Current Events > Forbers writer has a meltdown over the SNES Classic

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2017/08/22/5-tips-for-anybody-who-couldnt-pre-order-a-super-nes-classic-edition-today/#2a8ed310c2c2

1. Get mad, curse God and blame your most hated politician.

This is a great opportunity to rend garments and gnash teeth. Cherish it.

Go outside, scream at the sky, and wave your fist at nothing in particular. If people notice, just garble unintelligibly at them. They'll back off. It helps if, after rending said garments, you douse yourself in strong-smelling liquor.

Heck, maybe even pour yourself a drink. It's 5:30 somewhere!

If you have a preferred political figure you like to blame for all your woes, blame them while you're at it. Thanks Obama!

Nothing will make you feel better than going online and venting your frustration, preferably with memes.
Way to help the scalpers Nintendo! What about your true fans???


That's it.
Seriously, you could keep refreshing store pages at Target and GameStop. You could even go stand in line at these places on September 29th when the SNES mini finally launches. But why put yourself through all this misery?

I mean, I tried. I tried to point you to the pre-order pages for the SNES mini. I tried to help you and I tried to help myself and we failed. Nintendo failed. Donald Trump failed. America failed.

he did his best to give us the links but nintendo failed him and apparently he didn't get one either

thanks obama!

For something that is so pretentiously over-the-top about business, money and success, Forbes op eds are among the worst I ever read on the Internet. There is almost zero insight in any of those articles.

Even the ones that are not blatant shitposts like this one, like when they discuss the video game industry, it is so layman that you'd think you read a mediocre GameFAQs post. Not a contributor to a major industry website.

Why even do that with the Virtual Console available?

pretty sure $80 is much cheaper you can buy all these games from the vc correct?

I mean, maybe you don't want them all but most vc games are like $8 or so and some more

so you would get like 8 games instead of 40 for $80
