>>748661694The Biden Administration really fucked over Americans
>>748661694The economy
>>748661694You were born.
>>748661694>Only ~$130 in 2026 buxFor what you get that's not bad actually
>>748661694gba had gamesshitch poo has no games
>>748661694Erm, chuddie? Sweatie? Don't you know 70 dollars in 2002 is equal to 2000000 dollars in the current year? Quit complaining and just consoom the product.

>>748661694Things never got cheaperAnything beyond a gba will still cost a shitload of money to make
>>748661694do you know what the federal reserve is?>>748661757yes but it goes much further back
>>748662226None of them got me interested

>>748661694Why are you comparing the price of a handheld to a console
>>748662449The GBA didn't even have backlight
Blame AI
>>748661694The fall of the Soviet Union doomed us all, it was necessary counterbalance that no longer exists.
>>748662449Every nintendo handheld until 3ds is basically a toy.
>>748661694why are you comparing a literal handheld...to a home console that you were marketed to think can be a handheld?
>>748661694Nothing. Switch 2 is tens of thousands of times more powerful than a GBA. Same performance as a PS4.Way better value. But still a POS.Get a portable PC or a phone and use phone to play PC remotely.Stay away from consoles. They are dust collectors. They have no games. And can't be used as PCs.
>>748661757
>>748661694>AI is making all electronics more expensive>The war in Iran is making helium and there for chips more expensive. not to mention transport cost go up.Also one is a hand held with a shit screen that wasn't even backlite and one is a full console.
are there any chinkhelds with similar performance to the switch 2?
>>748662519Kill yourself, jew
>>748662695Modern China has more power than the soviets could dream of
>>748662764gba came out at the same time as 9/11. geopolitical risk is nothing new
>>748662826No it doesn't, and even if it did it isn't the hegemonic threat to the US capitalist world order the way they were, they are just a different kind of business man.
>>748662826The Soviet union was willing to fund every liberation movement worldwide, which china after mao wrote off internationalism as a waste of resources, not that they where good at it after the vietnam war ended considering the khmer rouge
>>748662308How exactly would you go about fixing a grossly over-inflated currency?Best i could think of was reinforcing the petrodollar and exporting more, thus increasing the demand for other countries to procure USD.
>>748663072not starting a forever war with iran?
>>748661694saw the top of the image and immediately screamed SOUL. fuck nintendo for giving into realistic graphics and games that don't deserve their MSRP
>>748661694GBA games were mostly shit, portable nintendo peaked with DS
>>748663072I think starting an unwinnable war with Iran would do it, surely won't have any negative economic effects at all
>>748662990colonialism is le good when the wholesome communists do it or something
>>748663072bring back the gold standard
>>748661757*chefs kiss*
>>748662990the Khmer Rouge was funded by the US/China and overthrown by the Soviet+Vietnamese
>>748663146>realistic graphicsaka graphics on par with games from 20 years ago
>>748662887>they are just a different kind of business manthe thing is that the Western countries aren't playing like business men and act based on retarded ideologies like USSR did
>>748662382You're not the target demo anymore old man.
>>748663248The whole reason they have DLSS is because people realized the PS3 had better graphics than the PS5
>>748663187It's that simple. The jude would never however.
>>748663248no, I'm talking about whatever garbage Nintendo is using for StarFox and now oot
>>748662880Oil prices didn't get high until well into the Iraq war years later and globally it's never been this bad because during the Iraq war Iran and the other Gulf states opened the oil taps and the strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab Strait were open. Local oil companies in North America pumped less oil because the Gulf states started cutting prices and flooding the world market to gain market share, which made US oil prices higher then if they were making more oil domestically.
>>748661694>Need batteries >Can't play it in the dark $70 is a ripoff
>>748661694This is the worst comparison ever
>>748661694$70 in 2002 is $130 in 2026, and it was far cry from anything else in the market. PS2 was $299 in 2000 and $199 in 2002. It's about $548 down to $365.GBA's $130 to PS2's $365/548 is a huge gap about 180-320% increase. And it's justified because of the gap in tech and performance. Switch 2 is pretty capable for the price / performance slotted against the other consoles' price/performance.
>>748663072not giving all money to jews and not giving king jew his ass to plap
>>748661694>Handheld>Console with handheld peripheralsRetard. Compare it with the Gamecube at least.
>>748661694Apparently that is $127.73 in today's dollars
>>748663432adjusted for inflation it was way worse in 2008. average prices per gallon were $4.16 which is the equivalent of $6.47 today. despite that the ds lite price was $129.99 which is the equivalent of $200 today. nintendo is just ran by greedy greedy jews ever since iwata died and their pathetic fanbase will pay whatever they ask so it doesn't matter.I'm sure nintendo was selling those consoles at cost in 2008 and their isn't any reason they couldn't do the same today other than the fact that consumers are stupider nowadays.
Redditors decided to support corpos
>>748663642Worm lights and battery packs were a thing even in 2002.
>>748661694Nintendo canibalized portable and home console audience
>>748663894>Bro just buy extra stuff Nah fuck off
>>748663957Switch Poo needs a screen protector and carry case if you want to take it anywhere. Back-up charger too.
>>748664226and an annual subscription to play online. that was free on ds
>>748664279And it sucked and was open to hackers using action replay.I was there.
>>748662670Which handheld console had backlight in 2002?
>>748663072Not spending the first year of the term filling every agency with jeets, talking about how much better jeets are than Americans, then importing 100 morbillion jeets would have been a pretty smart start. Not jacking the money printer up to 12 to keep the AI market companies that are excessively leveraged in foreign economies afloat would have been a smart second starting point.

