The Zelda OLED Switch I ordered directly from Nintendo came in today. Just transfering my saves over now! I was very hesitant to get a new Switch with it being on its way out but my original one was on its last legs, and there's still a number of games I urgently want to play.

My Switch more or less bricked itself recently. It has the blue screen of death issue where apparently the APU is coming off the board. I'm sort of sad because I REALLY want to play Metroid Prime remaster and the new Mario Kart DLCs.

So many roles left out.
Engineer, gameplay programmer, rigger, animator, lighting artist, technical artist, character artist, weapon artist, environment artist gameplay designer, level designer, concept artist, audio engineer, music composer, quality assurance, QA engineer, effects artist, creative directors, producers.

That's not even including the whole business class and support roles, like accountants and IT.

I haven't shared anything in a while! I don't display very many games in my home. I just have this one shelf. I swap out the items in one of the cells once a month to keep things fresh. This is what it currently looks like.

Frankly just going to delete my account. It's gotten ridiculous.

Deleting your account because a small amount of entries have numbers in their title is certainly not ridiculous though.

You can have your idiosyncrasies and I can have mine 

It's also more than just this issue i have a beef with.

I despise all the extra goofy numbers added to the end. And yes, you are assigning numbers to peoples collections retroactively. it makes no sense. I might have willingly added Super Mario Bros 3 years ago but how does the staff know what version number I have?  Couldn't someone just add the extra numbers on their "notes?" You are allowed to add more than one copy of a game to your database after all.

Hydro Thunder is my favorite.

Dude yeah! Same.
I also like the Mario Kart arcade games too. They're not the best but its kinda interesting to see Mario kart made by a different developer.
