@“exodus”#p148969 Switch is the third best selling console of all time after PS2 and DS. It passed Wii’s hardware sales worldwide after the 2021 Holiday and it passed Wii in the US specifically during the Summer of 2023.

@“yeso”#p148965 lmao he is just missing some snake bites….i wish i could find the pic of davey havok moshing to earth crisis

unironically hell yeah

@“◉◉maru”#p148970 WHOOPS. Well I was still wrong anyway but I meant switch was their second best selling console. I‘m gonna sneakily edit my post so I’m correct again (lol)

@“yeso”#p148965 sounds like a case for mods

@“exodus”#p148969 one more note: we 100% publicly know that Microsoft is at least currently working on a new console for sometime close to 2028, as leaked by the activision merger documents. so as of a year ago or so, they're still cookin on this front. lots can happen in four years though, maybe they do drop out and finally fulfill their destiny as Sega 2.

@“treefroggy”#p148986 zero results on nexusmods for “kiryu age appropriate hair” :older_man:

I feel bad for instigating that conversation– I just like thinking about that kind of stuff and hope that there are huge disruptions in our economy, society, etc. so that we can make something better. We all want to be correct– I‘m just having fun without worry of being incorrect or not since it’s all conjecture. On the scale of 50-100-200 years I'm an optimist broadly speaking.

@“yeso”#p148992 zero results on nexusmods for “kiryu age appropriate hair” :older_man:

put in a request or a bounty! it's bound to happen once they've already gotten much more appropriate and canonical mods like "_vocaloid hatsune miku over kiryru_" out of the way.

@“exodus”#p148969 Let‘s see. I think degrowth and possibly deglobalization might throw things for a loop in that sense. Maybe I’m wrong and we might be able to develop new technology that may be more affordable, but as things are right now things are looking dicey for consoles.

@“yeso”#p148965 You inflict a mortal wound upon me.

@“sabertoothalex”#p148978 You all are putting a spotlight on my East Bay hardcore era as a teenager.

@“exodus”#p148969 surely you'll just be very old in 50 years!

@“xhekros”#p148997 technology does continue to get cheaper to make, so I think that'll be okay more or less.

@"treefroggy"#p148994 don't feel bad! discussions are fun

@“HyggeState”#p148999 AFI passes for hardcore in California? I continue to have serious concerns about the music situation out there

@“yeso”#p149038 come out sometime yeso I‘ll show you what’s up

@“Video Game King”#p148826

I was up in Grand Marais last summer and wanted to live there, didn't look into the local politics though

@“sabertoothalex”#p149043 a phantom planet show?

@“yeso”#p149048 red hot chili peppers of course

@“treefroggy”#p148986 I thought you were asking a moderator to find a new bassist for AFI! I could try, but my play style is a tad more funky than that - think Billy Gould from Faith No More.

I mean I'll give it a go, but I really don't look good in mascara...

@“Tom of the Fog”#p149072 can we do a ska band instead, or hardcore ska punk like voodoo glow skulls
