Nintendo Switch is available for MSRP if you're a Prime member https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MUAGZ49/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Not quite 599 US DOLLARS but I can't see plunking down 500+ just to play some Mario and Zelda. I'll wait until they're cheaper.

btw i got sega cd and 32x working just fine with an emulator called Kega Fusion. Works really well.

Saturn stuff is next, its really just getting the emulator to work right. It was only just recently hardware cracked so you can load games via usb onto the system (after like 20 years) and it's a bit wonky tbh

i really want to find a good dos games pack . I got like 800 GB free on one of the hard drives, wanna cram this sucker full.

hell maybe i'll go full sperg and do weird poo poo like intellivision and sinclair systems. I already have a crazy amount of Tandy stuff I could do too

Here ya go, tards:

quote:

Looking at Banks' study years after I called it quits, I was struck by the responses from servicemembers who reported chronic physical or psychological issues. Service-related injuries and PTSD, she found, seem strongly linked with escapism and coping as motivations for playing games.

"What was really interesting to me is that they (chronic sufferers) were the only ones who reported higher levels of fantasy motivations and skill-development motivations," Banks said. "My interpretive brain takes that as possibly suggesting when you have these more pervasive, every day issues, not only do you want to escape those things, but also augment yourself in other ways."

Even absent physical or mental trauma, there seems to be something unique about military gamers. Age, gender, length of time in service, and service branch didn't seem to matter in Banks' results, which she said could mean that there's just something about being in the military that affects gaming consumption and motivation.

Watts and Bratten used games to take back a small and brief measure of control during deployments, periods when control was something they had very little of for months at a time. While on a ship under steam or stationed on an Afghan airfield, there's no real way to strike a "work/life balance," because your life is spent at work. Under those circumstances, games can function as a non-work social space for servicemembers, somewhere to hang out that isn't The Job � a place where they can express their agency outside the ubiquitous chain of command.

I'd wait for the next switch hardware revision if they haven't already. I owned one for a week, now that some games are actually coming out it might actually be worthwhile

No, I just got it for the MSRP of $299.

# ? Jul 11, 2017 00:25

orange juche: Mar 14, 2012

299 is a hell of a lot more palatable than the massive stupid markup on them right now. 400+ bucks is too much for what is essentially a high-powered tablet with nintendo games, especially since the games are 49-59 bucks a piece etc.

BOTW is pretty drat good. I'm not a fan of the weapon durability, although it's not a huge issue, and I don't like cooking and having to gather poo poo etc. Would be better if they made the cooking screen more intuitive or let you do it by batch

I bought a Switch and think it's a pretty neat console. The screen is really nice on it and that makes playing portable games a lot more enjoyable to me.

There' a ghost in the shell shootmans game?

Standard FPS or what? I like free shootmans if they're good.

E: Looks like CS:GO with a skin. Hmmm don't know if it's worth playing.

God drat I am bad at shootmans. It feels I'm stuck in molasses compared to the people I'm playing against, I get some kills every match but jesus how in the gently caress do you compete against teenagers hopped up on Monster and Red Bull? Doesn't help that my laptop has to really loving strain to get to a playable framerate, I'm sure if I could hit 60fps+ it would be a lot more playable.

Play Rising Storm 2. The overall pace is a bit slower and people who try to run around get hugely penalized.
