I bought a switch because I wanted to fit in with everyone else and play party games with friends (fuck family). I played Mario party and I had a good time, it was fun and the RNG was great I had never in my life played a game where it didn’t matter how well you did it could all fuck up at the end which happened MULTIPLE times. I don’t know why I bought a switch because I realized later I could have just purchased the joy remotes for a disgusting 70 dollars but instead I went to my friends house like a fucking doofus showing up with a Nintendo switch under my arm and the device literally dropping onto the floor after it came loose from the dick. “You don’t need to use yours” my friend laughed “we just need one” are you fucking kidding me? “Then why the fuck did you tell me to get one?” Mood changed instantly, not my fault.

I wasn’t having fun at all, I was just thinking “I spent 300 dollars on this piece of shit, that’s 4 grocery shopping days, that’s more clothes, that’s this that whatever anything but this piece of filth Nintendo switch you fucking losers go soy over. So every time it’s my turn I angrily play and I make sure people know I’m angry, it got to a point I rolled so poorly I threw my joycon and left the couch, everyone went quiet but I didn’t give a fuck. One of my friends who has a romantic interest in me (not reciprocated) started rubbing me on my back, “bad day?” They said and I just felt even more angry but this time the anger was directed towards them. “I know you like me but I don’t like you” I said, they cried, left, don’t care, I spent 300 dollars on a piece of shit I’m never going to use.

None of my friends know how to navigate around me so it always feels like they’re hostages trying to ease their way out of the situation where they have a gun pointed at them, it’s pretty selfish of them considering I was the hostage and they were the shooters shooting me with “buy switch” or “Zelda is a good game it’s just like dark souls” or “get one it’ll improve your mood” has it fucking really? Has it improved my mood? What would improve my mood would be if someone paid me 300 dollars to piss shit and set the switch on fire and then throw it at someone playing happily’s head, that would improve my mood. Instead I have to use my adult fingers to navigate around a tiny ass “controller” it’s a fucking joke, just to have fun… your idea of “fun.”

I get Zelda because if it wasn’t clear already I am a dickhead, “it’s like dark souls” that one prick told me, wrong, nothing like dark souls why did I listen to this prick? My life is like dark souls because I have people laughing and lying at me, I’m always losing my SOULS because some MERCHANT “”friends”” tells me to buy this item because it will improve my VITALITY what a load of bullshit. Zelda sucks it looks like a unity project some kid made on the school computers, the story is literally “we repackaged the first game and sold it to you again because you are a loser and keep paying us money.” Tale as old as time for all Nintendo games tbh, smash, Metroid, Mario, Mario kart, sonic, Zelda, insufferable pokemon. I see a lot of people on hexbear talk shit about funko pops as they should, but the moment you condemn pokemon they go off on you like you killed their family. What the fuck, really?

I’ll give it away

Get a Steam Deck

Install RetroDeck

Choose from literally tens of thousands of emulated games to play for free

Don't Steam Decks cost like $800?

[-] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 29 points 8 months ago

Nah, the cheapest one with no oled screen is $400 in the USA. Not super different from the switch price if you consider that you can pirate unlimited free switch games.

[-] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 8 months ago

Ah in Poland that's no biggie, just a months worth of wages! See? Anyone can afford it!

Seriously though even the cheapest model is so fucking expensive, that when I see someone with it in public (and I do!) I don't think "How cool!". I think of where the fuck did they get the money for it?

Games with color are bourgeoisie. If I want to gave fun I simply ding rocks against the side of my hollowed out Soviet tank

Idea for a bit - Games of Color.

I once saw a white guy trying to pick up women at a train station in Tokyo. He would go up to them and say in broken Japanese "My hobby is Pokemon".

He did not have any luck.

Do people actually think this is funny? Genuinely curious. Obviously it's a satirical post, but it's just not that funny to me.

Love you Mel, you're right up there next to BMF as one of my favorite legendary posters round these parts

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 36 points 8 months ago

Melina makes tongue in cheek posts that some clueless folks take seriously, BMF makes serious posts that we all collectively laugh at and go 'good one' to.

[-] heartheartbreak@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago

animal crossing is an island

None of my friends know how to navigate around me so it always feels like they’re hostages trying to ease their way out of the situation where they have a gun pointed at them

you can tell this is a bit because nobody who is actually like this has ever been aware enough to articulate this phenomenon so well

You should play Elden Ring, it’s just like Dark Souls if you’ve heard of either of those.

Sick of all the video game nonsense on Hexbear. I come for succinct dialectical stylings and dope musings, not "pac man mario" toys.

when discussing video game we do not discuss pac man mario toys we discuss the dark soul in all the somber seriousness it demands.

the only good part about the nintendo switch is how low the hardware requirements are to emulate switch games on the PC straw-hat-pirates

otherwise i'd simply rather cry myself to sleep than give nintendo 70 dollars to play a 26.33 fps game on a kindle fire

[-] RedQuestionAsker2@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago

I'd like to see the Melina haters pop off after this.

They have to post the fake news in order to therapeutically channel their twisted, tortured life.
