Did I miss something or are people becoming literally retarded now?

There's a thread up right now where someone is blaming Nintendo for people being too stupid to know how to attached the Joy-con straps to the controllers when both the controller and straps have +,- icons on them to match together.

But yes, being literally retarded is how you get views and hits these days. The biggest question is are they retarded for doing the shit to get views or are the people who read the articles/watch the videos the retards?

I mean when you really think about it it's probably a good idea. Those cartridges are tiny and as we know the majority of Nintendo fans are children.

I thought this was why they made the neon version.

>or are the people who read the articles/watch the videos the retards?
Could be the case for some sites, like Fox News

Scientific Nintendo

You would know all about being stupid, making a bait post like that.

Because the issue isn't so much that something happened when they put the strap in the wrong way, but that it would permanently fuck it up. That takes a special kind of stupid to design something that poorly.

>blaming Nintendo for people being too stupid to know how to attached the Joy-con straps to the controllers
The issue is more that if you put it on incorrectly, it snaps into place and can only be lifted off by using a tool to wedge it off and possibly break the damn thing.

Go lick Hillary's cunt

>It's ok when Nintenbros do it

The Streisand Effect. Nobody would think to put it in their mouths if Nintendo hadn't drawn attention to it.

"But we put some bittering agent on it! That will stop the kid from eating it!"

I have seen in my lifetime children under the age of three eat:
-Playing cards
-Frayed rope
-A rubber band
-A rubber bouncy ball
-Paint
-Game cases
-Dog shit
-Their own shit
-Wires
-SD cards

And Nintendo actually thinks a fucking BITTERING AGENT will stop them from putting a tiny game card in their mouths? Fat fucking chance.

>Because the issue isn't so much that something happened when they put the strap in the wrong way, but that it would permanently fuck it up.

It's not permanently fucked up, it's just tricky to get off again because you have manually manipulate the tabs. That being said, it's so fucking easy to put in little blocking tabs to make it impossible to put something on backwards so it's definitely shitty design.

These are adults, not children

>tripfag talking about stupidity
Oh the ironing.

Bitrex is the most bitter substance known to mankind. A child will spit it out immediately.

>That takes a special kind of stupid to design something that poorly.
And it takes an even greater kind of stupid to put them on wrong in the first place.

>And Nintendo actually thinks a fucking BITTERING AGENT will stop them from putting a tiny game card in their mouths? Fat fucking chance.

Generally speaking children absolutely despise bitter things. Something to do with the taste buds at that age makes children desire sweet things and stay away from bitter things. It's why they love candy so much whereas adults would much rather a steak, that desire for sweet things and aversion to bitter things goes away. If you want to make sure a child is not going to stick something in it's mouth the best way to do so is make it taste very bitter. Or make it bigger than their mouth.

>according to reviewers who have received the console early

WHY in the name of any deity that might exist, would a PROFESSIONAL REVIEWER decide to TASTE THE FUCKING CARTRIDGE.

There is no hope left for this generation. Just start WWIII and purge the world already.

>PROFESSIONAL REVIEWER decide to TASTE THE FUCKING CARTRIDGE.

For the page hits and video views. I wouldn't put it past them to fuck their consoles/handhelds if it was allowed.

Yes but why is it newsworthy
Why are adults putting it in their mouths

>muh fox news

Fox news is nothing compared to Huff Post.

>defending shit design
>not realizing kids will be using the system
The only retarded thing here is you nintenbro.

Just so you know, in most of the world you put together a + and a -. Magnets. Batteries. Etc. Their decision to make +s and -s "match" goes against the status quo. They should have chosen different symbols.

Does it transfer to other objects?
If I change cartridges while eating a sandwich will it ruin my sandwich?
This is a very real and important question.

I do kinda miss when dailykos was the worst of the web though.

Huffpo just isn't quite as fun to mock people for somehow. It's like you're still kicking AOL.

Nintendo's fanbase has been like this since at least the Wii.

...

To be fair that is bad design. There is no reason why they should fit both ways and get stuck one way.

Do you always have to stop and read "Push" or "Pull" on doors? Or is it usually immediately obvious due to the design of the door?

SpaceShipTwo broke apart and exploded because a pilot released a locking mechanism too early.

Was he wrong to do it? Absolutely. But it was absolute shit design that he was ABLE to make that mistake in the first place.

Depends. In murrica at least, there are a hell of a lot of small business doors, with handles that look made to push that you're supposed to pull, and vice versa.

Transexual doors that can't commit to one or the other are the worst kind of trash.

None of those things even come close to the most bitter agent on the planet. Not sure about which paint you ate as a kid, but I'm a typical Sup Forums goer who loves Soulsborne, so my taste is already shit.

Wew. Was there a big twitter fight after that ?

The dunkin donuts near my job out the door in wrong and the push bar is outside and you have to pull it to get in and the pull handle is inside and you push to get out.
Or something fucked up like that.
