i was very good. i didn't buy a yellow nintendo switch lite to play animal crossing and fire emblem and octopath traveller...
yet.
no, but i didn't.
i think they are like a kindle...
no... that's not quite right.
i think they are like...
once upon a time kids used to hide torches under the covers at night so they could read things... lord of the rings. or harry potter.
and now... i imagine kids on their nintendo switch lite playing animal crossing and fire emblem and octopath traveller...
and i imagine kids hacking their nintendo switch lite... like how once upon a time (mythical kids from my perspective) hacked their calculators to play doom 1.0.
once they stopped laughing about boobs.
i imagine kids hacking their nintendo switch lite... so they can learn calculus on khan academy.
'it's okay mom, i'm just playing animal crossing'

my atari-st. sad day. i hope it went to a good home.
after saying i wasn't going to buy a nintendo-lite... of course i did.
i didn't go all out. i didn't buy the macintosh desktop that i thought i might... i didn't buy a gaming keyboard and mouse. i didn't buy an external monitor or display...
i brought a nintendo-lite.
so that i don't play games on my macbook. ideally. so i don't play games on my macbook. so i use my macbook for work-y stuff. learning stuff. not for playing games on it.
i've never prioritised games when it came to computers. i mean to say i've never been able to play the most recent games. i've always had to play games with the settings on low. play old games. etc. i'm not complaining. i don't mind. but it does interfere with immersions.
i've wanted a switch lite for a long time. because of the d pad and the controller built it. it seems to be better than the switch because it is the same screen resolution so the smaller sized screen translates to increased pixel density.
i am really really really really really really really looking forward to playing animal crossing and fire emblem. and elder scrolls. i really wanted a console to play elder scrolls on.. from.. when it was very first released.
i love rpg's. but i do find the turn based ones a bit boring / tedious. and i have trouble with keyboard and mouse in real time. because i don't like to sit at a desk. so the controller pad... to look around and move and aim and so on...
i'm really really looking forward to it. that's probably why i never got into world of warcraft properly and i didn't enjoy playing with people. because they were programming macros and so on and i'm not into that.
so...
i'm not going to feel bad. it's my little bit of nostolga from having an atari-st with a game-pack. just a couple (not 20 anymore) of high quality games.
it's also putting something $$ back into an industry that has provide many hours of entertainment for me... and i hope they go on to create and support content creators with the money they get from me.
go nintendo.
yay.

one thing i am curious about (the whole world is, really) is how many people / how much people will pay for a new port of a game they already own.
for example, who will buy octopath traveller for nintendo when it is available on game-pass?
i imagine playing octopath traveller under the covers at night... i mean... it's built for nintendo switch-lite. it's perfect for it...
but the price differential... when it's available on game-pass...
to some people. with a computer or x-box, i suppose...
hrm.
when i was at uni i had an x-box (i brought it for halo) and my friend brought a play-station (so we had access to those games, too). i mean, i got to play it with her. that was the thing of it, i suppose. i didn't get into playing those games solo.
i suppose stardew valley is the gateway. it being ridiculously low-priced (for what it is) and it being so obviously perfect for nintendo switch-lite, again...

In reply to Re: she sold it, posted by alexandra_k on January 27, 2022, at 21:51:23
anyway, apparently the elder scrolls port is really really solid so i'm very excited for that.
i'm not sure i'm into the octopath traveller style of game.
i'll see how i go with fire-emblem. with the fighting... i get really got into x-comm games (but i'm not sure why not, honestly). i've seen enough of the story and non-fighting elements to know i'll enjoy everything else about it.
shame grand theft auto sucks, by all accounts (the port). i never played any of those and i know some people really really loved them.
but i'm super excited for elder scrolls :)
and watching cohh play octopath got me through... i don't remember what i was doing at the time... writing something for something... i don't remember... but i do remember thinking 'hmmmm i think i need to get a nintendo i really want to play that'...and i don't think i'm going to get legend of zelda. or that i'm into mario karts or smash brothers... so...
i think 3 games will keep me very entertained for many years... and i can get spiro etc etc the games i enjoyed playing with my friend on her playstation... at some point. maybe. down the track. at a reasonable price.
so...
i don't think i'm terrible. i decided it was more important to me than an SE i-phone. so that was the decision / choice that i made.
go nintendo.
game pass is coming to apple soon -- right? The apple store people can't stop it or something something i don't really follow along...

