Didn't like the games, but Pedro Pascal as Joel and Lyanna Mormont as Ellie make for inspired TLOU casting.

If it wasn't for Kevin Hart I might actually have hope that this could be decent.

Valheim. Looks like something I could get into.

As I'm poking around PS Now and finding myself random games to play for an hour or a night or whatever (like I did for a year with Xbox too), it's made me more and more annoyed that my Switch has collected dust for almost two years.

+1 despite your poor taste in games.

I was so obsessed when I first got it; I thought I wanted everything on Switch. There's still games I like for it every so often. But yeah, absolutely my least-played platform now.

Same. Just the other day I realized I have about 5 games for the Switch that I haven't even installed yet. My daughter still plays it like every day, just Minecraft though.

The Switch isn’t bad, but for whatever reason the game well dried up fast once the pandemic became a thing. Since Animal Crossing came out there hasn’t been anything super big and new besides remasters/re-releases. Compare that to 2019 when Nintendo slayed with Mario Maker 2, Fire Emblem, Zelda: Link’s Awakening, Astral Chain, Luigi’s Mansion 3, and Pokémon along with smaller exclusives like Cadence of Hyrule and Teris 99 and a timed exclusive on Dragon Quest XI S.

I just want Mario Odyssey 2 tbh. It's my Mario machine and that's fine. I just want a sequel now.

Still haven't played Enter the Gungeon? 200 guns you can pick and secrets upon secrets to find.

It's the Bullet Hell genre. Outside of something like Hard Corps: Uprising (which I love the hell out of), I really don't like it.

Played Foregone for a couple hours now and I like it a lot. Hard, but not unfair at all.

Not a fan of Pascal as Joel at all. I can't shake Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.

Just finished all of the locations in Hitman 3. I played Hitman such a long time ago that I don't really remember all of the locations but I definitely preferred the locations in Hitman 2 over 3. Also a few too many twists and turns in the Hitman 3 story, I was actually confused by the last few missions and wasn't quite sure what was happening.

Valheim looks like good fun, I'll probably pick that up soon.

Ohhhhhhh now that you mention it, that's a good eye for casting (based on looks alone - I think Pascal may actually be able to capture the accent better than Nikolaj).

I think my mouse is starting to go. I don't have use for many of the features of this one anymore, and am curious to get more of a (non-crazy) gaming mouse. Wireless with an adapter is greatly preferred. Any suggestions or favorites from anyone?
