  • 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





  • At what point do you think it becomes ethical to break the law for the greater good?

    I don’t like the idea of destroying ballots either. It’s so undemocratic. It’s a shame that other actors don’t have scruples about it though.

    Is it truly better to wait for the fascists to come to power before we resist them? It seems that would allow them to enact much more harm.

    Anyway, I don’t endorse destroying ballots. But I do understand why people would be so disenfranchised with a system that’s working against the individuals that they would feel compelled to take some sort of action.





  • You can be narcissistic and still like cats. It’ll give you both something to bond over.

    But for real, there are people who keep their cats on vegan diets because their beliefs are more important than their pets’ health.

    There’s also people who insist that you shouldn’t spay/neuter your cat and still let them outside to roam free. That might not technically be narcissistic, but cats have a tremendous negative impact on the ecosystem, and feral cats suffer greatly in the wild.

    All that said, I love my fuzzballs. They stay indoors, both for their protection and the local wildlife.
