Not sure if it counts as open world, but a souls-like platformer with some great movement is Blue Fire

It's a terribly biased design and makes me question their reporting skills. Anyone knows if you have to show a default value it should be placed in a neutral position, otherwise you bias the poll/study/etc.

The default being all the way to the left isn't good.

Haha, thanks for stepping in!

I think they might have a bit, but I dont think anyone was quite expecting this. I think prices may go up before release if tariffs aren't changed. I could see the console being $500.

No one is saying the current prices are due to tarrifs, there is however speculation that tarrifs may increase the price further.

So, $80 game may be $90-100 with tariffs.

Just like the camera!

It has been a long time, about 20 years. That being said, jumping $20 in price overnight is bound to cause some fervor.

I also think that Mario kart world will probably justify the price, but Nintendo puts out a lot of junk that won't.

Yeah, that thing is going to be around for a year and then just vanish, much like the kinect or eye toy.

The only think I'm salty about is the pricing and move away from physical games.

I think the console, game sharing, games and more all look great.

Eh, I would suspect that a majority of games "pirated" are game you can't buy anymore (ot at least not realistically).

Also is it pirating if I can't find my copy of the game anymore?

This is such a mess. Not only are they chargin more than anyone expected, but the upgrades have different tiers.

Can't wait to see how tariffs impact this too.

I mean technically you own the house and the bank owns your loan (with house as collateral), but I do get your point about taxes. However, if the bank had to pay the taxes, they'd just wind up incorporated into the loan. And if the bank actually owned the home, you'd need their approval for any changes.

As for mortgage insurance, you can avoid that with a large enough down payment (20%).

As for the full cost of the loan, I thought that is part of the standard paperwork? If not, sounds like you might have had a bad realtor. You can also look up that info online with any mortgage calculator.

I don't think it's been a bull market, but I think everyone has been bullish in that they don't think Trump will follow through with blowing up the economy. But given he just announced 10% tarrifs on everything I think the market has been foolish.

Honestly if the markets would realize he's serious they might have avoided this. A huge drop earlier on given his tariff talk might have helped avoid this.

I think it's still to early for that. The market seems to still be quite bullish that things will play out in a good way. However, everything I'm seeing will have years long cascading effects on the economy that we can't begin to forecast.

Given the switch2 is going to cost more, definitely.

Also games are going to be $80 apparently :(

God they're going to say everything people are angry about was Musks fault and try to shift the blame.

Definitely, and that's why hard/strict laws or rules can be dangerous. Much like the famous "I know it when I see it" judgment on obscenity.

Another thing is, I believe, that it wasn't dems showing up to vote, the shift in margin was Republicans voting for democrats. If that's really the case that's huge, cause it doesn't mean Republicans are disengaged, they're starting to work against the current admin.

You'd think, but they're literally cutting like mad men. And it looks like people are already noticing, Wisconsin just went blue for the judge and Florida got surprisingly close to flipping (if you look at the numbers it seems that Republicans were turning out in numbers to vote blue).

I mean look at the stock market, customer sentiment, etc. Everything is pointing down and we haven't started to see the unemployment that's going to be brought on from all the government layoffs and attempts to rescind grants/contracts.

I think the next jobs report is going to be painful and we won't see anything positive economically for a while after that.
