Physical is king, but we also need to be careful to not fall for a certain grift from companies. For example, Oblivion on Switch 2, after the patch, doesnt really open anymore unless you patch the game. So the "having it on the card" thing just became irrelevant. And DoesItPlay doesnt reflect this.

For as much as the US has lost on the battlefield in Iran, it has continued to solidify its position in the West through brute force. This isn't a good strategy by any means, but it "worked" in Venezuela, it's working with Greenland / Denmark, and Canada / EU may oppose on paper, but not in action.

A cutaway view of a stone tower containing an elaborate water-powered medieval geared machine. Rising out of the machine is a rainbow-tinted, pixelated God with the robes, beard and all. To one side of this scene is a cluster of tiny people in Jesus-era robes, falling about themselves in religious ecstasy all over a stone staircase, atop of which stands a robed priest with his hands upraised. The background is a set of shining golden rays, emanating from pixel-God.