So...
The switch-lite is kind of a gateway into the Nintendo system.
It is brilliant / ingenious of them. A relatively cheaply priced console. Something kids can get their parents buying out of the price-point comparison and also the hope (perhaps) that the kids will play it quietly and not commandeer the TV. I mean it is not cheap (in NZ dollars) but it is considerably cheaper than alternatives on the market. And the quality that you get... It really is a phenomenally terrific product. It makes me think that sale of other products is subsidizing it... For them to be able to offer such a high quality product so cheaply (relatively speaking).
And of course... My understanding develops... It is really about... Those game cartridges.
Pfft.
But *what is it* about those game cartridges?
Wells... They are still figuring / sorting things out...
What is the situation?
Wells... So far as I see it or understand it... The people are right to be genuinely worried about governments or other idiots choosing to use power for ill / harm. For example, why would you voluntarily purchase something like an electric motor vehicle when it is so easy for people who have the power and authority (not you) to lock you out of your own car or to refuse to allow you to drive someplace you want to go or else to refuse to allow you to drive anyplace at all? Think of the logistics that go into refusing to allow you to drive your electric car vs the logistics that go into refusing to allow you to drive your mechanical car. Now... As a consumer... Why would anybody in their right mind choose to buy an electric vehicle? Why would anybody in their right mind (given the current state of governments and so on and so forth) choose to hand over that kind of power to the powers that be?
It doesn't really make much of any sense...
Similarly...
Different models, here... Let's suppose (for sh*ts and giggles) the actual idea or ideology is to try and figure out the thing that's most fair for all parties with an interest...
1) You have an online platform and you pay an ammount to access whatever you want on the platform for the duration of the subscription. E.g., something like Gamepass. Like Netflix for games. It involves a lot of bandwidth to download the entire game so that you can play it for the duration of the time you have access... But... Well... I don't know how that cashed out in real money. Does sending data cost actual money? I mean... Is it wear and tear on a satellite or a cable or.. I don't know.. You build that into the cost of the subscription -- right?
2) You pay to purchase a particular game. And then you get some kind of a key so you can download it. But what do you get for the purchase price? HOw many times can you download it on how many systems? Can only the purchaser play it? How about their kids? How about all the kids in the neighbourhood? On the one device it was downloaded to or all devices owned by teh person who paid?
It is genuinely difficult, I mean to say.
Not even at the point of how you distribute the money you receive when it comes to paying the developers and the various people involved at various points of the supply chain..
3) I like this idea of (durable and practically but not totally) indestructable game cartridges. Theres things you can do with the cartridges, too... Collect 'em all??? Wells... Lolz. Yes. Nintendo... Because... Japan. (I say that because I heard Cohh say it... I'm not entirely sure what it means... The sense I get from the phrase is... Because of some mysterious reason that nobody is sure whether it's a cultural difference or a well thought out brilliant move or quite what or why... Nobody quite knows... But there's probably some reason... That we don't quite understand...)
There is a thing about swaping.
ANd that is maybe a problem.... If you think of games like... What's it called... I don't know. LIfe is strange. A story game. You kind of want to say that there is no replayability... But is that true? Actually.. I don't think that's the case. I think there is replayability and I think people would value having it (to keep for always) on a cartridge in their library the way they value having a physical copy of lord of the rings or harry potter or whatever... On their physical shelf.
But that's a niche market. A certain kind of... Maybe. Yeah.
Anyway...
Back to the plot.
So there's gaming cartridges...
But now there's the problem of how games are often not perfect on release. ANd... There are problems of how perfect games should be expected to be on release. And problems of how much developers should pay people to try and play and bug fix the games prior to release vs how much they can... Release things a bit early and.. Get... Actual players to report bugs for them..
Hrm......
Hrm....
Hrm....
