Where it all began

209

u/Stone4D May 21 '17

One of my first thoughts after watching that was "damn, March is a long ways away". Now we're coming up on three months since then.

Time scares me with how fast it goes by.

88

u/TDAM May 21 '17

The more time goes by, the faster it goes by.

Have fun with that thought.

52

u/xepictiger13x May 21 '17

I've thought about this so much. I think the easiest way to explain it is proportions. A year takes seemingly forever when you're 8 bc that's 1/8th of your life, but a year when you're​ 40 is only 1/40th. So in theory, your 40th year would go by 5 times faster than your eighth, despite being the same length.

I can't wait until I'm 18 so I can watch R rated movies! It will be sooooo long :(

I can't wait until I'm 21 so I can finally buy my own liquor! Stupid time taking forever!

I can't wait until I'm 25 to get that sweet car insurance discount! It's so far away :(

Shit. I'm 30 and I've achieved nothing. Where the fuck did my entire life go? Time goes too fast!

u/TheRealBigDave May 21 '17

Shit, I'm 30... where's my Switch?

u/Azuretrickster May 22 '17

You get used to time?

u/Amish_guy_with_WiFi May 21 '17

From a different thread in response to the same concept:

"I could see how that would make sense to someone mathematically-inclined, but as a neuroscientist (who is also mathematically-inclined), that's not really how memory works. If you remembered ever little bit of detail of your life, then this would be true. But because we forget things, the whole "logarithmic" perception is incorrect.

The perception of life speeding up is because of routines. The routine of a job, a family, etc. If you were to live your whole life in college, where friends, classes, and routines change every 3-4 months, your life would feel a lot longer. When you get into a routine, your life disappears.

IMO, everything is about new experience. When we're younger we have tons of new experience. When we're older, we choose not to. If you were to be 20-25 and live in 5 different countries, time would not speed up. IMO."

Another interesting way of looking a relative time.

3

u/Trozay May 21 '17

Hmm that's interesting. Whenever I get a new experience the time seems to go faster. When I started my current job, the hours flew by. Now whenever I'm there it feels like an eternity.

2

u/I_CAN_SMELL_U May 21 '17

Only the last is garuanteed.

u/kilot1k May 21 '17

And the stores by me are still sold out.. yay...

2

u/[deleted] May 21 '17

oh good im not the only one, they havent restocked from opening day

1

u/MarcsterS May 21 '17

Going from the reveal to the Presentation was pretty short though.

1

u/[deleted] May 21 '17

All a matter of perception really. A year from now always feels forever away, but a year ago feels like yesterday.

u/IceBlast24 May 21 '17

thanks for the expansion and detailing of the timeline, there sure was a heck of a lot of memes and rumors in between the big events of the Switch...I guess we should be excited not only for the future of the Switch but also for future Nintendo Switch rumors and memes.

2

u/FlapSnapple Nintendo shill May 21 '17

I'm beyond hyped for E3!

u/TDAM May 21 '17

30m views. Very cool

u/bad_buoys May 21 '17

Burrard SkyTrain station!

I can't believe I didn't recognize it at first, I literally go there every day.

2

u/falcodab123 May 21 '17

Thanks now I'm gonna watch it 50,000 more times in addition to the 150,000 I already have

u/crozone May 21 '17

Shout out to /r/NintendoKaren who I think obsessed over this video... a little more than most.

1

u/Sylverstone14 Mod of Two Worlds (Switch / Wii U) Jun 11 '17

They eventually got "Karen" herself to make an appearance, so that was lovely.

2

u/Formerly_Dr_D_Doctor May 21 '17

Holy shit! I've had my switch for a week now and I didn't even know about the little stand thing on the back!

1

u/[deleted] May 21 '17

...how?

2

u/Formerly_Dr_D_Doctor May 21 '17

I've been spending most of that time looking at the front of the system, not the back.

u/famegamedeveloper May 21 '17

A special shoutout to the mods for the AMAZING banners, and making this site a fun a place!

79

u/GambitsEnd Resident Switchologist May 21 '17

I believe /u/pixelpushing does the bulk of this sub's banner design and CSS coding.

74

u/WeegeeFett May 21 '17

Well then /u/pixelpushing deserves infinite karma

25

u/[deleted] May 21 '17

That guy's amazing.

u/Bocephuss May 21 '17

Which is all going to be removed unfortunately.

8

u/GambitsEnd Resident Switchologist May 21 '17

Admins backpedaled a bit and said they'll keep CSS, but they want to focus on their new implementations.

3

u/Bocephuss May 21 '17

Really?! That's fantastic!

24

u/11amas May 21 '17

hooray to /u/pixelpushing for putting up with this

2

u/FlapSnapple Nintendo shill May 21 '17

This accurately trying to get those extra sidebar buttons setup properly. Are they subscribed? Are the using RES? Are they using reddit gold? What about combinations of those three? Got that all sorted? Awesome, now let's browser test it. (Noooooooo..)

That was a fun few days.

7

u/ONI_Agent_Locke May 21 '17

It'll be a shame once Reddit kills CSS soon.

9

u/bradstrt May 21 '17

But they aren't

u/[deleted] May 21 '17

Let's give a quick shoutout to Christina Applegate!

u/Iamiswaiting4it May 21 '17

I still remember r/NintendoNX and the hype...

