the switch
it's too big not to be a spectacle so normies would never play it portably
people in real life make fun of switch players as much as this site screams about "tendies"
it was never as bad as with the gameboy/ds/psp
Literally never once heard of a single person “making fun of switch players.” Successful married engineer here with a large social network, people are too busy and or pissed about the absolute state of inflation (and before that it was coof related shit/RTO) to give a frick about someone playing a switch. If your friends genuinely care about what people are doing on a plane at all (besides watching goycattle tik toks full volume) it’s probably because they’re all console warring children.
>NEETendo starts larping because anons make fun of his bing bing wahoo
Seethe because no one believes your gay made up console war story lol, you’re the one LARPing
A phoneposter on top of being a NEETtendo
Yikes
Agree with this anon. I've literally only seen normies use their Switch in public.
>Successful married engineer here with a large social network
please fricking dome yourself and your troony "wife" normie
Even though this guy talks like a gay he's right, there are much bigger issues on most people's minds these days to give anything than a brief passing judgment to a guy playing a switch in public. City life in general has become such a freakshow that public gaming is beyond tame, especially on public transport.
>people in real life make fun of switch players
I can tell you never go outside
Are you gonna keep samegayging until I respond or what? It's true. Right now gen alpha basically has an iPad in their hand 80% of the time they're awake. It's becoming cringe by association. A grown man sitting with a big tablet playing video games is going to come across as cringe to more people than you want to think. If you whip out a phone, psp, or even a ds it's not going to look as bad. a psp says
>I got 8 minutes with nothing to do while waiting here. Let me take out my psp and play a mission of mgs peace walker
a switch says
>I'm in public and I have 2 hours of ample time to do something more serious or productive, let me take out my switch from it's carrying case, take out the game from my games case, and sit here playing a regular video game. Oh oops! almost forgot I have to be tethered to a wall and charge at the same time!
one is a lot more grown up. there was a time when handhelds were actually marketed to random ass people who weren't even gamers
I didn't read a word of your post
Post hand
Only women and thirdies try this hard to social shame people.
I see a Switch about every where I go, especially on plane rides. You haven’t left your basement since the George Bush era to still think adults aren’t playing portables in public.
I see Switches in public all the time, kids and adults. No one cares like Ganker thinks they do.
*phones
Pretty funny how got btfo’d so hard that he’s just spamming his own posts in reply to everyone.
>see japanese tourists playing their switches
>whip out mine to join them
>beat them in smash so we play some salmon run
>we eventually beat it and they ask me what my rank is
>say "x" and do the pose like a dork
>get a bunch of "SUGOI"'s
was cute
>The switch is one of the most successful gaming systems ever
>The Steam Deck is also crazy successful
>Even Microsoft is thinking of dipping its toes into the handheld gaming market.
Cringe.
This, I can't stand playing my switch in any capacity. I did what I said I would never do and bought a mid range laptop that can play any game, even if I need to turn down settings on super-high quality games (which I haven't even had to yet). Paid like $600 for this thing. I feel more comfortable using it around people and in public anyway. You don't look lany more out of place playing games on a laptop than you would the switch. Bonus is that I can play whatever games I want for cheap or free. Not limited to the slop nintendo has begun putting out this gen.
>so btfo’d that he started replying to himself about emulation to pwn le tendies epic-style
EL EM EF AYY OH
so tell us about the imaginary girl you came up with for your larp, bingbing
Why do NPC's always say this shit when more than one person disagrees with them? Take your meds moron.
Meant for
You're not very good at this
I disagree.
>replies to himself
So nothing beyond "I am le girl" and "I have le boobs"?
Damn, playing nintendoslop really kills your imagination
>t. quentin victim
The GAME community?
>that probably-expensive enthusiast setup item
>shitty ass squeaker zoomer zogslop earbuds
Shameful
>t. gay community
It hasn't. I play my DS Lite when traveling or waiting for an appointment because it fits in my pocket and the games are built and designed for it and handheld play enjoyment in general. I never wanted a "console experience" in a handheld. If I wanted a console experience, I buy the home console.
