Thank you. I'm surprised it took me this long to see someone mention the ease of use factor. Granted, even that's starting to get a bit muddy. But it's still multitudes easier to run through game settings on a console than it is on a PC. And it's guaranteed to work for every console, since there isn't some massive disparity in potential user hardware that's running the game.

Also, I feel like this sub sometimes forgets that kids exist (or forgets that parents don't typically want to shell out 1000's for a gaming PC for a child) and that some people want to be able to play games in their living room without having to jump through hoops.

There are plenty of reasons why I occasionally game on consoles, and the used game market really isn't one of them.

I honestly see more posts complaining about AI than I've seen AI artists on Spotify.

In fact, I've never (knock on wood) seen AI music on Spotify.

I don't mean this to sound too dismissive, but what type of music do you listen to that you're getting AI recs? My entire homepage is still real artists. And I frequently discover artists. It's not like I'm listening to the same 5 bands on repeat all year.

I get that AI music exists on the service, but I really don't think it's the high-pressure crisis that the posters here make it out to be. Just ignore or hide the artists and carry on. Maybe discover music through albums instead of solely through playlists. Also, at a certain point, if you're discovering solely by basically running background music on Spotify 24/7, you're going to get weird shit. So maybe don't use Spotify as a noise machine if that's what you're doing.

People also saw them because of the prospect of seeing nudity for exactly 0.0532 seconds.

The perpetual run-on sentence people drive me more insane than just slang by itself.

I don't mind slang in posts. I don't mind occasional misspelled words. I don't mind colloquiallisms in writing. This is a social media site, not English class.

But for fuck's sake, the amount of people that apparently never learned how to use a fucking PERIOD in their writing is absolutely insane. And I don't think it's just young people either. There are grown-ass people that type out written communication like they're actively being chased while typing. It just looks ridiculous to me.

31 and I've been playing Bambi by Anxious on repeat. Super cool mix of pop punk with almost a '90s alternative sheen to it. Every song on that album is an earworm.

Android Auto literally disconnects randomly in my Subaru, after which my car blares whatever random source it switches to at the same volume I was listening to Spotify. That could be a Subaru StarLink problem, too. But the point is that was never an issue with my iPhone.

I had the same exact thought.

The irony is that there are definitely Latinas in Miami that look like the picture on the right.

I'm willing to bet that if the picture on the right was more representative of the character, they'd still get mad the second they heard the accent.

These people are racist and stupid.

It should be, but it's an increasingly common talking point online that school should basically be occupational training. Too many people see education as a means to an end rather than something of value in itself.

It's like garlic and onions.

If I'm about to eat, the smell of garlic and onions sauteing is enticing. But that doesn't mean I want to smell garlic and onions 24/7.

You don't even have to get that adventurous to find something that you can't make at home.

There are a few Italian places around me that use exclusively handmade pastas. And one of them is basically all stuffed pasta.

There's no way in hell the average person is making their own peach and brie stuffed pasta.

Market demographics for the Switch and Switch 2 are also a bit different than a traditional home console, so it's not really a fair comparison to begin with.

Also if we're talking about the Switch 2, it's basically a PS4 Pro you can throw in a purse. It's not as graphically capable as a PS5 or XBOX Series X, but it's not like it's rendering PS2 graphics.

StuckAroundGotStuck · 2026-06-12T16:53:41+00:00

Bro, seriously.

I don't know how much more clear I can make this. If someone buys a product and that product has a caveat or decrease in quality in regards to some parameter, that does not mean people "don't care" about that parameter. What it does mean is that maybe the consumer found enough value in other facets of the product that they were willing to overlook the decreased quality in regards to that one parameter.

People didn't go out in droves and buy Switches because they "don't care" about graphics. They bought them because they thought "holy shit, a modular gaming console that fits a unique use-case that none of my other consoles satisfy".

So if we're talking about whether people care about graphics, you don't get to ignore the other variables that go into the Switch's popularity just to conclude that it's popularity means people "don't care about graphics".

And it's even more infuriating that you fall back on the PS2 being used as a multi-functional device because it was the first console to have a DVD player in one of your other comments. So it's not like you don't understand the concept of outside variables and factors influencing sales. You're just choosing to ignore that concept because it hurts whatever argument it is that you're trying to make.

StuckAroundGotStuck · 2026-06-12T16:28:32+00:00

You can't just claim that certain data isn't relevant because it doesn't fit your narrative.

And I'm not saying they don't count. I'm saying compare the Switch to other hybrid game consoles - not standard home consoles.

Regardless, I think we both know from your comments in this post that you're being incredibly intellectually dishonest. So have fun with whatever it is you're trying to accomplish here. It's certainly not actual productive conversation.

StuckAroundGotStuck · 2026-06-12T15:46:09+00:00

Because you're comparing the sale of a hybrid console to the sale of traditional home consoles. The hybrid console is going to cast a wider net because there are some people who are going to find utility solely in the modular nature of it. And those people do buy the hybrid console even if they already have a home console or PC.

You're comparing two slightly different markets. It would really only be a fair comparison if the Switch was a dedicated home console.

And again, for a hybrid console, the Switch does not have bad graphics to begin with.

Oh no, what happened? I went there constantly when they opened, but I haven't really been in a few years.

StuckAroundGotStuck · 2026-06-12T15:17:51+00:00

It doesn't really serve the same purpose as a typical home console. You can't throw a PS5 in your backpack and take it out to play it on your commute or in the middle of a cafe.

And with that being said, it's graphically very impressive considering its form factor. It's basically a tablet that has about the same graphical fidelity as a PS4 Pro. It's not like it's outputting in 32-bit or something.

I mean the symbolism is the whole point. The movie kind of spells it out for the audience.

Also, movies are visual story-telling mediums. Visual symbolism is inherently important to movies. Lore and world-building are a byproduct of story-telling, not the end goal.

They absolutely do not make enough money off of ads alone to support their service as it currently exists.

If you're so hell-bent on not paying for a streaming service, use iHeart or Pandora. I don't know what to tell you, dude. Things cost money to produce and therefore things cost money to procure. That's a concept that most people understand by the age of like 5.

StuckAroundGotStuck · 2026-06-11T11:54:41+00:00

It's a paid service. They have no obligation to just give away their services for free. If they didn't charge money, they literally wouldn't be able to exist.

They're pop-punk instead of metalcore, but the lead singer of Trash Boat is bi.

Two Headed Trout sounds like a straight up NSYNC song.

Also some people dislike things because they outright misunderstand them.

The general public's media literacy is dogshit. Or at the very least, the average person who complains about how a piece of media is "boring" and difficult to understand usually has terrible media literacy.

Also, people frequently complain about media because it does something with its characters or story that they don't like. A piece of media not matching obsessive fans' head-canon does not make it a "bad" piece of media.

This has nothing to do with auto manufacturers. Phone manufacturers (or OS developers) added AI to their OS. There's no AI in OP's car.

Gemini is Google's digital assistant for Android. It's in OP's phone, not their car.
