He has total power because the GOP is a cult and the Republicans in the other branches of government choose to let him have unchecked power.

They’re sure pricing themselves to be in the “core” gaming space now.

Cyberpunk 2077 - a 5 year old game which most people have played and is still better on PC or PS5/Xbox; why is that a compelling launch title?

Because it’s portable! Oh, wait, it’s been playable portably for years on the Steam Deck and other PC handhelds.

I’m a Nintendo fan (of their games, not their business practices), have owned all of their consoles (even a Virtual Boy) and I don’t plan to go anywhere near a Switch 2 unless Nintendo gets humbled again. They’re at “Sony at PS3 launch” and “Microsoft at Xbox One launch” levels of arrogance currently (not to mention “Nintendo at 3DS launch”). The PS3 eventually came down to a reasonable price, but the 360 was my first and last Microsoft console.

cute and fun image yet they’re the most cut throat, “you’ll own nothing and like it” company

Them and Disney.

Yeah, I knew this was where we were headed on the evening of Nov. 6th, as did a lot of other people. Fascism follows a predictable pattern.

Sorry, all they’re offering is furrowed brows and strongly worded letters.

I know the Switch 2 is already doing stuff like Cyberpunk 2077

It’s 4 1/2 years old and already runs on other handhelds. Not really an impressive feat.

they already struggle to push out big budget tentpole franchises as is illustrated by Mario Kart World being the only big release title.

Yeah, I read that they only released something like 22 original titles in the 8 years the Switch has been around. That’s not counting any ports, remasters, and the like, which make up a hefty chunk of their Switch releases. They got away with it before because so few people had a Wii U, but they need to up their game to make the Switch 2 appealing to the masses, especially with the high price tag. It’s not a promising start, with announced titles being Donkey Kong Bananza (which looks great) and a whole bunch of Switch 1 upsells, including Metroid Prime 4, which will be released for both consoles. Feels like they’re trying to cannibalize their Switch 1 releases the way they did their Wii U ones, but 150 million Switches were sold. People already played these games if they were interested in them.

The difference is that nobody’s releasing games specifically made for the Deck. Some are including optimizations to make their games run decently well on it, but it’s not a AAA machine. I bought one knowing this full well and am satisfied playing less demanding games on it, but it’s not going to be playing new demanding games, unlike with dedicated consoles.

Having shitty luck helps, too.

Stick a fork in each end and eat it like corn on the cob.

Now there’s a Black Mirror episode with true horror!

The oldest Millennials are 44 now, and the term is still sometimes used to mean “young people.” But only by older people.

Whether that’s good or bad depends on what’s in the glass.

Counterpoint: the dumb people could have them as well.

That’s awesome, I hadn’t seen that yet. And so apropos!

"I had a permanent, constipated grimace on my face. I was revenge personified. "

Millennials are now “old” by internet standards, so Gen X and older are positively ancient.
