Pretty glad I skipped the current gen consoles - my last one was an Xbox one S. Still have it around to play DVDs and blu ray lol. Steam deck has been the best gaming purchase and I don't see myself going back.
It's a fun game with some nice visuals but for whatever reason I lose interest fairly quickly. Like it's a nice little Saturday afternoon game - I'll have some fun with it and then move on to the next thing. Worth the $5 or so it goes on sale for quite frequently
If you're feeling confident to open it up you could try loosening the screws a little that hold the board to the shell on the Dpad side too. I've had to open mine quite a bit to get it right lol
So I had this problem on my modded GBA, my solution was to ever so slightly loosen the screws on the dpad side of the shell. Turned out I was over tightening them
Nice I didn't even realize it was on sale, I played it on Game Pass a couple years ago. $4 is a great price for the game as it's pretty short but a fun experience nonetheless. It has a cool soundtrack too
Yup you nailed it, think classic top down Zelda but with more fast paced bump combat/hack n slash combat depending on which game you're playing, and less puzzles. Don't be ashamed to use a walkthrough for Ys 1 and 2 as they are originally made in the late 80s/early 90s and have some obscure elements to them (find a boss before getting x item and you will get one shotted/ won't be able to damage him, etc)
Check out the Ys series on PSP and Vita, they are some of the best games I've played through on my Vita. Digitalemelas.com has a lot of really good info on it.
Yeah he's one of my favorites, I think he had a pretty rough year last year and you could see it in his content but it seems like things have been better for him lately - his Japan videos are really cool.
I hated BOTW but love TOTK. I think the expanded world, new mechanics, and story make it really fun.
Links Awakening (GB) is my comfort food though, I've always considered top-down Zelda games to be the best ones. Idk why but the lack of a jump button in older 3D Zeldas always screws me up.
If durability is a concern with the switch I'd definitely recommend you play docked with a pro controller or 8bitdo controller as your joycons will start to drift - happened to me about 1.5 to 2 years into owning mine.
I haven't owned a PlayStation since PS3 but it sounds like PS5 is a solid choice for you

It's like Christmas at Jackie Chan's house!
I think the most fun I've ever had with Gex is watching Dunkey's videos making fun of it lol

For value I like silicon power cards. I use them in my handhelds and my dash cams and they have all been solid.
Samsung Evo cards are really good too, I use one in the steam deck. Russ from Retro Game Corp usually posts when they go on sale on Amazon.

Donut county is a short but sweet game that is both relaxing and funny. My nephew got a kick out of Untitled Goose Game too.
Baldur's gate 3 for me, easiest difficulty so I can play out the power fantasy and enjoy the story
I didn't know they artificially ramped up the difficulty! That game had a reputation when we were kids! Thanks for sharing
I mean I suck at the game and play on the lowest difficulty, I just think the story is awesome. I'm the wrong person to ask lol
I just bought Balatro on Fanatical which came with a free game voucher so I picked up Grip: Combat Racing asking with it. Both really fun games.
Tempted to get FF7 remake but I need to put in more time with a Baldur's gate 3 before buying another big game

Also obligatory Persona 4 Golden
Yeah he's one of my favorites, I think he had a pretty rough year last year and you could see it in his content but it seems like things have been better for him lately - his Japan videos are really cool.
The Retro Future made a hilarious parody of those videos, I think he was pretty fed up with them
Steam but mainly because I have a steam deck so ease of use.
Loop Hero
Hades
Persona 4 or 5