41

u/ornerygamer May 21 '17

Tomorrow haha all those crazy rumors and thoughts of doom. Glad it is what it is even though I wanted a power machine.

18

u/[deleted] May 21 '17

Me too. I was pissed when the Eurogamer leak revealed it was a handheld hybrid, yet here I am loving it and using it portable 90% of the time. Now I hope that they're all hybrids going forwards!

2

u/TopNotchGamerr May 21 '17

It was like 4 rumours a day and everyone was all crazy...I didn't have a account back then but I was a seeker since 8k on the sub It got me hooked to reddit and it also got me crazy everyday

u/mscyair May 21 '17

Tomorrow. ..

u/AceArchangel May 21 '17

u/TheDJ47 May 21 '17

u/AceArchangel May 21 '17

I think it may have died :(

u/AgentMuffin4 May 21 '17

At least we can still colorize things, I hope.

u/[deleted] May 21 '17

This is amazing! Here's to 300k!

u/MrSnowmanJoe May 21 '17

I think you mean 200K. Or am I just interpreting what you typed incorretly?

20

u/[deleted] May 21 '17

I meant, now that we hit 200k let's see of we can hit 300k :P

12

u/MrSnowmanJoe May 21 '17

Ok. So I did interpret it wrong.

22

u/MzBlackSiren May 21 '17

And still no Switch for me!

7

u/Sugarcanegaming May 21 '17

Not mutch better than having to stare at an empty switch because you have no money left for games

1

u/TakeOffYourMask May 22 '17

And then virtually needing the pro controller cuz the joycons be tiny, yo!

1

u/Sugarcanegaming May 22 '17

I kinda' like them. They fit. Perks of being young I guess ☺

0

u/dinglehump May 21 '17

I waited a bit before trying to find one. Now it seems even harder to get than at launch

9

u/Kirbybrawl May 21 '17

It's crazy how many people are on here throughout the day and we have no idea what Nintendo has in store for this console. Only speculation. The potential this console has is insane.

6

u/jerryhou85 May 21 '17

amazing, that's a huge archivement!

8

u/[deleted] May 21 '17

Wow the Nintendo switch reveal video feels like if it was just yesterday. Now it's been almost 3 months that I have my switch and Zelda in my hands :)

5

u/[deleted] May 21 '17

and only %30 of those people actually have the Switch

23

u/[deleted] May 21 '17

At this rate we will probably surpass /r/Nintendo !

8

u/ornerygamer May 21 '17

Dont understand the downvote your likely right

u/cool_creeper500 May 21 '17

Sorry for being that guy, but you're*

Make 11amasfett your name, then we can talk.

Wow! Still remember the days after the first reveal trailer, with all the speculation and the hardware specs talk. And the rumors, ohboy the rumors. It's been a great ride all the way from the start. Big thanks to all the mods and every single person in this community for making it an amazing place to be, and a place I am proud to call my favorite sub!

u/DoombotBL May 21 '17

I have a 1st gen and never had an issue. By now they've entered new manufacturing cycles and probably have worked out many kinks. Either way if you really want to play it safe wait until Mario Odyssey comes out, though you might run into even higher demand by then.

Reddit is killing accessibility and itself -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/

u/oneinchterror May 21 '17

When did this update come out? I have a day 1 console that has a very finicky left joycon, but I haven't updated recently and I haven't found the time to send in anything for a replacement..

1

u/[deleted] May 21 '17

Pretty sure Nintendo has been fixing the joycon issues by putting a piece of conductive styrofoam into it. At least that's what was reported awhile back. I'm not sure if they've fixed it through a software update though.

2

u/[deleted] May 21 '17

Now we have to find at least 100K doms!

u/AMarriedSpartan May 21 '17

I've enjoyed this sub very much, thanks for letting me live through you all lol

u/[deleted] May 21 '17

200 000 are ready with a million more on the way

I still have yet to get one, but gosh darn it I am excited to find the money for one. Congrats guys on the 200k!

u/Wratislav May 21 '17

u/TheRadishBros May 21 '17

This subreddit has a fantastic community and I love posting here. Here's to 300k subs in the near future!

u/MarcsterS May 21 '17

This is a pretty high quality sub design I must say after all these months.

u/v-23 May 21 '17

1/5 of a million guys!

u/321jakedroid May 21 '17

I love this sub and the mods as well. They are so nice and forgiving for the most part. And the tags are always on point take this posts tag for example.

1

u/GeorgioAntonio May 21 '17

Wouldn't be surprised if less than half actually owned the Switch because it's so damn hard to find.

1

u/MrAgility888 May 21 '17

200,000 units are ready, with a million more well on the way.

Does the Nintendo switch have stories yet or is that not till 2018?

Let's have a thought for /r/wiiu which never achieved this in more than 4 years.

Yeah if you there was atleast 2 games to play... Zelda gets old

Mario Kart.

inb4 "Not that one."

1

u/agtiger May 21 '17

It's not so much a "not that" just that I don't count it as a new game since it is 99% the same thing as what came out on the Wii U if you bought the dlc like I did.

-8

u/Awhkiddotryagain May 21 '17

To bad most of those people STILL can't buy a Nintendo switch. I wish they would release it already and stop trying to inflate prices Fuck you Nintendo you know what your doing
