First time playing it! I actually only played TLOU (Part I) late last year and figured I might as well wait a few weeks for the Remaster to release by that point.

I got through to the "real" ending of Returnal (but I haven't started Ascension yet) and I'm now a few hours into TLOU II Remastered.
Not happy about digital only, but it also seems to be the only way forward with Xbox, so there you go. $50 USD isn't so bad.
I'm as hyped as ever by what they've shown tbh!
I've been waiting for this one, but there seems to be a number of technical issues that can make the experience pretty jarring.
I'll wait for a few updates before picking it up.
That's better, although I would probably wait for $130-140.
Yeah, I'm not using the paddles for anything fancy, simply face buttons or R1/L1 / R3/L3 for most games, so your modded DualSense sounds like a nice solution for that. I'm not sure you would get much more with a DS Edge tbh, unless you're really interested in making trigger adjustments or joysticks replacements (which is certainly a nice-to-have, but also a missed opportunity as they could have gone with hall effect ones...).
I don't have any experience with using the Edge on the Deck since I only play it in handheld mode, but I've been using it almost exclusively for about 10 months on PS5 and I really couldn't go back to a regular DualSense, the backpaddles are too nice to get rid off now. The trigger adjustment is also pretty neat, although I don't play competitive shooters so I'm not really part of the "target demographic".
That being said, I wouldn't have bought it at MSRP and I still don't think it's worth $200 USD (I got it on amazon warehouse deals for 40% off and it was basically brand new, if you can get it this way or otherwise slightly used elsewhere I'd recommend that instead).
There's actually no price increase, $90 CAD is the OG Canadian MSRP.
The only thing I'm hoping for is a release date for Hellblade II!
Returnal! I'm not addicted at all, ahem - just another run and... where did the last 3 hours go?
A Plague Tale: Requiem.
No, I didn't want to spoil myself at all, so I'm not sure how the two compare tbh. I would imagine there are still some slight differences and/or you might want to play on a more challenging difficulty if that's your thing?
Afaict from their website, pretty much yeah:
