Joining the J’RPG hype train: Claire downloading

Those games are fun but I hit a bit grind wall in both like 60% into the game. I wanna get around to the Switch port of X eventually.

They’ve had ordering open by region for a while. Some places don’t some places do.

Needs more candles

Wal Mart, in my experience, doesn't cancel orders if they can't fulfill, they just allocate you to a later batch. So like if 10,000 people ordered and 7500 consoles came in they would just delay the remaining 2500 for a couple weeks. I'd say the only risk would be if you had more than one...

Yes. This is not specific to the Switch 2 and is how pretty much every product launch (consoles, graphic cards, etc) operates now. It's a huge pain in the ass and retailers don't give a shit because the product sells out super fast every time. There has to be a better way.

Clair seems like a game destined for PS+ eventually at which point I’ll play it

Switch 1 in today's dollars would be $400, so $450 isn't really that bad.

Well it's a totally necessary thing to have and not a needlessly self-inflicted wound from a moron hellbent on destroying everythign he touches.

I managed to get 5 or 6 PS5s (and XSX but I cancelled those) during COVID. Sold them to friends at cost. If you just pay attention to certain sites/twitters/whatever you can usually get a pretty good plan for drops. I'd bet that it'll probably be scarce for the first couple weeks, then they'll...

I think these will still be fairly straightforward to get, it's just the tariff nonsense that's driving a lot of FOMO and early adopters I think.

Hooray! Now I’m done.

Yeah, basic edition. I wanted the bundle but this was my only one that came through. Will still try to get a bundle if I can before launch, but I’m just glad I at least will be playing Mario kart launch weekend

Beat TLOU (again, on an easier difficulty). Will go back to MH Wilds for a bit before tackling Left Behind and then not sure if I'll tackle a big game or try to get a few more smol ones before Switch 2 comes out
