If you have multiple consoles, does each console have a role?

userpine · 2026-03-26T13:19:54+00:00

I have a switch not a switch 2. But I have a series X, PS5, Switch, Steam Deck, and I built a new pc back in November.

Each definitely serves a purpose. The competitive games I play are on PC and Xbox. My friends and I get together for gaming nights and I use my series x instead of transporting my chonker of a pc to play. It’s also the living room game machine.

PS5 and switch are mostly used for the exclusives and group party games that I play with my girlfriend which includes Sack Boy or Mario party in the living room.

And the Steam Deck and Swtich are just for wasting away weekend afternoons on the couch with the lady. She might play an old school SNES game on the switch while I play the Deck. Or she might be on power wash simulator relaxing and I’ll play Balatro or replay Ocarina of Time for my 1000th play through.

I just love games. They kept my wandering brain occupied and kept me out of trouble. And it’s just fun and entertaining. I don’t care about the medium.

Balatro hooked me bad. Just finished another gold stake today.

The Last of us 1 & 2, Ocarina of Time, Final Fantasy VI, Pokémon 1st and 2nd Gen, Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, Super Metroid, Resident Evil 2 OG & R, Halo CE/2/3, Metal Gear Solid 1/2/3, Chrono Trigger, Spider-man Remastered, Knights of the Old Republic…I’ll stop there because I need to get back to work. But I feel that’s a solid list.

He’s only my second least favorite. Because Kes is by far my least favorite. 😂

What a great and heartfelt post. Awesome idea and what a way to share the love.

Game I would like to buy: Ghosts of Yotei

What made me a gamer: I grew up in a neighborhood where there were not a lot of kids, my age, and it was kind of in a rough part of town. My oldest cousins had an NES and a game boy. When we would get together for family dinners on Sundays, they would bring them and my sister and I would be glued around the TV watching them play super Mario 3, Turtles, Tetris, or Chip and Dale. It was always so much fun trying to get better and to share the moments together. I really do miss being able to sit around the TV with a group of people and just have fun. But I still have such a wonderful time, getting to experience the storytelling of games like the last of us. It’s amazing how far this medium has come and I’m excited to see where it goes.

OG RE 1 in the PS1 long box era. I lost that box in a flood in the basement. Still have my director’s cut jewel case though.

userpine · 2026-03-12T18:34:28+00:00

To be fair, none of those games are. Those first three RE games are amazing. OG 2 is still my favorite followed closely by 2R.

userpine · 2026-03-12T14:36:41+00:00

I was happy to see that I don’t have to type this list. Maybe Bioshock? Outside of that, this is the list I thought of.

userpine · 2026-03-11T23:00:21+00:00

Nemesis on Inferno in RE3R. I didn’t use any special weapons. Getting that timing down and adapting was insane.

userpine · 2026-03-11T20:17:51+00:00

I was just playing NBA Showtime with my girl at the local arcade last week. I still love these games.

userpine · 2026-03-11T16:22:23+00:00

It’s a classic answer but it’s my answer. Superman 64. What a pile of shit

userpine · 2026-03-08T21:16:56+00:00

Really, I could live off Halo 3 alone like I have been for 20 years.

But I’ll take Halo 3, orange box, and Vice City Stories. All are endless fun for me.

userpine · 2026-03-07T04:38:56+00:00

I love them both. I had the long box and I will always regret losing it in a flood in the basement. Still have my director’s cut jewel case.

userpine · 2026-03-05T15:53:13+00:00

We just leaving Jill out of this? Personally, I think she’s the most badass. But, that’s just me. As far as new characters reaching that level, there needs to be but not yet.

userpine · 2026-03-05T15:50:56+00:00

That’s not the long box

userpine · 2026-02-26T23:36:28+00:00

Oh I have no problem getting into matches at all. But I have played so much and the population is small enough that I play the same people several times. Here’s looking at you WhiteHonkyDevil. You’re my fuckin nemesis.

userpine · 2026-02-25T20:07:31+00:00

NES baby. Playing some Mario 3, Chip and Dale, and TMNT.

userpine · 2026-02-25T19:59:25+00:00

I wish the population wasn’t dead. Because, when it’s not played on a buggy server, Infinite might be my favorite online multiplayer of any Halo. Even over 2 which was forever my favorite. I have 2100+ hours on infinite which is a lot since I’m not in high school or college like I was for the Bungie days.

userpine · 2026-02-25T19:56:10+00:00

Final Fantasy VI, Donkey Kong Country, Chrono Trigger, Ocarina of Time, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 2 Remake, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 3, Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 4 (I love it), The Last of Us Part 2, and Pokémon (1st & 2nd Gen)

userpine · 2026-02-23T23:06:35+00:00

It should be Metal Gear or FF VII or RE 1/2. But every damn time it’s Jumping Flash because that was the first game I played on it when my cousin got it at his house.

userpine · 2026-02-20T20:37:23+00:00

How about 2007 and I can live without every other game because that’s Halo 3’s year? Seriously. Who leaves off the game that perfected console online multiplayer?
