I agree, but it's irrelevant to what I'm posting about. I understand that the military isn't a monolith and there are some anti-Trump people there, but those who wear basically any uniform (national guard, military, police, ice, etc.) are largely Trump supporters and, despite some whining, I have yet to see any indicator that they'll break with Trump.

I've been reading about cracks amongst his support for ten years and no major obstacles ever actually materialize.

The dude in the still looks like one of those murdaugh murderers from SC.

Has he forwarded the plans to the signal group chat yet?

Not amongst his supporters. More people voted for him in 2020 than 2016.

I've been reading stories about people growing disillusioned with Trump for almost a decade now and yet nothing ever changes.

It's more about his hair and makeup.

I'd be very surprised if anyone in uniform lays down arms and sides with protestors in this country.

Yay some random book.

I saw one that said I can manifest things! Must be true. They wrote a book about it after all!

Yes, no kids.

The original switch was a bargain too relatively speaking. My one switch outlasted about five or six phones I owned over the same time span.

It does kinda suck that it's gone up in price in the new generation, but like... PlayStation 5 was also around the same price a couple of years ago, when money was worth more.

shrug to each their own

Animal Crossing New Horizons was great. I was also a pretty big fan of Mario Odyssey. Both Zelda games were great (though I know the first one was released to the Wii U or whatever). Mario Kart was great of course. Mario party was a little underwhelming this time but I think they've since released a better one. Smash Brothers was great. Mario Wonder? Was pretty awesome too.

Good

You were saying earlier the main reason someone would buy a switch 2 was nostalgia. Nintendo still makes great games that generally run great even on their lowered speced hardware. Some of the games for the switch were some of the best installments in their respective franchises.

I've become disillusioned a bit with them for other reasons (console repairability, their litigiousness, the semi-closed ecosystem, joycon drift, the higher game price points lately) but the exclusive games are still rocking, and the exclusive games are a lot of the reason you'd buy a switch 2.

But most people are very nostalgic (can’t blame them, SNES to Wii Zeldas and Metroids were amazing) and have uncontrollable FOMO, which Nintendo keeps on milking even when their software and hardware is noticeably much worse than it’s competitors’.

This reads like someone who never played any of the switch titles. It's not simply nostalgia. The switch titles were objectively good despite lackluster hardware. The switch lasted for almost a decade and is still playable today. People are buying switch 2 to be able to play the Nintendo exclusives.

It's true that the hardware is largely lackluster, but especially in the case of the first party titles, and in general overall, the lackluster hardware just doesn't prevent the games from looking and running great. Nintendo invests in developers capable of running large, complex games on somewhat modest hardware.

I also have issues with trusting people but only because I've met some of them.

Fuck the brand

Well done (and keep fighting)!
