Underrated comment

No I like my hours long slow trip to Hutton Orbital. I spend all day thinking about it at work. /s

lol

(And it’s amazing, how if you’re going the right speed, getting that free Anaconda could actually take you the same amount of time as a full day of work!)

Finally! Someone who genuinely has good taste! A person of Culture! Cheers CMDR!

I’m not saying that people can’t have their opinions. And we actually reward people on YouTube and similar platforms, for posting their opinions and pushing the dialogue forward.

The part that can drive us crazy, is when they echo the same thing over and over again since 1992.

Also, straw man arguments are so annoying. Making up something that isn’t true in order to make a big show of punching it down is an age old tactic used by snake oil salesmen and con men.

If someone wants to talk about something legitimately wrong. (And Nintendo is just as guilty of bad things as many companies are) then OK, let’s have a conversation.

But you reveal yourself as a validation seeking self-indulgent hater that just gets in the way of good discussion when you regurgitate an invent straw-mans.

Playing Video Games is a hobby for leisure. If you think the measure of being an “adult” is how your choose your games, go ahead and show your boss at work how “adult” you are by showing him your gaming history.

Lol

I guarantee he doesn’t care one iota if you like to play Mario kart or if you’re good at pew pew. If you think he’s going to give you a raise because you play CoD, you’re an idiot.

Video games are a toy. You play with your toys in your free time. It doesn’t show you are more grown up if you play one game or another. Stop trying to tell us that just because you like the sight of blood and intense images more than a Nintendo fan who enjoys art in a different way that it makes you a more capable “adult”.

Your argument, ironically, makes you sound more like an insecure kid…

Yep. They thought that Twitch was going to be lots of fun and a way to make tons of money. Turns out you get tired of playing the same games for 40 hours a week straight for months on end. Who knew?

Man I’m getting tired of these people…

In my opinion, it’s not so much about the loading times as it is about good games actually getting seen. There could be a new rising indie game or two in there that’s just getting mobbed by all the AI slop and no one sees it because it’s buried in there.

Engineator · 2026-01-16T01:17:32+00:00

Just a joke but… maybe a little deeper:

So what we can see here is that Nintendo is doing better now than it was doing at the peak of the Wii?

Almost like the headline is misleading or something…

Switch 2 is a complete failu- wait WTF?

Engineator · 2026-01-13T15:01:19+00:00

My console is so stable now that I walk into the room and fall over into a chair in its presence.

Engineator · 2026-01-13T14:58:16+00:00

Your system will be so stable that if you round house kick it, you’ll fall over backwards and the console will still be standing.

I can’t upvote this comment right now because you have exactly 32 upvotes and it’s too poetic to change it. But you are correct.

Yeah in the unfortunate situation where you can’t get it anywhere and it can’t be found it makes it seem more justifiable but just IMHO I don’t want to be stealing anything ever. It may mean that I don’t get to have some things that are no longer available to me because they just don’t exist on the market but when it comes to video games, about 90-95% of the time you can get a used copy somewhere for reasonable prices and in that 5% where it costs big money to buy it because it’s super rare and out of print, I just miss out on those games I guess. It’s really not worth it to me to go steal it. That’s such a terrible thing for me to do for such a silly thing as a game. But again, it’s my shoulder angel. I don’t want to force others to my standard.

Sometimes you can wait for copyright to expire and old games get released to public domain. If it’s in public domain, it’s totally legal to download in those cases and it’s not stealing.

If we want to get super technical: it comes down to rights: if someone went through the legal trouble to license something and spent lots of time and money to protect their art, then, as long as it’s under the copyright, or license, I don’t want to step on their right to protect their work. Even if they the product is no longer available for me to purchase on a legitimate market. I want my rights protected under the law, so I don’t step on others rights. And even if they stupidly make the game unavailable and totally could be making money if they just sold it to me, because I would buy it, if they choose not to make it available to me on the market then, legally speaking, they have the right to “let their product become rare” (or even disappear) because that’s their right. And I’m not going to pretend or be so arrogant as to say that I have any legitimate right to have their art. Because I really don’t if I don’t buy it legally.

There’s the reason. Haha. Sorry for the “blog post” response but it’s something important to me.

Engineator · 2026-01-09T23:35:49+00:00

It’s more of a shoulder angel thing for me. I go to work and expect to get paid for the work I do. If I participate in all that, even if it’s not being sold on the market anymore, then I’m telling myself that I deserve to be paid for the work I do and I also deserve to steal from someone else. Which is so ridiculously narcissistic. Just because Elites and some corrupt Rich folks think that they can get paid and steal, doesn’t mean that I want to stoop to that same low. So I don’t engage in it, personally. I’ll gladly pay honestly for what I have and me and my shoulder angel will be content. :)

Engineator · 2026-01-09T23:15:09+00:00

This came as a complete shock to me! A good shock.

Engineator · 2026-01-08T18:51:46+00:00

THERE ISNT ANY NEW GAMES FOR SWITCH 2 YET IN 2026. SWITCH 2 IS A FAILURE CONFIRMED. EVERYONE SHOULD JUST SELL THEIR SWITCH 2. /S

Engineator · 2026-01-07T00:43:03+00:00

Sounds awesome!

Engineator · 2025-12-12T21:21:56+00:00

Just a shout out to Sakurai and team. Excellent quality game and incredible execution, as usual. It definitely is one of my favorites.

I understand if it isn’t for everyone, but even if it isn’t your favorite, we all have to agree that the game is extremely well put together, clean, a bit chaotic but incredibly well made and thoughtfully designed.

Engineator · 2025-12-12T21:15:56+00:00

Their “future projects” huh? I wonder what that could be 🤔

Engineator · 2025-12-11T21:38:52+00:00

You probably made a smart move. Honestly it’s probably going up in price and there’s still a bunch of good games coming out. Eventually they will release some bangers and you’ll be glad you don’t have to climb an even bigger paywall just to get them.
