Average out of which number? There has not been enough empires in human history to get any kind of valid statistical conclusion.

Also, the ancient egyptian empire lasted over 3k years, for you to get an average of 250y with such outlier you would need to include what, several 10y “empires”, or divide empires by ruler. Which would then make the conversation moot since each US president would be a new “empire”.

The claim comes from John Glubb, and he used this chart to make the average out of… 11 data points!?! While missing tons of other ancient empires that lasted thousands of years?!

This is the book where he makes such claim

So to answer your comment, yeah math is easy. Impossible to reach such average number with all the data though, given that it was made with a wildly incomplete and incorrect data…

Wym only for boys, don’t you remember the sparkly pink “🌟✨✨🌟 Game Boy Advance SP Girls Ediiitiiooooonn 🌟✨✨🌟”

People that play 1-2 hours a day for the year for 5-10 years will have 3560 hours by the end of it. Anymore than that and it will be more.

+3k hours is not that hard for games that have been there for a while.

Idk which model you got but mine did charge via usbc. It also broke so idk if I would prefer yours lol.

I also didn’t mind not having a second stick, I got very used to using the trackpad to move the camera in games like dark souls, so much that I could turn it waaaay faster than with whatever stick and with way more precision. very important to mention, I did not put it in “controller mode” but in the “controller and mouse mode” where it took the trackpad input as mouse movement, which made it work flawlessly with swift movements. It’s true that the controller mode was lackluster since swiping the trackpad repeated times to turn the camera felt bad. But eh, easily fixable option with an alternative superior to any other controller I’ve ever tried.
