Reply to comment by dented42ford in Feeling like I wasted my money investing in a Nintendo Switch. by [deleted]

Call down son, it's just a piece of plastic, maybe iys the endless mario and pokemon games with the odd zelda that they have been doing for over 20 fucking years might be a given, if you like that shit then fine, in my eyes it is typically targeted towards children, weebs and people who ...erm idk like to play on a train for whatever reason ? Fuck knows maybe niche wasn't the right word but i aint getting one lol

For one thing, my Switch is metal and glass...

For another, I have no horse in this race, owning all the current gen consoles, a Steam Deck, and a PC (and a Mac for work). And all of the previous gens back to the NES, as well, with a few exceptions (dunno where my Jaguar went, and never got an Xbox One). I just like games, I don't make my like of particular kinds a part of my identity.

I suspect I also have at least 10 years on you, if not more. The "targeted towards children and weebs" in particular doesn't come off as, shall we say, mature. Son.

The entire reason for my reply was to point out your logical inconsistency, no more, no less. That is not a defense of said console.

No, they corrected your misappropriation of the term "niche".

They aren't mad for you not liking the switch.

Stop trying to deflect. Just admit that you were wrong in your selection of words and move on.

Learn to use English properly.

Oh, I think he used it correctly within his own mind, he just is so blinded by his own little niche - used correctly - that he doesn't comprehend that the larger industry and culture isn't just what he sees.

In other words, he seems to be deafened in his echo chamber.

I'm not in any way angry or upset, just a bit puzzled at how you could hold such a self-evidently incorrect view of the state of the industry.
