@Anti-Matter I once used gamepass to test to see if i liked a game... I did like the game then i bought it on switch

(it's a good tool for testing games to see if you like them in my opinion)

@Anti-Matter
Ideas aren't "dumb" based on whether you're personally interested or not.

Plenty of ppl have no interest in owning games, and only care about the experience playing them. Just like people who rent movies. They don't want some massive DVD collection, they just want to watch a movie and move on to the next. There's nothing dumb about that. It might not be your preference, but it is the preference of millions of gamers, and that's the market it caters to. So on the contrary, it's not dumb, it's incredibly smart.

The way you've labeled and categorized those who are interested in the service as "cheapskates" shows your disgust toward anyone who doesn't share your views. There are certainly cheapskates out there, no question, but it's wrong to apply that label across the board toward everyone interested in Gamepass. And that's a story all too common nowadays. Demonize and caricaturize anyone with different views (under the pretense your view is absolutely correct, of course) to make it easier to justify hate toward them, because that's far easier than understanding their perspective with empathy and reassessing your own beliefs.

@JaxonH Do people rent movies anymore? I thought everyone had moved over to streaming services years ago

@TommyTendo Physical renting stores are fewer, but it's still possible. There's a few sites around that allow it, and any digital storefront allows it as an option. Don't forget, not every movie is going to be on streaming services, so there's still a place for renting.

@TommyTendo I have rented a few digital movies when they are super cheap (~ 1 €) and they aren't available in the usual subscription services.

@TommyTendo I don’t know about all the people in the world but we still rent when they are not available on the other major streaming services.

@1UP_MARIO Oh okay. I don't think we have any physical stores left where you can rent movies.
They seemed to vanish shortly after blurays came out.

@TommyTendo
Physical rentals are now rare. But digital rentals are prevalent.

Streaming subscription services are also a form of rental similar to Gamepass, as it provides access for a lower fee than it would cost for full ownership.

@TommyTendo I meant digital rentals

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Trailer drops Tomorrow at 6AM PT

@Aozz101x Yay!

speculating/predicting what Pokémon Scarlet e Pokémon Violet could show tommorow

I just checked the NSO app before playing MK8D today, just got the Mute City background for my icon! In that one promotional picture, I do remember seeing the background for SNES Rainbow Road, which I'd also like, though that hasn't been made available yet since it's part of the Triforce Cup.

Ah dang, I was hoping I'd finally get to have a Lemmy icon after seeing Roy, Morton and Iggy earlier. Glad there's ones of Boo now though. Hoping next month is Metroid Dread or DKC Tropical Freeze.

I'm surprised I can't find any reviews of Rabbids Party of Legends since it's been out for months, or longer, in China. This is the Rabbids party game releasing for english at the end of june.

@WoomyNNYes
Rabbids with their "destructive" nature turned the holy books into flying paper aeroplanes lol.
They ripped the papers from holy books.
And Lord Buddha did something to them.

I never knew the full version of both variants of The Edge of Dawn was on music services like iTunes, the Fire Emblem Three Houses special edition soundtrack only had Seasons of Warfare short version.

check out the second trailer for Pokémon Scarlet e Violet and check out how a Star Fox could be on Switch and check out the inspiration behind the new Pokemon of Pokémon Scarlet e Pokémon Violet

HELP!

PLEASE SEND HELP!

I've made the mistake of starting to scroll through all the Switch games on Play-Asia. I'm only 14 pages in, 86 more to go, and already have 4 games in my basket.

This could be a life or death situation developing here...

@gcunit it was nice knowing you. Once the addiction takes hold, that is that.
