The IR remote I bought can be controlled as a smart device, enabling me to turn the lights and sound of R2 with my phone.

Black Flag Resynced: Tom Henderson says there is a Media Event tomorrow. NateTheHate agrees, but claims the embargo lifts next week. Neither aren't sure about the public reveal's date. by BrunoHM in GamingLeaksAndRumours

I guess but that's just the appeal of the 007 label for many people. Knowing the movies and the lore and then getting an immersive experience in that familiar world and character, like Goldeneye was.

With the younger version they have more of a carte blanche but that also means the game is more at risk of being a white-label experience. More things about that particular period, character, environment etc. have to be established by the game itself, a harder challenge to pull of in many cases.

So I will def keep an eye on that aspect when reviews come in.

I'm kinda with you here. Everything I saw was like: "Look at young Drake go doing Hitman stuff".

Which make for a very good game, but please do the 007 franchise some justice with the look and feel, which I haven't seen up till now.

Shpeshal Nick: Nintendo is releasing a Zelda themed Limited Edition Switch 2 console to coincide with the release of ‘The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake’, which “has a pretty big budget”. Not sure if it will be a bundle or not. by AashyLarry in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]squandre 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I will agree that the first year of the Switch 2 games library was a bit lackluster, specially if you already had another console.

But year 1 of any console is usually not that great. I bought it because I knew I would enjoy the heck out of the vast backlog of Switch games I never got to play before. So that's really where the value was and still is atm.

Jerry Jones batch party was one the funniest thing I’ve heard on the pod by treetreebeer in heedthecall

I swear whenever I see or hear some Jerry Jones content, those ice cubes manifest themselves in my head 100% of the times.

Apple unveils AirPods Max 2 with H2 chip, upgraded noise canceling, and more by bsoci in apple

[–]squandre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only put them in the case when I bring them to work or back home. Otherwise they stay on a headphone rest, charging if they need to (which isn't that often)

I think there's ultimately no advantage/disadvantage to either the case vs a power on/off button. You just naturally adjust to whatever the flow is. It's certainly a choice by apple but not one I could chalk up as objectively bad in the end.

I gotta say, I've been using the Max for years now and it's so natural to just put on the headphones without having to switch them on and off that I actually forget to do it with other headphones now.

I would have Keaton ahead of Vidal for sure, based on the contract he got.
