PS3 was my last console.

I stopped buying’em when they started charging for 2nd internet.

Just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.

Because we already have phones.

The solution is to release games for phones that require a controller, but most companies aren’t willing to be the first ones to do it.

Why do people spend that much money?!

Conditioning. They have more money so they spend it proportionally.

Yuck, 1/4th the performance of a 3060?

I already have a 3060 laptop lmao. You can buy a 4070 lenovo laptop at walmart for $1k.

And nintendo wants to start charging $80 for games? On top of paying an extra subscription to use our own internet? Yeah, fuck that.

Sail the high seas. Your wallet and your dignity will be better off for it.

Which is a shame.

I’ll always be able to play World at War multiplayer because it supports LAN and player-hosted servers.

I don’t know if the newer ones support LAN or hosting our own servers, but if they don’t then it would mean we’re essentially renting access to the game’s multiplayer features.

It really means we’re going backwards just to make businesses richer than us even richer at our expense.

Sounds like a system in need of reform.

Looks like people with money can just use the law to bully those without.

Copyright and patent laws need to die.

I pirated breath of the wild years ago and still haven’t beaten it.

I ended up replaying and finishing Wind Waker on Dolphin though.

Based.

We need more anti-consumers like yourself. This is how we fight back.

Copyright and patent laws should go away entirely.

This is why we should’ve been pirating from the beginning.

All the money we give these scumfucks is being used against us.

I thought copyright and patent laws were supposed to incentivize innovation, not stifle it.

Just kidding! They always existed to make rich people richer at the expense of useful idiots.

Might be cool to have AI come up with a bunch of mechanics to patent.

Heck yeah.

Torzu seems to be the logical successor to Yuzu.

Copyright and patent laws need to die.

Victims of Stockholm Syndrome always focus on what their abusers provide, but never on what they take away.

You know, sometimes less is more.

Just because there’s more “stuff” in a game like Violet doesn’t mean it adds to the overall experience. Sometimes it detracts from it. A lot of times it detracts from it.

This is of course all subjective and if you enjoy the additional mechanics, it’s good you have them. There are of course others out there who would disagree with you and appreciate a more “core” experience in a Pokemon game.

Pokémon: Violet except: it’s 2D, scarcely animated, without double-battles, without shinies, without several types, without terastallizing, without the open world, without the rideable legendary, and so on.

In my opinion, they can keep everything you’ve mentioned except terastallizing, a rideable legendary, and probably a good amount of your “and so on.” I’m pretty sure Pokemon games have had an open world since the beginning, but maybe some people have different ideas of what constitutes an open world.

Personally, I’d be fine if they kept physical and special damage separate.

But things like “Dynamaxing” would be a no-go.
