Considering the Switch was borderline obsolete when it was released, they are just keeping with tradition. Nintendo doesn't take risks anymore.

If you look at it by median household income it doesn't really get any better. From 2009 to 2023 it's only gone from 50k to 56k. That being said, I understand this whole thing is a bit more complicated because median income in Boston is considerably higher than that of say Albuquerque. The same is true for median home prices, but no matter how you slice it, you're probably not buying a house unless you make Boston money and live in Albuquerque.
The games that started it all for me: Mega Man 2, Earthbound
The games I've played the most: Rocket League, Starcraft
All time favorite playthroughs: Portal 2, Skyrim, Halo 3, Ghosts of Tsushima, RDR2
I couldn't get my friends or family to use Reddit either. To be honest, despite it's supposed popularity I didn't actually know a single person besides myself that was hooked on using it. I also found Reddit very difficult to figure out at first, just like Kbin, but give it time and it starts to click.
The US has loads of trains. This is a huge misnomer. The US has one of the most complex commercial-industrial train networks in the world. The problem is the commuter one uses the same tracks and is massively underfunded.
NATO has already declared it would trigger article 5.
Their valuation went from 15bil to 5bil and I fully expect it will be halved again before they, if ever, actually IPO. Reddit already wasn't worth what Spez thought it was and this whole situation is just showing investors it's worth even less if the user base can revolt in the way that it has.
That's crazy! I just paid $18 for IMAX tickets to Oppenheimer. Regular screen is like $11 here.
Consider my comment here as a rebuttal. If you want to stay on Reddit, that's OK, but I see this as an opportunity for you to be a part of doing something different.
You're not alone. People have a natural propensity to form groups and create connections with other people. Historically those connections have evolved from small and localized tribes to communities, and eventually to cities, city states, and regional/national cultures. It's in our DNA to want to be with other people, even if we joke about how we sometimes do not. We are a social species, and that quality has played a critical role in how our species developed.
We have all done this before, and we'll all do it again and again. Our interests change over time. We move to new communities. Where (and with whom) we spend time changes as we live out our lives. The way we socialize, and the people we socialize with, will change many times. The communities with which you belong never really stay the same. Change is genuinely one of the only true constants. Rather than facing it as an impediment or a loss, we can view it as an opportunity.
Change is difficult, but it can be a very good thing. Change is really the only way we grow. If we retain what's familiar and comfortable then we will never experience anything new. You're better than that. We're all better than that. This is an opportunity that is so rarely afforded to a community like ours to do something different. Don't lament on what was lost, but seize this as an opportunity. Let's make this new community everything you'd hoped the last one could be but wasn't.
This isn't a time to think about what has been lost, but the greatest of opportunities in front of us. Seize it. Seriously. The sooner we turn our other cheek on where we were and focus on where we are and where we can be, the faster this community will begin to truly emerge and transform from being quite simply a refuge for former Redditors, to whatever it is that we want to make of it. It's all about perspective. This is an opportunity for us all. Let's make something of it. Let's do it together.
Why? Just use Mastadon. I've been using it for months it's great.
