Desire Is The Source Of Suffering And How It Relates To Nintendo Switch

Although Teal Swan, the Spiritual Catalyst says there's nothing wrong with desire, I've always thought that desire was one of the prime sources of suffering. Unless you receive that which you desire so much, you will suffer. Also, even if you receive that which you have desired, it is highly likely that you will desire something anew and repeat this cycle of suffering. How does this relate to Nintendo Switch?

Many of us in #TeamAMD suffered because we wanted a powerful, dedicated home-console, but we instead got a hybrid that was a compromise between portable and home-console. Throughout the lifespan of Wii U, I wanted AAA third-party support on-par with what Microsoft and Sony got.

As a Nintendo-fan, I still remember when Nintendo was proud and tried to compete. I want that Nintendo to come back. Now, I feel like they are cowering with their tails between their legs, and not being the men and women they could truly be, content on being a niche company.

I do not predict NS to do exceedingly well. I feel it will sell 50 million units total, but it won't be as successful at 3DS. Why? It will be more expensive, and have less appeal to children. It is a little too big and it's unappealing aesthetically.

How does a gamer that is primarily a Nintendo-fan survive in this harsh landscape? By eschewing desire. You know when the latest AAA-game on everything but a Nintendo-system comes out? Either ignore it, or just buy it on another platform. There's no point in hoping that it comes to the current Nintendo-platform because it probably won't happen. I wasted three years of my life hoping in vain, buying games I didn't want, in the possibility that third-parties would port their games to Wii U. It didn't happen. I'm done with it. I don't care anymore. I don't want anymore.

It's a passive way to live, but it probably is the most serene and sane. Let go of desire, and maybe what you get may become what you want.

White Japanese Sega Saturn 3D Control Pad (Controller) Review HSS-0137

Image
As a recently new Sega Saturn owner, I knew I had to get the Sega Saturn 3D Control Pad because it was the definitive controller for playing Nights Into Dreams. I decided to purchase the more aesthetically-pleasing Japanese version. Upon first inspection, it is noticeably big - bigger than it should be. Sega was probably going for form over function here, because the round shape does look like a mini-spaceship or UFO, which goes with their theme of space with the Saturn itself, but it is not the most ergonomically comfortable controller out there. For example, when playing six-button fighting-games, it is difficult to hold the controller in the left hand and 'piano' the buttons with the right. The d-pad is a little different from the American Model 1 and Japanese Model 2 controllers'. It feels a little stiffer. Of the three controllers I have tried, it has my least favorite d-pad. On the plus-side, however, it features the best start-button of the three.

"Retrotek SCART to Component Converter" Review (SCBV1P3)

Image
I do not like spreading negativity out there, but I needed to warn people about this device. I bought this for 80 dollars on ebay; I'm not gonna link from whom, because he or she does not deserve more sales of this awful device. When it works, it works, albeit with flaws. The image produced is sharp, as a component-video signal should be, and the colors are accurate, except that there is a green tint to the entire picture. I've read that one has to open these things up and adjust the 'pots' inside (an electrical term) with a screwdriver. I never really tried doing that or minded the green tint too much, because it's very subtle. What I did mind a lot, was the fact that sometimes, it won't work, and I'll only get audio. This is a big problem. I wouldn't mind the colors being a little off, or there being some 'noise' in the video-signal, but when the success-rate of the thing actually working is 50%, it's a deal-breaker. I paid 80 dolla

Japanese Model 2 Sega Saturn Controller Review HSS-0101

Image
Recently, I bought a Model 2 American Sega Saturn, but it came with a Model 1 controller. It was pretty good, but I liked the look of the Model 2 Japanese controller, and the d-pad seemed more comfortable. After ordering one on ebay, and opening the package I later received, I was taken aback at how 'creamy' the controller looked. It didn't look like it had changed color, like old NESes, but it didn't look as white as I had imagined. Even the photo above looks whiter than it actually is. The d-pad is better than the Model 1's, but not by too much. The face-buttons feel the same, but the Start-button is a big improvement. The biggest improvement comes in the form of the shoulder-buttons. I don't think the actual internal switches have changed, but now you don't have to press the buttons on the rear of its plastic-shell to get them to actuate. In general, they feel and sound like mouse-buttons. You won't want to use them in action-games, but f
