I've been hearing a ton about this online, and I just want to say that I feel like people are blowing this situation out of proportion. Like.. okay, $10 is a bit steep for a calculator app, but people are acting like the concept of a calculator app existing on the Switch is a crime against gaming in itself. Who gives a crap, just don't buy it. This shouldn't even be newsworthy, I don't get why so many gaming sites are writing about this dumb app.

because they are charging $10 when it should be free for a fucking app on your phone and computer! scam of the fucking century :glare:
And yet you're not being forced to buy it.... I get the fact it's a joke of an app, but really, just chuckle at the thing, don't buy it ofc, and move on. I don't see the reason for the massive outcry here - vast amounts of games on the eshop are shite already, why not let the knobheads that are buying them then go on to buy this app and work out how much they've spent on crap, plus $10 on top :lol:

It's not the platform, it's the price. It's a fucking scam to sell a thing that you can access for free (Google calculator for one) for any amount of money, let alone $10.
I don't know why nobody cared when Nintendo sold those calculators on the DSi. Probably because the DSi can barely access Google and I don't think Google even had a calculator at the time.

it's actually useful when I need to calculate the size of your mom
It's also useful when I need to calculate the size of your (small) penis.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