>>748661694what do you answer to these people? obviously OP is smart enough to know why , people know he is kidding as well but still this thread gets a tons of responses? what is this thread even about?
>>748661694They're not quite the same category. The Switch 2 is more powerful and has a much bigger screen. Then again, in a way that makes it WORSE as a portable system, you can't just carry that mammoth in your pocket. Same goes for the Steam 'eck and other PC handhelds. The true modern equivalents to the GBA are chinkhelds.
>>748663894S O U L
>>748661757I like how you actually have Biden supporters on this website getting mad at this. 4chan helped get Trump in particular elected back in 2016 but even besides the meme wars, only old people and social media using normies support his opposition.
>>7486699544chan in 2016 got colonized by literal redditors who supported trump because their subreddit got banned
>>748661694Greed and stupidity.
>>748661757The switch was 450 before the tariffs increased it to 500. It probably would've been cheaper before the tariffs.
>>748663137>>748663178Nigga they're already begging for a deal. Besides, taking total control of Iran would reinforce the petro dollar by giving the US access to even more oil, but i doubt that would ever happen to such an extent. As they are now, they're in a state of collapse, fracturing and fighting amongst each other. That's why the current strategy being conducted by gayboy treasurer Bessent is to accelerate that collapse via economic strangulation.>>748664707None of this even happened. They've been trashing H1Bs hard as of late. They literally made it so you can report companies for hiring jeets on one of their .gov websites.
>>748661694Tiny hats. They debased our currency through central banks and fiat. It's like the modern version of coin clipping on turbo AIDS.
>>748662721The 3DS is a poorly made piece of shit. The hinges break just from regular use. The OG gameboy survived literal battlefields.
Not that I disagree with what you're saying, but this is a bad comparison.
>>748670145>>748670150Fiat currency is ultimately just a scam to cut wages without workers noticing. The elites are all asset holders, so they're not losing any real money.That's why they supported the democrats for years. Because all those federally-funded programs would require them to print money, thus making labor cheaper.
>>748667395I like the Chinese handhelds but someone with some level of clout maybe valve should make a new handheld with similar specs to the low end China handhelds I.e the specs of the worst new phone you can buy a 5.5" screen and a well developed ecosystem.I never really saw the appeal of trying to play PC/current gen console games but worse on the switch or steam deck
>>748670143Lmao they’ve been “begging for a deal” since March according to the reality tv president. Earnest trump supporters are the most cucked retards in the country.
>>748663642>Can't play it in the darkNigga that hasn't been an excuse for a decade or more, I modded my gba recently with an ips screen
>>748661694The money lost most of its value
>>748670143you can't seriously fucking believe that shit? holy fucking brainrot
>>748670794The bezels on the GBA look so retarded in the current day, the screen could be almost an inch larger without changing the size of the device
>>748661757The orange Zion daddy did more damage to America than Bush, Boden,Obama combined ever could Even sleepy Joe had enough brain cells to not bring America into a war just for the sake of the Jews
>>748670323Why is it a bad comparison? Both are just what handheld games would look like in their respective years.
>>748661694One is a product with technology that hadn't been inflated out of the wazoo, uses battery, has no back light, reads at best like 20mb (i'm pulling it out of my ass, i don't know the exact quantity), with a mediocre speaker, and cheaply made.The other is a product that uses current technology in a highly unstable market, has a lot of features (and some useless ones) that increase the price, cost of lithium isn't getting any better for the batteries, can connect to the internet, has several sensors, etc etc.While a root might be in global politics, 2008, and past and current administrations, it's also technology you gotta account for.
>>748671171>current technology>an LCD screen that ghosts as much as mid 2000s pc monitors
>>748670659>>748670909Can you disprove me?Show me a healthy Iran, not in a state of economic collapse and not pleading for the US to provide them relief.
>>748671171This is why someone should make a new low spec device with a proper ecosystem, even with current prices of everything a shitty quad core arm soc and 2GB DDR3 doesn't cost anything
>>748670848And (((WHO))) could be responsible for that?
>>748670978Yeah technology improves with time anon
>>748663642>>748670794GBA SP was better anyway
>>748671827After the IPS mod not really, you need an adapter to use headphones and the ergonomics are worse.
>>748661694Turns out we've been overpaying for this shit for three decades.
>>748663072For starters>Don't fuck up all diplomatic and trade relationships>Don't threaten nonstop with tariffs>Don't threaten your closest allies with military jesus fucking christ what's wrong with you?>Stop giving all money to Israel's wars>Don't fund AIslop datacenter shit>Don't start war with IranThat's a starter. Now Canada is doing more trade with China, because Xi acts like an adult and doesn't threaten them with shit like "being next US state".Europe is going more independent... And working with China because you simply cannot trust Trump and general American population who voted for him and stands behind his decisions, from threatening Denmark/Greenland to Iran war.Those things might affect the economy. Also seriously the funding of AIslop and the amount of money the economy in general has put on AI is bigger than USAs yearly military budget.

