@ShaneReactions Came here to say the same thing. Glad you had it posted already, as now I don't have to post a lengthy, exhausting diatribe on the subject. Goodwill is a scam and a half.
@BloodNinja I always bear bias in mind and try to purchase resources that are as close to non-biased as one can possibly expect. Nothing is completely non-biased though. On a side note, you have to admit, it's an exciting hobby. Glad you enjoy it as well.
@BloodNinja One of my hobbies is researching serial killers, violent crime, and sexual crime. The books I've read, written specifically for law enforcement and psychologists, have stated it is indeed a problem. Kathryn Ramsay has a book where she states that as well. Not to mention the cases I have seen myself. If things have changed, I'm unaware of it.Mind you, I'm not talking about murder and such. Just the molestation.
@Crono1973 I totally agree. One just need look at how much time female child molesters (teachers and such) get as opposed to men. Not that I support diddling children or anything. There's nothing more reprehensible imo. I just think the female offender is an equal threat, and thus should be treated accordingly.
@BloodNinja Thank you for agreeing with me. I wasn't sure if I would get ganged up on for saying it. The mental health system here in the US has been practically dismantled by cutting funding. It's sad really.
I just wonder when this site will do some articles on games for the mentally ill. A much more marginalized group than all the others I keep hearing about. Much more prejudice is held against them as well.
@Darlinfan They tend to tell you you're going to burn in hell, and then end it with "god bless you"! I'm not saying this person is doing that, but I've seen a lot of it in my 52 years.
@JSDude1 Once again, I never said you weren't allowed to hold certain beliefs. I said "I have no problems with people holding different beliefs". Get the story straight.
@JSDude1 I don't agree. As an atheist myself, I think we need a lot less "god". It's coming though. Atheism and the irreligious are almost 30% of the population here in the United States at present. I have no problem with people having their own beliefs, but to say everybody needs more "god" is like pushing your beliefs onto others. Try to respect the fact that not everyone believes what you believe. It'll do you some good.
I don't do Pokemon. Give me a real RPG instead. Even if I did enjoy Pokemon, I wouldn't get it though. I don't do Free 2 Play games with microtransactions. I will quit gaming altogether before I support that model of game. I don't support microtransactions in any game.
@Wavey84 If that's how you do things, go for it. I'll just keep buying my physical editions as I seldom buy consoles for every generation. Have a great day man!
Boy does this article make me old! LOL. It's hard to believe i've experienced the entire evolution of video games. To anyone that complains about over saturation of video game genres, you should just be happy instead. Because you are truly living in the golden age of gaming. There has NEVER been so much choice in gaming!
@TMNHertl Ok, why don't you link to a study that proves Switch cartridges are the woe of the world and enlighten all us wicked, wicked physical collectors? Exactly what are the numbers corresponding to Switch cartridges and their carbon footprint? Obviously, you must know these numbers off the top of your head, being you seem so sure of yourself. Remember, facts are important. Do you drive a vehicle? Vehicle emissions are off the charts when it comes to environmental impact. Don't forget, those vehicles are loaded with plastic and a battery too. Don't be a hypocrite, sell your vehicle. Don't use taxis or ride the bus either. Nobody enjoys a hypocrite. I myself have a car for around town and such that runs on vegetable oil. Do you drink from plastic bottles? I do not. I use only solar and wind to power my house and outbuildings. Do you? If you use standard electricity delivered to you, you are using electricity that was produced by burning coal, natural gas, and petroleum. If you are using standard electricity delivered by a utility company, I suggest you have it turned off immediately, and do your part to help the environment! I also give free electricity to my elderly neighbor, which elimates her carbon footprint in the use of electricity, as well as use a greywater system for my property. Do you do this as well? Do you use cellphones? I don't. The carbon footprint left behind by the use of cellphones is immense (mostly being embodied carbon)! I've never been into getting attention so I've never really "shown off" my Switch collection to my friends. You know what they say about people that assume, right? You know, your Switch has a few batteries in it as well as a load of plastic... better get rid of that too bud! Lead us from darkness, oh Great Purveyor of Wisdom! I'm betting you never even link to a study. There's plenty more that I do for the environment, and I'm willing to bet they dwarf your efforts. The only difference between us is I do what I do and don't try to force my beliefs onto others. I'll be waiting for your reply. If you don't reply, I'll just go on with my life knowing I killed the debate. Also, if you don't do as much as I do for the environment, it's flat out selfish. So... tell me that story about my carbon footprint again, will you? Or does it not fit your narrative? If you're going to lecture me about environmental issues, you had better be doing as much as me, if not more, for the environment. Some day you'll realize that you just cannot do everything that can be done in order to help the environment, and that you still need to lead an enjoyable life. In fact, if you were doing everything you could, you wouldn't be on the internet at all. Because the carbon footprint of the internet is far more absurd than the carbon footprint of physical Switch games. Checkmate...
