An Average Gamer - N

We’re headed to the weirdest game crash in history and here’s the kicker a lot won’t like: Nintendo will keep selling moving forward into 2026 like nothing’s happening, while the competition hits turbulence. Why? Even if people don’t want to admit it is because Nintendo as a whole is currently & still living in their rebound phase from their Wii U days🤷 That’s why they’ll look “unaffected” while the rest of the industry recalibrates around them. Here’s why: 1. Nintendo doesn’t play the same game as the competitors anymore They aren’t chasing photorealism, cutting-edge GPUs, or $300M AAA budgets. Their games are stylized, long-lived, and system-selling for years. Mario Kart 8 has spanned three console revisions—proof they’re insulated from the boom-and-bust cycle. 2. Competitors are trapped by cost inflation Sony, Microsoft, and big PC publishers are pouring insane budgets into games with flattening returns. One flop can cripple a studio. That’s the “weird crash” forming behind the scenes. 3. The “graphics” arms race has stalled Graphics jumps are marginal but costs keep rising. Players aren’t upgrading consoles or PCs fast enough to justify these budgets, creating layoffs, cancellations, and delays—a soft crash, not an obvious one. 4. Live-service fatigue? Yup. The market is OVER saturated. Not everyone can sustain multiple “forever-games.” Nintendo mostly avoids this trap because they focus on the PAY TO PLAY or single-player and multiplayer experiences that don’t expire. 5. Nintendo sells games to people, not hype. Nintendo’s audience isn’t chasing specs or FOMO. They buy when games are fun, not when they’re “next-gen,” insulating the company from the shakeout. 6. The crash won’t look dramatic It won’t be shelves emptying. It’ll be: •Studio closures •Fewer ambitious AAA titles •More remasters and sequels •Aggressive consolidation •Subscription cannibalization Bottom line: Nintendo will keep thriving quietly while the competition navigates the strangest, most uneven crash in gaming history.🤷

@Selerenca They will never cross it cause there’s no incentive to do so

The hurdle is only a foot high, and >99.9% of women refuse to step over it. It's not difficult. You don't have to be talented, or witty, or clever, or rich, or glamorous. Just be a nice person. That's all I ask.

This toy infested my store for months and nobody bought them lmao.

@netflix U guys really ran out of good titles and are just letting ai make them....

Office Romance premieres June 5

>Making the NES appear more like a Toy >Prioratizing the Gameboy Battery >Offering Free Games with their Console Bundles >Giving Rare DK Country >Declining the Sony Partnership (Licensing) >Green Lighting Pokemon >Giving Retro Metroid Prime >Melee >Mii >Refining Motion Controls

It's funny seeing Switch owners who were adamantly against Switch 2 suddenly cave and get one. Yeah, you was gonna get it anyway, but you needed to find something to whine about first before you kick that bread out 😏🤣

I honestly cannot stress this enough but please start living & enjoying your life. Your life is passing by daily and all you’re doing is working, paying bills, & overthinking stuff you can’t change. Start taking trips and treating yourself. Have fun with this life. You only get 1

@VikingDadWisdom @jakozloski They all look for dumb and hot 20 year old because they are like new cars

@jakozloski Welcome to Redpill 2012

The more physically attractive an older man is, the younger the woman he wants.

When 40 year old men realize that 18 year old girls like dating 18 year old boys

@unusual_whales Great saw a 480k home get dropped to 475k We’re winning

US home sellers slash asking prices as housing market weakness deepens, per Redfin

@ThatGoblinGuyXY Modern women think that success is defined by being able to pop out a loser’s baby & raise it on her own. And predatory men are realizing this faster than the grind mindset guys.

Sorry, sweetheart. You ladies were artificially pushed by the government into 52% of the workforce. You're the breadwinners now. Take some responsibility and act like it. Time to woman up and marry that guy working part time at Burger King and let him stay home and take care of the house. The same way men have been doing for women for.....eternity? I know personally, I could have all the housework you women call slavery done in under 2 hours and have the rest of my day to play video games or possibly cheat with the UPS delivery girl or door dash girl. Like you ladies have been doing for.....eternity?

@OtakuEspiritu women make up rules for guys they dont like. t

Woman: "You need to better yourself before a woman will love you." Another woman: "I dated a homeless guy." At this point, I give up. 🤣

@BrianNiemeier when i was in college these switch ups started happening year by year 1st: u can wait till your in your final year to get an intership. 2nd year: wdym you dont have an intership yet? you're falling behind 3rd: we're bringing in entrepenuership worshops. jobs are scarce

“On your own” is doing the heavy lifting there Zoomers and Millennials were told “Take on debt now for opportunity and stability later” Nobody is served by pretending every institution didn’t make those promises.

@suchnerve the people usually coming up to you to unlearn avoidence are basically predators

Not sure how to do this when avoidance keeps being proven the correct decision the vast majority of the time, which itself is a downstream consequence of disempowerment (you can’t win, so the least harmful choice is to just not play at all)

i keep telling people to stop going into those socially closed off jobs. They wont be there long term. Yes, people used sectors like tech to offset being socially awkaward but now? companies dont want them. smh.

@girlfromsouthie @GirlyScouts couldnt intervine. she realized on her own he was trying to emotionally trap her & ran.

@AnAverageGamerX @GirlyScouts Ew what a weirdo.

Old expired men are malding to death over teenage girls dating teenage boys. Nobody hates young men more than older men jealous of their youth, strength, head full of hair, tight skin, muscles, energy, and power. This is why more men are never married over 40 btw.

@bluescubes they're porn brained that say: young women are attracted to older men aktually. she aint want no youthful 20 year old she wants a beer gutted man that couldnt find a girl within his own gen

what years of watching barely legal teen porn does to a motherfucker. these kids are equally youthful looking, you’ve just conditioned yourself into being a borderline nonce

What’s astounding is there’s still multiple Switch 2 exclusives, cross-gen titles AND Switch 2 Edition DLCs not pictured here. Nintendo’s output this past year was unfathomably good, don’t let the sad YouTuber bums who only want 3D Mario and Zelda tell you otherwise.

@girlfromsouthie @GirlyScouts yup, in my last year of college. there was dude in his near 30 that out nowhere started coming to our courses acting like: im reiventing myself just to eventually hoook up with the dumbest one of our friend group who had daddy issues and piped her almost every weekend

@AnAverageGamerX @GirlyScouts The only young girl they can get is the one with sexual trauma from an old man or daddy issues and they think they can get any young girl.

Once you’ve traveled to 5+ countries, you start realizing how many “traditions” back home are just made-up social rules designed to trick younger gens. Example: everyone being forced to go to the same rundown hangout spots every weekend isn’t culture. it’s just guys being cheap
