be worth graduating from the Switch?

 

 

Thanks for years and years and years of keeping me entertained!

Tim

Cheapy,

That “for really no reason” stung. I have no real issue with you playing your game.

If you made the decision to play a game that lined the pockets of A well known anti-semite with the rational you were not going to deprive yourself of an experience you were looking forward to, would you dismiss other people’s decision to abstain as for no reason? I think you can enjoy the game and support trans people, but no reason?  (Maybe Anti-Semitism is a bad example due to common complaints about JKR's imagery, but her "gender critical" stance is not subtle in any way. )

I’m a trans listener, the amount of hate and scapegoating in the air is crazy scary right now.

I’ve been ok with your handling of this largely because even though you have been audibly annoyed, you let Wombat talk on your platform.

This one hurt a little for some reason.  


Be well.

Cheapy, a significant amount of shows back, you talked about Tokyo Bananas. I ordered some for my wife for our anniversary, and we devoured them. Now there is one left that has been sitting there for a week because neither of us wants to be the one to eat the last one.

Thanks for mentioning them! 🤤

That had to have been 400 episodes ago and everytime I'm around a Japanese food store I'm always on the lookout. Can you buy them online now? Years ago you couldn't

I purchased them off the website below. Shipping was a bit high, but it’s international, so it’s to be expected. For $40 all in, it seemed worth it for the experience.
