I think that last part hits it hardest. Especially when you consider most of the 360’s sales where US.
- Comment on World's Best-selling Video Game Consoles 5 days ago:
I’m actually shocked how low 360/ps3 are.
I felt like everyone I know has at least owned one, and they where more consoles where actually used as Netflix boxes back then out of necessity due to lack of good smart TVs or set top boxes.
Plus they had an extra 5 years of being around, not to count the fact most early adopters bought another twice, especially with the 360 due to RROD.

“I don’t get it’s its always wild to me to see HOAs being run by the shittiest of people in your country and apparently they can do whatever they want.”
I envy your naivitivity. That’s literally just how all leadership works here. I’m so fucking tired dawg.

Unironically yes, new families affording homes is more important than a return on investment for people who are lriveleved enough to own them.
Housing as an investment is fucked, and nobody but the individuals living their should own a home.

Yeah I’ll take ugly neighborhoods over predatory organizations run by nimby’s designed to keep housing prices up.

Yeah he also had a single testicle, what’s you’re point?

Lmao what is this comment?
Are you really conflating the idea that people want art made by people with racism and hard-right politics?

- Comment on Despite cutting the gags, Borderlands 4's PC specs say it still needs 100GB of SSD space 3 months ago:
Yes, it depends the game.
There are 20gb games that require much faster medium than retail WoW which is like 80gigs, despite the engines lineage tracing back to when it would’ve been stored on rust made by Maxtor.

Already done! Actually one of the more popular things to do with a hacked Wii back in the day.
- Comment on Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game 5 months ago:
It might feel wrong to call their last proper sit down at a couch/desk singeplayer experience a “classic”, but its older than Half-Life one was when it came out.

Its like skyrim, with wait… Yeah I think that’s just skyrim.

Do straight dudes think this happens? Or just the ones who still have to attend homeroom five days a week?

How is this thing selling faster than switch 1?
- Comment on EA cancels multiple projects from Apex and Titanfall developer Respawn with more layoffs 8 months ago:
God I’m kinda jealous of the guys who’re like 10-15 years older. Like at least Westwood got out a good amount of CnC games before they caught the knife.
Respawn was killed just as it was really finding its place in the world…
- Comment on Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 8 months ago:
I think the takeaway is “The Nintendo Switch 2 isn’t the thing you should be pissed about when these tariffs are going to cause a lot more problems for way more people.”
- Comment on Ex-PlayStation exec argues 'only the dog can hear' differences between consoles and gaming PCs: 'They're all quite similar' 8 months ago:
My PC is so backwards compatible it can run games meant for OS’s my OS’s main competitor, and their ancestors as well.
Better yet it can literally run those OS’s over things like KVM/Qemu and DOSBox.
- Comment on Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2? 8 months ago:
Yes but that group by in large won’t be buying a switch 2 for at least a couple of years. $450 per console plus $80 a game is brutal, especially if you’re buying for more than one kid.
On the other hand a switch lite can be had for like $100 and used games aren’t too expensive either.
The sort of people who bought a switch at launch, after drinking Nintendo NX leaks like kool-aid, aren’t as impressed this time around.
Lifetime sales won’t be affected nearly as hard, but I don’t know that the first year will be as big as the OG switch’s.

The steam deck can play literally any Mario Kart except for MK World…
- Comment on Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2? 8 months ago:
What’s the difference?
- Comment on Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2? 8 months ago:
I think to the “early adopter” crowd, the people like me who where huffing Nintendo “NX” leaks back in 2016, the more “core” audience of people from the ages of late teens to however old James Rolfe is now.
Those people will probably buy a steam deck before a switch 2. There are a lot of them.
Though not as many people as there are like my ex-sister-in-law and her new bf who put together have 4 kids including my niece. The Linux PC I built them to make sure their kids had a good puter is enough trouble. I don’t see them even considering them for their kids.

Are they not both VoIP/Im clients?
Or is it only a viable alternative if they recreate the UI because god forbid it look different?
