You’ve found a way to sum up how I feel. I haven’t been able to put it in words, but the place definitely has a different vibe post-ressurection

That’s not to say I’m not happy to see more activity. I just miss the “fantasy retro” computers

Well you try one way, and then if that doesn’t work, you roll over, and if that doesn’t work then rolling over again should do the trick

Just start WWIII with Canada on a whim.

I live in Canada, please don’t. It’s challenging enough being a neighbour to the US in this political climate, being a vassal would be so much worse.

I’m queer as heck, so if I’m not killed in action it’ll be the camps for me.

Of course, if I am killed in action then I won’t have to worry about how interesting life is getting anymore. Gotta keep an eye out for those silver linings.

I’ve been thinking lately that it would be great if my life was less interesting.

Finally a community to live vicariously through

Oh yeah, and if you want any online services, you’ll want to look up what those cost. I don’t know if they offer a family discount for multiple accounts

I guess ultimately it depends on what kind of games your family likes

As you mention, party games you only need one. If your family’s into single player or portables then each person needs one

How is it affordable? Well, it isn’t really. Although I guess a switch probably retails for about half the cost of a PS5

It’s funny though, if you compare it to other consoles, I think people are far less likely to buy an Xbox or Playstation for each family member. And yet, people would do that for the gameboy and DS without batting an eye. The switch is trying to be everything, for better or worse.

When we got ours, we were pretty content having just one and then playing party games or taking turns on single player games. Sooner or later though, we had to get another so we could play pokemon together. Which is a shame because my interest in pokemon seems to have suddenly fallen off a cliff and now my switch is collecting dust

So I guess all that to say: your mileage may vary
