I actually think I'd like you to comment. This person is looking forward to something that's important to them. It's not that weird tbh

I just find this sort of performative corporate fanboy culture really cringy

If this were a convention, video game tournament or other community-driven event I wouldn't bat an eye, but dressing up and camping out for the launch of a piece of consumer electonics is just so lame

I appreciate you explaining and I get where you're coming from. I'm not super into Nintendo, but I've known people who really care about the games and characters. It very much is a corporation first that does shitty things, but if the games are meaningful to people then I get being excited for a release. I'd probably line up if one of my favourite consoles/games got a big release

I'm a gigachad-hd pc gamer though, so idk anything about lining up for a console

God people really really fucking love their Pokemans

The next Pokemon game is going to be available on switch 1. The last pokémon game has been out for long enough that anyone who takes shiny hunting seriously has already filled out their dex.
