  I bought two packs of Eneloops from Dell in 2007 that are still constantly in use. I haven’t noticed any degradation. I can only imagine how many alkaline batteries these things have replaced.

  I mocked Xbox controllers for years due to them using AA batteries… until I actually started using one with my PC. Now, I wish all controllers used them. It’s vastly more convenient than charging via USB cable.

  Get the Switch OLED. The Switch 2 offers nothing for your family. You think they are going to care that Breath of the Wild is “only” 1080p?

  For the cost of the Switch 2, you can get the OLED plus a library of games. If you haven’t already seen the OLED screen in person, it will blow you away. It makes the S2 screen look like a $200 Walmart TV from 2008

  Cloud saves? I just played the game a month ago (Steam version) and the game has no native cloud saves. Is this an Epic Store thing?

  prove beyond any doubt

  This is a civil case, not criminal. It isn’t a matter of “did they do this”. It’s a matter of “how much are they responsible for this”.

  I went to my local shop’s website. The first game listed is Split Fiction for $70. The game doesn’t even have a cartridge. It’s literally a download code in the box. The PS5/Xbox versions are $65 and are on physical disc.

  Who in their right mind is buying this? $70 for a Hogwart’s Legacy game key card? PS5 is $50 new. PS4 is $30.

  Coincidence that this article is released the same day Rematch hits Game Pass?

  I am willing to bet that people who chose the female main character enjoyed this game more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people gurgling the switch 2 so hard?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “now I can play Zelda at 30 fps or more”

  Tears of the Kingdom is $115 ($130 with tax) in Canada. To go to bat for Nintendo over the Switch 2 pricing is some sort of Stockholm Syndrome. For reference, the Switch 1 version can currently be bought brand new for $70.

  I ain’t paying $120 CAD per game.

  You are correct. If you want Tears of the Kingdom, it is $130 ($115 plus tax). I am stunned that this are the launch price of Switch 2 games. How high will they go in the future?

  The Switch 2 makes even the new ROG Ally X seem like a good deal (assuming it is around $1000 CAD), since you can just play any of your Xbox Play Anywhere games that you have acquired on sale, or have access to via Game Pass. You don’t even need a subscription to access online play, and it has free cloud saves.
