Reddit paypiggies who are missing half their brain and have no self control.

Anyway, blame them for 80$ games becoming the industry standard. Itโ€™s inevitable now.

I pre-ordered a switch 2 and a pro controller (sans gaymes). Keeping it in the box unused on the first firmware until it can be hacked and play pirated games.

$80 for mario kart are you kidding? Blur on Xbox 360/PC is the best version of mario kart ever and its free. I don't have any friends to play with anyways so I can wait it out.

One of the best times in my life was playing games like Blur and Generals at LANs years and years and years ago. I can't believe LAN parties aren't a thing anymore, zoomie got robbed of his birthright. It wasn't just the games it was also the community comradery.

Covid dropped IQ by 15 points across the general population. Combine that with dysgenic breeding practices and more food stamps and government handouts than ever and this is the disgusting result. A nation of mulatto goyslaves rushing to buy a re skinned version of a 10 year old console to play a re skinned version of a 30 year old game for little children. Global thermonuclear war canโ€™t come soon enough.

The Force Awakens is one the highest grossing movies of all time yet its a piece of shit.

The S2 was always gonna make some money since its basically a Switch Pro and Nintendo is the Disney of Gaming with tons of "whales" who gonna throw money at it no matter what.

Longterm unless they make S2 Lite or a cheaper model they will have an issue since no one is gonna hand their kids a 400 dollar console.

I used to play games but just stopped for some reason.. I built a cheapish gaming pc this year (3070/5700x3d) to play games, I haven't even finished oblivion that I started back in 2019 on a 4790k/rx580. They just don't hold my attention anymore, BG3 was fun for a while though. I was rude in my post hombre please accept my apology.

For some people it's the new thing. GTA6 isn't out until next year, so some people buy this now.
There's also still people riding the post-lockdown release wave, where because their rights were restricted they now like for today instead of living for retirement at 65.

As for others...
Sometimes you say don't buy the device, damn the practices, these are shit policies, and then someone goes "hey let's go to the store" and they just happen to have Switch Pros available right there, you get all giddy, you spend your money and then you make videos contradicting the last 6 months of your work, betraying millions of people including yourself, and betraying God.

I can sometimes play the classics from the 90s or some decent indie titles for longer periods, albeit this is rare. Mostly it's 5-30 mins at max before I go "fuck this, I got stuff to do".
Gaming was (and still is, if done occasionally) fun, but at some point you just grow up. Unless you are the one buying dinosaur dungarees so you can wear them while eating Cheerios and watching cartoons on Saturdays, and make social media post how you "did an adult today" and reward yourself with a new game.
At some point you just have let go of your youth.
Some people can't, and decide to live their life in the fantasy world, and these are the ones who end up cutting of their cocks.

This is the only high IQ way of doing it. It removes online play though, but Nintendo has never really supported quality online servers.

Because the Switch 1 is 13 years old. That's such a long time that it filtered into every household which makes it easier for people to justify getting a new one.

20% was wasting 80% of their money.
Now 80% is wasting 90% of their money.
It's a matter of scale.
