I think this settles it. If you buy a handheld console you're going in the gulag.

What’s the problem with the handheld consoles? I wanna buy Switch 2 to play duskblood when it’s came out.

You just put a target on yourself. Post safely.

[–] BanSwitch2Buyers@hexbear.net 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You have no idea what you just posted. You just unleashed the. worst. thing. you could ever possibly do.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 days ago

I hope this is the post that banned you

I see but still I don’t understand the problem? Why we’re against it?

:::spoiler explaining the joke

Well the deep lore here is that this user is doing a bit, they hop between accounts by pushing the envelope on what's acceptable on Hexbear until they get banned. Usually they say some pretty funny stuff. They're something like a Hexbear court jester, but instead of having jester's privilege, they have reincarnation.

AFAIK the genealogy here is

@BanSwitch2Buyers@hexbear.net

@generalswitch2boycott (account deleted)

(time gap here, I think there was an account I'm forgetting)

@AndJusticeForAll@hexbear.net

@DayOfDoom@hexbear.net

Waow, thank you. I missed the lore.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

TBH I think I'm missing some of the lore myself. There's more accounts I think have similar posts but I'm not sure are the same person ( @FuckYourselfEndless@hexbear.net and @BASED_BALL@hexbear.net )

TurboGrafx-16, HaruhiSuzumiya, and like a bunch more I forgot myself. Oh, EcoStalinism.

The style got a lot more distinctive more recently.

It's the armour with which I protect myself. Mostly from the mods.

Make sense. It’s a resistance against the mod tyranny

“Whilst the images used in the campaign were intended solely to highlight the contrast between the different colors available for the PSP, we recognize that the subject matter of one specific image may have caused concern in some countries not directly affected by the advertising,” Sony Computer Entertainment of Europe said in a statement at the time.

The PSP is for the bus, the Switch is for gaming in bed while your wife watches “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”

Redditor misogyny is so weird lol

Working on genderizing all the handhelds. What I got so far.

Game Boy (male, obviously)
Game Boy Pocket (pocket male)
Game Boy Light (girl)
Game Boy Color (wokegendered)
Sega Nomad (neanderthal male)
Gamegear (male)
Atari Lynx, both models (female)
TurboExpress (alpha male)
Mega Duck (chinese)
Neo Geo Pocket/Color (dude)
WonderSwan/Color/Crystal (tomboy girl)
Game Boy Advance model 1 (MTF)
GBA SP (FTM)
GBA Micro (unclassifiable)
N-Gage (woman)

PSP (bus)

PS Vita (4-boobed FtM as proved by the ads)

Also Tiger Gamecom - Furry

These look like those ads in cyberpunk 2077 that are meant to make fun of ads
