dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

What? Isnt there more competition against the switch now more than ever?

[–] graymess@hexbear.net 14 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

If you treat all videogame platforms as essentially the same, yeah, definitely. But you can't buy Mario Kart on Steam.

But there's way better more capable more useful handhelds now. What does the switch have outside vendor lock in?

And you can still emulate switch games despite Nintendo being the litigious monster they are.

No doubt you get your money's worth on other hardware. And I'm a longtime emulator fan, but I recognize that they're a good step above the average person's comfort level when it comes to computer gaming.

the steam deck is probably 10x the console the new switch is.. the IP of Mario and all that is the only thing Nintendo really has going for it
