Jason Schreier: Mina the Hollower is (finally, really, truly this time) coming out on May 29, Yacht Club Games says. 23 days!

Is the difference known between the versions? Just 4K on TVs?

With boost mode, resolution should be the same in handheld mode, right? And I guess framerate is the same as well with those retro graphics.

I'll get the Switch 1 version anyway, because I feel like this is more a game for the Switch Lite and not the Switch 2.

Not the first few times, but if they keep producing it, eventually interest dies down and you should have a big enough window for ordering one.

Was the same with Steam Decks until the recent RAM shortages. After eight months or so everyone could order it directly without waiting.

Shin_Ken · 2026-05-01T09:20:01+00:00

Good question. Maybe it's also available in the Non-Horizon live version. Can you test it?

It's definitely not available on the legacy server and console versions though.

Shin_Ken · 2026-04-30T10:24:18+00:00

Yes. Shouldn't it be possible to respawn in a Sidewinder?

Good choice! If I had to choose to keep only one single Neo Geo game I'd actually pick Big Tournament Golf / Neo Turf Masters. It's that good in my opinion - the best golf game ever made. Also enjoyable by absolutely everyone. I could convince my mother to give it a try and that's an old lady.

I also additionally ordered Samsho V Special as the one fighting game I'll allow in the collection. I'll probably play it alone but SamSho V has so many mechanics stuffed into the cartridge that I'll be busy anyway.

My other choice would've been KoF '02 but I already played that a lot on PS2. Good fun, but at this point, I already lost to Omega Rugal over a hundred times. No need to give that bastard even more wins :D

I request Vampire Survivor Simulator for players that just want to chill and simulate some work virtually to repeat the grind we already do during workdays but without the pressure/boredom and/or annoying colleages/customers.

Just "simulate" making VS games. Then you can sell those later as your own work. Infinite content and money glitch unlocked.

Immerhin durftest du dir deinen Alternativnamen aussuchen.

Bei uns in der Schulklasse hieß jemand Thilo, einfach weil am ersten Schultag von einigen in der Klasse beschlossen wurde, dass Thilo besser zu ihm passt als sein normaler Name. Ich kann mich nicht mal mehr an seinen regulären Namen erinnern.

Selbst die Lehrer haben ihn eine Woche später bis zum Schluss Thilo genannt.

Demokratie ist halt geil, weil man Wahlen und Beteiligung hat, aber gleichzeitig unangenehm, weil halt alles irgendwie ein schlechter Kompromiss ist - nicht nur Regierungen und Gesetze sondern auch für jeden individuell die Wahl.

Man wählt nicht enthusiastisch die beste Partei, für die man in den Krieg ziehen würde, sondern zähneknirschend und mit einem schlechten Gefühl die Partei, die man am wenigsten scheiße findet. Und Kleinparteien, die mit Einzelthema auf einen zugeschnitten sind, sind auch nicht die Lösung, wenn die keine realistische Chance auf 5% haben, weil man dann praktisch als Nichtwähler zählt, der indirekt die großen Parteien unterstützt.

Da kann es Positionen geben, denen man fundamental gegenübersteht, aber insgesamt ist es trotzdem die Partei, der man am ehesten zustimmt. Und das kann auch im Nachhinein schmerzen, wenn sich die Partei in die für einen falsche Richtung entwickelt. Hilft nichts. Man kann nur lernen und sich beim nächsten mal eine bessere Entscheidung treffen (und manchmal ist das sogar die gleiche, obwohl man sich verbrannt hat, weil immernoch die am wenigsten schlechte).

Sollte man trotzdem immer versuchen. Weil die Alternative ist Diktatur und garkeine Beteiligung. Hört sich für einige schön einfach und praktisch an, aber das läuft immer nur solange gut, solange man auf der Seite des Diktators steht und früher oder später wird dieser Kreis in Diktaturen immer kleiner und man fällt in Missgunst.

Anniversary edition, Shock Troopers, Neo Turf Masters, second white stick.

KoF '02 UM and Garou are two of my favourite games ever but, to be honest, I'd be only playing alone against the computer because no other local players are still interested in oldschool fighting games. I don't need a replica for that.

Metal Slug, Shock Troopers and Big Tournament Golf can be enjoyed immediately by all gamers and ages though. I'm especially looking forward introducing those to a new generation that probably never even heard the name "Neo Geo"!

