So, yesterday, we had a ray of sunshine, which was weird given it was april fools day. I didnt have a good joke this year and wasnt particularly motivated so I didn't bother. But yeah good day. Well, today, we get the bad day.
So it's liberation day. The day where Americans will be liberated from their money as Trump decided to tariff the everloving fudge out of the entire world. It's gonna make prices go up, especially on electronics. Seriously, hope you got what you need for the next 4 years, because this is gonna be bad.
Speaking of which, the switch 2 was announced today. And the prices are eyewatering. I didnt buy the first switch because they wanted like $200-300 with $60 games that rarely go on sale and I found that kind of insane. Not to mention I have little interest in the system outside of like the 5-10 first party games I'd play and given the cost, eh, I'd rather play on PC. Quite frankly I'm a guy of relatively limited means, i cant always afford the best and the greatest, and yeah, if switch was my MAIN console, that would be one thing, but PC gaming is my main platform, so yeah. Buying switch stuff would take away from my ability to afford what i want on PC so PC is my main platform as its basically the same as Xbox/PS these days.
The switch 2 though, they want fricking $450 for that with $80 games, $90 if you go physical, which there's no point in doing since physical games dont even use traditional cartridges but a weird system of cards that are linked to digital downloads which you can only play if you insert the card in your system. Why does this system exist? WHO KNOWS!? They could've just sold CD keys to their online store instead. This is stupid. heck the whole thing is stupid. Like, the more I look at the announcement and the specifics, the less I like about it.
Even worse, to make this entire crapshow come together like cold and hot air during a tornado warning, the tariffs might make the switch 2 even MORE expensive, where the console costs $600. This is speculation, and it's also been speculated maybe those prices INCLUDE the tariffs, but yeah, this is a dumpster fire. If you feel like god is punishing you for voting for donald trump and this is the equivalent of the frogs and the hail in the 10 plagues, you're probably right. Or maybe you just F'ed around and now you're finding out.
Either way, those of us who didnt vote for trump have to suffer this crapstorm too. I really hate this guy. Like, I never liked him, but i especially DESPISE second term him. First term, well, he sucked, we all knew he sucked, but at least he was under control. Now he's just going wild. And his policies are a disaster. And everything this guy touches is a disaster. Hopefully this is the shock therapy we need to encourage an entire generation of americans to never vote for him again. Maybe this is the second coming of herbert hoover we need to get the second coming of FDR. Who knows? Either way, the Biden economy looked great compared to this crap, yet the same people complaining about that are now cheering this guy on like a group of dumb seals.
