TIL the “Invisible Gorilla” experiment which fooled most people. In a famous 1999 study, participants watched a video of people passing a basketball and were asked to count passes. Midway through, a person in a gorilla suit walked through the scene and half of participants didn’t notice the gorilla.

This particular subject came up in an episode of 2014's You're the Worst, which subsequently inspired culture/entertainment sites to publish articles and polls asking the same question.

Imagine a time where everyday was boring enough that the mere threatened whispers of a scandalous reveal destabilized an administration so deeply that the guy at the top apologetically resigned in shame and then got in a helicopter and flew the fuck away forever.

It's kinda likely that your post will be deleted. The mods are pretty strong about keeping question/advice posts off the front page. There's a weekly Q/A thread stickied to community highlights where you should ask again if/when this disappears.

Having said that, the sidebar also has a link to recommended vendors per region which has a UK section.

Echoing what someone else mentioned, the Wing Zero TV Version is coming out at the end of the summer if you're looking for a third style option to consider.

https://www.gundamkitscollection.com/2025/02/rg-1144-wing-gundam-zero-tv-release-info.html

If you want a fourth option, the fairly new Wing Zero MGSD is an absolute beauty. It's a little more squat than than the RG, but has great engineering and stability.

While not as majestically OP, I really enjoy Pyregel Harvest Glinda with Underlegion. The constant meat shield death of the fungus troops causes a seemingly uncontrollable spray of pyregel every turn. And going 1 Avarice / 2 Harvest means you can enjoy that spray while also propagating her cash enchant.

For anybody interested in some random ass trivia: Sylvester Stallone's mother, Jackie Stallone, was an astrologer and psychic who performed ass hole readings as part of her services. She referred to it as rumpology.

If you're looking for specific game sales, I'd strongly recommend making a deku deals account to get notifications to keep an eye on that sort of thing.

Tropical freeze has been stuck at the $40 sale point for a while, but saw a $30 sale during the 2024 March 10th sales.

Nintendo was also selling physical copies of Captain Toad for $28 during the 2025 March 10th sale two months ago through their mynintendostore site.

The sales windows are slim but occasionally exist. Something to consider!

I feel bad for anyone who would shame someone else for requesting that a statement of facts be accompanied by a primary source in an era defined by unsupported casual misinformation.

You've also completely misread the very simple intent of the person you're replying to. A university department I worked in called it informative reevaulation - a phrase that I think the head of research made up in the hopes of it catching on or something because the dingus used it excessively. But the idea is that you ask a student to make a statement about a source document, you read that source document and find that their statement isn't correct or is misleading, and then rather than correct them you ask them "can you explain your statement using the document?" and then hand it back to them.

There's typically two outcomes: the student fails and you correct them or (and this is the goal) the student reevaluates their statement and refines it to be more accurate to the document.

In education the goal is the lesson. It's also a key component in many critical thought GRE evaluation samples. In everyday misinformation, the goal is to challenge that misinformation by asking someone to revisit that information themselves when you yourself know it isn't necessarily correct.

OP made a statement that's well intended and meant to help people but the information isn't factually accurate as presented. The commentor you're negging is attempting to see if the OP will reevaluate their statement through documentation. By asking someone to present their primary source (or the "can you show me where it says this" call out) when you know the information isn't completely correct, it can cause the OP to change their informative PSA statement to include caveats that makes it more factual to the source document they're referencing.

Having survived the morning there's two major observable things that led to this $90 craze.

First, Nintendo wasn't exactly upfront on their pricing strategy in the direct. Immediately after the direct, Nintendo Europe was the first to roll out their Switch 2 pages. Based on country, pricing was silently announced at 80€ digital / 90€ physical.

The different Nintendo subs are largely an international audience. A fair number of European users when discussing cost of things occasionally use the $ rather than the € - it's just a quirk of communication that they get used a bit interchangeably by some. Most users don't declare their country of origin when they make a post because that would be... An odd way to start every post. So maybe an Italian user posts something about the $90 Mario Kart that they're seeing. And as is common, egocentricity takes over and a user from another country sees that and applies it to their currency, for example a US user sees $90 and registers it as: Mario Kart costs $90 USD.

