I bought it and am having a blast as well! There are definitely games I dislike, especially Barbuta (the first one). I get what it's going for but eugh, too slow and clunky.
Magic Garden was the first game I beat - and it's the only one I have a cherry disk on. Lots of fun, it's not that hard once it clicks.
I've only went through the first ten games and my favorites are Magic Garden, Mortol, and Velgress. The latter two are kicking my ass, but I keep coming back.

And imagine how much they sacrificed to make it 9.5mm. Not to mention that phone is an outlier (and the iphone 16 is actually 7.8mm). Priorities changed, phones now need more space for things like a bigger battery, better cameras, bigger heatsinks for faster performance and less throttling.
There are technical reasons. You can't just put in a sliding keyboard on a modern phone and expect it to work the same. They'll have to cut on so much to fit that without being too thick, and in the end you'll end up with a phone that's worse in every way and probably more expensive, for a feature so little people want.

You're comparing the market 10+ years ago to the market now... Your old phone was tiny compared to modern phones, which is a market that barely exists anymore because people prefer larger screens. It's one thing for a smaller phone to have a sliding keyboard, but slapping one on an already big phone would make it heavier and clunkier to use. The fact that touch screens are way bigger means that using a touch screen keyboard is much easier than it used to be, making slide out keyboards unnecessary.
I don't understand why every tech community acts like their niche opinions apply to the whole market. "Everyone wants small phones, we all want sliding keyboards, remember when operating systems were simple?" etc etc. I guarantee you if someone ACTUALLY made the type of phone you want it would barely sell and be seen as a gimmick.

I mean it sounds good on paper but who's going to want to buy a phone that's 2x thicker because it has a sliding keyboard? No doubt it'll be really expensive to make too.

Outside of benchmarks it's really not as big of a deal as openAI wants you to think it is. In most cases it's slightly better than Claude, except it uses 50x the tokens repeating info to itself and is way slower. There are a lot of people that tried o1 online and are posting screenshots of it making basic mistakes or gaslighting itself in its chain of thought. Not to mention you only get 30 messages PER WEEK since it's such a waste of energy.
It's a desperate attempt by openAI to stay relevant now that competitors and even free models are catching up.

Well yeah, the line has to be drawn somewhere, but it's still super high budget compared to any animated series out there. They spent roughly 10 million dollars per episode! High budget anime would usually spend something like 1 million dollars per season. One punch man season 1 reportedly spent $80k per episode. The difference is massive.

This is my big takeaway too... More frequent updates means more version mismatches and more trouble to modders and server hosters to have to constantly update. Not sure what's the goal here because I don't think people are clamoring for tiny updates.

He's actually one of the strongest heroes in team fights. You don't necessarily need to deal that much damage, but your one job is to hook enemies out of position and drag them into your team so they can finish him off.
If you rush mystic power and burst damage you should be dealing a ton of damage per bomb. I've seen builds that can guarantee a kill by double bombing with echo shard and there's nothing you can do about it aside from stronger defense items.

Definitely not a bad thing, I'd love more competition in the mid-range because so far AMD GPUs recently have basically been slightly worse than Nvidia at slightly lower prices. I still think GPUs like the 4060 are way too expensive, so if AMD actually undercuts them it could be nice for everyone.

Definitely a lot of oddballs here. Why is Grow Home on the list when Grow Up, the sequel, is literally the same game but so much better?
Also pokemon go being in a top 100 list. Hilarious.
And am I reading this right, there isn't a single Bioshock game here? Kinda expected more from Eurogamer.

That's one way to admit they couldn't catch up to Nvidia.

What an overreaction. Also FYI the free file limit was 8MB two years ago before they raised the limit to 25MB, so if anything it's gotten better.
Is this the fastest video game death of all time? Not even Lawbreakers died this fast.

Little Nightmares 1 & 2 get my vote. Also, Alan Wake 2 is a lot of fun and not exactly a horror game since it doesn't take itself seriously, but it has a fantastic spooky vibe.

These reviews are insane. I expected Astro Bot to be a fun platformer ala Sackboy's Adventure, but the reviews claim it rivals Mario and is a fantastic game all around.

The switch 2 is basically confirmed, a lot of journalists claimed there was a behind-doors showcase of it to people in the industry showing Zelda running a lot smoother.
I think everyone will be happy if it's just the Switch again with higher specs. Backwards compatibility sounds great.