>>748672069>Don't fuck up all diplomatic and trade relationships>Don't threaten nonstop with tariffsWhole point of that is to force companies to build in America, instead of outsourcing to China.>Don't start war with IranWhole point of that is to cut China off from cheap oil.>That's a starter. Now Canada is doing more trade with China, because Xi acts like an adult and doesn't threaten them with shit like "being next US state".And you've revealed yourself to be a China shill. Even Xi already knows it's useless to resist. Hence him going full MAGA during his Whitehouse visit.
>>748661694Inflation and greed
>>748672015Those game prices are insanely expensive relative to modern pricing. A whopper was 99 cents back then. You could get 3 McDonald's cheeseburgers for a dollar. A whopper is $8 now and McBurgers are $2.99.
>>748672652>Whole point of that is to cut China off from cheap oil.whole point is neocons being obsessed with a war on iran for 25 years, way before china was seen as a strategic threat
>>748672652You are a perfect example of American education and how people have no money over there to get professional help for mental health issues.
>>748672554Ya, money printer sure did go "brrrrrrr".
>>748672748Then why only go after them now? After having just taken down China's other biggest cheap oil provider, Venezuela. That and now with the US blockading Hormuz, it's clear Trump wants control over China's oil intake.
>>748672775Can you address the actual listed points instead of engaging in ad hominem? Because otherwise i'll take this post as a concession.
>>748661694You can buy a $100 handheld that will emulate all games up to sixth gen consoles.
>>748672931The US is literally selling oil and diesel to them lol
>>748672931And fucks up every diplomatic and trade ally at the same time.You Americans are evil and mentally ill orcs who sees violence as only option. Fucking sucks that food prices here hike up because of your retarded wars. I hope Americans just die, worthless cattle.
>>748672554Zirp was the reason the lockdowns and inflation happened
>>748672981Yes, now we're profiting off-them. We're controlling their intake as planned.>>748673014I'm sorry that you're from a worse country.
>>748671491It's a (((mistery))) we never (((know)))
>>748670490Maybe they will, considering Steam already supports ARM.

>>748670143>the war will end in 2 more weeks!
I used to think americans and US in general were cool but they are just violent, greedy, selfish, and rude. Ready to kill millions just to give money to the richest 0.01% and Israel.
