It was the fact that they didn’t show a new UI or added features to the base console. It’s effectively only a Nintendo game player and nothing else where as previous consoles were also note taking apps and a calendar and you could doodle animations or even take photos on some of the DSs.

They added no other functionality to this console and left it with less than previous ones. It only plays the games and that’s it.

At least a steam deck you can use a browser and watch videos on it too if you really wanted. The only reason to buy the switch is the games now which makes the price per game astronomical effectively.

You are gonna spend over $700 for a few first party games?

I’m just asking cause that’s the cost, $500 console plus extra controller plus the games quickly blooms into nearly a $1000 purchase for a few games.

I just can’t justify spending $250 per game I would play on it currently.

None its definitely the streamers who they want these in the hands of first.

Oh man the N64 graphics popularity seems to be really coming to a head.
I’m not against it but I want the joy of a spyro like game not the graphics.

Hey. No.

You have the worst apologies for being a jerk. In fact you still haven’t.

This is a conversation about the genre. Where else to talk about the genre. It may not have been the conversation you wanted on it and didn’t like that I didn’t enjoy it your way and then made a bunch of incorrect statements on my point and then on putting words in my mouth.

Oh good though I swayed you into barely conceding and that you still think you can control other people into not having conversations you don’t like about a topic you like by being rude about them not enjoying it your way.

Sorry I’m not you.

So you came into a thread talking about the classification of a genre with admittedly the sole purpose of making condescending jabs at people who enjoy said genre,

I never claimed you were attacking anything but the genre

Seriously dude?

Also who cares about Lemmy downvotes. I saw someone downvote a question and upvote an absolutely false answer. People are called lemmings here. And you are most of the downvotes between you and me as I am yours for not adding to a conversation in good faith.

No you immediately took criticism of a genre as a personal attack because of your own issues. You take it as poor communication because of your own interpretation and the pushback I am giving for your misunderstanding of my point.

I have been consistent with saying it’s a short term fun game for me and that I find other games to be more rewarding.

Don’t blame others for being offended by other peoples opinions. I added to the conversation with an offer of classification of passive horde survivor and an explanation of how I got there.
I’m even having a pleasant conversation about that right next to yours where you have been antagonistic.

I don’t even expect anything from you other than to stop insisting I care if you have fun playing a game I only mildly enjoy.

No. Pretty much exactly not that and I see you also suffer the issue.

None of that is correct. And directly against what I just said.

And I contributed a name.

Nice, yeah I get it. I keep struggling to play my much slower games when it’s that late part of night and have decided to beat all my Roguelikes I have, but I can’t help but admit I’d rather be playing Katamari Damacy.
Now that’s how I destress. But that’s very passive.

Oh sure. It’s a pointed jab at asking if people have tried games I enjoy while being a little condescending of a genre I find to be best at filling short moments.

It just doesn’t match that comic cause that’s not demanding people stop enjoying something they like.

If people can’t separate criticism of a genre as not criticism of them I can’t help them either.

No I didn’t request anyone else to stop having fun I am just pointing out my interpretation of the games and the name I use for them.

Why does my opinion on it make you think that I am demanding you stop playing unless you care what others think about your own free time?
I just like it differently and am voicing that. Your take as an attack means you feel a need to defend it preemptively, and over assume I care about you playing it.

Oh for sure. I actually discovered vampire survivors after finding its mobile clones and liked them all but for 20 minutes at a time.

Once I tried to play the OG I just couldn’t help but think of it as a passive game though and it lost my interest for long term play sessions. I think it’s an import point that they are passive.

Boring after 20 minutes type games?

Its a passive horde survival game.

The game play is rotating the stick in a rough circle so you keep moving that you can do without even having to look at the screen while you hoover up tiny pellets that make you stronger to survive more blobs of color on the screen.
Have any of you ever tried risk of rain or heck even cuphead? You can have rapid gameplay and a point to it. This feels like the modern bathroom book as a game. Fun but just enough to be over when you have finished something more worth your time.

Oh yeah.
Me mold.

Lemon jello.
Just before it sets.

You say as dozens of foaming mouth lemmings pile on thinking themselves somehow as good for being this ingrained in their group think.

In other words, yeah, totally agree.

Yeah there is no point in eating, you will just shit it out later so best to not bother at all.

Thanks for now. Bye.

What you trying to be on skynets good side or something?

Mercury. Be mad and dance at your own parties while everyone else loses their head.
