  • First time ever I’ve seen someone complain about Pokemon on lemmy. Only other time I saw Nintendo complaints was a couple of posts about Mario Kart during the Switch 2 launch.

    I’m so damn sick of the bitching about fun games I’m trying to enjoy.

    Most of us here aren’t braindead consumers who throw money at even subpar media, much less Game Freak slop. Could probably guarantee you most people on lemmy probably haven’t touched a Pokemon game since they were a kid.

    It’s like a McDonald’s Happy Meal. It’s a targeted cheap product designed to make money.
















  • A lot already have actually, writing was on the wall back when they dropped the version names which was also around the time a lot of the original Android hardware OEMs gave in which left us with carriers giving you the option between Samsung, Google, and Motorola.

    Then they abused Trump’s first term to ban Huawei for spyware since it was competing too well.

    The frontend UI sucks, the backend ART sucks, the process pausing system can’t hold most of your app views because reasons, Samsung removed OEM unlocking, Google has a stranglehold on decade old RCS with only google messages supporting such a protocol (wtf???), AOSP is functionally dead, Gapps has been eating the left side of your homepage for years, etc etc.

    I’m thinking about getting some handheld and making it into a PDA, like those upcoming DS-like consoles, and then maybe just get a pocket modem for phone/internet.
