I remember my very conservative grandparents getting upset about the prospect of this. They claimed that if servers made a high wage and didn't get tips that it would lessen their quality of work. They also called it "socialism"

Not surprised anyone would be upset. You just can't reason with folks that the effort of work can very much depend on the wage. Someone making minimum wage versus someone making $30 per hour should not be expected to put the same effort in.

I think there are some people who get out of touch due to things like kids or work and it was just seen as something you grow out of. But I think people generally have more of a work/life balance now. And they also realize that you can play games with kids when they are old enough.

I know for me personally, what will most likely happen is that I will always love and cherish video games as an artform no matter what. What will change is the amount of time I have to play.

As long as you are still enjoying gaming. Keep going!

This band is incredibly consistent. I love how the guitar work is so heavy because the singer basically learned guitar from a metalhead (at least I think that is the reason he gave).

I'm hopeful that this will be a strong showing for RPGs. Even if the 2D Mario rumors prove true. Their holiday season still sounds like it could be light. But it would be a good opportunity to for FFT remaster, DQ3 2D-HD, or some other RPG to show up. Persona 3 Remake has an unlisted video that lists Switch even though the updated press release excluded it. So that might show up here too. I've seen some speculation about F-Zero being back or a Paper Mario TTYD remaster coming. But while I'm not saying it is impossible. I just really don't want to get my hopes up too much.

If we see anything longer than 30 seconds for Everybody 1-2 Switch, this thing will be doomed.

This is incredible work! The Vita was a gem. I'm glad MVG made a video showing the progress. I had not been keeping up with the progress.

I thankfully still have my Vita and it is modded and working. But there are some games unfortunately stuck on that thing.

Mostly relaxing games like Unpacking to kill time while I wait for FFXVI. I'm afraid of committing to other games at this point. Though I think I might get back into Vampire Survivors to help kill time too though.

Arkham Collection as a whole is worthwhile purchase IMO. It nails the mood and atmosphere of Gotham. While emphasizing on Batman's ability as a detective as an important factor to the gameplay.

Arkham City is a sequel to Arkham Asylum. I say go in order.

Protest the Hero was my first concert. Saw them with The Number Twelve Looks Like You and Misery Signals. Was an amazing time for a 16 year-old.

Jesus, that was over 14 years ago...

This, it's so relaxing and satisfying.

Also would add Unpacking as well.

That was informative. Thank you! It makes me actually want to experiment. It sounds like the best results are on Sonoma. But I've heard some of the glitches with the software are not in a tolerable state yet. But I'll try the beta when it goes public or when I feel confident about the stability.
