A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
You know, like McDowells. I don't actually care what color my shells are. There are principals involved. Principalities!
Just the Mario part, I think you could make a clone with just different scenarios and characters (even the same track shapes) and be 100% legal.
piracy makes for the easiest boycott ever.
Excuse me, it's not piracy if it's Nintendo.
nintendo is one of those companies where ill take pride in STEALING from, even if piracy isn't stealing.
I'm still busy enjoying their older consoles. They probably hate that.
judging by how hard/expensive it is to obtain their older games on their newer consoles, yeah you bet they hate it.
luckily those are both easy to emulate and buy second hand.
Yep, I like to play their older games on a mix of original hardware, modding, and emulation.
Modded Wii U playing online on Pretendo Network 😚👌
The Wii is still a good platform
Wii U also. You can download pirated games directly from Nintendo official servers.
The Mario part. You can copy the Kart part all day. They've been doing so since at least the 64. See:
Diddy Kong Racing
Crash Team Racing
Burger King Pocketbike Racer
Let's not forget SuperTuxKart!
I love tuxcart but I can never find anyone else playing? Is the player base just that small?
Most of people are self-hosting the server. You can go to the official Discord or Any STK commmunity to find friends to play together :)
Tbh I have no idea. I've only ever played single-player!
The crash racing games are actually amazing, their boost system is the best
Basically every kind of game needs a "MUGEN" for that genre. Then we just put in the content we want and theme it appropriately.
Edit: Some salty commenters here. This isn’t my graph, just one I grabbed. Notes aren’t mine.
I’m a huge proponent for inflation adjusted livable minimum wage- which should be close to $30 an hour these days. Also hugely worried about our housing cost trends.
I’m only pointing out that expecting games to cost 40-60 for life is a little silly- yall still paying $.10 for a loaf of bread? I remember when games inched from $40 to $60 and everyone lost their minds- no one complains about it anymore. Don’t wanna pay retail? Wait for sales, bundles, used copies.
The thing that graph doesn't take into account is barely anyone payed full price for those older games. Games used to lower prices to increase sales volume and those sale prices are significantly less than $80 even accounting for inflation.
Okay, but now do housing and groceries and you'll see why people don't have extra money laying around for another Nintendo and its Mario kart.
Economics is significantly more complicated than a bar graph of inflation-adjusted video game price tags lol. Hell, even just value of each game in their respective release time period is more complicated than that. I doubt there's anything unique to this new game (other racing games have done the open world thing several times starting like 15 years ago), but the kart racer genre itself was new back in the 90s.
This is a valuable way of seeing how prices have changed in different ways for different categories, just since 2000.
Why are TV's listed as "100% cheaper"? I'm a little confused about that number.
Looking up the source, they state: "At the turn of the century, a flat screen TV would cost around 17% of the median income of the time ($42,148). In the early aughts though, prices began to fall quickly. Today, a new TV will cost less than 1% of the U.S. median income ($54,132)."
So a Flat screen TV used to cost around $7165, and does now cost around $541, which is about 7.5% of the original value. That means a deflation by 92.5%.
In fairness here, it's not Nintendo's fault we let landlords gobble up all our spare money.
Maybe they need to send Luigi to have a word.
So, like Switch 1 games were/are $80, I don't understand the uproar?! They've always been this expensive, they haven't gone up. Maybe I have it wrong as a Canadian?! I don't get the big deal?
I think this is the first time base games are $80
No game for any platform has ever been $80 USD base price.
