Also, I will say... I think the Switch 2 had a pretty great year.  Now with the cost of all other consoles skyrocketing, my bet is that the Switch 2 adoption will also start to jump. 

The Switch 1 sales have significantly decreased.  However, even after the price hike of Nintendo Switch 2, sales have increased.  At this point - Nintendo Switch 2 (outside Switch 1) is the cheapest console, I believe.

@targetrasp  - LOL don't you call me out on catching up.  But you're right!  And that means there weren't that many achievements added.  The last DLC drop though was 2024... right?  Next DLC release is going to be late this year - Dec 2026.

We should get a 4 player Brotato session going soon!

I hear you @targetrasp  I miss those days lol.  On this 2026 Steam Summer sale, I was able to get Overload for about $7-8 (I think it was), so I ended up pulling the trigger as I've been looking for a Descent style game.  ANNNDDD so far it's in the backlog.

And ... frickin Brotato... we need to try that 4 player lol.

I just saw yesterday some inside leak was saying just the hardware to build the ps6 is $1000 to purchase today. That's not marketing, assembly, packaging, etc. Couple that with executives saying things like console's install base is too large to merit having a system being a loss leader, and I think we're proper $%*#)@

@mastermario Speaking of Creed's Greatest Hits and A Camaro

Prime Sale had a lot of CDs that came with auto rip for cheap: I bought Van Halen, GNR Greatest Hits, Limp Bizkit Chocolate Starfish, Rage Against the Machine XX and Evil Empire, Metallica Ride the Lightning, Led Zeppelin 2, and a Vinyl Limp Bizkit Significant Other, as well as Creed's Greatest hits! All of which replaced a cd case that was stolen out of my CAMARO my sophomore year at UNC-Asheville!

Seems like there's either a plethora of new old stock cds or they're pressing discs again, Amazon seems to run some pretty cheap deals. I also think I've seen some at walmart lately. With all this uncertainty with streaming concerning licensing, maybe there'll be a resurgence in physical music again. I know vinyl is making a comeback and gen z has been fishing thrift stores for everything from cassettes to vinyl as well.

Yes, Steam showed 98% after the DLC dropped. I finally did just hit 100% again.

The two missing cheevies were for beating Nightmare difficulty and winning a run with Wounded (Both new to the DLC, and Nightmare win unlocks Wounded). Devs said Nightmare is not meant to be the standard, just an insane difficulty meant to be something very hard to beat. The wounded character dies in one hit. Nightmare took me days to beat, wounded took 3 tries.

Now we just need more DLC, and Blue to catch up

My son turned 16 on Saturday so I spent all Saturday doing Birthday stuff and I spent most of Sunday in recovery. A few dads at a trampoline park not jumping can drink some beers

Steam sales of the past have absolutely spoiled me price wise, and I took advantage. Lots of AAA games for about 5 bucks and many I've yet to play.

 With such a backlog, I now try to temper myself. If something is $5.00 and under and it looks like something I may play, I'm likely to pick it otherwise I'll wait.

I do want Baulders Gate 3 and Clair Obscura: Expedition 33 and would probably put them to the top of my list of things to play but they're $40 and $45 right now. If they were discounted to $20, I'd partake.

I would be fodder in Doom multiplayer but it sounds like a blast
