Developers were able to put out incredible games that hold up to modern releases 20 years ago on the Wii/PS3/360. The Switch 2 is the only platform on the market right now that makes any sense and if the other players had some foresight they would already be trying to copycat it.
If we’re not heading for an industry crash we’re certainly heading for a recentering. General consumers are beyond the point of buying for specs and will not pay 1k+ for current gen hardware. The future is in either cloud compute or weaker hardware or a bit of both.
Xbox is reportedly losing around $150 on every Xbox Series X|S console sold right now (even after the price hike).
That's... not good. I wonder if Sony and Nintendo are facing similar.

@hazevgc@sciss0rfingers@TRIPSTER0 That game was not mentioned anywhere in the tweet chain I responded to. They brought it up trying to make a “gotcha!” claim as though I’m a Sony pony. All of the console manufacturers are sucking hard rn and it’s stupid to glaze any of them
@Nuttnclown@sciss0rfingers@TRIPSTER0 Both are racing games and at least Mario Kart is essentially the same game as the last generation one. And it retails for $80 lmao
Neon Genesis Evangelion is, more than anything, about arrested development. This is why it’s the generational media for Gen X (its original post-bubble 90s audience) and now Gen Z.
How suffocating the need to “grow up” feels. To inherit a broken world with the expectation you’ll mend it. It feels easier to withdraw from society and give up.
Does that make Shinji a whiny bitch? Yes. of course.
That’s the point.
The very contours that make up the medium falling apart as the boundaries between people vanish; only returning when shinji realizes that it's the friction and differences between each of us that gives us shape, dreams and meaning. It is so visceral and cool
@BellhopDrew They’re not $420 bad but they’re still all selling above original MSRP now. Tried to track one down at a reasonable price for my ex girlfriend a while back and it was hell on earth, the entire 3DS market is so bad
