Heh. There’s been way more Steam Deck/PC gaming fanboyism in here than Nintendo fanboyism. By calling someone out as a fanboy, then defending something, then ending your post with an attempted “drop the mic” moment, you’re kinda being a hypocrite.
Oh no you don’t. Your baptism is scheduled for next Tuesday. Don’t be late or the water will be cold.
Did you really just DEI the Steam Deck?
I assure you, my purchase of a Switch 2 was very much an informed decision. You can’t seem to grasp that some people have different tastes than you.
I think it’s funny that, for the longest time, people were being doomsayers for Switch 2 and saying it would have stiff competition with Steam Deck or even outright lose to Steam Deck. And whenever I brought up that they’re totally different markets and that Steam Deck is more niche, I would get downvoted and whatnot.
Now we see Switch 2 blowing up in sales and starting to see posts where people are trying to defend Steam Deck.
My how the turns have tabled.
Well it’s no longer Call of Lootbox. It’s Call of “Micro” Transactions.
But I’m not proving your point. Nowhere have I defended the game.
I’m saying that I made my bed, so I’m lying in it. The game was an investment I made and so I was getting my money’s worth. It was a mental decision I made before buying the game.
It helped that I like Call of Duty and so enjoyed myself for a good while, despite Black Op 6 being a total mess that’s hemorrhaging casual players and now hardcore players because they’ve shat the bed with Black Ops 6 one too many times (they, being Activi$ion and Treyarch).
Though I like Call of Duty, I’m not a fanboy who will defend the game. I’m a simple 9-5er casual player who turns the game on, has a bit of fun working to a camo goal, then turns the game off when I can’t take being smoked by the supposed “skill” based matchmaking anymore.
I’m trying to show you that it’s way more nuanced than you’re making it out to be.
In regards to the sunk cost “fallacy,” it was not a fallacy when I first made my decision to purchase the game. I’m only recently at a fork in the road with this game due to its problems making it less and less fun for me. I mentioned earlier that I played the first beta. Don’t you think I would’ve not purchased the game if I hadn’t had fun then?
I have no remorse for my purchase of the game whatsoever. Many hours of entertainment have been had. However, it will be an actual sunk cost fallacy for my purchase of season 4 Blackcell if I’m not enjoying it and feel the need to continue. I’m currently at that fork in the road right now and haven’t decided whether to put the game down or not. Most likely will though if I can’t find a way to make it fun. If I decided to anyway, then it would be the sunk cost fallacy. Not for Black Ops 6 as a whole, but for Season 4 Blackcell.
Also, if you wish to throw fallacies around, I must call you out on the cherry picking fallacy. The part you quoted had neatly been cushioned above it and below it with reasoning as to why my purchase decision wasn’t an example of the sunken cost fallacy, yet you seemed to have ignored the whole context and just plucked that part of my post out in order to what, feel like a smug debater or something? Lol.
Congrats on getting me to repeat myself, I guess.
Happy Cake Day!
That was not my attitude. Been sticking with the game since the first beta and have only recently been getting bummed by the game. My attitude was: If I’m going to spend money on the digital deluxe edition of the game, I’m sure as hell going to get my money’s worth.
Was having fun getting Dark Matter and have it on all the weapons minus this brand new season. But see my post in here that I made about the game becoming less fun.
I kinda regret getting Blackcell for Season 4. Even with a boost via Blackcell, the battle pass progression is super slow. I’m just not having fun this time around. Always matched against teams of super duper sweats who play like they’ve never touched a blade of grass in their lives.
(As a 9-5er, in B4 “skill issue.”)
The game feels more like a chore these days.
While y’all were beating your chests over PC operating systems, I was simply browsing lemmy on my phone.
I might get this just to support that they’re doing this. Been abused by “git gud” bros and their gatekeeping for far too long when it comes to difficulty.
Game is too hard, so I want to beat the game at a more comfortable difficulty level. If I like the game enough, I will then try to beat it at the harder level. Why is this such an abominable concept to those people?
Since when is Poe making laws? I thought he’s an X-Wing pilot.
I’m a straight male who is very secure in my masculinity. But I’ve gotten shit from people when I use female characters in games. Never understood why that’s a problem.
Well I have had dreams of reading books. They’re weird. Like, I know it’s a dream and the sentences don’t make any sense. But I keep reading it anyways.
This is incorrect. The first one is confirmed to be coming to Switch 2. The dude in the video said they look forward to working with Nintendo to bring the other ones in the trilogy to Switch 2. That neither confirms nor denies it will happen.
If anything, it gives them an out in case things don’t work out for whatever reason. They can’t be called liars because they didn’t make any promises.
Next step: Making people verify with Real ID. ☠️🫠
HD/2D Johto remake let’s fucking goooooooo
Virtue signaling isn’t going to get them anywhere if it’s not a polished experience.
Edit: Not saying it isn’t a polished experience though. I’m watching this with interest.
It most certainly does. People don’t seems to get it’s not WHAT you defend that makes you a fanboy, but HOW you defend it.
