Just a friendly reminder for Santa to install any large video games on Christmas Eve so Christmas morning isn’t spent watching a loading screen. PS - I just love Dolly :)
iamlamp2
That's Duly Parton?
BuckinCrazy
Yvonne Strahovski not Dolly

After that stunt Sony pulled? I’m buying physical copies. And if I see any bs about licences? It goes back.
Redbaron1079
At first glance looked a bit like Yvonne Strahovski
TheyDontKnowAndYouCantTellEm
You're a good Santa, Dolly. Love ya.

Especially considering one year some assholes decided to DDoS PlayStation servers. If it happens again, you'll still be screwed with multiplayer games, but at least most singleplayer games will be playable.

You mean 300 years ago when that dumb ass movie about Korea came out?

Is Miley and Dolly related

Well hello, Dolly

DP FTW!

God, for a moment there I thought you were going to tell me any games not installed by then would be removed from my library or something.
PinkEater
God damn, Dolly was HOT!!! Always upvote DP.

My first ever new pc is supposed to show up today. My old rebuilt work desktop that still runs win7 can finally step down from main duty.

Also, download any console firmware updates.

Doing the Lord’s work. +1

someone suggested it a few years ago and thought I’d pay it forward this year

I have only one +1, so I'm putting it here so you'll probably see it.

I see you

Another tip: All 3 consoles can support multiple accounts. Less chance of drama if everyone has their own save files.

Also, wifi is for chumps. Always use ethernet for game downloads

Yup, we got my Step-daughter a new laptop, I spent a couple hours updating, installing software I know she uses, antivirus, the lot...

Baby Dolly was a god damn fox. 😳 Older Dolly is too, but the difference is astounding.

Jokes on you, I installed mine five months ago. Now I get to fix mod conflicts. 😐

I played through it this year. Cool game. Hope she enjoys it
xIntrusionx
Fantastic choice, I’m sure she’ll love it!

The best reminder to install Mass Effect 2 again and make a new playthrough.
Farreg
And test for a few hours to make sure it works...

Yessir, got an alarm set to download Super Mario Wonder for the kiddos after they’re in bed on the Eve!

Calling them tips instead of life hacks is a pretty great life hack

I miss dropping a cartridge in, pushing Power and getting instant joy

Legend of Zelda was my first purchased game. Nothing compares to taking that gold cartridge out, popping it in, and seeing that sweet start up screen.

*laughs in cartridge master race*
Affray
1)I saw that Nintendo put Super Mario RPG on the Switch a little while ago and got very pumped, until I saw that it was a hundred bucks. So
Affray
2)I went down to my basement, pulled out my Super Nintendo & Super Mario RPG cartridge that I haven't touched in a decade and a half, and
Affray
3)played it for free. I loathe that nostalgia is being used so constantly to get my money.

Thanks for the reminder!

arnt games these days like 700gb-1tb?
16bitStarbuck
No
PsilocybVibe
Not that I’ve ever seen. Most people would only have 1 game. A heavy game is about 100 gigs. Some AAA titles are less than 30
smashpro1
100 gigs is the norm for AAA.

When I got my girlfriend a Switch for Christmas a few years back, I unpacked it, applied a screen protector, updated the console and every game so it would be ready to play on Christmas day, then carefully packed it all back up.
She didn't even try to play it until a few days later, lol. Regardless, I don't blame her. It was one of Nintendo's more disappointing consoles, along with the Wii U and Virtual Boy. It's now a dedicated Ring Fit machine.

I thought the switch was pretty fun, with BOTW, Animal Crossing, and Xenoblade Chronicles... Think I put in quite a few hundred hours, and if you include the time spent on it by friends and family it'd probably reach a few thousand.
Had to sell it for rent during Covid though, but it had the early firmware that supported modding, so got a pretty ok price. Else I'd probably still have it.
