"Yeah, okay," indeed. And this is coming from someone whose eyes mostly just glazed over as I scrolled past all the dozens of "nInTeNdO sWiTcH 2 dEtAiLs LeAkEd!1!1!1!" headlines that kept showing up in my Google News app thing on my phone, so I didn't know all that stuff Woolie was listing off. I also didn't care, either. Yeah, the Nintendo Switch 2 is not the thing that is going to get me to become a console (re)convert, especially if it's going to cost potentially up to five hundred USD or whatever. Also, looking forward to it being abandoned and all the servers (because if there's one that seemingly almost all modern video games absolutely require, these days, it's fucking servers) for it turned off within ten years or so.

I'm expecting it to cost even more than that honestly once trump gets his tariffs going. Given it'll cost even more than that in Canada due to the currency exchange I'd say the only way I'm getting one will be the same way I usually get a console since the PS3 - around christmas if I get a bonus from work. (Keep in mind I haven't even considered a PS5 purchase even with a bonus...)

It'll probably be a few years before you can get one from a store anyway, as I ain't paying scalpers for anything.

Yeah, I'm definitely not going to be in any rush to get one. I never got a Switch 1 either, after all (for lack of anything better to call it to differentiate it from the grossly unimaginatively named Switch 2, since saying just "Switch" now when talking about both doesn't feel right, and I don't want to have to type "the original Switch" or something every time, either).

And yeah, Trump's asinine tariffs, and the resulting trade wars, are going to make everything cost more, both abroad and, despite what Trumpanzees believe, in the US, too. All the idiots who bought into Trump's horseshit are going to be real surprised before too long, I think, when prices on a bunch of shit start soaring again, whenever the Dumbfuck's dumbfuck tariffs go into effect. Though I'm sure they'll find a way to mentally twist it all into somehow being Biden's or Harris's or Obama's or Clinton's fault, like they usually do. *eye roll* I'll stop here before rant-mode can fully engage.
