Get this, grab the voucher, pick up Pokémon and Metroid for switch, get the upgrade packs. Boom, you spend less money for the switch 2 versions of both than what it would cost to get the switch 1 versions normally.

I remember how much of an absolute monster this boss fight was for 98% of people when the patch first launched. A lot of people still struggle with doing damage and the mechanics at the same time, but at least it seldom kills people anymore.

Luigi’s mansion 3 is FINALLY available for under $40. I’ve been waiting 6 years for this motherfucker to drop down to $20, but that’s almost certainly not going to happen. So I had to jump on the $30 price Walmart has it for.

Reading that the average American holds onto their phone for only 29 months is crazy to me. The upgrades are so minimal, it takes a good 4-6 years for upgrading to even be worthwhile. My 13 pro max is still going strong. Likely can get another 2 years out of it, easy.

Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it's costing economy
Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever before, and while it may be consumer smart, it comes at a cost to work productivity and the U.S. economy.

While I do believe now is the best time to be a gamer, that’s more so due to the massive historical backlog that gaming has built over several decades and the ease of which that content can be accessed, one way or the other.

Now that I’ve finished Outer Worlds, I think my next two games will be Judgement and Mafia definitive edition.

This is the first time I’ve seen these go on sale for Xbox since the initial relaunch sale several years ago. If you have Xbox, grab these for cheap while you can. They’ve also received the boosts in resolution and framerate.

If you have PS+ already and can’t get the Black Friday deals, try canceling your subscription. Sony may offer you 33% off to stay for another year. Worked for me.

If I could have just a small bit of help, that would be wonderful. My family and I are a wee bit behind on things due to Dad being hospitalized for a week at the beginning of the month. Anything helps! I have PayPal as well, message me for info there!

Ran 8 mentor roulettes today and 5 of them were endgame dungeons, once again. The others were Aurem, Athena, and a guildhest. Mentor roulette is apparently just expert/level cap roulette in disguise on Aether. #FFXIV

To steal a phrase from Expedition 33, Ocarina of Time is the epitome of “for those who come after”. This game laid the groundwork and continues to define what the foundation of a 3D adventure game should be. It’s one of the most important games of all time and certainly in the convo for best.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time released 27 years ago!
Look, I get it. It's been regarded as great so often that it becomes easy to call it "overrated". But I can't praise it enough.
Whether it's my favorite Zelda or not, it's the definitely the one that means the most to me.
Always. ⚔️🛡️

If you’ve been on the fence about getting one, I’d also recommend the Switch 2. It’s far more capable than the original switch and it does improve performance for virtually all switch 1 games. Significantly so, in games with patches.
Don’t mind a little latency? PS portal is a nice alternative.

If you’re a fan of RPGs, I highly suggest grabbing Metaphor, Expedition 33, or Outer Worlds during these Black Friday sales. Ideally all 3, if you don’t have them yet and can afford to get them. They’re legitimately 3 of the greatest games ever made.

My hoodie and shirt came in today from the PlayStation gear shop and they’re honestly higher quality than I expected, although given the original prices, I probably shouldn’t be as surprised as I am. Got the hoodie for $15 and the shirt for $5. Deals are great, but you will have to pay shipping.

I personally couldn’t really get into the game and therefore didn’t enjoy it, but I do think $35 is a great price if it’s a game you think you’d enjoy. This is only the second time I’ve ever seen it this cheap.

Prime example of what I was referring to in my last post. When it comes to sales, it’s extremely common this generation for the physical copies to be $10 cheaper than digital. It’s not particularly rare for that gap to be even larger.

If there’s one thing about console gaming this generation that pisses me straight the fuck off, it’s the price of digital games taking forever to match the sale prices you can find on the physical editions, if they ever do. It’s even more frustrating knowing gaming will go all digital eventually.
