Had to scroll all the way to the bottom to find a fellow soda pop enjoyer. Shame.

A lot of plans do. Especially with the major telecom networks like ATT and Verizon.
Recently had a smaller company come in and install fiber. $85/mo for Gigabit service with no data cap. That’s pretty good compared to what I was paying. ATT only offered 500Mb/s and that was over $110 a month with a data cap, I want to say 800GB.
Do not get reliable enough cell coverage for one of those mobile routers. But they aren’t any cheaper here since those are owned by the major telecoms.

Does this mean what I think it means? Tokyo metro was 100% owned by government (Central, Tokyo) but they are now selling half their shares to privatize the business?
In America this usually means nothing but rapid enshittification of the product to maintain growing profits. The main metro system of the most populous city in the world?
Good luck residents of Tokyo.

Riding passenger down the freeway and an SUV swerving through traffic clipped a nearby sedan right in the rear corner. Think PIT maneuver but the sedan ended up vertical spinning on its trunk/boot like a top for at least 3 rotations.

That’s a great point and a very poignant reason for why patient gaming is important.
I think I was personally focusing on the saving money part!

Great point. Completely agree this applies to any niche games or even any niche market as a whole.
My personal connection and the reason I posed this is me considering whether or not to pay full price for the fate/stay remaster as well as the tsukihime release.

That’s a great point and I never looked at it as a dichotomy.
However, bugs aren’t something I typically run into due to the nature of the simplicity of VNs. It’s more of a question of do I give max support to my favorite developers or spread the support around in hopes of finding new projects from different developers besides my favorite.
The way you laid it out though helps me ask the question of which of those two is more important to me.
Asking the real questions!
So I have a philosophical gaming question for you. Visual novels are admittedly pretty niche in the gaming market as a whole. If they don’t sell well enough sequels don’t happen. So, as a patient gamer, do I pay full price for these games to support further development even though that means buying less games. Or do I wait till they go for deep discount like I have been and have therefore been able to spread my limited support around more. If my end goal is making sure these games keep being made as much as possible, what’s my best option? I am all for the patient gaming mentality and typically wait until games are 50%+ off before I think of purchasing. Looking for opinions on my best course of action. Thanks!

We now have 3D printed euthanasia pods for people that elect to do so. First successful case was very recent. I don’t feel that adding some restraints would be a major hurdle.
If the death penalty unfortunately sticks around, this seems like a humane, cheap way to do so.

I agree that nitrogen can be used for a peaceful euthanasia. Definitely not the way they are doing it though.

I’m having trouble finding the link this moment but I remember reading about a billionaire or ceo public figure who is addicted to this game saying that productivity around the world will crash once this game was released on mobile platforms.
Edit: not some billionaire ceo. It was this link I was remembering:

Not sure if that’s better or worse lmao

I’ve seen the whole thing. Better fight scenes would improve it but it would still remain a major stinker. Zero desire to watch again.

Apparently they filmed everything thinking it would be R rated but changed it to PG13 during editing so a lot of combat footage was too violent for usage.

That would be bad I agree. I however think what they’ve said still allows for a physical Ultimate edition release with all dlc included without the usual additions of “Royal” or “Golden”.
If you are correct that there will be no complete physical version then my feelings are indeed muddled.

Yo! I totally had made that assumption being a longtime persona/smt player but I see now that you are correct they have said that.
I’m still going to wait a bit and see, just picked up SMT V Vengeance so I’m in no rush but this is wonderful news!!!

Women are the most vulnerable in the world and the most important thing is that they are not alone
Edit: to be fair I have been arguing with my family about reproductive rights for awhile (US)
