I have been shitting on Sony, Microsoft, and VALVE all year on the Internet. But the moment I say some not-so nice things about Nintendo, that's when I'm the heartless monster.

"Urrm if you're willing to say as much about Nintendo, what about Xbox and PlayStation and their layoffs & studio shut downs?"

It's fucking embarrassing, they have no idea how to directly engage with anything. All these mouth breathing Nintendo cock hammocks know how to do is deflect and run around in circles. They're literally the fucking "what about waffles" image that everyone and their mother knows by now. I've met USSR apologists who've used less whataboutism than Nintendo fanboys.

Reggie is gone, Iwata is dead, the Wii U era is over, and now you are an adult stuck with a child you regret not putting in your high school sweethearts throat. Nintendo didn't give a shit about these people in the Wii U era either, they just needed a reason to keep them dragging their parents to GameStop every holiday.

Even Steam's fanboys, the service everyone loves to love, did not give me this much angst when I shat on all over the price of the Steam Machine. But I tell everyone that Nintendo is a stripper that doesn't love you and that a jailbreak for HOS2 was an inevitability, and I'm the out of touch idiot.

Guess what? The games industry is not going to suddenly collapse over night because some dipshits want to use a jb Switch to pirate OoT. Most people will tilt their head in confusion when you say "homebrew" to mean anything other than drinks made at home.

I have had every damn Nintendo, Sony, and MS console (baring the Series) since I was born, and I have a very nicely built PC in my room. I like video games a LOT. My irrelevant ass doesn't shit on these consoles to be a hater, I shit on them out of frustration because we as the consumer should demand MORE from THE ENTIRE industry, and we should be excited when consumers are able to bust the hardware that they OWN to do whatever the fuck they want with it.
