but I have had an issue w/ my Bluetooth headphones dying and not being able to plug in my wired headphones

and I refuse to use a dongle

Sounds like your problem was self-made. I use wired headphones flawlessly without the 3.5mm jack and reap all the benefits of both worlds, because the older tech isnt actually superior

Yeah, Lemmy is full of people stuck in their way and insisting older tech is better because they refuse to update

for playing something I enjoy

No, for mindlessly buying something at a higher price and then writing paragraphs defending yourself

When games cost $100+ it's people like you that will be partly responsible, and that will cost me more money, so I will not "chill the fuck Out" and let you consume without pointing out what you're doing

especially if you're aware enough to be multi-paragraph defensive from the get-go

Like it's worth mentioning how a lot of games already are well above $80 after DLC anyway, but I guess those games get a pass?

They do not, at all. Though, what do you think games will cost if the base is $80 and DLC is still a thing? Cuz the answer is more than it does now

Or just how fucked up most F2P business models are, exploiting whales to subsidize everybody else.

Also discussed all the time and is, in fact, one of the reasons this new price becoming a standard is worrying as it's not just F2P games that do this shit

I'd rather play a game where everyone pays a fair price than one where addicts are taken advantage of and encouraged to financially ruin themselves

We all would, but that's not what we're going to get out of the price hike and you know it

But the way I see it, if Kirby Air Ride 2 costs $80, I'm willing to spend $80 on that game

And you're the problem. That becomes the standard for all games now that Nintendo has broken the seal with their nostalgia spell and you helped them. How about you just pirate it if it's so important that you play it, rather than directly support the death of the industry?

And I think ultimately, you gotta just buy the things that are worth it to you, skip the things that aren't, and then chill the fuck out.

You seem to live in a world where Nintendo aren't making decisions that impact the industry. If Nintendo makes more expensive games OK to do then every game gets more expensive. We don't get to be selective, that's the whole point

As gamers have called for more and more unrealistic standards of graphical fidelity

Been around long enough to remember it wasn't the gamers doing that, it was the game makers. Specifically the c-suites

There's 0 justification for games going up in cost other than the c-suites, end of story

Oh, I'm sorry, bigoted dipshit. Forgot you need to specify exactly what level of stupidity someone's on or you'll get pendanted to death

Dayday, so it can be payday on dayday for the baybay

I havent bothered to try taking mine apart:

Does Nintendo still insist on using the triangle screws nobody sells? Like cuntsm

Thankfully the first woman in space wasn't in NASA, so that info is still up where it belongs

Get blocked

The battle cry of the pathetic loser who can't handle someone staunchly not falling for their bullshit

Nah, don't really feel like doing that

Keep pretending your bullshit tech isn't smoke and mirrors, dipshit
