@Willo567 all he's done since he arrived on this site is cry nonstop...I don't even have to read his posts to know what he's gonna say. Quick skim and yep, moaning again. Non stop misery...glass half empty. Life's too short.

@The_Nintend_Pedant It was a mixture really, MD stuff I would rent out from Blockbuster etc and make a copy, or make copies of my games and give them to friends. SNES was different as I had a US model modded to play Japanese games plus the UK SNES stuff was a bit lame and 50Hz.

I got a lot of SNES stuff that were betas/unfinished/unreleased through people who knew devs, I think after a while you stop seeing value in the games when you don't pay for them and that's when something clicked. The conscience kicked in I suppose - plus that feeling of holding the packaging in your hand, taking the game out for the first time (even more so with Japanese imports), feeling the effort that went in.

@The_Nintend_Pedant that’s a great question…I will look at this tomorrow morning. Had a heavy couple of days, one of my best friends was over from NYC…we partied well…

@Fiergala it’s a mad one. Either way enjoy your weekend.

@Fiergala I appreciate a bit of back n forth but it has been a lil twitchy round here recently. Turns into “removed, flaming/arguing” in a heartbeat.

@Fiergala it was a hell of a long paragraph. Sorry. Going to disengage before the mods jump in and make this a mess as they always do…

@Samalik I’ve lived in poverty. I’ve slept rough. I’ve seen friends lose everything due to drugs and alcohol. Last thing on their mind was the need to play games. Your arguments are pathetic.

@Fiergala debates are a waste of time in here, as are reading walls of text. Basically people think they’re freedom fighters. Che Guevara. Spartacus. Whatever. They’re not. They’re just tight and hate spending money and make up grand excuses. “But what about this and what about that???!???” All nonsense. Don’t know if bo11ocks is filtered on here….

@RasandeRose tell me about it. Pathetic excuses. I’ve said numerous times in here that people resort to whataboutisms when their argument falls flat. They can’t answer your question so bring up something else. Can’t stay on topic ever.

@Samalik have a set of priorities like most normal human beings. Food, shelter, wellbeing, job. Quite straightforward really. Leisure pursuits should only come into play once you’re settled. If people think gaming is that important they’ve got serious issues…

@CaleBoi25 guy can’t make money out of it so therefore it’s crap. Funny how that works. People who can’t think for themselves in the comments: “the Switch 2 pro controller is crap! Anti-consumer something something preorder cancelled etc…”

E-waste. Nice. I need to add that to the bingo card, probably just next to bootlicker and to the left of anti-consumer. Imagine buying something and being in abject fear of it breaking all the time. Probably travel on buses wearing bubble wrap and helmets. Concerntrolltastic…😃

@Samalik if you can’t afford to buy stuff, games should be the last thing on your mind. It’s a luxury not an essential. Food and a roof over your head are much more important than something as trivial as games…whataboutery everywhere in here.

@Suketoudara I used to have a Magicom/MagicDrive dual system disk drive. Had tons of SNES and MD games. But I grew up and developed a realisation that doing this hurts the people putting the hard work in.

@Yozora146_ spoiled brat syndrome too…needs a Veruca Salt gif.

@DominionGamma People in here judge the general public by their own level of stinginess. Truth is there’s a big old world out there - outside comment sections - that doesn’t think or act like them.

@westman98 @N00BiSH I could very well be wrong...but hey - new console, been a long time since Odyssey, I know they like to pull things out of nowhere.

@Nintoz Koizumi’s the main man on Mario now. There’s no way there’s not a new Mario title coming out by the end of the year.

@progx might have a dig through the vaults in here to see who the most vocal posters are…(I doubt any usernames will shock me).

@Elitepatriot thing to remember is not everybody is skint or as miserly as gamers, pay in 3 plans exist and there’s that age old thing of saving up for such things. They’ve had 8 years to put money aside…

@Jack_Goetz "Switch 1 was lightning in a bottle"

That's the exact wording people were using about the Wii before the Switch came out, it was even on my bingo card for ages, "oh but the Wii was lightning in a bottle..." so technically they had lightning in a bottle twice? That's not too bad to be fair.

@the_beaver The amount of people before it was revealed saying "oh as long as it's in the power range of the PS4 I will be more than happy..."

