I had a chance to play it at an event last year. Maybe things have improved in the interim, but I’ve never played a game with a more obtuse control scheme in my life.

Who puts jump on square??

To add, refunds are only going back to the businesses that directly paid the tariffs. But those businesses were already offsetting the costs of their goods to counterbalance them.

Outside of a few more consumers being priced out, a business playing their cards right may not have actually had too much of a hit to their bottom line under tariffs. But now, in addition to the profits they made by increasing prices to offset the tariffs, they’re going to get refunded the cost of the tariffs anyways.

So the one left holding the bag ends up being the American consumer and taxpayer, who has struggled to afford basic goods throughout Trump’s presidency, and will not see any returns from the tariffs either, as all of it comes right back out of tax revenue.

Not that the American public were likely to see any tax relief or benefit from the tariffs in the first place, mind.

Businesses will get refunds, but not any of the consumers who paid higher prices for the tariffed goods.

I doubt we’re likely to see many prices come back down from their tariff-inflated values either.

Might still be worth checking your WiFi access point to see if there’s anything weird going on. The Switches still connect to one another locally using the same WiFi chipset they’d use to connect to your router. Seems odd that one would struggle while the other works without issue in that case.

It does still fit the same meter, at least.

Also “cause you know I’d walk a kilomile if I could just see you tonight”

To continue the sandwich analogy, it’s also, like…

You eat the sandwich made by your loved one, and not only is it everything you asked for, but they also threw in some good salami and a dash of balsamic vinegar that you never thought to even ask for in the first place, because they know your tastes and thought you’d like it. You now have a new favorite sandwich.

Versus the gas station sandwich, which is fine, but only just meets the bare minimum qualifications to be a sandwich. They used to load it up with cheap cuts of meat, which at least made it good value for the price, but lately they put in maybe a single slice of ham or two, a single sad piece of rubbery cheese, and condiments are all sold extra. And the price of the sandwich itself, smaller and cheaper than ever, has only gone up.

Can even turn Venus into an easier direct sell. It’s a lot bigger than Mars (more land = more money), actually has an atmosphere, is named after a Roman sex goddess, and is 100% free of communism (the USSR’s probes were destroyed).

Sure, the scientists warn that the greenhouse effect causes Venus’s temperature to exceed 400°C on the surface, but they already know those scientists are full of shit because the greenhouse effect is fake news.

Just play any Soulsborne game with player messages enabled.

“Try jumping.”

Yeah, it’s a texture thing for me, too.

Some people like a good contrast of textures in food. I prefer consistency. So I hate anything in a burger that has any amount of cold or crunch. Mushrooms I can do, but tomatoes make it worse for me.

Especially when you fail to bite all the way through the tomato and end up pulling the whole thing out along with half the other burger toppings.

Had me curious so I looked it up. Most recent I could find is that she released a book in 2020, and she appears to be semi-active on Instagram, with her most recent post being a few weeks ago, and apparently making an appearance at a premiere for a movie from The Oatmeal as of 5 days ago.

Sure, but do we not consider the installments of a trilogy to be complete products in their own right?

Like, I don’t think it would be fair to say a similar product like Dune is a waste of time because they set up for a part 3 that has not yet come out, when the original Dune movie was just a single film instead of 3.

I played Remake, then played the original FF7, and then played Rebirth. They’re not very comparable games, but I think I enjoy Remake/Rebirth more than the original.

But I acknowledge that I don’t have the nostalgic attachment to FF7 like others do. To me, I feel like the original game did not age well. I’ve played every other mainline Final Fantasy game (except for 11) and I honestly think 7 is the worst of the PS1 trilogy.

I also wouldn’t treat Remake/Rebirth as separate chapters of an incomplete game. They’re all full-size games. I beat the original FF7 in about 2/3 the time it took me to beat Rebirth.

Trump can be long dead and buried, yet I feel like he’s still going to be running in every US election for the next few decades. The majority of his supporters have only doubled down on his brand of politics, so there will always be another Trump.
