This Week in Switch 2 is a weekly podcast about... you guessed it, Switch 2! It's got some handy chapters so if you don't have the time to listen to the whole thing, you can jump to the parts that interest you the most.
Yesterday, we launched the new Shackpass, which gives you access to all of David's amazing Long Read content in downloable e-reader form. Today is very good day to consider it if you want to take the untold stories that helped formed the foundation of Nightdive on the go. βΊοΈ
We got merch now!
I'll still add more to this, like more animals spawns, fish locations, plant locations, and random encounters, but this will get you 100 percent completion.
We've officially launched our RDR2 interactive map on Shackmaps. This project took me a year to complete. Multiple playthroughs, nearly 1,000 hours. It's 100 percent free, and it's the best RDR2 interactive map on the internet.
