Nintendo is a scam

Everything costs way too much.

Becomes obsolete too soon.

You don’t own the literal hardware you buy from them.

Everything is an upcharge.

Price-quality ratio is ass.

Borrowed a game from the library

I have a Nintendo Switch Lite. It’s one of those things that sits in the back of my closet and mind, collecting dust and financial guilt.

I thought about getting Picofly installed, to buy some freedom with this thing, but investing an additional 90€ feels stupid at this point.

So I decided to borrow some Switch games from the public library.

Try to get some value out of the thing…

This game is fun, beautiful, cute, peaceful, green, and took me about 3 hours to 100%.

Game philosophies I agree with:

• Parks are bad, wilderness is good
• Rules are bad
• Cops are bad
• Eco-terrorism is how you beat the game (destroy a dam)
• Vandalize parks - return them to nature
• Teamwork makes the dream work
• Signs are to be destroyed
  • No touching your surroundings
  • No camping
  • No music
  • No pipe smoking
  • No campfires
  • No looking/viewing
  • No boots
• Theater is more powerful than just as entertainment

Fun Report

It was really fun and relaxing to play, but I’m glad I didn’t spend money on it, since it only lasted a few hours.

Lesson learned: borrowing games from the library is the only way to get return on investment for the Switch.
