and as for the Vita, I like it even though both of those things are true
it's a fantastic system but Sony just hasn't given it enough of a differentiation factor to warrant getting it over a 3DS, though I'm hoping stuff like Tearaway and the PS4 connectivity might be the beginnings of change for it
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
The main problems with the Vita are a) most the games are ports/multi-platform, and b) The ludicrous price of the console and the memory cards. (Goddamn proprietary hardware.) It just adds up to make it a less than enticing proposition.
Vita exclusive games I can name:
Gravity Rush Soul Sacrifice Ys: Memories of Celceta (technically a remake, but it's different enough that I'll let that one slide.)
Hey, I saw that baby deer again, with its herd yesterday, walking home from school. It's amazing how skinny mommy deer actually is; and I think it's pretty cool that the daddy deer pulls down branches for the other deer to chew on because he's the tallest.
WHEN HULK WATCHES A HOMELESS PERSON ON THE STREET WHO IS SAD, HULK GETS SAD TOO. IT'S HARD NOT TO, RIGHT? THAT HOMELESS PERSON IS A PERSON TOO AND THEY ARE SUFFERING AND IT WOULD TAKE THE LEAST GRACIOUS AND THE COLDEST AMONG US NOT TO FEEL AT LEAST SOMETHING FOR THEM. BUT STILL, THERE IS A WAY THAT WE CAN ALL TRANSCEND PAST THAT AS HUMAN BEINGS. AND IT'S OFTEN BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW THE PERSON. AND USUALLY OUR SADNESS IS NOT ABOUT "THEM" BUT BECAUSE WE PROJECT OUR FEELINGS AND LIVES ONTO THE HOMELESS PERSON. INSTEAD OF "Oh, no! That other person I don't know!" WE PROJECT AND ASK "What if that was me? What if that was someone I cared about?" AND YES IT CAN AFFECT US, BUT NO MATTER HOW SAD IT MAY BE IT IS STILL SOMETHING SEPARATE FROM US.
MEANWHILE, WHEN HULK WATCHES A LOVED ONE WHO IS SAD ABOUT EVEN THE MOST TRIVIAL OF THINGS, IT HAS THE ABILITY TO BREAK HULK'S HEART IMMEDIATELY (ESPECIALLY IF THAT PERSON IS NORMALLY STOIC).
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN? THE HOMELESS PERSON'S PLIGHT IS OBVIOUSLY MUCH MORE SERIOUS, RIGHT? BUT THAT ISN'T WHAT MATTERS TO HUMAN BEINGS. IT IS BECAUSE HULK ACTUALLY HAS A DEEP CONNECTION TO THE LOVED ONE. HULK HAS YEARS OF LOVE AND SUPPORT AND KINDNESS. WE ARE ATTACHED ON THE MOST BASIC LEVEL BECAUSE WE HAVE HISTORY AND UNDERSTANDING. WE'VE GONE THROUGH THE DRAMA OF LIFE TOGETHER AND THUS WE CAN FEEL EVERY EMOTION WITH THEM IN A HEIGHTENED STATE. WE INTRINSICALLY UNDERSTAND WHY THEY ARE SAD AND EMPATHIZE, FOR PERHAPS THAT LOVED ONE IS CARRYING A BURDEN FROM A PREVIOUS EVENT. THEY SIMPLY FEEL LIKE THEY ARE A PART OF US. THEREFORE, WE ROOT FOR WHAT THAT PERSON WANTS AND NEEDS.
AND THIS IS PRECISELY WHAT MOST BLOCKBUSTERS FAIL TO UNDERSTAND.
THEY ALWAYS FALL FOR EMPHASIZING THE "SCALE" OF THE CONFLICT EVEN WITHOUT TRYING TO MAKE IT EVER FEEL INTIMATE, PERSONAL OR EVEN EARNED. THEY FAIL TO REALIZE THAT ANY PROBLEM CAN FEEL LIKE THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN THE WORLD IF IT IS YOURS. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY YOU HAVE TO BUILD UP A RELATIONSHIP AND A CONNECTION.

but they forget those awesome clicky microsoft keyboards
better than any hardware apple has ever produced
actual factuals
As far as compliments go that's all I will give, at least right now because I don't feel like thinking about that

the Vita can't play pokemon
I wouldn't mind having a 3DS at some point though
but Pokemon did give us Wobbuffet and Team Rocket so it can't be all bad
I'm trying not to cry.
