I hate that Xbox is a joke now and that it’s going to die out. I hate that there is going to be less competition in the console space. I hate that Microsoft have no idea what the fuck they’re doing.

Playstation is next; Nintendo has the securist market with its portable console.

I would think hand helds like the steam deck would be slowly strangling it but the switch 2 sold like hotcakes.

The only reason I got a Switch 2 is because a company selling them here in Denmark made a HUGE pricing error. So I got a Switch 2 and Mario Kart World together for just 99 DKK, or 15 USD.

Haha, there’s not much I wouldn’t buy at a 95% discount.

Nearly all my music gear was bought used, at about that level of discount. People buy interesting gear, and never get around to tackling the learning curve, and eventually sell it off super cheap.

If you can be patient, and watch for the exact right gear at the exact right price, and you are focused on performance more than gourmet brand names, you can build a nice home recording studio for super cheap. All my gear, and all my instruments, probably didn’t cost more than $1500-2000 total, and most of it is brand new, or nearly so.
