  • I did a physics degree and am comfortable with Joules, but in the context of electricity bills, kWh makes more sense.

    All appliances are advertised in terms of their Watt power draw, so estimating their daily impact on my bill is as simple as multiplying their kW draw by the number of hours in a day I expect to run the thing (multiplied by the cost per kWh by the utility company of course).



  • I’m under no illusion Nintendo is a good or moral company.

    Fair point on their mobile games, I don’t pay attention to that space. Almost all mobile gaming monetisation is based upon sucking in whales anyway though.

    I wasn’t even aware of the Nintendo branded microSD. I suppose I could say that for Nintendo you can upgrade storage with off the shelf storage, can the same be said for the other consoles? PS5 storage upgrade is a rip off too.

    We’ll see about Nintendo NFT gaming. Maybe in the mobile space I’ll admit if the industry normalises that shit.

    I’m not even a Nintendo fanboy (mainly PC and PS5) but just appreciate that they don’t overspend on their releases ($600 million dollar failures like Concord don’t happen for them).

    I think we need smaller scale, higher quality games that don’t need to justify their ridiculous development cost by pivoting the game design into in-game spend.