You guys do know that backpacks are a thing, right?
There's a difference between pulling a clamshell from your pocket and pulling a slab out of your backpack. When you're out and about, that pittance of additional time makes a difference.
You shouldn’t be whipping out a gameboy while doing everyday things like going to the bank or store. Portables are for road trips, plane rides, or train rides.
Yeah not really
I’m curious, what is being “out and about” to you?
I'm mainly thinking about train or bus trips. On a plane, I just want to sleep. When I'm on public transport, it's usually peak commuting hours, packed with people, delving into a backpack to get something out is inevitably going to jostle other passengers etc.
>I'm mainly thinking about train or bus trips
If you are riding a train or bus somewhere (not public trans to your job or some other local place), then you probably have a bag with you and enough time to where it’s appropriate to play a video game. You sleeping on a plane is a personal choice, but other people pull out games, large tablets, or laptops from their bags.
Yeah not really.
handhelds are now longer pocketable and even if you can fit them in your cringe cargo pants the exposed analogs mean that they will start drifting very very fast
whenever I go on a long trip I'll bring my switch or my Steam Deck and go "I'm gonna play it the whole way there!" but I end up just listening to music the whole time
Same. Idk how many work trips I’ve been on where I’ve brought my psp and laptop and never touch them in favor of a podcast.
I'm pretty autistic so I bring my phone (that has emulators on it) thinking that will keep me occupied but I usually get lost in thought in almost any scenario instead of using it.
i go on work trips all the time and i always bring a full kb/m setup in case there are flight delays etc. Whenever I'm in the plane I always play some jrpg since it's really good for just killing a FRICK load of time. Something like FF12 or DQ6.
Otherwise I just end up watching a kdrama or something like that. Passing time on a plane is all about just coming prepared
>bring portable gaming system on trip
>"eh I don't feel like playing anything, I'll just listen to music and sleep"
>don't bring portable gaming system
>"damn I'm so bored, I wish I brought something to play"
I get motion sickness if i read while in a vehicle so im the same way.
Or i sleep. No motivation to play games or watch anything
If I need to delicately put away a handheld, it isn't the kind of portable I'm looking for.
>stuck on the midcard jobbing to LA fricking Knight
I hope my homie AJ at least has a big money contract because he deserves better
>has the honor of losing to the next stone cold
Seems to me like you're a DUMMY YEAH
The dude has a 3 mil per year deal so he's quite comfy
That means he could squeeze Tony Khan for 10mil a year, nice
Dude, he stayed BECAUSE the fed offered him 3 mil
>midcard
he literally has a match next week for #1 contendership for the world title
Too bad he's probably gonna lose again since AJ is about to retire.
Dude is about to retire soon
Phones killed portable game consoles forever, because now people are conditioned to refuse to pay for phone games unless they're microtransaction-laden trash. The Switch and Steam Deck are handhelds, not "portable", in the same way Nintendo said a Gamecube is portable because it had a handle. If I still need to drag a power cord with me to charge it, and a dock if I want to set it up on my little cousin's TV, that's not fricking portable, I might as well just bring my PS4/5.
All that being said the dude in the picture looks like he's going on a long-range trip of several hours. If that's the case I don't see the problem with setting up and getting comfortable for a long haul on a plane. If you're on a bus or the subway going to work for !25 minutes you don't need to carry around a separate game console or Steam Deck.
As soon as I could emulate PSP on my phone.
>Successful married engineer here with a large social network,
Sure thing captain samegay
So that larp of yours, is it someone you know? Like your older brother or something?
Post your hand
The switch isn't really portable nor is the deck
Some companies tried to keep supporting the 3DS but we've reached a point where its hardware is more of an annoyance than anything
The Vita came out expecting you to waste money on a proprietary card that's only useful on sony devices
>NOOOOOOOOOO YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO THINK I'M COOL LIKE ABIB SAYS I AM
do neetendies really?
if i saw this nerd on the bus i'd not stop staring. not like the little pussy would look me in the eye anyway
Are you an actual 60+ year old boomer? Old fricks are always gawping at everyone.

