2:03:45 Wait, so Jakob and Jonathan still work in LMG?

Luke. I'm also dyslexic and my reading dramatically improved when i done ebooks and set page to be white writing on black background

Firedepartementcoffee collab is an absolute must!

Watch when Linus flashes the sirens and does a sponsor. Lol

Linus' hands from this far away and up against that giant coat are looking like those little rubber hands you put on your fingers.

Regarding the hypercar discussion. Buy a car like that, and keep the miles low and not drive it. It`s like not sleeping with your girlfriend to save her for the next guy.

Demonstrating that ability to have patience and wait for the console to come in stock is a brillant example of patience to show everyone, good on you Luke for being a good example to the rest of us!!

Nice intro

21:00 Linus is making an interesting point here. Back in the day you could actually share consoles. And I guess with some games on switch that's still the case. But couch coop nowadays is basically dead. There hasn't been a new halo game in the last decade (!!!) that supports split screen. So if four people want to play halo, they have to spend ~2500€ (or the currency of your choice) to buy a console for everyone. And halo infinite is free, imagine everyone having to spend another 90€ on the game!

I don't like the whole comparison to game prices in the 90s… There is of course the argument that the market is completely different now, but mostly I think it's unfair that people that use this argument always only look at the prices of console games. There were other computers then too and games for those were way cheaper. I checked prices for Commodore 64 games a while ago and depending on when in its lifetime you look, corrected for inflation, prices were lower to way lower there compared to before the recent price hike even.
I also feel there is a pretty obvious flaw in your napkin math of 1 hour a week using a switch… You started out with 10 games, but using a switch for 1 hour a week for 8 years with only 10 games comes out to 292 hours spent per game. You might get there with Mario Kart if you're really into it, but most people will not reach those numbers even there. So if you are really consistently playing your switch for that long (also assuming it lives for that long) you'll likely buy way more games throwing off your calculation.
The price of the console of course does become much less of a factor if you look at it like this, but to play that much (365 hours a year) I think you're more likely to buy 5-10 games every year, not total over 8 years.
Sure, we used to play like that when we were kids (I'm one of the last gen-x, slightly older than you), but that was out of necessity. Most people are not going to just play the same game over and over because there's nothing better to do. Even if you can't afford more games, there's so much more entertainment available now.
And it's not okay to look at this in a vacuum either. For the price of a switch 2 you can get a steam deck. Now okay, that has it's own issues with new releases, but the games are going to be way cheaper.
And finally, I play much more than one hour a week… But I have multiple platforms. It's not about how much will I play, how much will I play on the switch 2 specifically? There are a couple games I'd really like to play, like MKW, ToTK… But multiplatform games are still going to be better elsewhere. And I'm not a massive Nintendo fan that gets every one of their games (for instance I didn't even finish mario Odyssey, it's just not really my thing). If it was 350, 400 with MKW, I think I would have jumped in. But at 500 and the prospect of games being even more expensive than they already were for switch (because they barely come down in price so my usual patient gamer routine does nothing here)… No, it just doesn't make sense.
For someone who is looking at this as their only platform, or someone who really loves every game Nintendo makes, I get it. But as a secondary platform? No, it's too expensive.

Can we get a T-shirt with a caricature of Dan with a text balloon saying I'm over it?

Where did you get the fire truck from?!?!

Speaking of entertainment prices and libraries. Swedish libraries have games as well. Maybe your local libraries have too?

In our German small town library, we can rent Switch and PS4/5 games as well as the consoles for 2€ per week. So game rental is still a thing in some parts of the world.

As an extension of the LG losing google assistant and whether you should get compensation because it is no longer the product you bought; Should games like New World, which has changed drastically since launch and no longer the game it was, warrant compensation or allow for people to get refunds?
