minus-squareScrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.techlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up43arrow-down4·6 months agoI like to do things cost per hour. A $60 dollar video game that gives me 120 hours of content is $0.50 an hour. Pretty good if you ask me. Going to the movies is $20 for 2 hours. $10 an hour. Pretty high, sometimes worth it. That’s about my gauge. This is $21 an hour. For that I better be having just an amazing time, I better be at Disneyland or something.
minus-squareAlbert@lemmy.sysctl.iolinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16arrow-down1·6 months agoHeck even Disneyland is cheaper per hour.
minus-squareViking_Hippie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·6 months agoProbably still much more expensive per hour not spent standing in line, though…

minus-squareHeyListenWatchOut@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 months agoWhen I bought my buddy’s used GameCube for like $50 back in 2005, he gave me an extra controller and Smash Bros. Melee with it. Just on that game alone I logged more than 2,000 hours playing almost literally every day for 4 years alongside my dorm-mates and buddies. That’s like… $0.02 and a half cents per hour… for a whole ass GameCube and a game. …Best purchase I ever made.
