Most of the “people” on there aren’t people. They’re either bots or occasionally those looky-loos that are just hired actors to keep people engaged to the site and try and get as much money out of them as possible. Especially the paid dating sites are mostly just that. They’re just sucking money out of people that are genuinely emotionally invested and sometimes even desperate. It’s real sad, and disgusting from those sites.

I think online dating will still remain. But it’s less of actual interest for long term stuff, and more want to have a fun one night stand kind of deal. I feel like most other things on that chart turned into that as well though.

I think, like that post mentions as well, that prices were the biggest issue. The points system being a garbage system in the first place, easily a system I would instantly be turned off from, I absolutely hate buying currencies to buy something, instead of just outright seeing the actual prices in the store. But if you’d want to buy a small collection for a couple of decades old games it would add up quickly.

The problem with Nintendo’s always been the insane prices. I’m especially hesitant to buy anything digital or any services from Nintendo. Knowing they could decide to pull the plug any time again.

The problem is that they had stuff like Virtual Console and then decide to pull the plug. Then rebrand as some other feature in an online service, which is yet another service that’s gonna be a wait and see on whether or when they’ll pull the plug again. Forcing people to pay for old stuff over and over again.

They should sell this kind off stuff independently from their consoles/handhelds, preferably something that runs on a PC or any platform.

The NES and SNES mini were great examples of how it could be done, except there too they decided to only make a limited amount, essentially the same as pulling the plug.

Nintendo’s truly an awful company. It’s baffling how often they get praised for their stuff, they only dangle some 15+ year old reskinned game and people forget all about it.

Such an expensive gimmick, especially considering it’s primarily aimed for kids that can’t afford it.

For that price I would’ve expected it to have more features. Like maybe be able to use Amiibo figures to unlock more content. Or a ceiling projector to play Nintendo videos/animations or ambient lighting. Or if they’d go the extra mile, be able to project the Switch display.

I was joking when in a previous post about the museum I said it better not run on any emulators…

So… Why aren’t they selling said emulators and roms? I ain’t gonna travel half the world to play one in an overpriced museum.

They’re not even hiding anymore that they’re just straight up advertising. And then proceed to not even include a link or whatsoever lmao

That said, I’m so over this aesthetic. The ‘gamy’ look has become so cheesy. Sharp angles and edges, lots of unnecesary seams and individual parts glued together, lots of places that collect dirt and hard to clean. And led lights that just highlight all the garbage that gets behind the keys.

Nah thanks.

Journalism really degraded and been milking this shit like they discovered something big after it’s been around for 20+ years since Steam was released.

Next headline “Hackers disappointed that the hacked source code is apparently just the same as the last 16 games”

Lol that comparison was also going through my head. I remember it being a fun game though, more than any Bethesda games from the past decade or so, but frankly that bar wasn’t really high either.

It’s like every clickbait gaming website whenever a new MMO game drops and they call it the WoW-killer for the umpteenth time in the past 15 years.

They gotta stop trying and just let it die already. No need in trying to salvage anything out of it.

Like the article states it already failed to garner a reasonable crowd in the beta, and even less as a paid game.

It was just a bad game, plagued by terrible development. It has cost enough already, why would they even bother investing anything more in it, take the loss and just move on and make something actually fun and creative.

I guess it’s like spiritual successor to Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga?

Looks like an alright game, although the turn based combat always seemed a bit out of place to me.

Even a bunch of competitive games it hasn’t bothered me that much unless it’s like a real big difference.

I actually enjoy taking the shitter on people that paid to be “good”, then get their asses handed to them to someone who clearly never spent a dime.

I hope not.

Those modders would do Sony and the devs a massive favor and basically work for them for free. Nobody would learn from their mistakes.

I would understand if these were at least remotely similar games, but these don’t make much sense lol

Well technically I played it on “PC” years back on PS Now lol. Although it wasn’t a really nice experience with its low resolution and sometimes sluggish response.

“PS5 Pro Enhanced”

All they had to do was just upgrade framerate for PS5 and PC. And maybe update textures, and perhaps increase lighting quality without altering it entirely. Probably would’ve cost them significantly less time to remaster it that way, and get the same amount if not more sales out of what they got now.

Lol I knew the reference without the link haha

It’s the same with OnlyFans. It wasn’t even meant as a porn/sexual medium, but like well over 90% is probably just that.

I just don’t hope Twitch let’s it roam wild, they just need to man up and call it what it is, it’s porn and sexual content, give them their own category and keep them there.
