Chat Transcript:
6:51 PMHello Everyone
6:56 PMHey guys! Visiting the US, so it’s actually convenient for me this week
6:56 PMHav u played duke Nukem 3d
6:57 PMIn the Chicago suburbs to see my Mum
6:57 PMWas in the Houston area last week to see my Dad as well
6:58 PMSame with the allergies- mine are a lot worse here than they were in Scotland
6:58 PMthe cold climate there probably leads to fewer allergens
6:58 PMAh, cool cool
6:59 PMwhat do you think of the walmart leaks?
7:00 PMrecharging from games can be a good thing…
7:01 PMOh cool, you found a way to play with them. Did you need to buy another copy of the game?
7:01 PMAh, okay. didn’t know that was a possibility, cool
7:02 PMstardew valley should run on a toaster, that is kind of suprisingf
7:03 PMIt looks like it should, certainly, but maybe it’s not that efficient behind the scenes
7:04 PMtell Andrew to take his time lol…
7:05 PMsup
7:05 PMhave you finished the museum collection? That’s the painful one for me
7:06 PMI’m waiting for the update on Switch, then I plan to go in mostly blind and be surprised
7:06 PMOh wow, nice! Congrats
7:07 PMsometimes spoilers are difficult to avoid
7:07 PMYeah. I’m just avoiding any explicit walkthroughs of the new content. it’s not like there’s one big twist to avoid the spoilage of
7:08 PMwhy first gen is most popular gen
7:11 PMf that, no way will I pay for online saves. I get that for free on steam
7:13 PMcant cloud saves get corrupted?…
7:13 PMMuch less likely than local saves getting corruptes
7:13 PMoh ok
7:13 PMunlikely cloud saves are rarely just saved to 1 server
7:13 PMcloud files usually use multiple backups to check for corruption
7:17 PMSeems reasonable to me. no reason they should have to foot the bill if someone else breaks it
7:20 PMYeah, the legality issue is another big thorn. it boggles the mind that repairing your own electronics could be illegal
7:21 PMmaybe they can franchise their repair centers?…
7:23 PMagreed
7:23 PMdell does that for their stuff
7:24 PMagain I wont pay for cloud saves, I get that dor free on steam
7:24 PMeven ms give cloud saves to non gold members
7:25 PMthe lack of usb backup is the insane part
7:25 PMbad thing for Nintendo is putting ridiculous lack of memory in the Switch then adds cloud saving for a fee…
7:25 PMYeah. I think they’re just worried about cheaters
7:26 PMlocal save backups have a history of being hacked
7:27 PMspoiler alert the switch can already be hacked hiven a hardware cpu bug they cant fix lol
7:28 PMYeah, true. And worries about hacks shouldn’t hurt legitimate consumers
7:29 PMit’s like how only legal viewers of movies have to watch those FBI warnings, or legal players of games have to deal with DRM
7:29 PMnot the next run, the next revision. they would have to swap to a new tegra chip
7:30 PMI think its 3 like every other zelda game, your thinking pokemon
7:31 PMpokemon was always 1 save
7:31 PMZachary flying solo tonight?

7:33 PMIt’s fine I know it’s confusing
7:33 PMthere are roumers ms will drop gold at e3, and convert all gold members to games pass. let people play online for free
7:33 PMYea the whole thing is pretty lackluster so far
7:34 PMYup, looks like he’s gone
7:35 PMcloud save thing bugs me becouse storage is dirt cheap, bandwith isnt, storage is
7:35 PMsmash is almost 100% tpo be day and date with this service
7:36 PMDid you ever get you a Switch yet Zachary?
7:37 PMthey wont do that

7:39 PMneo geo mini looks good…
7:39 PMI think theyre just going to keep making the mini consoles every year

7:44 PMjust leave it with the pc games
7:45 PMDon’t see them Andrew
7:46 PMsounds like another Marvel movie
7:46 PMYes it looks and feels like AVPR
7:49 PMI read on IMDb that jake busey is in the movie and plays Gary busey’s characters son from predator 2.
7:49 PMit was a different race of predators in that one, hence the differe t behavior
