Comment on Bought a 3DS XL last year
Goretantath@lemmy.world 9 hours agoIf you don’t consider the DS fat an upgrade to the GBA like the GBA was to the Gameboy Color, then I wouldn’t consider the DS on the same line the 3DS is. Basicly from the Gameboy DMG all the way up to the NEW 3DS XL is just one upgradeable line of handhelds that Nintendo just kept making better and better. That’s the “why” to there being so many, always has been. The Switch truely feels like its own third branch from Nintendo’s handheld and console lines with how ass backwards they regressed in features. No backwards compatability at all hardwarewise with a prior device so its definitely a new starting point.

Holy fuck, how much money did you blow on all these devices to know all this stuff?
Fuck, that much N addiction makes a crack cocaine habit seem healthy.

Dude, you asked for information and then you attack everyone who answers with knowledge you can find on wikipedia.
What’s wrong with you? If you don’t want answers don’t ask questions.
If you ask a question and someone answers it, the proper response is “Thank you for the detailed answer”, and not claiming that anyone who has knowledge you don’t must be a drug addict.
Get a grip, man.

Maybe teach the toddlers to grip their handheld game consoles and not drop them in the toilet, or maybe even prevent them from taking them into the restroom in the first place, then techs like me won’t get upset.

I didn’t say anything about toilets. In fact, I have never seen anyone drop handheld consoles into toilets. Is that something you do?
Please stop posting while drunk. Makes you look really dumb.

Believe it or not, sometimes a person can interact with many other people to learn things. They can also use the internet to look up information.
Money need not be spent for this knowledge.

No, but much time must be spent on this knowledge between all these various devices. It’s a waste of time.
I collect games that I’ve never played. You expect me to arrange a means to play over 5000 games to see if they even work?
Fuck, I’m an archiver, not a player.

That’s only a fragment of what I have here, I ain’t got time to play every game I have…

I mean this in a genuine way - I actually don’t expect you to spend your free time on things you don’t have interest in. That would, indeed, be a waste of your time.
Your archival of games is a great effort and a positive thing.
Some folks enjoy gaming, game history, and cultural critique of generational hardware. Those interests/hobbies are also valid. That’s not a waste of their time.
