Then why are you getting angry while checking this sub and this post? Seems like you’re also getting worked up over it.
To be clear - this story came up in my feed because I have an interest in gaming, I wasn’t checking the sub directly nor looking to talk about the Nintendo Switch 2.
If I didn’t have my life’s struggles right now, I would still not be excited by the Nintendo Switch 2 because I think it’s a lacklustre upgrade. I’ve never been one to buy on launch and I know I will be able to afford the Switch 2 one day, it’s just a matter of figuring out how to save up or waiting for the price to drop…
I shared a story of how one of my longest friends ignores real problems myself and another friend live through because he’s sorted for life’s problems and doesn’t have to worry about anything other than buying himself a Switch 2. I said I envy people who have it that easy - and people decided to start personally attacking me before I decided to share my side. I’ve done my best to only reply to genuine people and not react, and I think I’ve done alright in that regard…
As for the economic angle - I really think that while a technically correct example, the Nintendo Switch 2 just doesn’t hold up because it’s not a necessary device for life. The iPhone is a far better example of necessary goods, that will suffer greatly etc.

I’ve also seen this specific news story on multiple websites and on TV in the past 24 hours. I’m sure it was shared on Lemmy in goodwill, but the original news story is most likely from a marketing press release that was made to get us talking about the cost of the Nintendo Switch 2.
If Nintendo don’t like buzz this story creates, they will adjust the pricing accordingly. We’re all just cogs in a machine. I’m just a part that couldn’t take the stress and made a noise.

I’m in Australia and my spouse has been on the waiting list for surgery for nearly 3 years - unable to walk more than 20 metres, unable to work. I’m the sole earner for our household.
So yeah I get there are differences in privilege. What I’m saying is that I envy people who don’t have to worry about their survival. I am not sorry I came off harsh about it, I am hurting right now and the responses I’ve received have only amplified the rage I feel at the privilidged.

I don’t blame the historians anymore, I blame the societies they published their work in.
Imagine telling Victorian era people about South East Asian queerness. They’d have you hanged just for describing what you saw.

I’m a gay man and have personally sucked hundreds of dicks.
But I’m too prudish to use a urinal.
That’s how fucked up western culture is.

Good ol capitalism breeding innovation. And then acquiring the innovation, cloning it poorly and killing it off so the market has no access to the product and service they wanted. Innovative!

I think Putin thought of this first, that’s why huge queens Graham, McConnell and Gingrich are all bending the knee.

I like the idea social media is for kids only and adults are banned. If that applies to advertisers and bots too then it could be a winner!
