    Why do you enjoy denigrating people’s choices? You’re not the only one capable of rationality. It might make total sense from their perspective and financial situation.

      We’ve literally just recreated the meme here in the comments.

      “It’d be pretty cool to have a flip phone to double as a big emulation handhel…”

      Tuba on face

      “A PEWKITTY IS $80 AND YOU GET TO CARRY MULTIPLE DEVICES AND A MUCH SMALLER SCREEN AND…”

      Suggesting a much cheaper alternative that has some benefits isn’t degrading anyone.

        I didn’t say degrading, that wouldn’t even work grammatically. I said denigrating, “to criticise unfairly, disparage”.

        Learn something. And stop putting other people’s ideas down.

          “disparage”

          Suggesting an alternative isn’t disparaging anyone.

          Suggesting alternatives isn’t putting people’s ideas down.

            If you’d stopped at telling others what you’re doing. But no, you must feel righteous in criticising their choices of device, why they use it, and how much they spend on them.

            People don’t owe you explanations for any of that.
