  • people even shortened to Insta

    Everyone shortens it to insta, Facebook gets shortened to fb or face, youtube to yt or tube. Very few websites don’t get shortened, and those are usually the ones with short names, sometimes even monosyllabic names. Twitch, you can’t shorten that (at least no in any reasonable way), tiktok, and so on.

    The rest of your comment stands, I just took umbrage with your implication that Brazil is somehow different in shortening names of apps and platforms. They might do it more often than others, but they’re not unique or special just for doing it.

    I have a what I assume to be about 1500€ to 2000€ machine (I don’t know the exact value as I inherited it from my cousin who passed away in January) and I can play BotW on yuzu just fine. I assume that even a thousand euro machine would be able to handle switch emulation fine, at least if you don’t go doing any enhancements like unlocking the framerate or running shaders…

    Nintendo games rarely (as in, barely ever) get discounted, especially first party games. Remember how they offered a certain game (I think it might have been 3D All-Stars?) for a limited time only? Nintendo is rather anti-consumer in the long run.

    So if you keep waiting for a price drop, it’s gonna be a while. Maybe you get lucky and some third party shop sells it for 40$. Don’t expect it to go under that for a long time, it’s a Zelda game. The ones who really want it will buy it regardless of the price, and Nintendo or the other shops don’t really care about the rest.
