I'm honestly glad I didn't bother watching this year. Kinda just forgot about it as it started and went and saw Godzilla Minus One. After reading about its reception I think I'd made the better choice.

S0undTV is a good app for Twitch if you have an android TV device. No ads and support for the emotes if you like having the chat up. You've got to login to twitch through the app though to start watching. It's broken before and had ads play, but gets fixed within a few days. Lastly there is a delay compared to desktop. If that'll be a deal breaker.
Best of luck to everyone that wanted one! Especially the limited edition one. I'll be waiting for a steam deck 2 or something. Already got the top LCD model w/ hall effect joysticks and dbrands' Clone of the Kingdom on mine.
Just gonna list a few.
Xenoblade Chronicles (1 & X): haven't gotten around to the others yet.
Final Fantasy XIV & XVI: Soken is a god
Mass Effect
Legend of Dragoon
Yeah, that's where I was going with it. Thought about breaking it into two separate sentences. But in my head it seemed weird to state "hardware upgrade and cartridge shape" separately. Probably should've thought for clarity.
I see them pulling a DS to 3DS jump. Better hardware and the cartridge is different shaped to prevent the games being played on the DS. Just in switch form this go around.
EDF! EDF! EDF!
Should've used a grapefruit.
Thunder as well.
Same here. I used Joey when on Reddit and connect has the closest feel. Only thing I'm personally missing that none of them, to my knowledge/looking, have is tapping to upvote (2 taps) and downvote (3 taps). Gestures aren't bad it's just personally annoying on a larger phone with one hand.
I could just be dumb, but I hope that it'll still use the switch cartridge. Like how they did it with the DS line up until the 3DS when they changed it. I could see them potentially doing that too. If it does I'll finally jailbreak my OG switch with the tegra exploit. Just been too much of a scaredy cat to do it.
GoG isn't terrible, but is a little bit of a pain with Linux. They don't have native support with the desktop client. Although, there are things like "Heroic Launcher" and "Lutris" that work well as a substitute. Granted most of my experience with those are on my Steam Deck. And it just caused too much pain to get CP2077 working for me. That I got it again on Steam when it went on sale.
