It’s a problem when it basically hijacked all discussion in this forum
I ignored the hardware speculation thread. I check out the Direct thread, ready to tell people to calm down as we already just had a perfectly fine Direct and a pretty stacked Q3 so it’s acceptable to not expect first party news until September, it’s not like we are starved for new information. If it happens before September it’s a nice surprise, it’s pretty silly when every month is a question of #TeamMonth, it’s not January. However, even this thread can’t just be about that as we got the potential new hardware talk right at the poll. If it’s all over unrelated threads it’s pretty hard to simply ignore
I know it’s hard to make new Star Topics and the like, I know about the meme of people posting in forums not playing any games but like… where are the active topics about games. There have been a bunch of notable releases in June, between this and the huge sales there are quite a lot of games to play but I’m not seeing much about them. It’s not ideal that the best way to actually discuss games here is to hope that it’s a topic in the latest page of the General Discussion thread. Last week Three Hopes came out, now I’m zero interested in that game as I hate both Fire Emblem and Musous. However, I would expect it to be a big deal here, like having an official topic, related threads popping up or people spoiler tagging posts about the game and whatnot. I’m not seeing any of this, what I did see however is speculation on future DLC for that game appearing on a hypothetical Nintendo Direct. See the pattern, it’s just not ideal to have speculation as the bulk of most topics here