I watched Cohh play Fire Emblem (three houses) in the background when I was working on various things. Instead of crying in front of my computer about how much I hated what I had to be doing... I'd turn on a Cohh Stream and start watching him play... And at a certain point (no offense at all) I'd feel a bit bored... Like I could multi-task something else at the same time, I mean to say... So I'd just kick open my work document... ANd it would sit there... ANd I'd watch him stream... And every now and then I'd feel a bit genuinely motivated or inspired to make some alteration to the work document. ANd sometimees I'd find myself turning down the volume on his stream... Even closing it. But othertimes I'd find myself pausing it. Or, Sometimes I woudl find mjyself rewinding it a little because I missed something I really wanted to see.. Anyway... It was company to make the work feel less burdensome. I think it genuinely helped with productivity.
But... Well... I don't think it eliminated my desire to play games. NOt the really really good games. Haha. I do not feel that I was keeping up very well at all with the story on most of the things I saw him play. ANd he always made decisions different from what I would -- and I wanted to see the consequences of my decisions in game. I was glad, though, that he played the blue house (the one I had least desire to play). But I suppose I will feel that after red and yellow house play-throughs I will end up playing the blue house and enjoying it because there was a lot I missed because I was working, mostly, through his playthroughts.
I am glad Nintendo allowed streamers to stream. I think it is a good decision that will result in higher game sales. Consumers always have the choice how and whether they watch streamers stream the game and they can avoid spoilers.
But I do understand... Why they have tried to be closed about that. You don't want people to be blurting out the ending of a movie while you are standing in line to see it...
But everyone has been relying on some of that to really push the prices up on the first sales.
Combining that with early access for streamers to market sufficiently to movitage people to pay that initial purchase price...
___
Back to cartridges.
The issue of bug fixes / updates.
How much you should pay (extra)) for work that's done on the product post-release. Bug fixing vs DLC's. Free DLC's when the community feels ripped off?? How is that supposed to go, exactly?
So you buy a cartridge (paying a premium price for having the physical cartridge) but instead of putting the 16GB game (let's say) on a 16GB cartridge elects to put the first 8GB of the game on the 8GB cartridge and you have to download the rest... Else you can't play the rest of the game.
Is that ok?
You pay for a physical cartrdige and when you put it into your nintendo it prompts you to enter the key you got next to your cartridge and electronically downloads the entire thing. That is to say the cartrdige was an empty key that only served to lock you out of the game because you need not only an electronic key now but also the physical cartrdige. Without BOTH you don't have access...
We aren't quite there, yet, but that's the concern after how borderlands collection chose to do their cartridge. I have yet to see if I have the first game playable without electronic key (from cartridge) or if the whole thing is electronic with the cartridge only serving as an additional thing to lock me out...
I do feel screwed. Apparently if I had have done my research properly on it I would have learned... Maybe that's true. It's borderlands? What do you expect? It's fitting, somehow...
Genuine issues to be worked out. I hope Nintendo doesn't sell-out. I hope they figure ways to subside a core quality product that's worth collecting.
I am hoping I get teh first game to play from cartrdige. I would consider that a good price / fair deal / and also lesson learned. To be fair. It cost less than a standard full price cartrdige game... For 3 games... But the first one is an old game, now..
Apparently the witcher port is solid. They put the entire game on cartridge. No massive download.
The issue with downloads is that the system doesn't come with much storage.
Animal crossings did a weird thing, too.. Pushing things, I mean to say. Genuine questions... ABout what is fair to be happening.
People did not understand what it meant for there to be 1 console per island. There wasn't a way of explaining it without spoiling the game to a certain extent.
So... Everyone in the household needs their own switch-lite? ANd their own game-card. Lol. Yeah... Indeed.
Personally... I am not enjoying animal crossing as much as I hoped that I would... But I certainly do think I have a great product with the SwitchLite.. HOpefully I can swap it for subnautica or Witcher 3.
__
Looking forward...
Persona 5 Royal. C'mon.
Persona 4 -- they are going to update and re-release, they reckon.I am curious about the old school games you can get on the Nintendo Game Pass...
And I suppose I may discover / enter into the Zelda thing in that way. New one this year, maybe.. And sonic...
I am remembering now...
Another point in my life... Tekken 3 and Tony Hawk 1 and 2, I think... Lots of those... Lolz.
I think it was Sega Master System. Sonic the Hedgehog 2. That was a pretty great game. Great for a group of people just hanging out and taking turns and you hand over the controller when you lose a life and try and clock the game in a weekend or across a few weekends or whatever...

