  • I stood in line for hours for the wii on launch… Back then, it was a new interesting product though. I wish I kept it, and all the accessories (especially guitar hero)

    I bought a wii u… Sure they don’t fix the touchscreen if it breaks and you need a new one though… Still, there were some cool new games, but, somewhat similar to the Wii’s…

    Switch, I understand lining up for it… But, once it was clear that any previous purchases are basically wasted, the joycons were seriously dodgy, and Nintendo was never going to fix it (and many another 5000 mario games), they should have lost people then.

    Then they sold the switch 2… You can still only play games approved by nintendo, and really, the library is mainly Nintendo games, or games available on every platform. By now, Steam deck has gotten awesome, and you can STILL play games from your library from 20 years ago. And, you can use other stores if you want, and have a wide range of games, even in the steam store INCLUDING NSFW ones. And, you know those games are going to almost certainly work in the future without repurchase (and, also work on computer).

    I literally just bought a humble bundle of 10 games for 20% the price of 1 switch game. And I can play them on computer, TV, Steamdeck, etc.

    I’d only pay for nintendo if they were subscription based and thin client. As it stands though, I feel like I’m better off just waiting 20 years until I’m 60 and they’re readily available on emulator



  • Problem with Nintendo, is it’s mostly just remakes of the same games and characters. Also they screwed any customers who bought games before the switch 1, as you can’t play them on switch.

    The switch 1, they never fixed the joycons… They should have recalled and redesigned every joycon… But, for some reason people seem ok with that. Nintendo imho is actually fairly anti consumer

    Ps5 I ended up selling. It’s good but I figured I have hundreds of steam games, so there was no real benefit of having a ps5 too.

    Use the console you want… But, I’m never buying a Nintendo again. I’m happy to be able to continue playing the same games I bought 15 years ago on the latest steam deck





  • Trump also campaigns against happiness… The snowflake got upset that Kamala laughed at all

    Everything he does is about money. Even the YMCA dance crap clearly isn’t him having fun, it’s just he tried it once, it got attention, and so he uses it as a tool to get votes. It’s also why he keeps doing it. He has nothing original


  • I see some people make similar comments in the gun community here in Australia. Everything they disagree with is considered controversial

    These things are often in part military recruitment drives. There are plenty of airshows that don’t use fighter jets and don’t have military booths there (which I’m guessing is happening at that airshow).

    My aerobatics instructor (who actually once had a mid air collision and still managed to land the plane by using thrust to pitch) used to fly at a lot of smaller shows where it was genuinely about planes and the pilots, and no hidden agenda

    It doesn’t mean the pilots are there for the military, but it is a huge part of it imho. It’s cool to see military planes, but, they’re there so people go "wow, I want to join “air force”



  • It’s funny everyone is suddenly getting banned.

    I was on Reddit for at least 10 years. Made a new account, kept arguing against racists

    Got banned for racism, obviously by the Nazis. Never got banned in the last 2 decades. And pretty sure none of the racists got banned

    But it’s no surprise lemmy isn’t as big. That’s not a bad thing. Reddit is overrun by the same lobbyists and people who have ruined Facebook and made it no longer fun

    AI is literally just legalized theft of other people’s work. It won’t credit them to any capacity.

    Also, whilst it is adding some productivity, it’s also being used by absolute idiots who have no idea what they’re doing spreading bad info and causing other people more work.

    Every idiot is typing everything into chatgpt, getting a bad answer which is obvious to anyone half trained and then promoting it like it’s correct just because AI said it
