  • Nah, the zoomers are IMO the second generation to grow up with the internet. Sure it’s even more present for them and gen alpha, but I’d argue us millennials are the ones who first really grew up with the net. While we weren’t on the net all the time back then, we were the generation that grew up with the net as it became what it is today, for better or for worse.





  • I don’t get why you would be hesitant at a discounted lasering… Discounts are not the same thing as a cheaper option that costs as much as the discounted price. Just compare it with anything else you’re able to get on a discount. A phone, for example. Would you think that the 500$ won’t perform as well if sold for 250$? No, it will perform just the same. But a phone that costs that 250$ from the onset, that is going to usually be worse than the 500$ one bought at half off.

    So, a proper lasik surgery costs 1500$ (A price I found with a quick google search). That’s a bit steep. But your wife gets lucky and gets the half-off discount. Great, you got 1500$ worth of service for 750$. Now, a lasik surgery that is being offered at the 750$ normally, that would raise a few eyebrows for sure.

    I have a what I assume to be about 1500€ to 2000€ machine (I don’t know the exact value as I inherited it from my cousin who passed away in January) and I can play BotW on yuzu just fine. I assume that even a thousand euro machine would be able to handle switch emulation fine, at least if you don’t go doing any enhancements like unlocking the framerate or running shaders…

    Nintendo games rarely (as in, barely ever) get discounted, especially first party games. Remember how they offered a certain game (I think it might have been 3D All-Stars?) for a limited time only? Nintendo is rather anti-consumer in the long run.

    So if you keep waiting for a price drop, it’s gonna be a while. Maybe you get lucky and some third party shop sells it for 40$. Don’t expect it to go under that for a long time, it’s a Zelda game. The ones who really want it will buy it regardless of the price, and Nintendo or the other shops don’t really care about the rest.
