Kids not having the Saturday morning ritual and being disappointed because golf.

Relatively common for games to be changed for violence, blood, nudity, sexual content to conform to different countries standards.

Yeah, let’s just have a repeat of the rare earth market. That worked out swell for the world to let an authoritarian government have a global monopoly.

Just a big ol’ WTF here…

I like how they raised the price on the controllers and only used magnets for a non-issue and not for the thing that is the problem.

Personally won’t be doing the Kickstarter but would be interested in early access.

Pretty much. Greedy publishers are just following Nintendo’s lead that they can fleece gamers for more.

China blocked a game.

There hasn’t been a Hong Kong in quite a while now.

Are you referring to that chromatic hat guy? I’m in act 2 and I’ve spent about an hour trying to get one of his moves and it’s just not clicking with all of that delay and audio cues for me.

Now you know and no worries if you decide to do the romance path and watch the sex scene, other players won’t be made aware. :)

The biggest things for me is that I hate having to turn the music down in game to be able to hear the parrying cues.

Which will automatically put it in patient gamer territory for me.

Instant claim

And let’s take this outside of the myopic view of only looking at inflation.

Console gaming revenue: 1996 - 7 billion, 2022 - 30 billion

Let’s look at specifically Nintendo here since we’re talking about Super Mario 64

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2001/011121e.pdf

2001, 664 million in profit, adjusted for inflation in 2022 dollars, 1 billion.

https://www.tweaktown.com/news/84668/nintendo-made-6-billion-net-sales-1-7-profits-in-q322/index.html

2022, 1.7 billion dollars in profit.

You forget that in 1996 the gaming pool was also magnitudes smaller compared to today and despite all of the whining about increased development costs, which I also think is bullshit but that’s a different conversation, profits have increased to keep up.

So my opinion, no there’s absolutely no justification for a 80 dollar price point when you look at the over all picture.

I honestly think it will sell a lot because most gamers won’t be able to control themselves.

OP states the get AT&T signal. You live out in the country, you have to get creative. Find the spot where signal is strong, plop your phone there. Mine at the time hung in front of a window.

So this is what I did for a long time at my folks place out in the boonies.

1. Get yourself another line with unlimited data.
2. Buy yourself one of these: GL.iNet GL-MT3000 or GL.iNet GL-AX1800
3. Connect the phone to the USB slot.
4. Turn on the phone’s USB tethering option.
5. Go into the router’s admin page and tell it to use USB tethering as the WAN option.

From newsweek

The tax exemption for overtime pay, if enacted, would only apply to income taxes, and not payroll taxes, and would be subject to income restrictions. A work-eligible Social Security number would be required to claim the deduction.

So I’m very interest to see what the “restrictions” are.

Sigh. They’re really trying to turn into the villain this generation aren’t they?

Just a big ol’ WTF is wrong with society.
