consoles should measure in blocks again

Taking the 8 Blocks = 1 MB conversion that Nintendo used, wouldn't that mean that most modern games'd have to list their size with six figure numbers? That feels like it'd be a bit clunky.

@AppleAmps modern games shouldn’t be that big

@AppleAmps the huge number should make you think about truly how fucking massive those games are

I mean, yeah, but they are, I'd rather have a game listed as 50 of something than 409600 of something. Hell I'd rather have em listed as 2.2 of something than 18022.4 of it, y'know?

Also 15 Gb (or 122880 blocks, six figures) isn't that much, right? Like it's smaller than BotW and that was a Nintendo game released nearly a decade ago.

My take is that we should abandon blocks AND bytes and make a new measuring system for consoles called "blorps" or something.
