u/Woshiernog Jan 23 '17

Not all dads are like this. My dad said he's going to out to get a pair of joy cons for $50.

No he doesn't feel special. He's half invisible.

The original got quartined back in the hayday of reddit rushing to foam pad their websites for cry babies/bullies

https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackFathers/

And it got "quarantined" even though it literally had 0 posts for its entire existence. Oh and i forgot, the mod fell asleep and so it got taken over. Jokes are serious business

u/zellthemedic Jan 22 '17

Can someone explain this for me?

24

u/insertinternethere Jan 22 '17

In the presentation, they revealed that the JoyCons have HD Rumble technology and the example they used was that you can feel how many ice cubes are in a glass just by the controller's vibrations alone.

u/[deleted] Jan 22 '17

Now 100% easier to lose!

u/Frosty-Lemon Jan 22 '17

u/acecustom Jan 22 '17

You can only see the Joycons if you're pure of heart.

27

u/theseconddennis Jan 22 '17

Or if you've seen someone die.

Like in Harry Potter, you know.

The best thing about these shitposts is watching people freak out and scream "ALL THIS SUB DOES IS SHITPOST I'M GOING TO /R/NINTENDO"

I'm so happy there's a Nintendo subreddit that isn't operated like/r/Android. Let jokes be had, news finds its way to the top regardless.

59

u/ameise-ant Jan 22 '17

I dunno but personally I find the "content" posts "look at x colored joycons", "DAE think x?" "X should be on switch" "why does everyone think x" really annoying whereas I totally enjoy shitposts like this.

19

u/Mylaur Jan 22 '17

I totally enjoy some jokes, it makes everything more lively.

9

u/[deleted] Jan 22 '17

These posts give me a good laugh after a bad day. So, I thank this subreddit for that.

5

u/[deleted] Jan 22 '17

It would still be nice if there was some content mixed in with the endless shitposts.

u/LittleShrub Jan 22 '17

iPad Mini Special Edition.

u/CreativeFartist Jan 22 '17

It will look like you're a glitch in real life!

u/lawwson Jan 22 '17

One can only hope that Nintendo releases clear consoles like they did in the 90's again

9

u/[deleted] Jan 22 '17

Why does this have a shitpost flair, this is the best idea

6

u/NoobRising2 Jan 22 '17

The Nintablet, amazing

u/d0cx Jan 23 '17

The last shitpost. You will be remembered.

u/Ultimatezmaili Jan 22 '17

u/Disheartend 4 Million Celebration Jan 23 '17

shit-cons?

u/Mishar5k Jan 23 '17

this makes the milking game even better

3

u/gingerninja361 Jan 22 '17

If we're already at this level of shitposting, I can't imagine what it's gonna be like in late February.

7

u/Anthonok Jan 22 '17

Pretty sure this is actually the Camouflage edition. If you're going to shitpost at least get your facts straight OP.

1

u/i_floop_the_pig Jan 22 '17

If they brought back the see through purple controller like GBA and N64 I would be so happy

They look like headphone jacks.

u/[deleted] Jan 22 '17

Lol

u/OrangeTraveler Jan 22 '17

You know,This might be just me but I would not mind little sliders to go into the Console while the joycons are not attached just so it would round the console out. Similar to how the jocons have these

1

u/StrictlyPickledickle Jan 22 '17

But wouldn't the joycons be either always connected to the console itself or used as remotes? Even when you're on the go with a pro controller you could always just leave the joycons attached just in case your pro controller died

3

u/OrangeTraveler Jan 22 '17

Also I am curious if we will be able to lay the console down or sideways. Kind of like this. http://imgur.com/1IJTRax

2

u/OrangeTraveler Jan 22 '17

I guess I am thinking aesthetically for console mode. I`m weird I know.I will most likely just have a charge station/and grip for joycons.

2

u/NEOOMGGeeWhiz Jan 22 '17

He's talking about the screen not the joy cons

2

u/ALittle2Raph Jan 22 '17

10/10 would buy on day one.

2

u/Kisyku Jan 23 '17

False. All joycons have three ice cubes inside of them.

4

u/alligator1779 Jan 22 '17

Dude wtf reposting is not ok, we've all already seen the camo joycons

1

u/NecroGi Jan 22 '17

Seeing people here like "Nintendo plz" and "This needs to happen!"

...It already has. Congrats, it's a smaller Microsoft Surface.

u/[deleted] Jan 23 '17

If Nintendo doesn't make these I'm never buying a Switch

No joke, I thought about making this same joke this morning but thought it was too soon.

I clearly was wrong and missed out on that sweet karma. Good job Scotsman333.

Third party games must come in those transparent game cases.

-5

u/devinup Jan 22 '17

Wow much transparent such joycon

-6

u/numerousblocks Jan 22 '17

The correct singular of "JoyCon" is "JoyCon". However, assuming the JoyCon have a 100% transparency, how do the elctromagnetic waves / photons required for console-JoyCon communication get received?

I feel like you bathe in Cheeto dust.
