I bought a switch because I wanted to fit in with everyone else and play party games with friends (fuck family). I played Mario party and I had a good time, it was fun and the RNG was great I had never in my life played a game where it didn’t matter how well you did it could all fuck up at the end which happened MULTIPLE times. I don’t know why I bought a switch because I realized later I could have just purchased the joy remotes for a disgusting 70 dollars but instead I went to my friends house like a fucking doofus showing up with a Nintendo switch under my arm and the device literally dropping onto the floor after it came loose from the dick. “You don’t need to use yours” my friend laughed “we just need one” are you fucking kidding me? “Then why the fuck did you tell me to get one?” Mood changed instantly, not my fault.

I wasn’t having fun at all, I was just thinking “I spent 300 dollars on this piece of shit, that’s 4 grocery shopping days, that’s more clothes, that’s this that whatever anything but this piece of filth Nintendo switch you fucking losers go soy over. So every time it’s my turn I angrily play and I make sure people know I’m angry, it got to a point I rolled so poorly I threw my joycon and left the couch, everyone went quiet but I didn’t give a fuck. One of my friends who has a romantic interest in me (not reciprocated) started rubbing me on my back, “bad day?” They said and I just felt even more angry but this time the anger was directed towards them. “I know you like me but I don’t like you” I said, they cried, left, don’t care, I spent 300 dollars on a piece of shit I’m never going to use.

None of my friends know how to navigate around me so it always feels like they’re hostages trying to ease their way out of the situation where they have a gun pointed at them, it’s pretty selfish of them considering I was the hostage and they were the shooters shooting me with “buy switch” or “Zelda is a good game it’s just like dark souls” or “get one it’ll improve your mood” has it fucking really? Has it improved my mood? What would improve my mood would be if someone paid me 300 dollars to piss shit and set the switch on fire and then throw it at someone playing happily’s head, that would improve my mood. Instead I have to use my adult fingers to navigate around a tiny ass “controller” it’s a fucking joke, just to have fun… your idea of “fun.”

I get Zelda because if it wasn’t clear already I am a dickhead, “it’s like dark souls” that one prick told me, wrong, nothing like dark souls why did I listen to this prick? My life is like dark souls because I have people laughing and lying at me, I’m always losing my SOULS because some MERCHANT “”friends”” tells me to buy this item because it will improve my VITALITY what a load of bullshit. Zelda sucks it looks like a unity project some kid made on the school computers, the story is literally “we repackaged the first game and sold it to you again because you are a loser and keep paying us money.” Tale as old as time for all Nintendo games tbh, smash, Metroid, Mario, Mario kart, sonic, Zelda, insufferable pokemon. I see a lot of people on hexbear talk shit about funko pops as they should, but the moment you condemn pokemon they go off on you like you killed their family. What the fuck, really?

I’ll give it away

what did you expect when buying a console hitherto lacking any FROMSOFT titles? the game was rigged from the start

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Dark Souls Remastered is on switch, though

This might be a bad question but could you return it? If it makes you so mad you might as well. Or sell it on a marketplace.

Oh, it's a bit :( My empathy glands are frustrated

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Instead of getting a switch, just get a steamdeck and pirate all the Nintendo games you want.

[–] buh@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

that's why I only play pirated boomer shooters

OP it sounds like people love and respect you and want you to feel better. That whole schizo hostage analogy was a bad joke or a sign you're traumatized to have no respect for yourself and aren't worthy of feeling better. which would be a shame because you are loved, and your friends want to see you feel better.

I think it’s a good idea to give the switch away. a less geeky friend or family would love that. If you put 10% of the heart of explaining it the way you have here it could be a special way to bond with someone in real life as well.

Positive vibes friend and comrade OP.

It really is an overrated system. The Steam deck is the better option in almost every way.

Bippity boppity I've stolen all of Nintendos intellectual property

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

I mostly have it to play Mario Kart and n64 Mario party online with my parents. That's pretty cool

[–] sexywheat@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Smash Ultimate is a lot of fun, albeit with a very toxic player base for online.

[–] SoloboiNanook@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

I played a lot of it but you couldn't pay me to play with that piece of shit net code lol.

11 frames of delay minimum. ELEVEN

Sorry, I will steal this part.

It's great for some indie games, but at that point it's just like going on Steam, but with controller drift.

I got obsessed over finding one at the start of the pandemic because I wanted to play animal crossing. I even got the animal crossing variant(tbh it was all they had). I came for the good vibes and left because it was so boring. The wonder of it must have disappeared since i played as a kid.

It took me forever to beat zelda, horizon zero dawn was just a cooler version on my ps4. my stupid ass bought the second one and I haven't touched it in months.

One good thing is the pheonix wright collection.
