Re: Hate Zips? Then This Magnet-Powered Nintendo Switch Carry Bag Could Be For You

@blindsquarel If you're a retrogramer yes they can mess with the picture of a crt(unless you have a deguassing coil) or pull convergence a little out of wack and be havok on any magnetic tape media you have around....albeit this is specialized these days....but I have no use for this case....have folks gotten so lazy to use a button or a zipper on the carrying cases? Not solid enough, and if the magnets are strong enough to be, they'll mess with things that I don't wish them to.

Re: DOOM Eternal Switch eShop File Size Revealed

I prefer physical copies.....but I will not deny myself this awesome looking game for switch just because it doesn't have one....and I'll support the developer who has been good to the switch library bringing AWESOME ports that truly show the power of the console like few others do. I WILL be picking this up!

Re: Switch Is Still The Best-Selling Console Of 2020 In The US, Tops February Charts

@mesome713 No one is downplaying it, you're just pulling stuff out of your rear end. I'LL say that it is being over hyped while simultaneously not discounting the seriousness of being responsible. We've had viruses like this before that have killed way more people and the intentional spread of hysteria is not what it is now for those cases....nor the outrage. That is dangerous and irresponsible. What the intentional driving of the hysteria is about, is this is an election year. Period.

@Kienda Yup, people need to be responsible healthwise, but also do not freak out. Do business(whatever country you live in) as much as you can while being responsible. Freaking people out intentionally for political or financial gain should be anathematized(I think of them as looters during a crisis).....people will get hurt by such foolishness(prior infections were worse without the panic we are seeing now, which seems by design IMO) I'm going to buy a game today to support Nintendo and the developers. We went out and ate at a restaurant yesterday, practiced good hygiene and spent some money in that store(and tipped the server well). The place was still busy.

@mesome713

Actually if you go to the Nippon website the stats tell a very positive story for our response. At march 12 we had twice as many cases as Japan(619 vs 1,220) with a US population significantly more than double theirs and we are MUCH more of an international hub than they are.. If you want to go by the Japan stats(and the cdc website)...we're doing great by comparison globally. I think you're playing politics man....Our response was awesome, early and we were criticized for the China travel ban(saying it was too harsh), just like we were criticized for the travel ban to Europe(racist was it?). Your blame is misplaced. Funny how you give the Chinese Gov't hiding it a pass(where responsibility for this outbreak belongs, not the Chinese people but the gov't). We're DEFINITELY in the lower tier compared to the rest of the world and we have a MUCH bigger population. If you go by percent of population, we're doing even better than Japan.

@mesome713 Yeah that's a crock....he was criticized as it being to harsh when he did it then....WELL before everyone knew what would happen and the new one is right too. I'm sorry man, but you're just wrong here. He did the right thing and balanced the impacts on the economy the best he could. Put the blame where it belongs, on the Chinese gov't(not the Chinese people) trying to hide it from the world. Everyone I know is happy about our response.

Re: EA Art Director From DICE Signs On With Retro Studios

@RightWingGamer You're perfectly entitled to your opinion and the right to express it. The problem comes when you sock puppet troll some sexist crap with a name like "rightwinggamer" it's obvious trolling to denigrate people on the right. It's fake, an obvious troll and it introduces politics when it's not necessary to a friendly game chat....saying this as an actual right wing gamer.

Re: EA Art Director From DICE Signs On With Retro Studios

I'm so hyped for the game too folks, and I'm glad that Nintendo and Retro are bringing in some heavy hitters to make the game right. Very good signs that Ninty are giving the game it's due. I still remember the hype and fireworks when MP4 was announced, the internet and that event went crazy! Folks are clamoring for a GREAT Metroid game after all this time, this could be the one folks!

Re: Saber Interactive Says The Witcher 3 Update For Switch Will Be "Worth The Wait"

purpleibby

I'd like an update to fix the random bugs and frequent crashes the game has. I'm saving excessively just to keep from losing stuff from the random crashes. Sometimes dialog/voices don't even sound...I've walked through random locked doors(like walking through walls) and into areas that you're not supposed to...I've had his armor go a million different colors out of the blue(like confetti). If you start a quest by talking to a character and make the mistake of talking to them again before it's completed sometimes the options get screwed up for talking to them again and other random bugs....and with that said....

I LOVE this game! It's an awesome game but man please fix it! Damnit love the gwent too(hated it at first but you just have to build your deck up by buying every card you can and just playing til' you win. I never lose now). Gwent is addictive and the quests/hunt for more cards is so much fun. Just got past the part where I sent triss off and she's gone not to return, could have told her to stay but chose to be "loyal"...but man that part of the game was so awesome, thinking man....did I mess up lol. Hoping to see her character again before the game is completed...in spite of her lectures lol.

Please fix the game, like it a lot....cannot stop playing it. FIX IT, at times it's frustrating enough to almost....nah...

Re: Random: Star Wars Director Appears To Use Pokémon GO To Comment On Angry Fans

purpleibby

Toxic fan base? Are you kidding? Ruin and KK use a beloved franchise to push some creepy social engineering and as a vehicle for their political agenda...destroyed beloved characters and made a generally bad film and the response is that the fans are toxic because they didn't worship them for it? Here's an idea, keep your self-important political perspectives out of our business...quit preaching and leave us alone already. They destroyed this franchise. Even Hamill was calling it out and saying he didn't agree with it.

@Yorumi Agreed, ESB is beloved by fans and is considered the pinnacle of the franchise. Ruin is FOS

Re: Random: Is Nintendo UK Getting Cheekily Political With This Animal Crossing Poster?

purpleibby

Don't like democracy but they don't want to live in China either. The EU is the EUSSR and now they're itchin' for an EU army and ruling by fiat with no representation...mass censorship....A second election where one side won't accept the results. Too bad, move to China if you're itching for that type of governance and borg like collectivism(Marxism..hey no big deal it's only killed more people than the Nazis). The people have spoken...The pound sterling shot through the roof on the news too...all of the doom saying was bs, and so were the push polls. WHY do some people want to be ruled over, collectivists, faceless conformers....why advocate for the destruction of your own cultures(which is what the migrations were about, they want to get rid of you)

It's spooky....the people of Honk Kong would die for what some spit upon...it's sad...what they need is electoral extinction until they get their crap together. Turn off the damn news, strive see the good in your fellow man and accept that you're not always going to get your way and be thankful you don't live in China or NK....and if you won't, try moving there.