>weed is being legalized across the country
but at what cost?
I miss him bros……
The only console making any money out there is a handheld. PC has just entered a UMPC golden age.
when cell phones
I can't wait till they give the title to Punk, then he has a match with Big Bible AJ and he gets injured again
>implying he won't have another melty in the next 6 months and walk out
it's alive and well
hes gonna crash that plane
>that attended turn around
OH FRICK
It didnt, people still play games portable, just on their phone.
Phones. 99% of the market for portable consoles were people on commutes and children. And neither care if the game is really in depth and original or high quality. They just want something dumb and fun. Phone games do that well enough and they have 100 other uses as well, so why own a handheld? It makes no sense for most people.
I still bring my psp for flights or long bus rides. I usually play something arcade like Panel de Pon or Sanvein.
Based. I still bring my PSP around too. I even took it to Japan last year and bought some cheap japanese games for it. Lumines is the ultimate time killer.
>buying games for the psp
why are zoomers like this
I'm 32 and I played a lot of a pirated copy of Monster Hunter Portable 3rd a lot in 2012 so I thought owning a copy would be nice
>larping NEETendo samegayging now
>AJ had that thing the entire time he was touring Japan with no issues
>comes to the states and it gets stolen instantly
I think about that a lot
Post the vending machine
I think there was a time where you might have been looked at weird if you were playing game in public if you werent a child. But now everyone around me, me included, is going through some form of arrested development. If you dont stink and look grotesque, i feel like theres an ok chance someone might come up and ask what youre playing.
both the switch and the Steam Deck are fricking huge and as far as im aware, have non replaceable batteries. A friend of mines gf has one and it looks like a burden to take care of if you want to take it anywhere other than a car ride.
When puzzles and platformers weren’t enough and people started to need Skyrim: Hyper Modded Edition with Extra Large Horse Penises.
What is the point of these banal threads declaring something dead when it still exists?
>NEETceldo still in denial
>nINCELdo lashing out against women(who don't sleep with him for having a switch) and minorities(who steal his switch)
The moment when phones become just straight better hardware than the cheap chink low spec shovelware homosexual companies like cucktendo or soïny shitted onto their coomsumers
What are you talking about, every grandma plays on a smartphone.
When phones became mini computers.
My friends and I all brought our Switches to Vegas. Took a pic on the plane specifically piss off that one obsessed latinx
>not pictured, his alleged friends
Is that on that ferris wheel on the strip?
Yeah High Roller
>no girls
it's over
Wives and gfs weren't invited
OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NONONO NO SWITCHCELS WE HAVE NO FRIENDS
>match 28th
Makes you wonder what homosexual little concert or porn convention they went to
>as long as i bring this suitcase i will remain pussyfree
women don't give a FRICK what you do lol.. they care about personality
Switch. It doesn't fit in your pocket, it's clunky to handle, the battery life is dismal, the controllers are awkward, the games are more oriented toward longer sessions, you have a phone.
Cool, still bringing my switch however
You weren't being told not to, Mongoloid.
That's fine.
>I'll inconvenience myself because I love daddy nintendo
how is having a backpack inconvenient? If I’m going on a work trip, I likely will have a backpack with my computer, work materials, and I can put my switch inside. If I’m going on a road trip where I’m not driving, I can put it in my backpack where my toiletries, clothes, and other items are. Very simple…unless you are such a manchild that you need to have a pocket-sizes gaming device with you just to go down the street to a store.
I see, no argument.
Yeah these NEETs don't fly. Tickets always come with a free carry on so if you not bringing a side bag for the flight then you're just stuffing your pockets with uncomfortable bulk
My OLED lasted for over 3 hours on a flight before I needed to start charging while I was playing Nier. The new switch models do pretty well with battery life. If you are regularly playing somewhere longer than 3 hours without being able to charge, then you’re the one percent of players.
Never died, just left you behind.
Man, ninceldos get really defensive when you tell them people(specially women) snicker behind their backs for bingbingwahooing in public
Im a femanon and i use my switch while waiting at the drs office. You will never be a woman nor will you know how women think. Your mind has been demoralized by this place
it's dead in the sense that we aren't buying a specific handheld console to play vidya exclusively anymore
people are playing vidya on their phones primarily now
mobile gaming has the largest market, billions (not an exaggeration) of people playing gacha shit and candy crush
It’s not dead in that sense at all. Phone gaming is an adjacent ecosystem that doesn’t really cross over into the traditional handheld gaming ecosystem. The number of people playing Switch is very high, especially when you look at handheld sales of the past. The people playing phone games for the most part were not playing Gameboy or PSP.
>grown ass men in 2024 using a backpack
>making life harder on yourself because a toy company you hate has a successful toy
Would I preserve my masculinity by carrying my Switch in a briefcase?
You clearly aren’t making above $30,000 a year to think that this is an own lol.
Not even LARPing, lol. You’ve probably never even walked into an airport to make this comment.
>not using your free carry on because Nintendo fans also use them
Zoomers are bringing back fanny packs for their drug induced edm concerts.

