| Topic | Is it just me, or is the Nintendo Lite really stupid, almost pointless? |
| MeIon Bread 12/30/19 10:12:47 AM #1 | I mean...it's a Switch, but instead of being able to use it on a nice big TV, and in handheld mode...you can only use it in handheld mode. This would be fine, if it was MUCH cheaper, but in the UK, it's about 25% cheaper. Wtf. Why not just save up for a bit longer, and get the regular version? I don't understand. Also, who is this being marketed to? There's at least one ad that runs in the UK, with a woman in early middle-age (complete with baby) playing it. I also feel bad for people buying it, not realising it's only used for portable gaming. Explain to me the purpose of the Nintendo Lite. Of course, it still serves more of a purpose than the Stadia will (which served almost none whatever). --- Sunhawk's main alternate account.

| Topic | There's something that confuses me about SW Episodes 1 and 2. *spoilers* |
| MeIon Bread 12/30/19 7:33:07 AM #1 | So, for most of those 2 films, there is no proper army of the Republic. I suppose they had police, private security and (obviously) the Jedi, but no actual army. The army is officially started at the end of Episode 2, even those the clones were being "bred" for a long time before that. But, if there were no soldiers, why did the Republic have a bunch of those massive destroyers? I can't remember the name, but the red and white ships. Wtf? --- Sunhawk's main alternate account.

| MeIon Bread 12/21/19 3:40:46 PM #12 | Flockaveli posted... The Pale King, also by David Foster Wallace. It's basically Infinite Jest but even more incomplete. Great book, how can you possibly say it's harder than Infinite Jest? IJ was maybe 9/10 to read, and TPK was about a 7/10. I preferred The Pale King, though.

| MeIon Bread 12/21/19 3:12:57 PM #1 | Personally, I'm not sure. Probably Infinite Jest, by David Foster Wallace. The incredible level of sophistication. Against the Day and Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon are extremely difficult reads, as well (for different reasons). The Instructions, by Adam Levin, although that's a pretty obscure book. Some of Mario Vargas Llosa's stuff. Thoughts? --- Sunhawk's main alternate account. I'm just a little bit caught in the middle, life is a maze and love is a riddle. |

| MeIon Bread 12/21/19 7:19:27 AM #1 | You should've seen him. I listened to him for maybe an hour, ranting and raving. When I was walking past, on my way home, at first he seemed like a normal street preacher, then all of a sudden I caught him saying how we don't want to hear about sin (or possibly Hell). This slightly passive-aggessive, cynical thing made me slightly worried. So, I stood and listened for a while. He talked about how we were all sinners. How ignorant and foolish we were. How we were all evil. How we were worse liars than Herod (the king who wanted to kill Jesus). How we wouldn't listen. How we worshipped the fat red men (Santa Claus). How we were perverted. How Britain is the now an evil country. How we were going to Hell. You can probably imagine. I'm pretty sure Americans have more problems with crazy public preachers than the UK does. Every so often, someone from the crowd would shake their head in disgust, make offensive hand gestures, or swear at him. Usually I disapprove of most of this behaviour, it might me laugh on this occasion. The people REALLY did not like him. Some stopped and listened for a while, One guy was filming some of it. Dreadful. I remember, at one point, the Christmas band who were very nearby starting playing music to drown him out (although he did have a microphone), and then he said that if they didn't stop playing, they wouldn't be safe. Apparently the guy representing some kind of religious website, or, at the least, he was distributing free Bibles from the site. His wife (I think) was there with him. Didn't appear to be an actual cleric, since he wasn't wearing a dog collar, just some random nutjob. Ever see anything like this? First time I've EVER seen something like this, living in Britain, although there did used to be a (nice) preacher in the same street, talking about Christianity. --- Sunhawk's main alternate account.

| Topic | Why do Star Wars fans get so excited about the "opening crawl"? |
| MeIon Bread 12/20/19 11:10:01 AM #1 | I will NEVER understand Star Wars fans, and all their bizarre things they like and dislike. The opening crawl is just exposition, so the film doesn't have to waste 10 minutes actually showing you what's going on. It's just a way of being efficient. But the fans get REALLY excited at the crawl. I mean, and I might be wrong about this (tell me if I am), but just prior to a new film's release, they try and predict what is said in the crawl, and the exact language used. The fuck?

| MeIon Bread 12/19/19 10:05:38 AM #16 | Of course, the XBox 360 and PS3, and (sort of) the Wii, lasted for 7+ years. Crazy. It was actually really cool how long they were "going" for, though, since I didn't have to splash out money on a new console. As a very long-termer gamer, though, I was shocked for a console I owned, i.e. the 360, to have a 6th and 7th year.

| Topic | Switch owners, how are you getting along with your console? |
| MeIon Bread 12/19/19 8:57:57 AM #1 | I've had mine for just under 2 years now. So far, I'd say it's a good console, but definitely not a great console. Even a very good console is a bit of a stretch. Because I've already played some of the best games on the Wii U, the new stuff is rather limited. I've got about 20 games, and only 4 or 5 are excellent games. The rest basically vary between good and dreadful. Look at garbage like VK4, or LM3. For me, a console is largely (but not entirely) defined by it's software library, and this library isn't as good as it should be. There's also the graphics, which just about match a standard XBox One or PS4, but not the souped up versions. I own about 10 consoles, and this is one of my least favourite. And this is coming from a Nintendrone! Having said that, the Switch is, of course, only just under 3 years through a 5+ year lifespan, so...we'll see. Thoughts on what I've said? Your own opinions on the console? People talk like it's a great console, potentially GOAT console after 5 years. --- Sunhawk's main alternate account.
