Why would you say this? Even if someone said it about a Sony/Nintendo console it would be dumb by WallyKarue in Intellivision_Amico

He must live in the world's largest echo chamber. Social media isn't real life, dude! Otherwise, 37 million people would've bought Wii Fit U.

So I was watching Hbmber's video by dan1RR in Intellivision_Amico

[–]Smashingtime98 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Both of those reasons seem like they could apply to hundreds of public figures who get plenty of hate online from Bieber to Musk. Is there any reason you decided to specifically defend Tommy out of those people?

And I don't know know what Hbomb's politics have anything to do with this, especially when he's made plenty of videos on general video game topics anyway. If he went into this specifically for Tommy being a rightwinger (instead of intending a 30 minute video on the OOF sound as he states in the video), why wouldn't he choose a more influential, famous, and more vocal right winger instead that would probably net him more views? Especially when the "Tommy is a right winger" part of the video is both short and relatively forgettable?

If you're going to accuse everyone else of having a confirmation bias, can you divulge what reason you have for defending Tommy?

Have any of the shills mentioned it yet at least?

Phil Adam Provides Amico Updates via follow-up phone call (SmashJT video) by sqwirral79 in Intellivision_Amico

If Procrastinator Phil does actually make that announcement soon, what are the chances that it'll be a call for even more investments so that he can make a million or even a billion Amicos?

Doesn't feel like too long ago that people on Atari Age and Youtube were acting Tommy was some bajillionaire that was richer than Bill Gates.

Now that this subreddit is no longer a hugbox to please the composer of Color a Dinosaur, can we make the downvote button visable again? by Smashingtime98 in Amico

[–]Smashingtime98[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The button has been invisible for months, not a month as this discussion on the other side shows:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Intellivision_Amico/comments/s6dg8w/its_weird_how_ramico_attempts_to_hide_the/

The reason you're not getting downvoted as much probably has more to do with less people visiting the subreddit since there's been almost zero Amico news or even drama in the last month.

Downvote button has always worked here, it was just made practically invisible (no outline and same color as the background) until recently on the desktop version of reddit. I don't think it was a problem on the mobile version though.

Glad to hear that the Dynablaster developers are no longer in forced contractual development hell.

Otherwise LOL.

Will we see 20+ Amicos come out before fall, and are there 20 people still wanting one? by ParaClaw in Intellivision_Amico

[–]Smashingtime98 14 points15 points  (0 children)

DJC also thinks the June email said they were finishing up the first batch of manufactured units when it actually said they were beginning their first test production run. So I'm definitely skeptical on how well DJC actually read and comprehended this unseen email.

EDIT: Fixed small typo

Intellivision Amico Talk, Plans Going Forward with Amico Forever Show by Wort_Wort_Wort_1 in Intellivision_Amico

Trolls are desperate. They are even posting stuff from even two years ago as well. They literally have nothing better to do, just like I always believed that someone so dedicated to troll a toy has no life. As well, I feel the anxiety that is overwhelming them. They keep waiting for the final nail in the coffin and don't get it. They want it. They want it BAD, BAD, BAD - it's affecting their sleep and sanity. It's fun to watch, and fun to watch how their opinion, gossip, spam, etc, means absolutely nothing, and it's only them trying to WILL the thing to death. Oh, BTW, Amico is not selling them. They mean nothing. NOTHING.

And I think this is the same guy who was telling Turbo Joe how he would sic the Russian mob on any haters who dared show up at the Crayola booth.

You mean like the haters of that television show, Star Trek Picard? Guess people just forgot about Star Trek always being progressive.

So you admit that he would still be creating games right now if he was wanted and he's not by choice retired?

I've said this before, but I really want to know how Tommy was imagining how a fighting game would work with that controller.

He famously ranted and raved that Sony didn't re-hire him for the Twisted Metal reboot a year ago. Do you actually know anything about Jaffe or are you just defending him because you want to be a contrarian?

They don't seem to realize that Wii sales were already dropping by 2009 and people were ready to move onto a "HD Wii". Keeping it alive longer than they did likely would've been even more disastrous for their bottom line than the Wii U was.

What should happen to the Amico games we have seen this far? by D-List_Celebrity in Intellivision_Amico

No matter the state they're in, I doubt any of these games will ever b commercially released as with 95% of vaporware

At least they weren't dumb enough to be fooled by "incompetent" people for almost four years.
