We'll have to agree to disagree, especially in Mario's case. Mario has the same amount if not more opportunities to be discovered by children Worldwide. Mickey is nowhere near as popular or utilized as he was when you or I were children.

Quote from: xtrasauce;116714933

That's the thing, I doubt kids outside America consume that much Mickey Mouse-centric media nowadays. He's not in movies, he doesn't have many hit videogames... I'm not positive on how many countries his TV shows are being exported to but I doubt it's nearly as many as for Mario games.

Quote from: Sheroking;116720765

I not so far outside of the demographic that I don't hear about the good or popular shows in that web, and I still rarely hear of Mickey.

I'll just mention this: Three Mario games in the last 8 years have sold 25+M units and are in the top-10 best selling games of all time. I don't see much reason for a Disney cartoon show that, going by the network trends, averages fewer than 1M viewers should drive more attention to the character.

I find the idea that only gamers know of Mario to be a little ridiculous too. He was everywhere for far too long.

Now you're just getting into a fight of financial might between Nintendo and Disney. The capacity to infinitely reproduce an image isn't in itself popularity.

Nintendo could build a theme park and fill it with Mario caps but they don't need to. They could license Mario's image to travel and resort companies if they wanted to.

I don't think that's so odd, actually. I worked in a grocery store when I was 16, in the produce department. I couldn't even begin to guess what shit cost in the other departments. Dude clearly doesn't buy steaks in a grocery store all that often, but I don't think him working in a grocery store means he should know the prices of everything in there.

He's not packing random shit in some department. He's a cashier.

Well, still. He drags shit across a scanner and tells the customer the total. I don't think it's at all odd he doesn't remember the prices of things accurately. You're kind of acting like a gamer with this point, here, cowbell.

No well still. Cashiers gotta look at ads, especially when they get challenged on why something came up wrong. On shit like "manager's specials" they have to go out of their way to make sure the 50% came off.

There are plenty of instances where you get informed on the prices of things in the store, especially something as commonly purchased as meat.

When college kids were getting EBT cards based on *their* income not accounting for their parents nor their student loans nobody was "abusing" them like upper middle class cac's. Especially if their parents were sending them money not knowing they had an EBT.

For a while I was collecting the left over receipts at the self-checkouts because it was amusing. Same person spends $30 of their $600(?!?) EBT allowance on some garbage food, then buys $100 of liquor with cash/debit. Meanwhile, I pay for both my food and liquor the old fashioned way, graft and extortion.

I remember when white man had his 30 day sushi thing back in the day. I worked at my college cafeteria and ate sushi there often. I'd buy sushi like two-three times a week. Somehow, I was cute enough back then to get a cashier job and I rang up sushi at least 30 times a week and I don't remember how much that shit costs at all. When you're working in a grocery/shop environment, you become ignorant of prices if someone else is doing the counting for you. I don't remember any numbers. Give the guy a break.

why give him a break? he asserted an anecdote that was easily demonstrated false. there are worse things that could happen to him today than devo smacking his balls around with the social justice yardstick. in fact, given that he regularly contributes to gaf, his existence is some kinda shame fugue to begin with. he's probably actually AROUSED.

I can buy 8 pieces of baked chicken for 7 bucks at the local grocery. I can buy a whole baked chicken for 6. Chicken thighs are five. I haven't bought steak ever because I don't eat it much. I prefer pork chops. Either way, you can buy an IPA 6 pack for like 8-9 bucks. If I can buy a whole baked chicken for 6, and premium beer for 9, it isn't unreasonable that I should be able to get a steak for 10.