I don't remember how old I was... When I saw "Far and Away" at the Movies. I guess it was on release in this country.
It was bizarre. I mean genuinely bizarre unlike anything I had ever seen. I was raised on Disney. It was not Disney. It was something else.
I suppose retrospectively it was a little Alice in Wonderland...
But at the time it felt incredibly alien. So totally unlike anything I had ever experienced...
Nintendo is like a gateway to Asia for the West.
AI Somnium Files. That's worth getting. I didn't follow as much of the story as I would like -- I've seen enough to know it's worth following.
These kinds of story-novel anime... It's a different thing.
Because Japan?
Why can't there be spiritual opium from China?
Hello????
You could use it, also, to create a story worth telling and retelling and reretelling with quality translation so as to teach all the little kiddies of the West how to listen to messages from China.
Just sayin...
Yay NZ. So much winning in the *rs* about face direction. So totally leading the world. For reals.

Soooo...
For some unfathomable reason the Nintendo Pro Controller has Steam Support. Just saying. I guess that shows how much Steam has been profiting from having Nintendo Games made available for Steam purchase for play on PC or Non-Nintendo Systems.
So I feel a bit stupid... But I actually thought that Nintendo was Sony (the maker of PlayStation). I didn't know that it wasn't... Hur... I also thought Nintendo was Sega. Hmm...
But there is something with Nintendo and Sega... It makes sense that the Sega Software go to Nintendo since they are still in the hand-held gaming market. Which is encroached upon all the time as more and more and more people acquire lap-top computers that are capable of playing games.
______
I will admit that I have thought about buying an upgraded nintendo devise. I mean to say I have been looking into the prices of OLED and so on since I got my lite. Not because I am disappointed... BUt there is an element of playing down a corridor and you can't alter the FOV and there is a mild motion sickness. It is true. Things are perfectly playable... But it is an aspect or feature... And you are somewhat locked in with the purchase of game cards as the obvious investment. Right.
That's what I mean about it being the gateway drug.
Hopefully they will honor their investors by developing newer systems that are backwards compatible with game cartridges (while inspiring continued investment in new game cartridges). For sure.
They could also do more with their accessories (which are currently being supplied by US market). I mean the high quality accessories like cases and so on... Those sorts of things, people will pay when they are investing in something collectable. There's that sense about it.
Like how there's all this kerfuffle about physical books vs online books, right? But if you talk to people who really are deeply into their studies or whatever then people have the sense that quality items are collectable lin their physical form. People who don't undersetand the value of that.. Are welcome to subside it. In the many ways they can by paying and repaying and rerepaying etc for various ports...
I don't see any bugs in Animal Crossing. The trouble / difficulty is that I don't have any friends with a Switch Console and a copy of the game. And the real value of the game is when you are part of a community where everyone has their own console, their own cartridge, and their own island. It's not really my kind of game... But that's cool. I didn't buy it for that game, honestly.
If there was a particular game... It was Fire Emblem 3 Houses with the knowledge that Elder Schools was also available (that was a must have on my next hardware purchase for gaming because I wanted it for so long and everybody says it is amazing and must have and it is exactly my style of game). And seeing the various cartridges that were available and how they seemed to be porting more and more rather than less and less. And wanting to invest in something not blizard not apple and not microsoft. So there.
Japan gave Yakuza to gamepass...
It is time for a bit more credit for Japan...

I mean we know we are not a developed nation -- right?
It's still considered news-worthy that most of the people who play computer games are not psychopathic reclusive terrorist pimple faced teenagers who are to be shipped off to die for their country at the first opportunity we have to dispose of them.
I mean we certainly haven't developed to the point of *allowing* the kids with the capacity to do what it is with their lives that they state they want to do (when it comes to computer science / technology / software).
Anymore than we listen to people when it comes to science and tech (and think of things like the research and development that goes into antibody tests and the like -- we just hand it all off to foreign people to develop and give to us as handouts or we just steal the imports of people who were bright enough to get their orders in etc etc etc)...
Won't listen to people with the capacity.
Will only listen to people without the capacity.
To the detriment of us all.

