General Streck: 'Very well, let me know if there is any change in his condition.

He's dead.'

Same problem. First Blood was the peak and every sequel went downhill from there. Last Blood was just terrible, especially as the final installment.

Don't watch the third instalment then. It's awful for The Expendables standards. I don't mean it's a bad franchise, it's just dumb popcorn cinema in a positive way. Sadly, Part 3 is dumb only.

Why? I changed my bank like decades ago and have a free account ever since. IIRC a 'real' credit card would cost a fee, and unlimited cash withdrawal too, but I think that's it. I don't use either.

Sorry I misunderstood. And literally followed up with a clarification so what's the problem

You mean both hands have to grip one controller opposed to having a Joycon in each hand? That split-design can be an advantage, but IMHO doesn't cancel out the shortcomings of the Joycons. I find them still too small and not grippy at all.

It's a conventional GameSir controller that has a Switch mode among others. The split design of the Joycons rarely plays out, most of the time it makes the controllers unnecessarily complex and thus expensive IMHO.

My reasonably sized, more ergonomic, multi-system wireless controller with hall effect sticks does that for a little more than half the price.

Hot take: Nintendo Switch Joycons. They're a nice and clever concept but in reality they're bad.

Too small even for casual games. The Wiimote was much better at it.

Very expensive at 80 € per set. Yes, you get two of them but in most games outside of Mario Kart you also need both. And even then they're fine at best.

4 out of 4 of my controllers got stick drift. Nintendo had to be sued into repairing them.

They compare platforms from time to time, mostly indirectly. Android gets a mention concerning OS version fragmentation.

That's it, for Apple the mere mention is already too much. Why would anyone want compatibility if they also just could buy an Apple product?

Also the reason why ipads and Vision don't support multiple users: not only should you buy an Apple product, but so do your partner, parents, kids, etc.
