In this episode of the Nerd Nest podcast, we focus on Sony's shift from hardware to a platform-based model, the unique position of Nintendo, and handheld gaming by Xbox. We also delve into the impact of indie games, focusing on Mina the Hollower, a new title from Yacht Club Games. And we discuss the impact of leaks and misinformation in the gaming industry.

Remasters and Remakes are overrated because they censor new versions of games. They sell a lie to fans and people that never played the games. Square censored most if not all of their remakes and remasters.

Nintendo will overcharge for games, sell empty cartridges, brick your console remotely, kill your dog and fuck your mom but Bob thinks it's better to get a Switch 2 instead of an Ally X.

The version after Pokemon X was Sun and Moon that literally changed the most central mechanic of gyms on the game and introduced alternative forms. Bill doesn't know shit about shit.

Comparing Nier Automata to Bayonetta is offensive. Bayonetta is DMC with a hoe, there's no big deal about it. It's like saying chocolate ice cream and diarrhea are the same because they're both brown and creamy.

It's impressive how despite the obscene amount of resources they have, Microsoft is always two steps behind. Same thing happened to the smartphone market.

The best thing about Valve is that in a world where every company releases half baked trash they only release what's ready and good. Releasing a Steam Deck every X amount of time for no good reason is stupid.

343 basically got a handful of crap, put in a recipient with a "chocolate" label on it and wants people to believe it.

I like the cast in general but it's hard to get so many L takes from Bill in a row.

Hi there Bill I just wanted to touch on something that you said regarding gambling in the episode. With regards to the baseball cards it can't be described as gambling and here's why I think that. When you buy a pack of cards for instance there are 6 per pack you are always going to get 6 cards in said pack wherever they are the cards you want or not your purchase will always yield 6 cards. To be described as there must be a variety of outcomes wherever it be 3 cards 6 cards 10 cards or even 0 cards. Anyway what I am trying to say is that when you gamble there is a possibility that you will not obtain anything at all. Wanted to say while it was still fresh in my mind. Love the show bill and keep making great content. Many thanks Kenhay UK
