I read 500 years ago, and "thought well I guess then the Roman Salute make a little bit more sense? ".

Much cheaper, but not more secure.

Excluding that, if my country had started a territorial way of aggression, and I was now living in a country that’s been threatened by said country in the recent past as well, I wouldn’t be traveling back, let alone often.

Combined with actual continual examples of Russians not only spying but carrying out assassinations in foreign countries (like the UK) and sabotaging infrastructure almost every month, and if anything, this is pretty light retaliation.

It’ll never be popular in Finland.

Sounds too much like “tax” in Finnish (Vero, which I’m old Finnish is vvero)

In case anyone has any doubts this is just a troll arguing in bad faith, and just a terrible human in general (explains why they defend genocide):

The fact you just considered Gaza as part of Israel is telling.

But yes, that’s they’re goal. Or you can hear it from some members of their government themselves (linked articles contain linked sources as well)

And here’s detailed reports on why what is occurring is a genocide attempt:

Bro. I am an American living in Europe. I dont „work for netanyahu“

That’s even sadder. At least if you were paid there might be decent motive for your comments. Instead, it is just out of ignorance, willful or not.

Literally am anti USA to the point I left long ago, and have avoided US products as much as possible since before it was popular due to Trump.

However, again, the Iraq war has ended, and the USA was literally not sending Americans to permanently live in Iraq while killing every Iraqi possible.

Israel’s intent with Gaza is to wipe out Palestinians in Gaza entirely and make Gaza part of Israel.

And lastly, this whole argument is a strawman because this post was about Gal Gadot. But good try at derailment, troll. It failed this time so I guess you’ll get a pay deduction from Netanyahu. Or at least, I’d hope you weren’t so stupid to be doing this for free.

Either way, you’re a despicable human for trying to excuse genocide in any way, including whataboutism, and part of why humanity cannot advance further as a species. I can only hope you feel shame at yourself, for only through that would you have any redemption.

I don’t live in the USA, and boycott them too.

Either way, your argument is a strawman, because Israel is still actively committing genocide, and there’s multiple sources of evidence of Netanyahu also funding Hamas. It’s also incredibly unlikely one of the world’s top surveillance tech states, that was able to do a supply chain attack via beepers, was also blind sided by what happened October 7th.

And lastly, USA wasn’t seeking to colonize Iraq or even your disingenuous comparison to WW2 Japan - Israel has been building illegal settlements on the other hand for years.

She also served in the Israeli military.

I think also big news is how much the Left Alliance party grew as well this election

5/10 needs more spy pigeons

I’m not saying you should stop, but I am saying people like you are the reason pokemon is so bad these days.

Seriously, a real fan needs to have standards, otherwise you’re just a simp. Scarlet and Violet should have been the final straw - though sword and shield should have been better too…

Nah, Japan and Nintendo particularly has a big culture around physical ownership. That’s why they were so behind on an online store and why the current one is also bad - they don’t put an emphasis on it.

Even the game key cards are novel - it’s technically a way to sell digital copies of games via physical hardware, which no other company has ever done (I don’t think there’s any other big companies that offer you seem digital copies at all actually) - at least, while servers are around. You can even let friends borrow them.

Voyager. I’ve had the issue since always

They still come back

It wouldn’t, but I think that ship has sailed already. I don’t see how your current governmental structure would ever fix that. It’s been a problem since citizens united, if not before

Counterpoint - under the current administration, paying taxes might help Russia more

Perhaps you’ve had a rough childhood, but calm, chill people nether react like you do nor speak like you do.

Especially when it’s about a luxury product like a videogame. I get that you’re mad you can’t afford it - then simple - don’t buy it. I’m not buying it day one either because of the price, I just accept that I understand why they raised the prices.

Like I said, hope you get better.

Must suck to live with that much spite and anger, and not even do anything productive with it even.

Hope you get better.

Of course you, who looked into this, barely have any notice.

My point is the prices are down even with the increase.

Nintendo, unlike Xbox and Playstation, is also one of the few where if things go poorly the management takes pay cuts rather than cutting jobs, and takes risks that justify those reserves if things go really poorly (like the Wii U or GameCube).

And just as an example of how much lower the price of video games has come:

If you want to pirate because you can’t afford it go ahead - with how shitty things are in the world, especially the USA, I’m not against it. Heck, if you need a pristine 1st generation Switch (the one that’s super easy to hack without hardware modification) I’d be glad to sell you mine. I use my PC for modded gameplay anyway.

All I’m saying is the cheap game gravy train could only go on for so long, especially with ever increasing development costs. Nintendo has in part managed to keep those costs down because they’ve kept things at 1080p / 30 (or 24)fps for so long.

End of the day, your paycheck not keeping up with inflation is your country’s fault, not Nintendo’s. If you live in the USA, you’re definitely angry at the wrong people, since Japan isn’t the one doing tariffs and eroding your worker laws.
