  • Not to sound like a fanboy, I mean I am but that’s not why, but I get the Mario Kart price tag.

    I’ve had a switch from day 1 and look in the e-shop charts about once a week, and Mario Kart was consistently in the top 20 most sold games of the past 2 weeks.

    From a switch perspective, you paid $70 for MarioKart + $25 for the DLC and got a single game a lot of people played since April 2017. In that same time you got 8 Call of Duty games for $70 each ($560) - with the later CoDs charging you $30 for chores or “Battle Passes”. Or you could have paid 95 Fortnite Battle Passes (total ~$950) since the launch of MarioKart.

    I forgot the point I wanted to make.






  • I was a taxi driver for 8 years. We had a regular, an old lady who worked 2 days a week in a kitchen. She did not want to drive the car herself, because she herself said that she was too old for that and wouldn’t want to risk anyone’s life just because she felt the need to drive (side note: it’s cheaper for most elderly folks to go by taxi when there’s one near them than by their own car)

    Anyway, that woman was mentally and physically not much different from someone in her late 50s. A friend who’s still there told me she’s still the same. She’ll be 88 in a couple of months.

    I also had countless elderly people who just jumped into the VW-Van. Most impressive one was a 103 year old French lady, about 5 ft (150cm) tall.

    And then there’s 50/60 year olds who need walkers, oxygen, crutches, more meds than a battery hen and such.

    I get the feeling that with sloth comes sickness,