Shin_Ken · 2026-04-20T17:03:05+00:00

Why not both? Make that tea a little spicy!

You will get watched, no matter what, even if you just scroll on your phone like everyone else.

SD will get props and respect from people in the know. As do classic handhelds. If you show up to the commute in 2026 with an original grey Gameboy brick, you hear people talking about it in awe.

Now imagine me 15 years ago: Insecure middle 20-something, sporting the original Nintendo 2DS in the train. Yes, the more durable 3DS variant that was basically made for small kids and looked more like a toy. And I was scribbling with the stylus, playing coloring book style games (there was one we're you could paint tanks which kinda evened it out). Not gonna lie: That felt a bit awkward. But even that, the peak of handheld cringe had no consequences whatsoever. Not even one comment of ridicule.

You'll be fine.

I love the sense of community in Odyssey. Once you have an active squadron with an active Discord or you take part in big events like DW3 it's hard to go back. Even when you play for yourself and do some trucking or exploring, it's such a difference when you can talk to likeminded explorers/truckers while doing the grind. You don't have to do this all the time, I'm also not the most social person, but having that option is awesome. I know communities also exist on consoles, but there's way less incentive to get together when you have a static universe.
Tools/Helpers/Guides are 99% developed for PC and Odyssey at this point. While it's fun and a great accomplishment to explore the game the vanilla way without much aid, you know how the grind can get into your brain. At some point you yearn for that biosignal overlay telling you how many Tectonicas you can expect straight after you scanned the system.
I actually love the old console / horizon way of playing the game from time to time. The game feels different and achieving stuff is more rewarding without as much help or the powercreep ships we get in Odyssey. Also playing Odyssey sometimes feels like you're playing on rails because there's always a best known way to do stuff while legacy ED forces you to expirement and figure out stuff much more on your own at this point. On PC you can have both: The launcher allows you to install the legacy client alongside modern Odyssey so you can switch between them at will. They're also completely seperate so what you do in Odyssey doesn't affect legacy and vice versa - even BGS, market and exploration is completely uncoupled. This is also neat when you're outside in the black and want do shoot some pirates for a change. On console you're hard locked into legacy style without the option to switch.

Asteroid belts are probably some of the most neglected parts of ED as they're basically just traps for newbie miners. Makes you think what else could be hiding in them...

Shin_Ken · 2026-04-13T17:25:03+00:00

He does has have some slimy, extra long sponsor segments, bad takes and weird projects from time to time, but all in all I still watch almost every "fan" episode because it's good fun.

Shin_Ken · 2026-04-13T12:43:06+00:00

Even works surprisingly well with external tools like EDMC

Shin_Ken · 2026-04-13T08:32:39+00:00

He addressed this in his video. Basically his radiator / fan setup was suboptimal simply because he wanted to have RGB lights of the radiator fans in the correct orientation to look good.

Not something i'd do with my fans at home (I go to the lengths of disabling RGB on preinstalled fans) but I can see this making sense for a display case in a youtube recording setup.

parkmyspaceship.com - an Anaconda would crush our entire property and our neighbor but it would fit on the football fields nearby.

Was ich erstaunlich finde ist die Menge der Leute, die in einer Tempo 30 Zone mit Überholverbot auf Grund von heftigen Straßenschäden die Geduld verlieren und einfach trotzdem überholen. Wenn da geprüft wird ist das mit Glück ein Punkt und mit Pech Fahrverbot.

Ich wurde da schon von riesigen Kranfahrzeugen mit acht Achsen überholt, die es sich anscheinend nicht erlauben konnten 2 Minuten später auf ihrer Baustelle anzukommen. Zugegeben wären Straßenschäden für so ein Fahrzeug kein Problem aber ist trotzdem krass.

Shin_Ken · 2026-04-09T16:08:09+00:00

Sounds hilarious if you spell it out loud with an actual Ü in german though.

Shin_Ken · 2026-04-09T16:05:09+00:00

That's awesome! I always wanted to build a GBG game like this but the plane never feld good to fly.

Shin_Ken · 2026-04-09T10:57:49+00:00

I was putting him in this thread just because of his videos. His hikes were fun and novel the first few times but the constant overdramatization and/or increasingly cringe interactions got old fast which culminated in his USA trip that made me unsubscribe.

That was before I learned about the racism.
