You should be able to. I keep Steam in offline mode on my PC 24/7 so that it doesn't auto-update my games and break my mod load orders.

My only concern is the 60hz refresh rate screen. Hopefully, gen 2 will have 144hz+. But that's a minor, PC master race complaint.

Nintendo: Here's a new Switch with a slightly better screen and not much else!

Valve: Fine, we'll do it. Hold my beer.

Way better value for $50 more than the "enhanced" Switch.

Nintendo has made some of my favorite games of all time but I constantly cringe at their decisions and wonder how they stay afloat.

See the first part of your sentence to answer the last part of your sentence.

I've finally gotten around to playing through the Uncharted games... just started 4 earlier and the increase in video quality is... shocking.

Uncharted is my favorite game franchise of all time, and 4 is a standout among standouts. Narrative, gameplay, puzzles, traversal............ hell, man, it's Uncharted with PIRATES!!!!!!!

(I actually have a t-shirt with all the pirate sigils from the game arranged in a grid)

Damn kids have been hogging the switch, so I haven't played yet, but they are having fun with it.

I just got Deaths Door for Xbox and it looks like a lot of fun, so I guess I'll be playing that for now. (on sale today for $17)

I was at target yesterday with my daughter, and they had a few copies. I almost picked it up, but decided to wait closer to the weekend or else I'd get nothing done I wanted to in the evening this week.

Stupid kids.

Yay, I guess Nintendo just isn't going to spring for some of the Capcom, Konami,etc games that they probably would have to put in a little work to get. Maybe those companies aren't allowing them to use the games. I don't know, but this is getting sad. Some of these games are fun for about 3 minutes, but come on

New World beta is frying EVGA 3090 FTW3 gpus. Multiple reports of people having issues.

Played Death's Door for a bit last night, this is a fun game and I look forward to finishing it out.

Yeah, I stopped looking forward to these releases probably early last year.

It dawned on me the other day that Diablo 2 Resurrected and Lost Judgment are being released on the same day... This is going to suck... 2 potential time sinks at once.

My daughter is away for the week at her grandparent's so I started playing Mario Odyssey for the Switch a couple days ago. Pretty darn fun.
