Did anyone check with reddit
Blanket no on that one
- Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 1 day ago:
The only issue is, it took years for that reality to sink into the minds of the electorate in the UK, and in the meantime the UK’s economy suffered considerably.
- Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 1 day ago:
I’ve been feeling like there are quite a few parallels to the Brexit mess in this past election and this administration’s policies. It took a while for the reality of Brexit to evaporate away the magical thinking; I think it’s just a matter of time before the same happens here as the cost of living shoots up as a result of these tariffs.

This is the kind of creature comfort inconvenience that will tank this administration’s popularity. Americans are fickle and will not accept this kind of disruption to their lives.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 hands-on reveals a proper generational upgrade, though its biggest new idea remains unproven 1 day ago:
I’m so excited to see benchmarks. Nintendo’s offering has a 1080p screen, but I’m curious to see if it actually has more horsepower than the deck and its 720p(ish) screen. My guess is it doesn’t in handheld mode.
Knowing Nintendo, we won’t know until June. Gonna hop over to digital foundry now to see what their impressions of the Wednesday direct was.

Why would I need that when I already have a cube that plays games?!?

I was downvoted back to hell for saying the mouse was meh.
I see that comment of yours at -1, really not all that bad imo. Still dumb to downvote people for honest opinions, imo.

I was watching the nextlander coverage and they were hoping for “burnout kart”
- Comment on GameChat - Nintendo Switch 2 3 days ago:
Sounds like there’s actually a free roam feature and an overworld in the new Mario kart game so this actually makes this conversation a possibility
- Comment on The Switch 2 Nintendo Direct Will Be 60 Minutes Long, Nintendo Confirms 4 days ago:
I dunno why people are so downvote heavy in this comm…
Yeah I agree that Nintendo has seen the most success when they have a compelling gimmick; time will tell if the same gimmick with more power will do the trick. I doubt the mouse gimmick will be more than a novelty, but we’ll see what they show tomorrow.

Besides crushing emulators, how will Nintendo compete?
The same way they have been for a while, by making charming, accessible, and fun games. The average consumer doesn’t care about how litigious they are, unfortunately.

Do you find there is less AI slop results than Google/bing?
- Comment on The Mediocrity of Modern Google. 5 days ago:
I take it that means you feel it’s worth the cost? I have a hard time since search is something I’ve been so used to being free

This certainly doesn’t make me want a flipper any less than I already do. Seems so fun to mess with

They only specifically block the piracy community on db0’s instance, to my knowledge.
- Comment on Kill your Feeds - Stop letting algorithms dictate how you think 4 weeks ago:
Agreed, I was mostly joking, but there are still algorithms that drive the hot and controversial sorting. The fact that you can look up how those algorithms works is also a major difference.

- Comment on Pokemon GO Fest 2025 is Bringing the Heat with Volcanion, Zacaian, Zamazenta, and a Global Raid! 4 weeks ago:
That’s a decent reason to play. So long as you know what data they’re sucking up and are ok with it, more power to you. What’s crazy to me is I live pretty close to a couple of gyms and I constantly see people drive up and play from their cars. Now that I think completely defeats the purpose.
- Comment on Pokemon GO Fest 2025 is Bringing the Heat with Volcanion, Zacaian, Zamazenta, and a Global Raid! 4 weeks ago:
Been clean from this game for a few years now. It’s really not worth it; Niantic just uses it as a geospatial data harvesting tool rather than focusing on making an entertaining game, imo. There’s a reason all their other games have been failures, the Pokemon IP is the only thing keeping this game afloat.

Same, 1337x is right there, why would hand them extra revenue on top of everything I was already sending them? Now they get nothing.