AI somnium files is really expensive!! Wowsers!!
Know what else is expensive that I would LOVE to see on Switch:
We happy few.
It's very... Today. I mean, Governments of NOW.
I get why the censors of Australia wanted to ban it outright.
Not because it depicted drug use. But because it depicted resistence against the government inspired drug use (Aussie is keen for generations of alcoholics they think it will breed them the gamma babies they desire)
I would love to see We Happy Few on Switch. Can't wait to see what Compulsion Games comes up with, next.

Grand Theft Auto was... I don't know how many hours of content... And then the Government Censors needed to, specifically, try certain actions in order to get certain responses, in game.
Unless they had the technical know-how or expertise to pop the hood on the programming, of course.
Once upon a time (not so very many months ago) I legit thought everything was programmed in, like C++ or C# or whatever. I mean, I thought that was how people built games. I didn't know things were genuinely created within such background platforms as unreal engine. But that makes sense of how they can crank out so many relatively stupid games so quickly. If that makes sense. How it is possible to make things in a sort of... Unthinking way or manner. Uninspired games, I mean to say.
Anyway...
How many hours of gameplay and certain triggers...
I don't know what is up with the Australian Government trying to censor We Happy Few. I imagine that it meant the company made it. Because of the publicity they got. Being censored in the Borderlands LOLZ. I meant to say it backfired really rather consdierably. It only makes people ewnat to know what on earth would be censored in Australia. And dwhy. The country wehre alcoholism is a national duty. Etc.

I mean Australian Companies Legit got into Making Borderlands. Obviously. For Obvious Reason. They thought that was a genuine source of national pride for them that they made it that they were producing such content.
So they wanted to Censor (Prohibit) the Canadians.
Did Canada seek to censor Borderlands content? Where you teach people that:
There ain't no rest for the wicked
Because money don't grow on trees...
(No, NZ boat people plastic dollars are printed in Candada)
Anyway... They censor the BorderlandsMOtivational and Inspirational Song...
On YouTube etc.For obvious reaons.
Once you've heard it...
There's no going back.You know what they stand for.
Teh ideology.Get off of my bus.

I am not a content creator.
They think they can force me to create content. To be a content creator.
They WILL NOT F*CK*NG LISTEN TO ME TO WHAT I SAY ABOUT MY CONTRIBUTION AND WHAT IT CAN BE AND WHAT IT SHOULD BE BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS THINK THEY KNOW BETTER THAN ME WHAT IT IS THAT I CAN (AND CAN"T DO) AND WHAT IT IS THAT I AM GOOD FOR
And that's what they don't understand or comprehend. How they are completely and utterly incapable of deciding for people what it is that they should do with tehir lives and dwhat their constribtuion should be.
Because all they undersetand is sucking up their buttholes. At the end of the day that's the only thing they value the only thing they understand and they only listen to the people who will voluntarily (because kept in conditions of abject poverty) will do that.
And there we go.
That's how we get to be last in the world. Every time. Not on teh radar of wars between gaming developerers in Australia or Canada. Trying to make money off people we call demented in NZ.

The NZ government just genuinely did not seem to realise that people from NZ could (in fact would) take news from NY and Washington and, let's face it, every other country...
And then compare those sources to the likes of the Herald and TVNZ and go on to make up their own minds.
That was not comprehensible to them.
The people who cannot assess the difference in quality between this or that or the other article (when it suits them). I'm sure we didn't get the film coverage of the NZers ski jump, also, because our higher quality coverage was.. Um.. Otherwise occupied. Sure. They needed to be busy filming our esteemed leaders. I am wondering if they are the last leaders of the world to wear quality face-masks in public? Last in teh developed world... Last in the actual world... I mean... HOw many more generations do we need to wait to see Ashley Bloomfield wearing a N95 mask? Even a P2?
How many generations...
What's that? We are too busy starving the health system (cry cry cry the very same people who are taking the money out).
This is the end of the thread.
