Average reaction of a Nintendo fanboy to abuse:

- Comment on Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2? 2 days ago:
“In a sense, Nintendo is the victim of its own strategic foresight. With the Switch, it was the first to spot that the narrowing gap in processing power between mobile and at-home devices had enabled a unification of handheld and home gaming experiences.”
I was out after this. This is patently wrong. Crucially, Nintendo capitalised on the failure of the vita using the exact same strategy but with a caveat: 3rd party memory cards.
The PSVita had the power to play former gen games in a compact format and MUCH better connectivity than the switch. It failed on the stupid memory cards. Nintendo did not. That’s pretty much it. Sony had the AAA handheld market with the PSP and blew it. I’d be very surprised if something like this wasn’t uttered by an MBA regard in sony’s corpo structure:
“If we divide our playerbase between handheld and dedicated living room console too much it will damage our business”.
So instead of capitalising on a massive library of games that could easily have been ported to a handheld format (the PS4 had 1,4TFlops, we’ve surpased that on mobile before the PS5 launched) SONY decided to double down on AAA and subsequently in live service games, and here we are…
If someone can create a handheld AAA console is a team lead by mark cerny with the support of AMD. To this day I don’t know how we end up with PS portal instead…
So here we are, Sony carved out a niche (AAA and fidelity) from the Nintendo handheld success, and just decided to sit on their hands with it. There was exactly 0 foresight from Nintendo. They knew from the beginning the living room was lost to either MS or Sony to begin with.

100% this.

- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 hands-on reveals a proper generational upgrade, though its biggest new idea remains unproven 5 days ago:
Nintendo commands a (re)legion of fanatics. I was downvoted back to hell for saying the mouse was meh. We’ve had that in the legion go and it’s extremely uncomfortable and not suitable for longer sessions of play. The fact they don’t go bananza with touchscreen but rather take a shitty facsimile of a mouse tells you two things: Nintendo has idiots at the helm Nintendo is dead scared of the steam deck and is actively promoting an image of “we can do pc too”

It apes what lenovo already did and will be equally janky if not worse. At least it comes bundled with the console, but, meh.

I have no clue what happened in the world and what made people become this religious about corporations.
- Comment on GameCube Coming To Nintendo Switch Online With 3 Games At Launch 6 days ago:
We’re just looking at it thusly: If a community can make ad hoc janky tools to emulate a console, why can’t the platform holder do it? The answer as usual is money. Nintendo could release a wealth of gamecube games with minimal effort, especially with their 1st party library that can eschew music licensing and so on. But no, 3 games, we don’t want the scrubs to play windwaker instead of purchasing the V3 of BoTW… So, pardon me if I don’t consider this something to be excited for when it ostensibly is being purposefully trickled down.
If they would add an easy back compat on release to the full library of GC cames I’d buy the S2 day one. As is, I’ll keep emulating on the deck and sailing the high seas.

- Comment on Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Has Released on GOG! 1 week ago:
It’s not even skill, it’s laziness and pride. The game has a quest tracker (limited to 3 concurrent quests) and also tracks quest characters. It’s just sheer utter laziness and refusal to read anything beyond a sentence and the hubris to think that if they are stuck, it’s the game’s problem, the issue is never them, they are never to blame for any shortcoming or inadequacy. That’s why they mentioned Avowed, it’s as deprived of any actual interactivity as it can be. It’s completely a fantasy on rails shooter. It’s basically a mobile game sold on steam for 70€.
- Comment on Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Has Released on GOG! 1 week ago:
That was exactly the reason. The game has quest tracking but it’s limited to 3 active quests. It also has an extensive quest log. Rather than calling out their obvious incapability of reading a sentence, I opted to direct them towards games more geared to the effort they are ostensibly willing to put into a game. The fact them and their alt/cronies turned this into a brigade, should inform anyone what is the level of human being we’re dealing with here. Victimhood olympics, the US merican specials. Hasan Minaj put it better than I ever will be able to. Anything for fake sympathy points.

- Comment on Content moderation is what a 21st century hazardous job looks like 1 week ago:
COPD is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide. That’s the entire universe of people in the world.
I guess WHO also downplays mental health because their take is actually quite similar to my take, you know, the only responsible adult in this thread…
I don’t know why I’m even bothering to entertain this conversation. Good day.
- Comment on Content moderation is what a 21st century hazardous job looks like 1 week ago:
Oh ffs, grow up. Nobody is downplaying the effects of mental health, just asking people to be reasonable. That’s, however, anno 2025, too much to ask. Everyone exists in hyperbole and asinine takes.
PTSD is eminently treatable and manageable. It doesn’t naturally degenerate, it sucks but you can live till you’re old. Black lung, COPD are chronic, degenerative diseases that will eventually make you gasp for air till you die while your loved ones look on without being able to do anything.
This is beyond stupid, I don’t know when we, as a civilisation, reached a point where people can’t understand shades of grey anymore and live in absolutes only.

- Comment on Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Has Released on GOG! 1 week ago:
Every single one of the components of my comment are factual, I did not insult anyone, and gave pretty good advice, recommending a good game that a lot of people like. The way they are interpreted is not on me.
- Comment on Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Has Released on GOG! 1 week ago:
Is it though? In a world of limited time refunds, someone complains about something that is the exact ethos of a game, I tell them, probably not for you, play AC shadows, which is undoubtedly a good game for people who want a more accessible open world experience than KCD that is less demanding of your attention and less punishing of your time. Likely, in time for a full refund so they’re not stuck with something they find obnoxious, but I’m the ass for telling someone not to stick to something they clearly don’t like and get something more tailored to their taste. Maybe you should take your own advice, stick with me, ask me what I mean, go past whatever you interpreted my comment meant initially and see if it’s better to have someone frustrated at a game or have them play something they will like better.
- Comment on Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Has Released on GOG! 1 week ago:
Wholeheartedly disagree, these are the same arguments levied against the souls games and yet, it’s that opaqueness and steep learning curve that created such a tight knit and engrossing community. Arguably, some of the best games ever made.
