my atari-st. sad day. i hope it went to a good home.
after saying i wasn't going to buy a nintendo-lite... of course i did.
i didn't go all out. i didn't buy the macintosh desktop that i thought i might... i didn't buy a gaming keyboard and mouse. i didn't buy an external monitor or display...
i brought a nintendo-lite.
so that i don't play games on my macbook. ideally. so i don't play games on my macbook. so i use my macbook for work-y stuff. learning stuff. not for playing games on it.
i've never prioritised games when it came to computers. i mean to say i've never been able to play the most recent games. i've always had to play games with the settings on low. play old games. etc. i'm not complaining. i don't mind. but it does interfere with immersions.
i've wanted a switch lite for a long time. because of the d pad and the controller built it. it seems to be better than the switch because it is the same screen resolution so the smaller sized screen translates to increased pixel density.
i am really really really really really really really looking forward to playing animal crossing and fire emblem. and elder scrolls. i really wanted a console to play elder scrolls on.. from.. when it was very first released.
i love rpg's. but i do find the turn based ones a bit boring / tedious. and i have trouble with keyboard and mouse in real time. because i don't like to sit at a desk. so the controller pad... to look around and move and aim and so on...
i'm really really looking forward to it. that's probably why i never got into world of warcraft properly and i didn't enjoy playing with people. because they were programming macros and so on and i'm not into that.
so...
i'm not going to feel bad. it's my little bit of nostolga from having an atari-st with a game-pack. just a couple (not 20 anymore) of high quality games.
it's also putting something $$ back into an industry that has provide many hours of entertainment for me... and i hope they go on to create and support content creators with the money they get from me.
go nintendo.
yay.