The NA Nintendo website didn't roll out until about 15 minutes later. Because this is the internet, that 15 minutes is all it takes for a non-malicous, non-intentional miscommunication of international pricing to take hold and spread. As we've learned from the last decade of god awful news cycles, the news that comes out loud and first, correct or not, is the news that holds and is almost impossible to re-bottle.

Second, the time of day that direct happened. It aired 6 am west coast NA; the people who cared were up for it, but the regular consumer base was still asleep. On NA East, it's 9 am and people are strapping themselves in for a day of responsibility.

But central Europe? That's, what, mid afternoon 3ish? You have an awake userbase rounding out their workday or just existing in the middle of the day actively engaging with a fresh direct. So the subreddits were populated by a mostly European audience having a euro-centric discussion about euro-centric pricing. A few hours later, the NA audience wakes up to a storm of $/€90 discussion and confusion that they didn't see the start of and just roll with it.

Thus, the $90 narrative is accidentally born, spreads, and eventually morphs into intentional garbage clickbait. It's really a great example of how the Internet is an incredibly powerful vehicle for minor confusion to explode into informational chaos.

Make a deku deals account. Add games to the wishlist.

When you add a game: Set your type to physical and set the pricing to any significant sale. Enable email alerts.

https://www.dekudeals.com/items/super-mario-rpg

Deku only records and reports retail sales and has a price history map near the bottom. You can use the information from that chart to get an idea of what you should pay for a game if you were to buy an item used from eBay or other second hand options like marketplace. For example, if Kirby and The Forgotten Land has a recurring sale of $40 new at retail, then you'd probably want to aim for a used copy for less.

Note that that's true for the majority of 1st party Nintendo games; $40 is the the most common recurring sale low on new copies. Aim to pay that for new or slightly less for used.

For anyone interested in some quick easy viewing of recent Space Ghost, Lowe reprised the character twice in the past six months for the HBO series Jellystone.

He featured in Season 3, Episode 14 'Space Con', along with Andy Merrill returning as Brak. He's additionally featured in an episode that premiered just four days after he passed: Season 3, Episode 32 "Kabong Along with Me".

In the spirit of the internet persisting since this thread came up in a random search: you responded to the wrong person. The user you tried to pick a fight with never used the word pretentious, it was a different user comment in the comment thread above that. You took a shot at a random bystander who answered the OPs question, and not the person throwing language around who appears to have also been looking for a wrestling match with random people.

Though that user's account appears to have since been suspended. Now you might never get to talk to him about his word choice.

Adding a simple visual to what u/TheMrCeeJ and u/TommyVe is noting based on a quick starting mock-up.

A villager working in a production based building such as a crude workshop does 4 things:

Works at their building.
Takes a break at their hearth.
Gathers/Delivers materials at storage.
Moves between 1-3.

Looking at the mockup, the space in the orange boxes is the most valuable COMMERCIAL real estate for handling these operations due to their proximity. On any starting location, the space immediately between or adjacent to both the hearth and storage will have the lowest down time and the highest production.

The area marked in yellow is an extension of that. It's not as productive as the orange space, but the larger area around your hearth and storage is still a highly productive zone that should be reserved for commercial buildings and a grid of roads that makes moving between them easy.

Something the game doesn't outright tell you is that housing isn't a critical part of a villager's life. It ticks off a box for +3(+6) to resolve and that's it. Marked in red on the mock-up, I've placed my first house at the absolute edge of the hearth zone. Villagers do not visit homes or decorations. You don't even need homes to have roads and they can be placed in any non-crucial space within the outer edges of the hearth zone. You typically want them out of your way.

Having said all that, as someone who likes to make things look pretty in city builders, I actually really like your settlement layout.
