Fair question! According to the Wikipedia numbers (which it seems are from Nintendo 🤷‍♂️), they sold 1.5M in US CY2018 - which is about 30% of the ~5M total unit sales for that year on the above graph.

Just thought it was worth considering in the overall analysis. Definitely price also matters!

Do you think Nintendo’s handheld and console markets collapsing into one is a potential cause for the hardware number drop off around 2018?

(Ultra) Rich people should fund weird shit for clout like old-timey patrons of the arts!

This is actually an art-meets-commercial-reality discussion that nobody wants to have. If these artists weren’t trying to run a business and could distribute their works on their own platform for free, they wouldn’t need Steam at all…

Your unexpected self-care advice for the aging among us is one of the most low-key wholesome things on this platform

We don’t credit the people who commissioned a painting for its existence - we credit the painter…

Highly recommend Makars Mash Bar if you’re looking for a place to eat!

I usually try to sleep on the flight over - then as others have said, have a full day when you land (i.e., go to bed when the locals do)

Try not to sleep on the flight back until you get home 😅

I appreciate this analysis - quite thoughtful and measured!

It’s easier for the minority party to stop the party that wants to build things - harder for them to stop when it’s just the executive tearing things down without legislation!

I had to double check this wasn’t an Onion post

It seems my engineering job is safe for at least a little while…
