I can’t wait. All this protest coverage will lead to bigger protests in coming weeks/months.

If the price on games is actually what people are saying it’s going to be? And it never drops? Nah I wouldn’t buy. I agree it feels…disrespectful to their fans.

It would have to be the best animal crossing or zelda game in the past 20 years. And I would have to ensure I’m getting it for cheaper in some way, shape, or form.

I certainly wouldn’t be buying it directly for full price. Likely used or something. I don’t have the money to justify that kind of purchase. The console price I can kind of understand, but the games seems ridiculous. I have a backlog of titles to play, and I only buy when I can get a sale or a discount. Heck, the rpg’s I haven’t gotten around to on the switch 1 would probably last me 5 years alone lol

If I had to guess, I bet they’ll reduce the cost of the console within a year.

They might decide against charging so much for their games? That might be less likely but they haven’t confirmed the game prices yet

I’m really curious how the rumored price increases on games will change the entire market (if any). Currently, I have no plans on getting a switch 2 until either a must-have exclusive pops up or until there’s some price drops. I just don’t see how they can expect the average family to be able to afford the new games.

Then, on top of this, slap tarrifs on for Americans and oof I feel for you all right now. It’s… unprecedented territory we’re in right now. I hope things stabilize soon

Lol that will do the trick! Funny how if you think of an idea, someone has likely already done it. Thanks for sharing :)

I appreciate the Sharpie reference, lol

Has anyone made a book or website documenting all the crazy things that he’s done? I feel like they would have at least a couple thousand moments to write about. It seems like we get to see something absurd, horrifying, or hilarious daily. It feels like far too much to keep track of, which is probably the point

Kinda surprised to see Shenmue at #1 It did incorporate multiple gameplay loops and detail that wasn’t usually seen at the time (or even today for that matter). It also introduced quick time events.

I guess I’m just surprised people care about it or know about it. Whenever I talk about that series people don’t seem to know what I’m talking about lol

That being said, if he owned tiktok, he would have access to an algorithm to push an agenda. Whereas twitch doesn’t really have the same kind of thing.

He kinda does. Amazon owns twitch

I’m not a fan. He looks weird

I am very curious how they’re going to tackle regional pricing on games. $80 USD converts to $115 Canadian. No other console is pricing their games that way. At least not yet (thanks nintendo) But that would be a $25-35 increase compared to Ps5 and Xbox games.

For being a family console, it seems like a very weird decision when we’ve been hit with such bad inflation and wage stagnation in the past 5 years. I cannot see as families springing for a switch 2 as they did for the switch 1.

I am seriously considering waiting until a must have title comes out at this point because the price to value just isn’t checking out at the moment. It seems odd. The only thing I can think of is that Nintendo has to have some very good games cooking for the future because this immediate presentation was…underwhelming?

Edit: Thinking about it more, if they did price their games that way, I think it would completely price me out of new games all together. I would have to absolutely know 100% that I’m going to love a game and play it for a very long time to justify that kind of price. Very few games do that for me. I feel like that kind of price increase would encourage illegal downloads too. Especially for countries with weaker currencies

I don’t know what to expect. My expectations are kind of low, but I’m hoping they pull something out of their sleeve to surprise us

That poor dude and his family. That shit is so wrong. I hope he’s able to stay strong and somehow make it out. Surely, someone out there has to be fighting for his freedom, right?

Awesome. Love to see it

I have visited reddit only a small number of times since I left. But holy shit it’s unbearable now. AI answers everywhere. What’s the point?

Fascists in action huh. We need more of this kind of footage.

We need to catch these fascist tripping in a George Floyd type incident. Get people upset enough to commit to action. This seems too calm for people to get enraged.

Her lawyer said: “We are unaware of her whereabouts and have not been able to contact her,” “No charges have been filed against Rumeysa to date that we are aware of.”

I don’t think you’re fear mongering. Trump said it himself. He said if people voted for him that they “would not have to vote anymore.” That’s pretty clear-cut to me.

I anticipate that there will be a civilar war of some sort. Or a military coup.

They might do a mock election similar to Russia.

I hadn’t tried it on mobile but I’m not seeing the settings for it either. I might be blind

Brains and eggs seems very wrong lol. I’m assuming health reasons are why it’s no longer a thing.

I have eaten or seen a number of these things on the list. However, a few are things my parents would eat or do make and eat from time to time. I often wonder how many of these dishes I’ll continue to make or if I’ll stop having them once my parents have passed on. Weird to think about. Sorry for the existential thought.

This list also made me think of local bakeries. We have them in my city, but to go to an actual local, not corporate owned bakery, I think I would need to travel at least 15 to 20 minutes by car? I would love to be able to get fresh pastries.

I knew they would be killing people. I just didn’t expect it to be this fast. It sucks that there’s realistically not much that I can physically do other than spread the word that shit like this is happening and boycotting American products. It doesn’t feel like it’s enough
