My point is more that new/launch technology is always more expensive at launch, until economies of scale can kick in; and this is the first console launch after the 1-2 years of post-COVID double-digit inflation globally.
It sucks, and I’m not trying to excuse it or hand-wave it away - more-so just pointing out that it was kinda foreseeable, given the current state of things.
If you think this is bad, wait until the next round of console launches in ~2027 from Sony.
Because you have to unplug the camera every time you take the Switch2 out of the dock, instead of just plugging it into the dock via one of its (USB A?) ports?
While Australia is not part of Europe - we do compete in Eurovision, so hopefully this isn’t too much of a stretch: Ksubi
Their premium designs/cuts are actually made in Portugal, too!
OK, so even taking it at face value - is this a tacit admission that more than 1-in-4 of Palestinians killed by the IDF were women, children and the elderly?
“…a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.”
Nintendo launched the first Switch at $299; just accounting for inflation over the past years - that’s ~$390 now, BEFORE even trying to account for any Trump-tariffs they have been (or will be) imposed on electronics hardware.
I hate to give Nintendo credit, but $450 is actually somewhat reasonable given the current global shit-show.
From my understanding, calling a person from Poland ‘Eastern European’ is basically akin to asking for a fight.
Europe doesn’t end at Russia’s border - it ends at the Ural Mountains, so even drawing a midpoint between Portugal in the West and the mountains in the East still puts Poland, Slovakia and firmly in the western half.
I mean, sure you could arbitrarily divide a region as you see fit; by that logic California and Arizona are technically part of ‘The South’, since they’re in the bottom 50% of the continental US - right?
That PS3 custom-mod is absolute mint!
I wonder if cribsnib has any intention of selling kits/shells — I can’t say for certain if I’d be able to afford it, but goddamn do I want one!
Not to be that guy, but technically:
The Looney Toons (Tunes? I’m too lazy to look it up) movie cancellation was by WB/Discovery - who have developed a bit of a habit doing that, but it’s not common in the wider industry.
At this point, the movie is so infamous that they may as well try to cash in and cover some of those lawyer fees!

You’re right; Addressing the financial pain-points, and securing the future of the children of the bottom ~90% should be the US’s primary concern.
Successfully doing so is what buys a political party sufficient goodwill to be able to address social concerns for minorities in need.
It is literally the “why are we sending aid overseas when we have starving children here” meme, but unironic.
