Hosting a LAN session of #FactorioSpaceAge on my PC, then joining from my #Switch2. Doing this, I’ll be able to save this map and build onto my Switch2 edition and share Game Blueprints. Works in both directions apparently 👌😎

@Flexyooo Gens on Switch is far too dumbed down for my liking. Was it a different port team, or did Gens' overhead of Global Illumination, if that even made it into the Switch version, cause such compromises in world richness?!

For comparison: WRC Generations on Switch 2 handheld (boost mode) same Rally event! ℹ️

Switch 2 Handheld boost (beast) mode test marathon - fifth #NintendoSwitch game on my list #WRC8. Result ---> I'm shocked! 🤩 I'm seriously shocked! It nearly could come through as a legit #Switch2 release. Sharp and high quality textures. Trees could look a tad better tho!

@SpawnYaardReply Right. Some games play so nicely, that a story/narrative is not a requirement. We find our engagement through agency in the game/world and the sensations they may engender in us.

Why are people saying Elden Ring doesn't have a good story or all Soulslike games don't have a story? You know stories are not just told through cut scenes, right?

@JBishie I'm not sure this will be popular among many PC gamers... We all saw the rejection on Steam of having to have and link up a PS account, which led Sony to backtrack on that idea. I just don't think many of Sony 1st Party games, appeal all that much to many PC gamers 🤷

Once Sony launches a PC storefront, it becomes a participant in the PC distribution market. If it then prevents that storefront from running on a Windows‑class device like Project Helix, it risks being accused of leveraging its console position to distort a separate market. Those are exactly the harms regulators cite when they intervene in digital platform cases.

@Relic_cileR I prefer the original, but this is good. The Switch version is a bit jarring, with it's decimated animations of the enemy hordes when non-too-distant; Devs cut back for the poor old Switch version, hence why I pestered them on Steam for a Switch 2 Edition.

@Psiphor Every time I see DD my brain automatically goes to Dragons Dogma 😂… I was like Co-op!? Wth he…. OHHHHH Dungeon Defenders 😂 I’m gonna check out the Switch version for sure!

#HandheldModeBoost #DungeonDefendersAwakened . higher res, noticeably on distant geometry/textures I recently reached out to the community-dev-team on Steam (Where they continue to push updates to that version) re: A Switch 2 Ed ‘No plans but would like to’ came their reply. 🤞

So who's been sucked in by the latest #SteamSpringSale? I've browsed, but so far managed to resist buying🤑

@Relic_cileR Oh, I have a few hundred hours in the 1st DD game, and a couple-o-ks in DD2. The first played co-op with my brother and his girl, that latter, I spent most of my time, buddying up with a guy that turned out to be in Canada.. I had some late nights then, let me tell ya!

@Psiphor Nice! I remember playing the first game back in PS3. Was a fun time!

@Relic_cileR Yes. In fact, I backed the original Kickstarter for the game and got 4 Keys for it - 2 PC, 2 Switch (1 on of which, I gifted to a work colleague, who'd kindly brought his then-new-Switch in to let me see/try MK8 in early 2017), plus a t-shirt, as I recall.

@Psiphor I had no idea this was on Switch! 🤯

Either of you got the Arkham Trilogy? I could never bring myself to double-dip. I've seen one tuber playing a bit of 'Knight', gliding and driving around... Looked smooth enough. Though I heard in the last couple of months, the game had been updated slightly and peeps reporting that had improved it somewhat🤔

@Psiphor @Flexyooo Better aliasing, sharper and more detailed. Looks clean now in handheld. Now for a frame rate boost 🍻

#NintendoSwitch2 handheld boost (beast) mode test marathon just started! 🏁 First #NintendoSwitch game on my list been #CruisnBlast 🔥 Result ---> Big YES!! Looks much better, finer, smoother! 👍

@M1TCH80 @Flexyooo On YouTube, some of the more dimwitted tubers are producing vids (Among their testing of actual S1 games) with titles such as 'RE Requiem with Handheld Boost Mode'😂

@Psiphor @Flexyooo Wreckfest is a huge improvement looks very nice, also wrc9🍻

@PacboySlim Thx for the info. I think Steredenn has me covered.👍

@Psiphor Steredenn is so awesome! This one is decent and enjoyable but not on the same level.

I started Rick Henderson. I will keep comparing it with Steredenn but besides that it's a decent game. Not one I will try to finish soon but I wanted to try it and so far I'm enjoying it.

@JazzLikesToGame I hope so too, for the sake of all those who love to have the Physical option.🤞

@Psiphor I do agree with this sentiment. I hope a choice always remains.

I’m of the mind of letting people enjoy games how they prefer them. If they want to have a physical collection & they buy physical copies 👌🏻 If they want an all digital library 👌🏻 I just don’t understand how this affects other people. I do think BOTH should always exist. 🤌🏻

@Flexyooo Great result 👍😎

Switch 2 Handheld boost (beast) mode test marathon - Third #NintendoSwitch game on my list #XenobladeChronicles3. Result ---> It looks good now! 😍 Not as sharp as we're used to with S2 games, but at least the ugliness of the normal handheld mode on the #Switch2 is gone! 🙏

@DigitalSunGames Love to see more support for our wonderful Steam Decks.👍

We made a Moonlighter 2 boot video to show some love to our Steam Deck players 💚 What do you think?

Good day to all my fellow Defenders🔥 #DDA #Gaming

@SWB6gaming I got all fingers-and-thumbs bamboozled, as all Spidey's moves/combos started ramping up. Thus it was, that the game lost me after a couple of hours🤦‍♂️ Another Steam Sale, you say? Oh, my sainted wallet!

Mid-way through a PC replay of Spiderman, and it’s still a really good game (much better than the sequel for me) Death Stranding 2 pre ordered for tomorrow, and also a steam sale starting… and Crimson Desert… 🕸️

Hmm, so with all the online vitriol around DLLS5 at the moment, I'm off to play my comfort and long-time fave game: #Factorio My dilemma: Do I play in sweet, sweet UltraWide, here on my PC, or my ever-so-slightly-lesser-but-still-great #NintendoSwitch2Edition🤔 #Gaming

@Relic_cileR @Flexyooo That's right, their Auto-Upscale/Auto HDR etc. Looks like they're now to go back to double-down on back-compat, too and bring that catalogue to PC 👌

@Psiphor @Flexyooo We can blame Xbox for spoiling me with all the free upgrades they did 😂

#NintendoSwitch2 handheld boost (beast) mode test marathon - Second #NintendoSwitch game on my list #AstralBlade Result ---> Better anti aliasing, but also less sharpness ⚠️I would actually choose non-boost mode for that game (See non-boost mode footage in thread)
