If you’re a weirdo like me and insist on having physical for Switch games or whatever, this is a better deal than the $100 I paid for an Asian copy of this. Still gotta start Final Fantasy 3, get started on that halfway point…

Plus you get stickers! I didn’t get stickers!

is it worth it?

I played it a bit after getting it for free* for Prime Day

the videogame part seems perfectly fine aside from the fact that they clearly made a loot treadmill and had to tear it out and rebalance the entire game

the narrative part seemed miserable

If the narrative is misrible in a big cape-shit well anything, then I’m gone or bitching about it until I hit the grave. So I’ll pass.

Tom Chick’s review at quartertothree made it sound like a pretty good game mechanically. I’d probably bite for a fiver. It’s currently $14 on Xbox which still feels like too much to me.

If you ever wanted to fuck around with Linux and mod a thing into a retro console that I think maybe just barely plays PS2 games, the time is now for $80.

Okay, okay, I’ll buy Expeditions if you’re going to go and drop the price to $15.

Air Twister was 1100 yen on J-PSN.

Note there are two sales right now on PSN the Black Friday Sale for full priced shit and then the Additional Sales where you find stuff like Air Twister and alot of the Cotton ports

Once again an opportunity to delete stuff from my wishlist when I realize that even a 50% discount won’t make me bite

I got a notification that Dark Sector was on sale, but it’s actually free, which I won’t argue with.

Will I actually play it this time…maybe.

Edit: Also it’s maybe unwise to get given 1) how easily they’re emulated and 2) financial backing, but those NGPC collections are $5 each.

Those are rookie numbers.

I’ve been good for a long time but I did buy a bunch of stuff because I can play it on the steam deck. I make these decisions with the assumption I will somehow find the time and will to play dozens upon dozens of hours of these games as my 1200 other steam games look upon me with pity and shame.

The process involves sourcing an exotic m2 sata drive as opposed to an nvme one if you’re not just going to boot off of a thumb drive so beware.

I’ll get around to finishing the process with mine this winter I swear
