2 the max. One pleasant surprise of the Switch 2 launch, beyond the advertised upgrades — free and otherwise — to various Switch games, has been seeing how some Switch games that once struggled to hit their frame rate targets have gotten a nice boost on the new console.

Troleu is perhaps the most specific job simulator game I’ve played. Inspired (loosely, I assume, but who can say) by developer andrground’s experience of Moldovan public transit, it’s a frenzy of change-counting, validating trolley passes, and hurling passengers at a demonic ticket inspector so you don’t lose your day’s wages.

It was as if someone had mashed…
It’s 8 pm on Arrakis and I’ve been on a crafting binge. I’m not normally the sort of ex-convict-turned-desert-nomad who’s into the whole crafting bollocks.
