A few more consoles and Nintendo's legacy will be crappy hardware instead of Mario. I have a Wii U, i like some of their games, but the consoles since 64 are a piece of shit.

The Switch is actually a pretty well designed piece of hardware (Nvidia probably helped a lot) and positions them well going into the future. Switch 2 in 4-5 years at PS4 levels would be pretty cool to see. The market has spoken - raw power is important, but they're not the most important aspect of a console.

That Doom is even coming to Switch at all speaks volumes about the system's technical flexibility and also Nintendo's improving relationships with third parties (especially western ones.)

Or, as DigitalFoundry said themselves:

Yes, GameCube is one of the many shitty products Nintendo has made since N64.

The real :ufup part of that Nabbis post is that N64 was also a piece of shit.

Lots of weirdos upset about the Doom port on Switch. Switch is pretty much Wii U+ which itself was 360/PS3ish. Unless you're a complete idiot, why would you expect modern AAA games to run on Switch at 60 FPS?

With it's graphics, what the fuck do they expect? iD can only do so much with the engine without making it look like a PS2-era game on a Tegra.

Even if Square pulls off Voodoo magic with getting the console/PC version of FF15 on the system (instead of the chibi-rific mobile port) it's gonna be like 15-30FPS itself.

Only Rocket League, which is aiming for 60FPS for good reasons (cross-play) is the only port that is doing 60. And that's because it's not that graphically demanding.

I'm more interested in seeing how terribly the game plays with those baby controllers.

For real. I'm interested in the Rocket League port for that alone. I'm sure it's painful to play on those.

Doom on Switch is pretty cool, but it's not something I'd want to play.

Years ago when smart phones and iPod videos were coming out it was cool to me that they existed. The novelty of watching Simpsons episodes on my creative zen video was amazing. Yet for all the Gundam Seed Destiny and Code Geass episodes I loaded on it I hardly watched them. Same thing happen when I went on a trip and loaded anime unto my iPad. It was older stuff I watched, not something I hadent watched before.

Today I only use my phone and iPads multi media stuff to well read and listen to music. I wouldn't say watch wonder Women on these things or Star Wars episode VIII or even something like Logan Lucky on them. Because I rather have my experince with newer things happen on a better suited hardware. In this case something like a movie theater or my home theater set up.

That's going to kind of be my problem with 3rd party games on the Switch. I rather have those first time playthroughs on better hardware and the novelty of playing them on the go while neat doesn't appeal to me past that. With new movies or games I tend to want to give them my attention and portables I don't find are conductive of that.

I had a vita to play MGS or FFX but I played those games plenty of times so it didn't matter. I didn't have to pay attention and had already experinces them at thier best.

On the train I rather just tune out with music and read something.

The Switch is awesome but you're on dust if you think it ought to run Doom at 60fps.  30fps with good textures and AA will be impressive enough.

Much like the "haha white guy got sexually assaulted" nothing happened after it was reported and mods locked it figuring pointing out that backseat modding is not O-K but leaving the people to make fun of it unbanned.

Apparently you cant be racist or anything as long as the targeted person is white.

Quote from: Boss Moogle
I'm surprised you're asking other people to PM mods about a racist post instead of doing it yourself; I mean isn't that kinda your forte? Oh wait nvm, I get it now...


From what I read of the thread I don't think anybody here is denying that what she did was highly inappropriate for somebody in her position or that she shouldn't lose her job for it. Some are just questioning the racism aspect since the baby seems to be white (and I'm not saying 100% that it is but if I was forced to guess I would honestly guess white because of the rosy complexion) and if she should be charged with a crime (and again I'm not saying she shouldn't).

Also I think your statement is pretty disingenuous since I've seen plenty of posters try to justify or defend awful behavior from some black people, like the thread about the guy that body slammed an elderly woman on concrete at a pool party, the one about the teens that let that poor guy drown or more recently the one about rapper xxxtentacion's physical abuse scandal to name a few off the top of my head, you know, since Enzom21 is gonna want those receipts and all. And it's not just my opinion since people caught bans in those threads.

And with that Enzom21 raised his hand, pointed at the two offenders, and they were gone.

The roma situation is weird though, as I understand it they dont really want to change their lifestyle and integrate with local communities and their lifestyle leaves a wake of petty crime and littering behind them. Seems like more of a culture issue than racism. Someone described Irish travelers to me once and I left that conversation thinking they are less tan roma, as the complaints were near identical.

Not as dead as reading comprehension going by this thread!

Reading hint: the 'personally' part of his quote is why it's not really hypocritical.
The inclusion of "personally" doesn't change the meaning of his statement if it's still the isolation of his own personal history. Nice try, though.
Quote from: royalan
Quote
The difference between own personal limits and general limits. It shouldn't be that hard to understand.
"So...I won't trash (oops, "parody") my own history, but I'll trash yours. And feel free to do the same!"

I mean....
Quote from: royalan
No, the point is, it's a fairly hollow statement to make. So hollow, why make it all.

In one breath, he bashes "political correctness." The next he admits there are lines he wouldn't personally cross. He's admitting to the same limits that other people and creators are admitting to and are bashed for being PC. It's the same thing this bullshit argument always boils down to.

So...which is it?
Quote from: royalan
My position is that if Mel Brooks has limits, then he should respect the fact that other people have limits, or that they might even make the choice to be sensitive to the limits of others.

Nobody is being persecuted for their comedy, so this argument gets dangerously close to the "don't criticize me for my comedy" argument that a few comedians and irresponsible writers like to lean on.
Quote from: royalan
Quote
He has limits for what he'd perform, he may enjoy a good holocaust joke but not feel comfortable dwelling on the process of creating the joke on that topic. And if he didn't feel like hearing it then he doesn't have to. Seems like a non-issue!
Then let Mel Brooks say that.
Quote from: royalan
Mel Brooks can do what he wants.

My criticism of his personal view here is that he doesn't seem to acknowledge that other people might be operating from the same position he is, because he ties his view to such a loaded statement "PC is the death of comedy."

How about...maybe, comedy is evolving. Like it always has and will continue to. And if that means more people are being aware of the historical sensitivities of other groups, what's the big deal? That your racist joke won't be met with the same overwhelming social acceptance it once would have been?
Quote from: royalan
...what?

I don't have to give a shit about Mel Brooks. I have my own history I can draw from.
Quote from: royalan
No, I still think he's a hypocrite. I think most people who rely on the PC argument are.

Mel has the right to believe what he wants, just like all comedians have the right to tell the jokes to hey want to tell. And in both cases, I reserve the right to criticize them for it.
I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANY OF THIS BUT HE'S A HYPOCRITE AND THAT'S THE REAL CRIME HERE THAT EVERYONE SEEMS TO IGNORE :maf :maf :maf

The "personally I will not joke about the holocaust " seems to be confused with "anybody that jokes about the holocaust is in my shit list".
