Can I interrupt you with two things? Yeah, of course. Multiple people in chat are saying, bless, you should check out this game called Disco Elysium.

Yeah, there's a new phone game that they're making for Disco Elysium. Sometimes I think when I talk about games, people just don't listen. Because I love Disco Elysium. Have you played Life is Strange? I've never heard of Life is Strange before. No, guys, I played Disco Elysium. And yes, it did make me feel that way.

And I felt the exact same way post that game of like, man, nothing's gonna make me feel that way again. And then years later, I played Inscription. Then years later, I played Immortality. Then years later, I played Outer Wilds. And then the other thing people are saying is that Jason seems to be talking about blueprints. We can't confirm nor deny. We don't know if he is. I don't know, man.

Maybe there's another game I should check out, then.

Maybe there's another game I should check out, then.

Yeah. Is that a game that's about, like, reducing the size of an organized crime gang to zero? Kind of, yes, actually. Like, actually, like... Weirdly. Weirdly, if you... Yes.

you always gotta be doing it you always i always forget it's the missing decimal when you're doing the calculations you're like all right that checks out and you walk out of the door and on the way home you're like fuck i forgot the factor in the wnd changes everything because i was like oh i mean there's so many other kind of things that could be right like i believed a direct was happening because like why would people lie about uh why would the people the names that we know that are usually like on point about things why would they put their credibility out

Why would they put their credibility about a random Nintendo Direct happening the week before another Nintendo Direct happening? That doesn't make any sense. So I believed it was happening, but I was of the mind that it was either going to be an indie-slash-third-party thing, like a third-party Direct or partner showcase.

Maybe it was going to be about a theme park-type thing, or maybe it was even going to be about the Nintendo Store in San Francisco. The fact that it is being... presented as just a regular Nintendo Direct about Switch 1 games surprises me because this year Nintendo's been fairly held back about what their Switch 1 lineup is as far as bigger games. Obviously, we know Pokemon ZAW is coming through.

Obviously, we know about Metroid Prime 4. But it feels like for the rest of the... big guns or just guns in general, you want to save those for after the Switch 2 reveal so that you can have that be part of the Switch 2 hype cycle. Sure. That then leads to me having questions about, all right, what can we expect here? Like, what size of games can we expect?
