We've got a bunch of new people now so let's bring back a classic post. What low stakes conspiracy theory do you believe that you cannot prove but feels right to you?

I'll start: I believe that dating apps have made a concerted effort to smear in person meeting people and tie it to being "creepy" through social media so you are forced to meet people online(which was the creepy option just 15 years ago)

"Nobody cares" tier stakes, but I think Nintendo made games in the dying days of the Wii U that didn't use the gamepad at all so they could later easily directly port them over to other consoles and thus sell them to people twice.

Sure, I'll add that to my worldview

it actually plays better on the wiiu, because it can process more than a calculator

I totally believe this, they really did give up on that controller

It would be so cool if the next console could stream menus to a Switch haha

if the next console isn't just a switch with the same form factor and dock and controllers but a different, slightly better graphics chip and CPU, i'm going to be very unhappy

The Switch is running on a mobile chipset from like eight years ago, the next one better be more than just a little better, lol

It’s Nintendo, they love to shake things up even when it’s not necessary. The next console is going to be a bicycle with an AR windshield or something
