I love boycotts. They let me feel good about not doing things I wasn't going to do anyway.
When I'm not being mentally tormented by gamers I feel amazing from the boycott-high.
The treats will continue

I'm still calling for a Swicth2 boycott. I will not be mocked into submission. I will not.
And don't think about sending me messages like "I bet it hurts to not be playing Mario Kart World right now. Probably about 120 hertz." or anything like that in June, I've already thought of them all and I've already steeled myself in resolution.
Yeah but doesn't wario got a huge ass in the new mario kart? You're gonna be missing out on that dumpy friend.
Already mentally prepared for this eventuality.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Is there a place I can donate to fund a switch 2 emulator? Twozu anyone?

Boycott yourself and everyone around you!
I called for an xbox boycott and everyone said "ok" without even thinking about it
Must be nice to be respected.
uphold chad warden thought
This brings me no solace. Everyone's already saving up for their PS6s anyway.
And you better believe I'm calling for a boycott of that too.
comrade would you like a switch 2 please DM me
You can't demand to boycott two consoles at once, it just makes you look silly. You can only get one console to boycott.
I'm getting death threats to not add Steamdeck to the boycott list.
Don't fly too close to sun with this bit. You'll get banned again.
Wait but what about Xbox being on BDS? Maybe we're supposed to be boycotting all non Sega consoles 
That's not a boycott, it's just good consumer sense. Gaming peaked with the Mega Drive.
Gaming peaked with the ~~Mega Drive~~ Playstayion 2.
Fixed that for you.

Stop misspelling Atari 800XL.
Those things are expensive and have expensive games but I did wish for a console in my childhood. I would buy a retro game handheld though. All the games I never got to play for around 60-100 dollars. Plus the prices we have to pay here is a lot more than what Americans and Europeans are used to paying and the pay is abysmal but I see people save up for years or buy with loans and installments.
I've still got a added original Xbox with full rom sets and emulators of everything up to and including n64 for Nintendo and also a Genesis emulated. Still use it from time to time.
Thats neat! I would too if I had one. I guess they might be still available on the used market if I looked for one but I like the idea of using handhelds on the bed. I have only played a few console games on emulators so there is so much I could play when I get one. Alternatively I could also buy a sipeed tang fpga and get two hobbies at the price of one.
They were pumped out into the use market en mass. This is the 3rd that I've had since around 2010 and with the same menu systems and stuff installed. All the emulators have neat little custom game select menues. Mario pulls a lever as you scroll for the snes one
That sounds so cool. I remember hearing so much about homebrew stuff back then.
Og Xboxes just had like...a normal PC hard drive built in. So they are super super super easy to homebrew. Even when they were newish most kids I knew who had it had it cause their older brother got it and then never paid for a single game. For ps2 you had to have a dvd burner and a gameshark
I thought you had to screw around to flash it with a JTAG connector or something but that makes it convenient. I didn't know about gameshark either tbh. They used to sell pirated video game cd/dvds for pennies on the street here since the late 90s but I assumed they were all for PC. Magazines always gave free cds which was nice. I didn't know any kids with playstation or xbox personally but nes era stuff is something I did see. The old psp was kind of common as well when it came out.
If you had an old enough version of an old pop, those things were amazing to homebrew cause it took an incredibly simple hardware mix to open it up. You just severed one specific pin that was pretty easy to access.
I sure do remember that one. A lot of people didn't want it to do it themselves and would buy those batteries. I think they called it Pandoras battery.
I think I recall that as well. Seems like it would be harder and riskier to replace a built in battery.
I think I also recall them being fatter than the original battery but I might be wrong
Never dealt with one. Being able to mod a system using random shit that was available in school got me paid tho

Sweet! 
Pot dealer/psp modder/punk rocker/skater who grew up in the same bad neighborhood I ended out going to school in a but after my family moved made high school a pretty chill time for me. Jr High was rough but the last 3 years kinda ruled, not in a I peaked in high school way, it was just pretty drama free compared to what I was expecting and what other people dealt with. I just skated, went to shows, sometimes missed months cause I was playing in punk bands and going on tour and my parents god bless em would call in my absences as long as I kept passing and playing in bands and skating with grown ass adults made something click where I realized my teachers are also just regular people and it turns out you can just talk to them one on one and make some deals. I could barely every show up and just get a printout of the curriculum for the class and all the tests at once and then just have them around to consult when needed. For shit I was bad at I totally still had to show up to class and wouldn't have passed otherwise but for stuff like English or social studies or whatever I was punching over my weight it was pretty easy to get accommodations. Especially cause it made me easy to grade cause I was passing shit in months ahead. I just wanted to be able to keep skipping school and taking trips to other towns to play shows and skateboard. I would not have been this good academically if it weren't for that, staying on top of my school shit meant I could play ear splitting noise and do absurd amounts of drugs at a young age.
Sounds like you have had an exciting time during school. The kind of life I dreamt about having back then.
Ngl, I was nice. I then just did the punk rock stuff minus the school stuff and that was even more fun but I maybe should have kept the balance I had going instead of moetgaging my future. But based on what I've heard the people I went to school with who did try hard are mostly in the same place as me but with student loan debts, so I guess I did fine. I am for sure going to die at leat 20 years earlier than I would have otherwise and am picked up problems that are keeping thst steady and increasing that number. I'm getting there but it'd genuinely just not as fun

Going back in time to boycott the gameboy
why? why boycott? why bans?
It's a joke from a bit account. Don't worry about it, I'm not up on it enough to quite get it either.
Exiling someone who is otherwise a comrade over a pretty general consumer decision seems not worth it to me.
Edit: Ahhh ok it's a bit lol
im being sent to siberia for buying a ps4
Well jokes on you I’ve bought every console on Ebay since 2006 (after camping out for a wii
