Ratchet & Spiderman will make launch. Sony will have no problem throwing all their dev studios at making sure one of those hits launch day (they've done it before).

It's remarkably stupid as they are actively stoping what would be high income earners that would pay back a lot in taxes. Canada is set up for a serious windfall over all of this. I mean technically we already are seeing the byproduct of the last few years and this is just going to accelerate it further.

Let us know what you think about it when you give it a go. I still want to eventually grab one but it's just kind of low on my buying priority atm (eyeing the mini sega arcade this xmas and possibly a Mega SG).

In software, none of those examples falls under transactions. The only one would be Tencents/ByteDance renewing their yearly dev contracts with apple. Yet there are most likely legal ways for apple to get around that in the 45 day period before either EO kicks in.

I usually just check sold prices on ebay as many retro shops tend to use that as a barometer for their pricing. If the item is an import from japan then I tend to find a few auctions on yahoo auctions then keep tabs on what they sell for in the end.

Yeah, it's going to be a fucking shit show when a massive hurricane hits before the election and the DRF is straight up empty.

This ban won't because that is not how either of these companies work. WeChat due to WePay is tied in with banks with china for all transactions, far as I know you can't do any transaction in the app anymore without a chinese bank account. Second TikTok does not run/exist in china. Due to the nature of how china is, when TikTok creator ByteDance was looking to bring Douyin (The platform in china) to the west, they spun up a clone of the platform which is TikTok. So TT shutting down has no direct impact on Douyin in china.

https://www.cp24.com/news/we-ll-kick-their-butts-all-over-the-place-ontario-premier-lashes-out-at-donald-trump-over-tariffs-1.5055353 I take this partly as fluff but still, I mean who knew trade wars were so easy to win (against trump).

Yes. I initially was going to make a comparison that what trump is doing would be like him coming in and demanding Epic must sell off any foreign own investments to a US entity or be shutdown. Well now I don't need to make that comparison because it's already fucking happened. https://www.pcgamer.com/every-game-company-that-tencent-has-invested-in/ <- this is out of date even

Trump going after Tencent properties as well.

As I mention in another thread, this is very dangerous and damaging. It needs to be legally challenged by other parts of the government or it will set a damaging president. Already china is already looking to possibly retaliate against tech companies in china including MS.

Canada responds

(I was going to use the randy marsh spooky ghost gif but I'll spare you all) Get fucked NRA!

In a shock to no one... https://nintendoeverything.com/pikmin-3-removed-from-the-wii-u-eshop/

Hopefully people will actually play it this time. Also with that another WiiU exclusive is gone (I still have my copy). -edit- Also of course it's $60 as well, ffs.

Not a secret in the industry. The people who are making your games are getting paid peanuts and a sizable portion are routinely let go after games ship so they can't get any profitability bonuses.

Is anybody really shocked by this? Also yeah DHS needs to go. I initially wanted ICE demolished but DHS has been making the case that the whole thing is rotten.

COVID is wrecking the postal system. It had a huge impact early on in canada which has slowly started to sort itself out with our falling case count. I can image it's getting worse in the US as covid cases continue to climb. For me, I had a package take almost exactly 2 months to move from just 1 city over (less than a 1h drive) with zero tracking updates as soon as Canada Post collected it. -.-

This shit should be calling for an immediate investigation by the house. This will have long lasting damage if ignored.

I've been talking about this for a while. It's really starting to accelerate this year. Thanks to trump's recent fuckups (tik tok), don't be shocked if companies don't start establishing themselves as "Canadian companies" first.

I only have one old pre-order for Metroid 4 switch atm. I only do it when it looks to be a low print run game or I'm getting a good deal. Like my metroid preorder is $20 off because it was tied to e3 preorders.

Yeah it's a working devkit (not pictured is the system/controller part but I do have one). It also helps I have the the lask SDK for PSP so I can even fully utilize it. I got the kit off someone who was looking to get rid of theirs on assemblergames. I actually own a few kits. This, a PS3 Test Kit and a 3DS Test Kit. I use to even have a GBA devkit but I stupidly sold it to work as we really needed a spare kit.

While on the subject of PSP. Gamesack just posted a video today on PSP.

Yeah lego has been expensive for years. I really want this set but there are so many other things I want to buy this year over this. I really look forward to the custom nes replacements/kits people make for other games.
