Ask her if she’s boycotting the Switch 2.

Probably about video game prices once the Switch 2 game price news hits them.

Yeah, it’s like hubris mixed with group psychology (a lot of “we’s” gettin’ used) mixed with weird (over-)entitlement. Also see it be used in a semi-ableist way were people say it’ll be some autistic person who cracks it (either custom firmware or emulation) and stuff and they’ll just wait for them to do all the work for them. Like autistic people are their treat servants.

Online gamers are like this with Denuvo and video game DRM and piracy stuff too. As if piracy hasn’t gotten harder in the past 30 years and people are torrenting less and less. People used to distribute Amiga game cracks on floppies pretty openly and now you need to get a VPN or get on private trackers sometimes . We are not winning right now. We can’t even convince people to play the original Paper Mario: TTYD, a lot of people demanded it be ported to Switch before they’d replay it or try it for the first time.

I can’t remember who described social democrats as liberals in a hurry, but the US is double-fascist with the Republicans being fascist in a hurry.
