Nintendo Super Mario Maker 2 announced for Switch, releasing June 2019
Slug replied to SaysWho?'s topic in The Spawn Point
I missed the boat completely on the WiiU. But got into watching Ryukhar Mario Maker videos on youtube and now can't wait for this version. -
You're right that there are supposed to be exemptions for reasonable deviations, but I've never heard of the deviation rules being applied in favor of a gun owner. It may have happened, but I've never seen it. In NJ you err on the side of caution. If a cop sees a gun case in the back while you're getting your gas tank filled, your vehicle is getting searched and you're getting arrested. No question. Maybe you'll be successful fighting it? But the costs to you will have already been incurred at that point (jail time, lost job, time, money, lawyers, etc.). You're ruined. And hey. Taco Bell is the best.

Those were actually a couple real fun games last night.

This is only true if you never move, never get married/name change, etc. Any change to any information on the card requires starting mostly from scratch. It's not like a driver's license where you can submit a change of address form. One time I moved from one apartment to another in the same building so my unit # changed (e.g. 123 Main Apt. 213 to 123 Main Street Apt. 215) and it required a whole new round of background checks, time off work, fees, etc. For transporting in a vehicle, yeah. Relatively minor inconvenience. It's the location restriction that is the problem. You can't get a carry permit in NJ. That vehicle transport is restricted only to transport a firearm between your home and the range, gunsmith, etc. where it is to be used. That's it. Sure, it's locked in your trunk, but stop to drive-thru Taco Bell for lunch on the way home? Felony. Stop for gas? Felony. If you believe that even after all the vetting and hoops you have to jump through in NJ that someone who qualifies still shouldn't be allowed to carry then cool. But if you think carry should be allowed for supremely qualified individuals then it is a big deal.

I've been waiting for this forever. It seems like a no brainer on the Switch. I'm all about this game. After it comes out I hope we use this thread to post each others' level codes! I wanna play through the crazy crap y'all come up with. -
In Mass the process is pretty streamlined. Strict, but efficient from everything I've been told. NJ has a very similar system in theory; FID -> permit to purchase -> purchase check. The difference is that in NJ it's deliberately cumbersome. The process just to get the initial FID with the local and state background checks, the mental health histories, requiring local fingerprinting and third party corporate biometrics, and fees at every step of the way. And weeks or often months of waiting. That's just to get the ID card and your initial purchase permit. It's even worse if you're in a township without a standing police department because then every step requires making appointments with the nearest state police rep which can be a long time out and will almost always require you to take off of work. After passing all that you go pick out and purchase your gun, but can't take possession of it. You now have to wait weeks for another round of background checks (in case you became a felon after going through all the previous steps and decided to still try to get away with buying a gun at a store after that). When that finally comes back clean you can take your new gun home where it stays, because even after all that validation leading up to this you aren't allowed to leave your house with your gun in NJ. NJ would ban firearms outright if they could. But they can't. So they make the process as difficult, inconvenient, and unwieldy as possible in order to suppress ownership to as great a degree as possible. They want you to pay, and to wait, and travel, and to have to take time off of work, and so on. It feels very much like tactical voter suppression.

I just now watched the Direct. All I can say is, "Ouch, my wallet.."

Superman pretty much beats anyone who isn't cosmic-tier "think you out of existence" powerful (Eternity, Tribunal, etc.).

6-6 we got a barn burner!

Inaugural season kickoff is tonight at 8 on CBS. You will get Atlanta @ Orlando or San Diego @ San Antonio depending on your market. Enjoy!

Not usually my kind of movie, but this actually looks fun.

Yeah, depending on which scenario you end up getting, a play-through can be pretty short.

I have a willpower problem. I went to Amazon to check out Talisman and ended up buying Blood Rage on sale.
