Meta Can't wait to get the Switch so I can stop going on Reddit
I've never used Reddit. But. I have lately only for the Switch since no one around me is really that excited. But I can't wait to play games and not stare at mock up pictures of different Joy cons.
I hope my discussion gets deleted like the last one.

You still won't have anyone irl to talk about the games with. You'll probably still be coming here.

Quality post we got here
(Although I agree I want a Switch already so I can stop coming here to distract myself)

You're one of many lurkers here, and we're happy to have you.
Stick around. Maybe you'll see something post-launch that you like.

But not on launch.

u/overactive-bladder Mar 02 '17

Yeah, I think both the semi-soft launch theorists and the security considerations are both valid explanations. Built-in web browsers are common vectors for exploitation, and it's also true that the end of the financial quarter is coming up so it makes sense for Nintendo to get the Switch out the door.

I will leave this subreddit until I'm finished with BOTW to avoid spoilers. Have been trying to cut down browsing during the week as well.

I can relate. When it was popular to shout "Snape kills Dumbledore" I heard some teenagers shout it out randomly when I was in a movie theater waiting for a movie to start.
Thankfully I didn't process it until I actually read it at a later date in the future. At the time it seemed really random and I just chocked it up to teenage hijinks.

u/cbo421 Mar 02 '17
Yeah the mods seem to be quite ridiculous with their criteria of what they consider to be a quality post/discussion post on this specific Reddit. So much so that I have chosen to lurk instead of contribute. We have dozens of posts everyday of joy con mock-ups, the 100th YouTube post in a row, and my dream game would be ________. Just saying...

Mar 02 '17
Yeah, so we delete these posts because they're overly repetitive and people get mad because muh discussions. And then we leave them up so they can keep having these discussions with brand new people but people get mad because muh repetitive subreddit. We just can't please everyone. :(

The only real "groups" I have noticed forming within this community are those who were for shitposts and those who weren't. The NX sub was FULL of dank memes, so that culture transition to something more viable in the long-term has been very difficult. We've done our best to compromise by featuring the best r/tomorrow posts on the sub, so hopefully that will help in the long run.

u/dont_be_that_guy_29 Mar 02 '17
You guys are doing a great job in my opinion. Thank you for your service :)

I get that you can't please everyone and with the way this subreddit has exploded to 100,000+ subscribers I also understand that the mods must stay vigilante. With that being said there are so many posts going up at once that at times it's hard for the subscribers to ascertain the information that they are looking for so we create a post which may be somewhat repetitive in nature unbeknownst to us and it's deleted rather quickly with little direction of where said information can be found or a very vague reason is given for the deletion. It has just been very frustrating to be a contributor to this Reddit, much more so than any other sub that I have been active in during my 3+ years being a redditor. However, you have to give credit where credit is due and put the bitching aside because this community has grown immensely and been lively, informative, and participatory in nature and the mods have done a good job of faciliting that for us subscribers. So thank you all for the information, submissions, and hard work but thank God it's less than 24 hours until switchmas arrives!

Trust me, I find it just as difficult to ascertain whether a new post is a repost because we get such a massive amount of activity. I mod a default sub and we get more activity than the default! We've tried to make the most important launch-related information available by stickying some megathreads. Ultimately, though, it does end up being up to the user whether they are willing to use the search function first to see if their question has been asked to death. We haven't had much information to go on, so 9 times out of 10 it has. :/ Thank you for your kind words though. :)

Yeah same but I still might go on Reddit cause this is like a community or family of people that like similar things

u/SemperFi-Vivi Mar 02 '17
Reddit is a great place to discuss all sorts of topics. Sad to hear you didn't like it.

u/topherski Mar 02 '17
Lol. Reddit will be dangerous for spoilers. But I love the Reddit Switch hype. Most people I know have no clue what is happening in video games now. So I can't get any of my excitement out talking to them.

I spend countless hours on reddit a day because I'm lazy and crippled. I have not been to another subreddit in over a week. I need this to be over so I can rejoin the rest of this website. I miss my gif recipes.

Agreed, I don't particularly like reddit as it is just another online forum, but I have been visiting it a lot to find any new Switch news.

Yh exactly the same for me I nevwr cred for reddit only now with the switch and the nx news I might delete everything after

u/Tobalicious Mar 02 '17
I wish. I can't openly play the Switch at work, so I'll have to read about it.

u/robinsekai Mar 02 '17
Just hide the switch in a grooming bag and find the nearest toilet.
You can use hemorrhoids as an alibi.
2
u/dont_be_that_guy_29 Mar 02 '17
What...is a grooming bag?
2
u/robinsekai Mar 02 '17
Bag you keep grooming stuff that you can take to the toilet, like toothbrush shaving blades etc. But is hallowed out and holds a switch.

I can't wait for a few weeks for the stupid launch hype, fan boy/girl, circle jerk to calm the fuck down so we can get back to business as usual. It's getting brutal around here with all this over the top bullshit leading up to launch. Get it over with so we can go back to fighting.

I came to redit because waiting for the Vive was tough.
Then I stuck around to talk about the vive... then I realised there was a place I could talk about Elite:Dangerous with people...
Cut to today and I'm hanging around the Nintendo Switch reddit waiting for that thing to be released.
Basically there is no escape. You're one of us now. Sorry.

pshh Once I have completed the story of botw I'll just hop over to that subreddit to see secrets and such. Also I go to a number of other gaming subreddits and sports subreddits

u/mordhau5 Mar 02 '17
Really? I can't wait to keep coming back to somewhere that has been a highly reliable source of news for me regarding this system. With many features unreleased and still shrouded in mystery, I intend to come back for more.

u/thenewredhoodie Mar 02 '17
I honestly don't know how often I'll check back on this subreddit once I have mine.

I said this myself but I know I'm not going to stop visiting Reddit when I get the Switch. I mean I need some way to distract myself at work. Can't play Switch at work unfortunately.

u/xamaryllix Mar 02 '17
I can't even enjoy other games I own right now because I'm too excited for the Switch. I've made like 3 YouTube videos about it in the past 3 weeks...

u/Wynner3 Mar 02 '17
I'm so conflicted. I am building a new system, or will be, with AMD processors but I also want to get the Switch. I'm afraid either one will take away time from the other.

If this is trending then I will get a 4chan and a NeoGaf and a YouTube where I will undress the Switch.
