Bought a Nintendo switch, without a doubt the worst purchase decision I have ever made

I bought a switch because I wanted to fit in with everyone else and play party games with friends (fuck family). I played Mario party and I had a good time, it was fun and the RNG was great I had never in my life played a game where it didn’t matter how well you did it could all fuck up at the end which happened MULTIPLE times. I don’t know why I bought a switch because I realized later I could have just purchased the joy remotes for a disgusting 70 dollars but instead I went to my friends house like a fucking doofus showing up with a Nintendo switch under my arm and the device literally dropping onto the floor after it came loose from the dick. “You don’t need to use yours” my friend laughed “we just need one” are you fucking kidding me? “Then why the fuck did you tell me to get one?” Mood changed instantly, not my fault.

I wasn’t having fun at all, I was just thinking “I spent 300 dollars on this piece of shit, that’s 4 grocery shopping days, that’s more clothes, that’s this that whatever anything but this piece of filth Nintendo switch you fucking losers go soy over. So every time it’s my turn I angrily play and I make sure people know I’m angry, it got to a point I rolled so poorly I threw my joycon and left the couch, everyone went quiet but I didn’t give a fuck. One of my friends who has a romantic interest in me (not reciprocated) started rubbing me on my back, “bad day?” They said and I just felt even more angry but this time the anger was directed towards them. “I know you like me but I don’t like you” I said, they cried, left, don’t care, I spent 300 dollars on a piece of shit I’m never going to use.

None of my friends know how to navigate around me so it always feels like they’re hostages trying to ease their way out of the situation where they have a gun pointed at them, it’s pretty selfish of them considering I was the hostage and they were the shooters shooting me with “buy switch” or “Zelda is a good game it’s just like dark souls” or “get one it’ll improve your mood” has it fucking really? Has it improved my mood? What would improve my mood would be if someone paid me 300 dollars to piss shit and set the switch on fire and then throw it at someone playing happily’s head, that would improve my mood. Instead I have to use my adult fingers to navigate around a tiny ass “controller” it’s a fucking joke, just to have fun… your idea of “fun.”

I get Zelda because if it wasn’t clear already I am a dickhead, “it’s like dark souls” that one prick told me, wrong, nothing like dark souls why did I listen to this prick? My life is like dark souls because I have people laughing and lying at me, I’m always losing my SOULS because some MERCHANT “”friends”” tells me to buy this item because it will improve my VITALITY what a load of bullshit. Zelda sucks it looks like a unity project some kid made on the school computers, the story is literally “we repackaged the first game and sold it to you again because you are a loser and keep paying us money.” Tale as old as time for all Nintendo games tbh, smash, Metroid, Mario, Mario kart, sonic, Zelda, insufferable pokemon. I see a lot of people on hexbear talk shit about funko pops as they should, but the moment you condemn pokemon they go off on you like you killed their family. What the fuck, really?

I’ll give it away

  • Love you Mel, you're right up there next to BMF as one of my favorite legendary posters round these parts

    • Melina makes tongue in cheek posts that some clueless folks take seriously, BMF makes serious posts that we all collectively laugh at and go 'good one' to.

      • Little do u know it's the other way around

      • Thoroughly disagree. BMF is good, if hyper obscure, takes phrased in the most online way possible. There have only been like two that I could not parse. Mostly I laugh at the phrasing because it is more unique than Maoist English, but not quite as catchy as UlyssesT phrases were.

        Melina is mostly just specifically calculated to make people on this forum mad but in a kinda funny way, but with doing that kind of posting you are going to whiff alot.

  • The Switch blackpill spreads!

    When the blackpill hits, my brother says "I haven't touched it in months"! When the blackpill hits, an old highschool friend said "it's gathering dust"!

  • the only good part about the nintendo switch is how low the hardware requirements are to emulate switch games on the PC

    otherwise i'd simply rather cry myself to sleep than give nintendo 70 dollars to play a 26.33 fps game on a kindle fire

    Sorry, I will steal this part.

  • good post

    • None of my friends know how to navigate around me so it always feels like they’re hostages trying to ease their way out of the situation where they have a gun pointed at them, it’s pretty selfish of them considering I was the hostage and they were the shooters shooting me with “buy switch” or “Zelda is a good game it’s just like dark souls” or “get one it’ll improve your mood” has it fucking really?

      my friends do this too

  • I got obsessed over finding one at the start of the pandemic because I wanted to play animal crossing. I even got the animal crossing variant(tbh it was all they had). I came for the good vibes and left because it was so boring. The wonder of it must have disappeared since i played as a kid.

    It took me forever to beat zelda, horizon zero dawn was just a cooler version on my ps4. my stupid ass bought the second one and I haven't touched it in months.

    One good thing is the pheonix wright collection.

    • Animal Crossing New Horizon fucking sucked so hard. It's not a you thing, it's a that game thing. I'm enjoying my Switch but I don't play many games. It's got Zelda and Metroid Dread as well as a good chunk of indie and retro games which is more my speed anyway. I'm playing some Katamari rn, it's pretty cool

      • I got one of those miyoo emulation devices and decided to try out the GBA metroid fusion and I think i finally get the metroidvania genre and I've been thinking of trying out Metroid dread, even if it is expensive. I don't buy games often because i'm always disappointed(i'm an idiot who bought starfield assuming reviewers were haters and that'd it be about as fun as fallout 4).

  • Elden Ring is getting ported with a Switch exclusive DLC so just wait for it
