Ive had every review ive typed deleted for days now because server issues.

Even before the site slowness issues, I've accidentally overwritten post text. To avoid this problem, I've just gotten in the habit of copying the text beforehand just in case it needs to be pasted, and I always draft long posts (particularly ones for the 52 Games Challenge) in a word processor.

This is what I started doing as well. Seems to be the only way.  Because id say its a 9/10 chance I get Server error when I hit post. Today is better but the other 3 days were basically not possible to even access the forums. Usually I refresh and it loads.


Is there a way to remove bots that is being discussed or perhaps fund a larger more strong server upgrade even if we all chip in?  Not speaking for anyone of course. I have no idea the expenses of such a project.   Is it known why the site ran so well in 2016 but not now?  I do hope for the best for not only user but mod sake.

Think I'm gonna trade my PS5 in at Gamestop and put it towards a Switch 2.  I kinda realized I haven't touched it at all this year and while I'm interested in Wolverine and God of War Laufrey coming, those are like one and done games and there's not a ton else.  Compared to Switch 2 where there's a bunch of games I'm interested in picking up and games I'm looking forward too. 

Still not 100%, my PC has had problems lately, which is my main gaming device, not sure what's wrong yet as it's been freezing up when I play higher end games, but my PS5 being a fall back if something happened to my system since certain parts can be absurdly priced nowadays sorta makes me want to keep it just in case.  We'll see I guess.

I think that's a solid plan. I've really grown to love my Switch 2. I have a few games reserved for it, and a few games in the backlog getting ready to be played. I still like my PS5 and play it frequently so I wouldn't trade mine. But, if you're not using yours then it could help get rid of a chunk of the Switch 2's cost.

I wish I played my PS5 more, but most anything I would like to play, I'd rather play on PC, and what that leaves for PS5 isn't a lot when Sony doesn't have a ton of games worth checking out most of the time.  Death Stranding 2 was the last one I played and that was over a year ago, that's how long my PS5 hadn't been touched lol I'm trying to see if I can keep my PS5 just so I can finish out whatever the run is for the PS5 before most likely not getting a PS6, this would be the end of my Sony run probably, that way the couple games that may show up I can still play.

I think that's how I would approach the situation were it me. but I suppose it really just depends on how long you're willing to wait to play the Switch 2 titles you're interested in. With that said, what all are you interested in playing for Switch 2?

Only partially informed by the recent Sony announcements (and more inspired by a lack of space) I am also planning on unloading some things from my collection.  Mostly things like extraneous duplicates, peripherals or adapters I have no real use for anymore, or games that I just really don't care about.

Not getting out of the hobby, just doing some downsizing stuff across the board.

Are you gonna post here at all on what you're selling? If so I might be interested in buying!

I plan to, just gotta get organized first.

There's actually a lot I'm interested to check out that is released at the moment. Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, Star Fox, Pokopia, I was maybe interested in Splatoon Raiders as it looked like it had a cooler singleplayer component than previous games.  Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment was another, I wanted to replay Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and there's a couple Switch 1 games that came out towards its end that I never got to play that I think even have Switch 2 versions like Super Mario Wonder.  And then there's the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake which is a big deal for me personally. 

With Nintendo, I can better guarantee more games I'm interested in than like the one or two Sony puts out since they just don't really do much with like AA level games that much these days.  All these properties they have access too and they aren't doing anything with them.  No Twisted Metal, no Jak & Daxter, nothing with Bloodborne, no Kill Zone, so much stuff they could probably just get with another studio on to make, put out some stuff with reasonable budgeted games, but nah...Chasing the live service dragon mattered so much more and it bit them in the ass.
