  • I stood in line for hours for the wii on launch… Back then, it was a new interesting product though. I wish I kept it, and all the accessories (especially guitar hero)

    I bought a wii u… Sure they don’t fix the touchscreen if it breaks and you need a new one though… Still, there were some cool new games, but, somewhat similar to the Wii’s…

    Switch, I understand lining up for it… But, once it was clear that any previous purchases are basically wasted, the joycons were seriously dodgy, and Nintendo was never going to fix it (and many another 5000 mario games), they should have lost people then.

    Then they sold the switch 2… You can still only play games approved by nintendo, and really, the library is mainly Nintendo games, or games available on every platform. By now, Steam deck has gotten awesome, and you can STILL play games from your library from 20 years ago. And, you can use other stores if you want, and have a wide range of games, even in the steam store INCLUDING NSFW ones. And, you know those games are going to almost certainly work in the future without repurchase (and, also work on computer).

    I literally just bought a humble bundle of 10 games for 20% the price of 1 switch game. And I can play them on computer, TV, Steamdeck, etc.

    I’d only pay for nintendo if they were subscription based and thin client. As it stands though, I feel like I’m better off just waiting 20 years until I’m 60 and they’re readily available on emulator



  • Problem with Nintendo, is it’s mostly just remakes of the same games and characters. Also they screwed any customers who bought games before the switch 1, as you can’t play them on switch.

    The switch 1, they never fixed the joycons… They should have recalled and redesigned every joycon… But, for some reason people seem ok with that. Nintendo imho is actually fairly anti consumer

    Ps5 I ended up selling. It’s good but I figured I have hundreds of steam games, so there was no real benefit of having a ps5 too.

    Use the console you want… But, I’m never buying a Nintendo again. I’m happy to be able to continue playing the same games I bought 15 years ago on the latest steam deck




  • That’s not true, at least not in Victoria and many other states I’m aware of. Again, I know because I used to install/configure cameras, including in carparks and even a large shopping center. It’s also why most cameras don’t even include a mic at all

    Feel free to show us the exception in the law.

    Furthermore, it wouldn’t make any sense as it would be the world’s most obvious loophole and violate people’s privacy. As literally everyone could just claim they were trying to identify theft. And, it would still allow people to listen to the conversation if they were watching the nvr without being a part of the convo

    In some states, you need to be a part of the conversation. In others, you need permission from the other side too.

    This isn’t just Australia, world-wide in most countries a sign doesn’t count for consent

    There’s a reason you never see security footage on TV with audio recorded. You can possibly record a crime being performed as evidence, but, supermarket cameras would be recording all audio, including unrelated audio …
