If he’s been served it will have been documented, the court won’t have proceeded with the case if they don’t think the person named in the case has been served, so the fact that he didn’t turn up to court means he must have been served otherwise they wouldn’t have had the trial yet.


Loads of people seem to think that you can ignore a court summons by simply refuse to take it. Obviously that’s not how it works if you know that you have been served that’s enough. He would have to prove that he didn’t know he had been served which is pretty difficult.


If a leak causes damage to Nintendo’s marketing plans, then Nintendo shouldn’t have let it leak in the first place. That’s negligence on their part.

That’s not how the law works.

But your honour, he wasn’t even wearing body armour, it was so easy to shoot him. His murder is entirely his fault it shouldn’t have been that easy for me to do it.



I’m so unimpressed with their release lineup as well. They’ve just done the same thing they always do, and made a minority improved Mario Cart and a lackluster Pokémon game. Or, and a tutorial, don’t forget that.


It’s not about discussion. There isn’t two opinions here there is the fact they’re not doing that and me explaining why they’re not doing that.


It’s not more powerful than the steam deck.

The steam deck is a portable computer the switch can only play switch games. Those games are hugely expensive, and the price is controlled by nintendo who infamously never decrease their game prices even after 10 years.


But I repeat myself.

Seriously I just explained why they don’t have a choice, and you’re like, nah they’re still going to do it, even though I literally explained why that can’t happen. Did you even read my comment?


Unfortunately it appears to be in some ancient arcane language whose mysteries appear to have been lost to time.



Technically it isn’t.

The company has a price for the product, importers import the product at that price (sometimes the importer will also be the manufacturer, but that doesn’t actually make a difference as far as the calculation is concerned), then some official shows up and demands an import tariff, the important pays the tariff.

The shelf price is calculated as the total cost to the importer + a profit margin + sales tax. The tariff just gets lumped into the cost for the importer. Sales tax doesn’t make a distinction about how the price is arrived at.


It would be worth it if it cost $50. Of course it never would cost $50.

It would be worth it if it cost the same as the first switch and if the games weren’t so expensive. There is a price point at which it is actually a good value product, but it’s so far beyond that price point now, even without tariffs.



If they tried to spread the cost amongst everyone no one would buy the switch is already borderline unreasonably expensive. Limiting the price increase to only the tariffed country means they’ll only lose out on the American market not the everyone else in the world market, which is bigger.


Monopoly was around before pong.


Who’s going to buy that camera though? It’s only so you can talk to 3 other people, and none of the games that make use of it look any good.


Have you played the game because it really sounds like you haven’t. It sounds like you’ve just seen pictures and made an assumption

There is no gambling mechanic, other than matching poker suits there aren’t really any poker mechanics, there are no other players.


You don’t gamble anything though. Have you even played the game


That’s why I didn’t pick Minecraft, Civ has a story mode and KCD is all about its story, just like GTA.




I don’t want that kind of pricing to be encouraging because if we’re paying per hour of campaign then Civ would be $6K and even something like Kingdom Come Deliverance would be $400

I don’t have that kind of money.


I thought it was a command that you could launch steam with that would give you access to older versions. I’m sure I have done that when trying to mod GTA and it needed a particular version.


Wait so currently you can’t install previous versions of games you only get the most up-to-date version. That’s daft to expect people to pay for, that’s a free feature on Steam.




I just want trains to work in this new game. They never make trains work properly they’re always just indestructible juggernauts and are therefore boring. GTA V had submarines but not drivable trains.


Even if I was a millionaire I wouldn’t want my games to have micro transactions in them. It’s not about the cost, it’s about the fact that as soon as micro transactions are included in the game, the game instantly becomes all about pushing those microtransactions, to the detriment of the gameplay.

Also you are mad if you prepare to pay $100 for GTA VI especially because we all know that it’ll be discounted at some point.


If PEGI tried this kind of thing I’m pretty sure the general public would linch them. Fortunately with Steam there can be completely ignored these days anyway.


There’s absolutely zero reason to pre-order the bonuses you get are never worth it and it’s not like they’re going to run out. Hell I didn’t pre-order GTA V and I got it day one on both PS3 and Xbox 360 but just walking into a store on lunch time. And that was a physical media now everything’s gone digital is even less reason to pre-order.

So I’ll not be pre-ordering regardless, but I wouldn’t be pre-ordering anyway because I don’t trust Rockstar anymore. I’m not saying that the game will be bad I’m just saying I don’t trust Rockstar fully anymore. I also don’t trust CDPR anymore because of cyberpunk. Yeah they fixed it but so what, I don’t want to be encouraging that kind of release strategy. Same thing with hello games, If they want people to go back to buying their games by default, these companies have to release some whoppers with zero issues day one to get back their reputation.


You hope you’ll get those things. It’s Rockstar though so who really knows. I mean we do know we’re going to get a single player that’s been confirmed by Rockstar but everything else is just a guess. The map leak people seem to suggest that the map will include NASA and Disneyland which will be cool I guess, but we don’t know that that’s just a prediction and I don’t quite understand how they can predict that.

I just don’t trust Rockstar not to screw it up with GTA online 2, now with more irritating flying bikes


I’m not quite sure why they’re so concerned. I suspect they’re actually not and this is just things “analysts” say.

I suspect that the release of GTA VI is going to be lukewarm compared to the release of GTA V, because everyone remembered what Rockstar did to GTA V. People are going to wait around and see how they handle GTA online because they need to do better than last time because last time was ridiculous.

I’m certainly not all that interested in getting it day one and I know a lot of other people aren’t either.


A little shuttlecraft wouldn’t be big. I’m just saying that they should give themselves the options to expand.


I don’t mind them having themed sets based on popular IP it’s just I wish they would do some larger sets.

Personally I dropped some serious cash on the Lego USS Enterprise, hell they could even do Lego Expense, why are they doing boring small scale stuff?


the games and cards are fuelled by nostalgia and gambling addictions.

MTG IS THE GOAT.

You flip-flopped real fast on your principles there I see.



I will never understand Nintendo.

They make a console that is underpowered but is still marketable because of its uniqueness, then they make first party games that require better performance than the console can deliver.


According to the dwarf fortress developer the hard part isn’t the code exactly it’s the graphics which is why he doesn’t bother with them.


I’ve read from a few people who’ve done similar sorts of things that the solution to this problem is to just have everything track everything to begin with. Hunger level, heart rate, mood, everything you can possibly think of to track, and then just have everything else inherit from that global class. A lot of the values will be zero for some objects, but that’s okay, after all a storage crate doesn’t need a mood, both at some point in the future maybe you want to add an emotional box, and your code will definitely handle it now. Otherwise you have to go back in and alter everything every time you make a slight change.


Yes that was the bug. After all it makes sense that cats would clean their paws and get a bit of alcohol in their bodies. Kind of bizarre to think though that the system was sophisticated enough to track grooming behavior but not quantity.

It really goes to show how stupid computers actually are. They just follow your instructions regardless of how insane they may be
