@Yorsshitposter @sjw you can't make this shit up lol

i hope everyone who pre ordered this shit learns their lesson

@LukeAlmighty that's fucking hilarious

@Jazzy_Butts yeah i feel the same way about ET Atari

@Giganova8 @deprecated_ii what the fuck how come nobody told me the second season was airing and has been for a month now???!!

it's funny how i can pass out in the middle of the day underneath a shit ton of blankets, a jacket, and jeans... but when it comes time to go to bed at night i need to be butt ass naked with a cooling blanket otherwise i sweat so much i wake up.

@mangeurdenuage @rasterman @pawlicker @natsock @coolboymew @mrsaturday @Nudhul @why i can't remember what game it was, but there was a multi platform game that actually was best played on the wii u for some reason lol.

@natsock @rasterman @coolboymew @mangeurdenuage @mrsaturday @why yeah and that brand new hardware is always really expensive. you don't want to fracture your consumer base too much either. the console market is completely different from the raw hardware market, or even the phone market.

nintendo actually has released new revisions of the switch also, with better battery life, better screen, etc. but they were at most $50 more and that was just for a slightly better screen.

the other thing is that nintendo actually develops lots of games, unlike playstation and microsoft (who are publishers at best), so a lot of their money goes there instead of focusing on new console hardware for other people to publish games to. for good reason, too, because part of the reason why the switch has sold so well is because you can't get the games anywhere else (unless via emulation) and most of the games, notably the in-house ones that nintendo develops and finances, are phenomenal.

@coolboymew @rasterman @natsock @mangeurdenuage @mrsaturday @why yeah the dock would essentially have to be a translation layer of sorts. it'd get really fuckin weird. it definitely wouldn't be able to add hardware to the switch itself, so it would have to interpret all the calls coming from the switch with its own hardware or something. at the very least, that would still let the switch be played in handheld mode and it would likely be a lot cheaper (in terms of parts) to produce.

of course this is me just talking out of my ass. i don't know nearly enough about programming or the switch to know if this is even a possibility. and if it's not, i really don't know what direction nintendo goes until maybe a few years from now when it is more feasible to release a switch 2.

@LukeAlmighty the cost of a cheaper platform lol. the index is like twice the price but hey at least it won't be full of facebook shit (and it is just better in general).

@coolboymew @rasterman @natsock @mangeurdenuage @mrsaturday @why maybe "completely new console" is a bad way of putting it. an add-on for the switch, like an enhanced dock or something, might be what they shoot out. i really just don't think a portable system that's more powerful than the switch (at least, for modern standards) is in the cards at the moment. there are battery life and cost issues.

@LukeAlmighty the index is the best one hands-down, but it's gonna' cost you. unfortunately the next best is probably the oculus quest... really good bang for your buck, but you have to deal with meta bullshit.
