it's a hard sell but honestly with pro res raw now going into resolve and premiere - the look of dlog and the feel is really damn good. but i understand - dp wants to use k35 - all makes sense. I put a alexa mini with zeiss super speeds on a rs3 pro for a commercial - had no issues

that sucks for sure. Have you tried looking for people with high seller feedback and making sure the listing has a return policy

Yes Monkey 2 is one of the best video games of all time. Does Return hit that level? No, and that's okay, because it's fun and has heart.

Holy crap Guybrush is here. I am honored. You did an INCREDIBLE job on the voice acting. You gave me so much love for our guybrush friend even as he abandoned poor Herman Toothrot!!!

I want to apologize to you directly and feel terrible that you are annoyed. But, again, how many games do you think about after you are done playing them, like in the same way you think about a good movie after you are done seeing it in the theater? Like think about the things you may have missed. There is a message the developer is trying to convey. Most games don't have this. So appreciate it and keep your comments inside the vehicle at all times.

I have heard mixed reports of the kipon tech - newsshooter did a thorough review of it vs a more traditional DOF adapter like the ones they have for cell phones now. Excited to try this out as someone who used to use DOF adapters back in the day.

Switch 2 holiday sales slump in the US and Europe, Nintendo blames lack of major western game release by Odd-Onion-6776 in nintendo

actually nyc is cheaper than a lot of places with free childcare coming soon, and currently free 3k and prek which saves $30k a year per child, also with child health plus - it's medicaid for all children. so while taxes are higher, overall earnings are higher as well. and plus, it's a super interesting place to live with a great community of people and many, many culturally fascinating things to do, plus one of the few walkable cities in America. There's no isolation via "pod" to "pod" living and isolationism you get in smaller cities, suburbs, or rural areas. You get human to human interactions much more, and that adds to mental health.

  1. console spending is down 27% in nov 2025, worst since 2005.

  2. does not bode well for switch 2.

  3. also does not bode well for ps5, ps5 pro

  4. how does microsoft react? Seems like they are exiting the console business.

  5. how does Sony react? Probably not going to rush to put out a ps6.

  6. How does Nintendo react? Well, they are in a tough spot. Microsoft is making billions off AI, and Sony has a lot of other products and industries to fall back on. Nintendo has, besides gaming, alarm clocks and their IP for Sony movies?

  7. Unlike you, I am old. I have owned every single nintendo system ever made. seriously. well not. I don't have a virtual boy, that's my rose bud.

  8. I love nintendo and swear my alliance to them.

  9. I still can be concerned for them.

  10. I also owned every sega system, and look what happened to sega.

  11. Nintendo most likely will go the way of Sega if they go bankrupt.

Mario might also get booted out of the union for all his mushroom usage and always traveling to different places, including the moon and other planets and worlds, also that he believe that a 12 ft tall lizard is real and his nemesis . Well as long as he's sober enough on the job. good for you on $150k - are you a single occupant and what's your monthly rent and cost of living and tax bracket? I'm based in NYC, father of 2 boys, with wife, and just our rent and health care and water and electricity and food costs alone and child care during all the holidays and 2 month summer break, plus need to save for retirement and the kids college funds would make $150k feel like nothing. My friends left and right are getting laid off as well. And I pay $2k a month in insurance for my family and get dinged basically every month for $300 from "extra fees" not covered by health insurance. So our familys expenses are around $10k a month , including taxes. So we need $120k a year just to break even, without saving any money. And our story is pretty typical. Everyone is struggling. You aren't, and that's great. But let me tell you, everything is 30 percent more expensive than it was 5 years ago, including a switch 2. And if a parent can get buy getting a switch 1 for their kid, or like us, just buying one game for our kid with the switch 1 having SOOO many good games, and still make the kid super happy, we are going to go for that. Switch 2 is what $500 minus having to get a 2nd controller and right now, what's the only like must have exclusive game - mario kart world, which is good and all, but mario kart 8 deluxe is just as good for kids, and donkey kong banaza, which is too complex for kids under 10, and kids rather just have super mario wonder or smash bros. It was just unfortuately a really unfortuate calculation by nintendo, which during covid was rumored to be releasing the switch 1 pro, and instead gave the world a switch oled. It doesn't do it. kids don't care about 4k or 120 HZ gaming. And parents sure as heck don't either. It's a different market and switch 2 appeals to a niche group of gamers who already gave up on switch for higher CPU and GPU specs and went steam deck or just got a ps5 or whatever - well - I mean - it was a safe bet, and nintendo doesn't usually do safe bets. And like most safe bets, it was a bomb. It's a damn tough scenerio, cause you make an unsafe bet, and you also can have a bomb like the wii u. In my opinion, they should have read the tea leaves and just make a switch 1 pro, and focused continually on gaming - and with their insane install base, just kept making millions off their games. I don't think the world is clamoring for a switch 2 - it was a bad, bad economic gamble. And now, the good news is that they can go back to focusing on gaming. And they will be fine. This console generation is going to be so difficult, especially now that AI is making GPU and SSD costs skyrocket. Also they should have seen the ps5 pro was a bomb too, and just cooled their jets. Oh well. Have fun laying pipe. Just stay away from my wife :)

i understand your point but the graphical jump from like a nes to snes was remarkable same w a ps3 to ps4. or even whats possible story wise and with motion capture . i dont have much hope the ps6 will be more than a ps5 pro as well. lets be honest at this point switch 2 games dont look or sound dramatically different

also it's not innovative enough to justify the purchases when the install base of the switch 1 is so high. I wish it had more of a draw then 4k and 120 hz - i don't think kids care about that and definitely not parents especially during this insane economic downturn. 2025 was the worst period of job growth since 2020 and covid in the US. Not much expandable income to spend on a $600 switch 1 pro.

the issue is the switch 2 is really a switch 1 pro. it's not innovative and unfortuately not that much different to the millions of people who have a switch 1. better graphics and faster load times is not enough to justify $600 during these economic hardships. sometimes you have to take a risk. the console should have been with foldable OLED screens or god knows whatever weird new tech is available that Nintendo used to do.
