@Mr_NutterButter give it a couple of years and yeah, definitely hahaha
i don't want to wait a couple of years though xD

@koimoa @PurpCat i fucking LOVE mario kart, and MKW looks like something i will put hundreds of hours into. it's worth it for me! i do have an absurdly large backlog on PC too though lol. and a few on switch.

@PurpCat i have good credit so if it is priced more i'll probably pay the $500 original price and put whatever the rest is on the credit card and just pay it off over the next couple months or something.

i don't think it is likely that it actually increases in price though because vietnam and taiwan both agreed to go to 0%, which is where the majority of manufacturing for all of this stuff happens.

"WAAAAHHH MY SWITCH 2 IS GOING TO BE $650 WITH THE TRUMP TARIFFS AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO BUY IT!!!"

Okay dumbass, you still have a regular Switch and probably another console or PC too as well as a massive backlog. You do not need a Switch 2. It'll be a bummer you don't have one, but if you want one really bad maybe you can work a few extra days in the next couple of months and stop eating out so much.

A game console (with hardly any games at launch) being more expensive is an extremely small price to pay for the hopeful end goal of lowering prices and/or increasing the amount of money you make.

Who knows if the tariffs will actually end up being a good thing or a bad thing. I don't know. I'm not going to get my panties in a bunch about not being able to pre-order a game console though lmao that's some serious pansy shit.

@Ace66062 yeah that's what i was thinking, it seems like they really wanted to bridge the gap between casual and competitive players with something much easier to do and understand while also having a high skill ceiling with more variables to think about. amazing change.

Mario Kart World has a feature where you can charge a jump by holding the drift button and not moving the joystick far enough to initialize a drift. Once you jump, you can do a trick and get a speed boost. Pretty cool, actually! I dig it. Apparently, this can also be used to train tricks, so you can jump and do a trick and then trick in a place you'd normally be able to directly after. That's going to be insane.

@miinatsu @mischievoustomato yeah there are not that many options for free storage. you get what you pay for.

@miinatsu @mischievoustomato imgbb.com is what i always use for image uploads, and you can upload galleries, but i'm not sure how reliable it would be long-term.

you could also just make a burner account for google drive or dropbox. 2gb for dropbox and 15gb for google drive.

oh no the contrarian videos for switch 2 are already coming out

"The real golden rule is: do what you like as long as you do not impose your will upon other people. Hax had the will of other people imposed upon him, I had the will of other people imposed on me, and several other banned players in this room have had the TOs will imposed upon them. As long as you do not impose your will upon others, you should be able to plug in and play. The whole point of this game was to unite people. Hax was a proponent of that. He should have stayed plugged in. He should be plugged in right now and we should all be together but we're not. Hax, we're all gonna' miss you. Everybody feels the same way. We love you and we hope that what's happened here today will change things so this never happens again."
