I may agree with the message, but making children's books about this is just as cringe as LGBT books for children.

It seems like I'm the only person who realizes that the Tesla riots are a psyop made to get people to actually buy those cars. No better way to get people to buy those backdoored, botnet cars then to make any opposition to them look cringe.

And while we are on the topic of the Switch 2, I am reminded of what I was thinking when the original Switch was announced. I wanted Nintendo to go all out with the system, but fail and go third-party, just to say that they went out with a bang because Sega did the same thing and that's why the Dreamcast was fondly remembered.

I kind of felt that even Nintendo themselves had that mindset when developing games for the Switch. It was like they had a feeling like this might be their last console, so might as well give them the ultimate Nintendo experience. They revitalized both Mario and Zelda (even though the latter started on Wii U) much like how Sega revitalized Sonic and to a lesser extent, Phantasy Star during the Dreamcast era. And they also gave everyone the ultimate Super Smash Bros experience.

But in doing so, they kind of shot themselves in the foot because there is not much to go from there. Sure, the new open-world Zelda formula has more room for improvement, but what is there to excite people? Even Sakurai admits that he doesn't know how to top SSBU, so what does the Switch 2 have that could potentially excite people?

I simply cannot be excited for the Switch 2 no matter how many new gimmicks or new games they show. Honestly, I can't be excited for new consoles at all anymore.

It used to be that every new console generation promised a new experience. That doesn't happen anymore and the fact that Nintendo's next console is simply called "Switch 2" feels like a reflection of that. I always felt that unique names for consoles brought excitement because it seemed like each new console brought a completely different vibe, even if it was from the same company.

And I don't see the point in shelling $200-$400 dollars for marginally better graphics. Graphical leaps don't happen anymore and we have already reached lifelike graphics with games like Unrecord anyway (portable devices still have a long way to go for games like that but still). The only benefit of having more processing power at that point would be for larger worlds and AI integration, and many people do not want the latter.
