Never seen a custom Zelda cabinet, even has a drink holder. 

It also makes no sense as you will put in coins rarely

This is supposed to be pretty addicting: 

did not play it yet its also PC exclusive. Would be a great Switch title

Anyone playing helldivers 2? I see a lot written about it so im tempted but when i see gameplay i just see a third person shooter.

Also, balatro, is it worth getting hooked to it?

[Zooluus]

all the endings kinda let me down.

now i'm addicted to forza motorsport

maple valley with some good music

holding the down arrow down in Excel to see how fast i can get to the bottom

[usagi]

is it harder than Sekiro?

Gave up on Sifu on the fourth boss. I couldn't understand why my avoids and parries weren't working. Hate the age mechanic.

Factorio.

the Quake 2 remaster. classic shootinz.

[scumtron]

The Quake/Quake2 +extensions pack offers are really hours and hours and hours of fun for almost nothing.

[usagi]

I'm finding the expansions drag a little. but I'm probably trying to get through it too quickly.

Hearing the Battlefront retro release is a clusterfuck. That’s a shame, loved that on OG Xbox.

I've been playing through these. The Dimension of the Machine looks amazing for a Quake 1 expansion.

Speaking of lots of bang for buck few months ago I also got a Doom bundle for Switch which included Doom I, II, 64, 3 and Doom (2016) and a bunch of expansions.

BG3 is unbelievable. Renews and honors the earlier ones in a way I didn't think was possible these days. Someone paid close attention to the charm, locales, deep-ass DnD mechanics, clunky inventory sub-game and constant near-death clutch combat. Maybe looks a tad too polished and colorful (the Shpongled Underdark in particular) but the scale of it all is mind-boggling. Have only scratched the surface at 50 hrs in but I absolutely love it. 

I'm doing a wonky try-everything Drow Rogue/Fighter thing, and playing rogue means depending on sneak attacks long before I'm in conversation range. That leads to all sorts of strange consequences story-wise, not to mention my taste for bad choices like experimental surgery, brainworms and unholy necromancy.

Spoiler

When Astarion showed up, my vampire PTSD from the previous games set in and I drove a stake through him before I even figured out what a big story character he was. 

 

The barrel-hoarding and stuff-throwing mini-game has some serious nuance to it.

This one is badass, scratches my Geometry Wars / Gauntlet itch

[zkom]

I dug out my old GameCube from storage and F-Zero GX is such a blast. The best futuristic racing game, maybe? So unforgiving also.. I can't pass all the cups without getting a game over anymore, even on the novice difficulty  Also it took me forever to finish the story mode back in the day and I seem to have lost the memory card where that save was.. Practice mode it is then for a while.

Game is indeed a lot more fun on the harder difficulties, thing gets really crazy sometimes. Even if it is kinda samey.

I'm not sure building that thing took as long as it would to make a game.
