Yeah, it's got doom. The frame rate is fairly useless, much like the rest of the device it seems.

Latency is terrible (as in 1-2 seconds to respond to a single key press even in a text editor, let alone doom) and the screen is limited to, iirc, 1 million refreshes total before dying. At roughly fives hours of use per day with a refresh once/second, you're looking at 55 days before the screen burns out.

I would argue that this sort of nonsense DOES make them stupid.

South Park has traditionally supported the GOP by either normalizing things or both-sides'ing.

Don't expect them to suddenly stop now.

Series S is $299 here, unless you're getting used. PS5 digital is hardly apples to oranges, considering the Switch 2 isn't offering a cartridgeless version.

I also like your arguement about the switch 2 somehow being lesser because it's going to get scalped, very pointedly ignoring the PS5-shaped scalper elephant in the window. I guess I spoke too soon in the other post- you didn't manage to delete all examples of cutting Sony and MS a break, you've got one right here!

As for the price, sony and microsoft charge $70 for a standard edition game, but also often incomplete and requiring extra money from 'DLC' or 'premium/deluxe' editions to actually be properly playable/have the baseline plot/lore, which nintendo doesn't do.

I can't, because you went and deleted it lmaooooo

The reason I think it's astroturfing is because there's a lot of people who are critical of Nintendo, while simultaneously giving Sony and Microsoft a free pass for doing the exact same thing, or even just making things up outright to bash Nintendo, like your claims that it's 'hardware that is long in the tooth at launch.'

Then what exactly are you expecting? The market for new consoles is currently:

Switch 2: $449

Xbox Series S: $299, less resolution/less fps, less powerful than the switch 2

Xbox Series X: $499, more expensive, same resolution/fps, more powerful (tflops) than switch 2, 15.7x the size

PS5: $499, more expensive, same resolution, more fps, more powerful (tflops) than switch 2 but less so than series x, 24x the size

The switch 2 was positioned, and announced, as a portable console capable of similar power levels as one console generation ago, and it overdelivered- the common comparison is that it's more powerful than a PS4. For a handheld, that is absurdly good, and the price is certainly in line with the rest of the market. The literal only outlier is the Series S being significantly cheaper, which tracks considering the switch 2 is more powerful than it, while being a handheld.

... It's using modern hardware, with specs that are entirely reasonable for being a handheld. The fuck are you expecting, a ps6 that you stick in your pocket for $200?

Honestly I just have to wonder if it's not astroturfing, or the results of astroturfing.

Lmao outrageously priced. It's higher than it was, yes, but I remember the PS3 announcement.

Now THAT was outrageously priced!

$950 for the 60gb model after inflation!

Are you fucking stupid? This is how you get shot. You aren't special, you aren't powerful, you're just going to get your shit wrecked.

It's just lemmy.ml taking a pop at the US so they can feel superior. Feel free to ignore.