What do you want a picture of my switch between my breasts? Holy frick you homosexuals are desperate.
I mean, if you were really a femanon, you would know the rules.
I know the rules but im currently busy talking with my israeli accountant about retirement savings
will you marry me? I'm a broke NEET but I'm 6'1
No. Im only interested in men who can do mongolian throat singing.
Just because you're a loser doesn't mean everyone else is.
Maybe stop asking questions you don't want the answer to, latinx
>latinx mad at whites because they like a toy that never came to his country
They build Legos and then consider themselves engineers, the word has no meaning these days
funnily enough I have a friend who just got a degree in engineering and that dude fricking loves legos

Portable gaming died with the creation of this image.

what is this a train? that's a lot of leg room and those windows are huge
It died with the death of the 3DS (and Vita, though that was earlier). Chinkhelds don’t count.
do you guys not have phones?
Is there anything more hilarious than a pouting snoy?
Funny how "the girl" suddenly shut the frick up
Almost like her, the engineer and mr united airlines economy seats are just the same tendie larping as different characters

Sure.
Let me remind you, I still haven’t received an actual rebuttal to
and
Explain how having a gaming device in a backpack while you’re away from how longer than just going down the street is “inconvenient.”
Explain how middle class earners ($40k - $120k) are actually not wearing backpacks on work trips.
Are you moronic?
I think people are just naturally not seeking your validation
>people
just because you give them different names doesn't mean they're real, tendie
Just so we're clear, when people say snoys are hated on Ganker, you and your relentless obsession is like 30% of that reason. You're all extremely petty or autistic and need to grow the frick up. There's more to life than getting anally fricked by Nintendo fans hourly.
You're the only one who gave us names, relentless aspie poster
>mr united airlines economy seats

THEY DON'T WANT NONE

I got a laugh when the eric spammer started getting banned. When even ABIB turns you know your time is up.
No amount of gaslighting wins this board back for you
OH NO NO NO NONO NONO NONO NO NONO NO
Sure.
why do bingbings do the "I'm le white" thing?
To troll snoys who are all thirdies

>All these homie complaint about inconvenience
>Not rocking a side bag when go out.
Clearly manchild basement dwellers.
What portable/handheld console is ideal for the gamer who hates the switch, hates the steam deck, hates Nintendo, hates valve, and wants an anti-steam and anti-switch console in everything?
>I HATE things
Cool personality bro
woah
perfect bingtendie wojak
Average nintendo user
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAYO WAS A QUEER ICON, WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S A FILTHY BREEDER?
I hate PC gaming (and I also hate Steam and that moron Gabe Newell) and I also hate Nintendo a lot.
That's why I want an anti-Steam console, and anti-Nintendo in everything
>anti steam
You own the games on it
>anti nintendo
Better hardware than a fisher price tablet, can emulate

the average switch owner is inherently dishonest and morally bankrupt
That's a given.
Hey samegay, respond with an actual answer to
instead of pretending it doesn’t exist.
The moment they keep making portable devices more powerful yet the battery technology is 400.000.000 fricking years old and never tries to innovate
>white culture is trannies
Yes, we know
switch is the most successful console of all time
It's short of 160 million PS2s.
switch more like b***h heheheh
Oh you just gotta love Big Bible AJ! You just gotta!

It cant be overstated enough how badly the xbone bungled not only its announcement, but it's entire launch. I don't think there was even a plan in place to fix it until Mattick left

I like my steam deck
