to be fair, you should know what to expect if you post a potentially very flammable article on a circlejerk/support topic. look what happened every time liberal fake news was posted in the DJ Annoying Orange megathread.
it would have been more clear if you put down using neutral wording your stance/what kind of point you were trying to make when posting the article, rather than dumping some gasoline on the floor and wait for people to light it on fire before responding/stating your stance

Silly me I thought the thread was about discussing an upcoming console. Not sucking Nintendos rooster.

sorry for the ninja edit screwing your response up, but i guess the point is you didn't add to a discussion, you just dropped an unmarked bomb into the topic and wait for people to blow themselves up with it and then attempt to state how stupid they are for not realizing its a bomb.
aka the reverse of tony's strategy: dropping an inflammatory article and letting people stuff themselves over it then taking the opportunity to call them stupid. is it a circlejerk to respond to the article stating "well that makes sense because the switch is not meant to be powerful" etc etc?

Incredibly, looks like other people in the thread are having fun. Does that mean they're all wrong, or that possibly you are?
--- Quote from: beachbum111111 on January 26, 2017, 04:12:22 AM ---No McJob. I post an article about something happening with, lets say, the Switch, and then handicaps like you and Insert defend it like it's your loving love child instead of looking at it with a loving shred of objectivity.

Ignore Insert and focus on me. At what point in the Switch debates did I ever present anything that wasn't an objective argument? Every single point I've made that was directed against something you said has been based on easy to find facts. I told you exactly why networking exists. I told you why the cost of the console seems high. I told you why the device is relatively underpowered compared to actual, static consoles. You're not listening to anything I say, though.

Why would I say that? When have I ever said I only want the Switch for third party titles? I couldn't give two tosses if it's completely only first-party games. It's nice we're getting Skyim, but if other third parties don't want to do it, they don't want to do it. Doesn't stop the console itself from being an interesting piece of hardware.
--- Quote from: beachbum111111 on January 26, 2017, 04:12:22 AM ---Not "HURRR ITZ MOBILE CONSOLE NINTENDO DID NOTING RONG" You friends always immediately jump to the defense of Nintendo in that thread to the point where it's become a massive circle jerk between you friends.

At this point you've just lost me. I deal in the business of facts when it comes to games and game development. I haven't seen anything wrong with the console. Maybe it's because I have a well paying job so I can easily afford everything. Maybe it's because I'm a game developer with interest of publishing to the system. Maybe it's because I've actually touched it, played on it and talked about it with people who know more than me.
--- Quote from: beachbum111111 on January 26, 2017, 04:12:22 AM ---Neither is you saying "I have information no one else knows about Nintendo which will make the console amazing". I hope to god you are right because if your not the console is going to be stuff at this point.

Was never intended to be aimed at you as a serious argument. That was something for the people interested to let them know that there's more to come. Sorry if you saw it differently than that.

Considering that the majority of the posts beforehand are circlejerking over comments about the switch and how "wrong" they are I thought I would bring in something thats actually relevant. It's more of a "hey theres some information regarding the Switch. What are your thoughts on this"? I shouldn't have to write that since when I link something it generally implies that
