...did...you not play on a GBA/DS? The Switch is the exact layout progression of those + extra sticks.

Oh god, I want to experience this game for the first time again.

I got back into video games again during lockdowns and after leaving a very soul-crushing relationship. It was probably the perfect time in my life to experience BotW.

I'm so glad someone mentioned this, no one in my gaming circles even played AW2 and it makes me sad.

I linked you the wrong thing, sorry 🤦 I meant to link a reddit thread discussing employee RSU rates at Nvidia, but now I can't find it because Google AI has decided that I don't need to see that anymore.

I'm sure you can find it if you google (again sorry), but there was definitely a lot of mixed bag experiences on it, you're right. The people who got in by 2015-2016 and got some seniority are making out like bandits now.

Hmm, interesting, are you able to expand on that at all? The people I know who are retiring have been there a decade or so, I'm wondering what newer hires are experiencing.

I don’t think many people would claim overall valuation has much of anything to do with the value labor brings to an organization.

Apologies, can you clarify what exactly you mean by this? Because when I say their labour is not being valued, I do extend that to the Wall Street orgs that are doing the evaluations. They look at the "product" on offer, not the people actually working and developing it.

Are you saying because stock prices aren't steady, we can't correlate that to salaries?

Very true. I personally know two people who were at Nvidia who have retired/are in the process of leaving now, and it hasn't been a hassle for them personally. That obviously doesn't speak for everyone ofc.

I also think Nvidia wants to buy back as many shares as possible from their employees like every other big public tech giant is doing right now.

Brilliant, thanks for this!

I said in a comment on mastodon that I don't think the batch of newer employees hired at Nvidia are going to have anywhere near the same compensation as the current employees do, and this kind of helps support my suspicions...

Which could lead to a morale problem in the company too (speaking from experience)

Well, they technically will see SOME cents of this because I'm pretty sure Nvidia gives employees stocks too.

But yeah, I also posted this because it's a clear illustration of how most salaries will never reflect the value your labour brings to an organization.

I'm like 90% sure Nvidia employees get stock options, but I'm not sure if that'd be the case for the newest batch of hires.

But yeah, this is a clear cut illustration of how salaries undervalue the actual labour provided, I don't think any Nvidia employee's getting 100M from their stocks + salary.

Thank you, I now feel informed and also very slightly falsely advertised to.

I am not immune to propaganda 😞
