In 4020 $60 will be less than 1¢ in 2026.

[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This is what nintendo fans will say. Even if somehow rent is $6 due to some future catastrofic events.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

$6 only buys you a month of shelter. $60 buys you a lifetime of entertainment you can pass on to countless generations.

Don't forget a sense of pride and acomplishment

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Plus it's on switch so you don't even really need shelter. You can play it anywhere!


okay i brought mine what next

[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Well as long as you plug the cartridges in the system once every 5-10 years.

Nukes have a wonderful deflationary effect on the economy

True That always confused me why dollar first

You say:

  1. That will be dollars 80-ty

Or

  1. That will be 80-ty dollars

Maybe to visually separate the money number from a number before it? Like a date on a list of transactions.

June 5, 2026 60$ vs June 5, 2026 $60

Idk tho.

Na, one is corporate greed while the other is not diminishing the contribution of the original backers.

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ill be honest. I only new this cuz of the g2a fight.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wait, I'm out of the loop here. What is this G2A fight? I don't use that site because it's greymarket and often ends up not actually supporting the developers, but would still like to know what is happening.

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Old news but since factorio doesnt go on sale they were able to confirm that the keys sold by g2a were stolen.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Okay. I already knew that much, but thank you. Yeah that is the reason I only use IsThereAnyDeal.com to find sales, instead of like G2A/Kinguin.

[–] juipeltje@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I only ever used g2a for some sharkcards back when i was dumb enough to buy them, but microtransactions are scummy anyway so i didn't really care if it wasn't supporting the game

aaaaa clair obscur is almost cheap enough for me to afford

[–] MrRandom@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

you forgot to include 2000 years of in flation

$60 is dirt cheap by then

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

They will demand far more. Nintendo always gets far more than they are worth these days.

Fuck them.

That’s optimistic.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Adjusting for inflation, yeah.
