  its nintendo, im sure they’re going to find some way to raise the price for everyone else too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  using last-gen hardware in their consoles

  I mean there’s nothing inherently wrong with that (if only they charged last-gen prices as well lol)

  but anyways here’s a bunch more shit they’ve done:

  • killing emulation projects
  • patenting basic gameplay elements
  • sued a man so hard he was forced to pay them part of his income for the rest of his life
  • charging full price for basic rereleases

  and for a few older ones, just to show that they’ve been shitty this whole time, actually:

  • attempting to kill game cheating devices (like the game genie)
  • preventing 3rd parties from releasing games on competitor’s consoles, essentially giving themselves a monopoly
  • attempting to kill video game rentals
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Note: before tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i said ubisoft but quality stuff by sony or microsoft (or any big studio) goes on sale too like a year after its released

  for nintendo, a 7 year old rerelease of an 11 year old game is full price! even at retail! and the used copies aren’t much cheaper!

  the only mario games on switch that go on sale are the mario + rabbids games, which are pretty good (definitely better than some 1st party nintendo stuff). the reason they go on sale, well, they’re published by ubisoft!

  • actually dangerous extremist

  • guy in a ninja costume with a knife

  • weird meme

  • completely made up stereotype

  1/4: do better next time!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Note: before tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  also, at least ubisoft shit goes on sale, and the used copies are less expensive…

  for nintendo, once in a blue moon the game will have a 10$ discount and that’s it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love you⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yikes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch-2⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  remember when they released a 60$ HD upscale of a 40$ game that, itself, was at some point permanently discounted to 20$?

  no i meant that

  Screenshot of the top of the image, which is garbled text which starts out somewhat normal looking then gets smaller and more indecipherable before turning into a gray bar. Then there is the letter “g” in white.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good morning.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  what the hell is happening to the censored text at the top

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No good excuse to still be on Xitter⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d rather have the unsolicited linux advice tbh

  but anyways that’s not super relevant because there very much is still racism on lemmy…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨____⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  what are those pathetic compression algorithms of yours???

  The above image (a meme where a son and his dad sit in a car; the son says "Dad why is my sister named Makeup Tutorials?; the dad replies “Because it was in your mother’s search history”, the son replies “Thanks, dad” and the dad replies "No problem, "), but now heavily compressed to the point you can’t read the text and the son and dad’s face are nothing more than pixelated blobs of color

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They just had to one up the TikTok ban⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  yea, i see your point, but it’s the only one that came to mind on the spot

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They just had to one up the TikTok ban⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  iirc there are many templates that follow the “something good, something better, something bad”

  the one i can think of right now is this one: meme template in 3 panels: in the first we see a finger pressing a button labeled “upgrade”, in the second we see that same finger pressing the same “upgrade” button, and in the third, tinted red and with a lot of motion blur, the finger is now pressing a “FUCK GO BACK” button

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They just had to one up the TikTok ban⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  i agree but can we not use ableist memes for this please

  basically, someone online (usually a man) who replies to another person (usually a woman) in a condescending tone, or giving unsolicited advice, that sorta stuff

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let people just use what they want, okay? It's their choice.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  and when they do figure out the unintuitive UX, they’re met with an avalanche of reply guys and, if they’re Black, a fuckload of overt and covert racism that everyone else will ignore…

  there’s a reason why most people on the fedi are white men in tech

  only the queer community seems to have managed to carve itself a place on the fedi, and even it has an issue with rampant racism…
