Sega’s second attempt at a miniature game console that comes pre-packed with a bunch of games to play is on the horizon, so of course, it’s revealed a complete list ahead of time.

I think it’s fair to assume that nobody has gotten or will be getting a Nintendo Switch because it’s a performance powerhouse. Don’t get me wrong, I adore my Switch, but it’s definitely not keeping up with the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One—to say nothing of the PS5 or Series X/S. This is why Nintendo’s inclusion of streaming versions of more intensive games seems like such a smart idea.

With electronic communications, however, re has been repurposed. RE: in an email subject line precedes the subject when the message is a reply to a previous one that uses the same subject.