@IronMan30 I will most likely do the same when I get my Switch 2, I am curious as to whether it’s better than Third Strike? I missed 4 and 5 completely. Capcom are usually good when it comes to sale prices.

@AmplifyMJ imagine going through the effort of setting up an account just to sneer...lol

@axelhander Yeah but nobody wants a Deckbeard.

“Something something evil anti-consumer Nintendo!!!!!” 🥱

I figured this might be an issue as they were moving from carts in the MB region into discs in the GB region. People wanted Gamecube, but a big Gamecube library is going to devour a few gigs of your storage. So I reckon on demand would be a nice option. A bit like how you can offload apps but keep the data associated with it.

So if I’m correct, the Mig switch is completely unlicensed and used predominantly by pirates? A case of the majority ruining it for the few? The console then has online functionality completely disabled if you attempt to use it?

Then some poor hapless soul (little Timmy or whoever) picks up a second hand dud that someone traded in…from a store that never tested an expensive electrical device at trade in to begin with, or some anonymous person online looking for a mug, and the person buying it never testing it either? Is this the scenario that’s playing out?

@Duncanballs same rule pretty much applies to the comment sections. 😃

All that budget on the graphics for Death Stranding 2, getting that hair perfect, those pores, that lighting, the eyelash physics, getting the material physics on the suit bang on and Japan turns round and says "nah you're good - Tamagotchi Plaza son!"

@jsty3105 remember what I said about whataboutisms lol...

@Coalescence Whataboutism and the comment sections go hand in hand pretty much all the time.

@OrtadragoonX Yep, pretty much that. I wouldn't be surprised if other cart sizes come out down the line...just have to wait and see I suppose.

@Trikeboy yep, the smaller cards would only benefit people making smaller games, and these big software companies are already notorious for being really tight on the size of storage they use...

@pipes used to do network dogfights on that across floors on our Macs back in the day where I used to work. Good times, it ran like silk!

@jsty3105 yeah they’re soiling the comment sections, we have a good crowd of regulars in here, even though we don’t always agree with each other, but when I see names I don’t recognise coming in hot it sets off alarm bells. Would you walk into a room full of people you don’t know and talk down to them in real life? Half these clowns can’t even look someone in the eye.

Good to see the mods are keeping an eye on the recent Polish and Norwegian troll infestation we’ve had recently!

Here’s hoping for some Sega Model 2 and 3 games down the line as well…

@GrailUK "how dare you not like the things WE like!"

To be fair I find them incredibly dull myself...handy to stick on if you're trying to get some kip.

@jsty3105 this is another one of those accounts that magically appeared out of nowhere to start an argument. There’s been an influx of them on here since the Switch 2…some people are so desperate for it to fail.

I’m looking to have a second play through of DQXI, it would be great if it was timed around a Switch 2 bump. The game doesn’t really need it but it would be a nice lil bonus.

@AmplifyMJ I’ve talked about this with you and seen what happens when I go into detail about this on this site…things have changed around here man!

@sethfranum a lot of these “wants” people cry about aren’t economically viable. If you gave the nerds who shout loudest in comment sections what they want the Switch 2 would cost a grand…

@KayFiOS can you imagine how bulky a Switch 2 would be with an SSD inside it?

@ChakraStomps My rule of thumb is if they set up an account moments ago and go on about piracy, don't give them the time of day...we seem to have had an influx from Poland and Norway recently - or is it the same two dudes?

@gojiguy mad thing is based on the exchange rate, Switch 2s are actually cheaper in Canada than over here in the UK.

@Dr_Lugae They've got 16 more questions to make articles out of...

@OldGamer999 I keep checking the usual suspects and it's still sold out everywhere...Switch 1 I had to wait until October 2017.

@Maxz he probably already has an onlyfans.

@WheresWaveRace I’ve been looking for that button for years…friend of mine in the states lost his foot due to diabetes the other week. But Nintendo tweaked the random settings in Mario Kart World….

@Dee123 At a rough estimate, how many people do you reckon regularly post in the comments here? No more than 100-150 or so tops in my reckoning. Polls get good counts but that doesn't mean they post or read the comments.

@GrailUK I think it’s a typical case of when it comes to big western games, they never connect with people in Japan. I can’t really remember the last time a big budget western game dominated in Japan ever.
