Questions from Discord: 


Brasop: Would you want Nintendo to upgrade their Switch online service for the Switch 2 to something closer to the psn+ and xbox game pass model?  Nintendo games hold their value so well and rarely go on sale, or if they do its 20% of  3 years later. How good would it be to get first party games day one like game pass, or maybe a couple years down the track like psn+. I would drop my subscription of the other consoles if Nintendo expanded their subscription service to include newer/current games....


Joe: What are your favorite types of side quests or mini games within games? For example, fishing or gambling, etc.
