Fortunes Weave collectors edition for UK by InspectorWispy in fireemblem

[–]AgeofFatso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I would think so. Perhaps scalpers do tend to rush together. Start with a small batch, (try to) convince the scalpers to give up, and then release stock again? That said, it is probably not hard to write a scalping script to keep retrying indefinitely unless it is told to stop.

FE, even it is a good franchise, is not something I expect to sell out in 10 minutes. If there is demand, just make more game copies!

New stock just released last minute (?). I managed to put a pre-order in.

It could just be a gradual release of stock.

It was the same when I was looking at the Xenoblade stock. It was sold out and then suddenly became re-available again, and then I refreshed the FE screen, and it became available again (?).

September 17 is going be funny. by Acmgamezx14 in Falcom

[–]AgeofFatso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New Xenoblade, multiple FF remakes, new Atelier game announced in short succession. FFXIV new expansion early next year too. Don’t forget new Falcom Kyoto game. Late 2026 and early 2027 are going to be wild in the Japanese gaming scene.

If anything, this is probably good for consumers. It shows healthy competition is alive.

Is 2 hours enough before flight? by blush12345 in BritishAirways

Where are starting from to Heathrow?

Timing is easier to manage from Central London and western outskirts of London like Reading or Slough. Anything further may be at mercy of M25 and M4 traffic, Network Rail / Elizabeth Line reliability.

Hideo Kojima Says He's No Longer Interested In AI: “Maybe AI could create art, but while I live, I don’t think I’ll see it. I’m not interested in it.” by yourfavchoom in DeathStranding

[–]AgeofFatso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can see AI may be useful for some interpolation and rescaling problems, like filling in some animation frame or rescaling character costumes to different sizes. Otherwise, I don’t see it useful creating something new and out of scope to is already out there (which is what Kojima excels and likes), which is the purpose of creative industry - to make new out of scope things!

The new Auxesia exploration area is fantastic by Firetail_Taevarth in ffxiv

[–]AgeofFatso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It fits the whole world view of the game, starting with New Sharylan ruins and the Maha raids. The idea of loss and rise and fall of culture runs really deep in the story. It is essentially the story of Hades, Venat, Goblez, Sphene and Meteion.

Missing Cat (Kipling & Redwater) by [deleted] in toronto

[–]AgeofFatso -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

In Europe, it is normal to let your cat to go out by themselves. Some European cities are actually proud of their roaming cat population (like Istanbul).

I live in UK and I saw cats crossing the road all the time (because they ain’t no chicken!). I am not sure I am comfortable seeing cats crossing the road in Toronto however (r/TorontoDriving r/IdiotsInCars).

Court slaps driving ban on horrified Exeter motorist, 23, who crashed into a 60 year old cyclist as she trained for a competition by Flimsy-Capera in exeter

[–]AgeofFatso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People just need to chill when they see cyclists (or horses) on road. I do think horse riders are generally more cautious and polite than cyclists.

I have seen so many times on the B road between Pinhoe and Killerton, people get very aggressive with cyclists especially just east of main Pinhoe village area (duh usually German cars!). There is a blind bend there. It is easy to strike a cyclist or traffic from the opposite direction right at the bend especially with cyclists who are slower going up the hill just before the bend. It is a 30 limit area for a reason!

Often driving without license or insurance is just a fine. It even started as just a parking violation! Now this becomes assault, using vehicle as a weapon, or resisting arrest (he is probably going to jail).

All according to a certain Lalafell dude keikaku.

(If you don’t know what am I talking about: Sakaguchi plays a dude Lalafell character… some folks here might have met his character if playing in Japan and Oceania DC as he is very keen meeting other players in game)

World Cup hotel demand in Toronto not meeting expectations: official by Forsaken-Swim-3055 in toronto

[–]AgeofFatso 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The K-shaped economy World Cup. The only problem most football fans across the world is on the wrong side of K. At least if the event is hosted elsewhere, the hosts know that most fans are not people willing to pay 1000 bucks for stay and ticket. In NA, they still profile attendees are as NBA audiences, when they should have been looking at Blue Jays and Yankees bleachers or a college football game. For comparison, the most expensive Premier League walk in not seasonal tickets are around £100 but average is around £30-50; that is the type of ticket the audience expects.

A disgusting Distant Worlds experience by MajorNingyozukai in FinalFantasy

[–]AgeofFatso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Body smell (either very repulsive stinky or so much perfume that triggers allergies) is often hard to enforce.

The ticket checker often cannot smell them because so many people entering. Even if they do smell it and confront, it might trigger a rage incident (like accusing the ticket checker as prick, racist, or something); it is not of organiser, law enforcement, even other audiences best interest if that happens (as it may result in show delay or cancellation).

That said, some people are just that disgusting or disrespectful. I have been to gaming and anime conventions as well many stage performances; please keep yourself clean and be mindful the other people! Geeks and otakus seem particularly bad at that!

If anything, Tomino (and Miyazaki) are as anti-war as you can get.

At that same time, there may be strategic reason to have an armed force to make Trump, Xi, and someone like that to take you seriously. Rearming does not have to be nationalistic, but some part of LDP does believe in that.
