Oh yikes, that's stupid expensive. Definitely not worth the cost. I think it'll get harder for me to not buy if they release a new Animal Crossing or Zelda, but honestly even then it's not worth buying a whole console for 2 games. Probably just have to play them by other means :P

Doom: The Dark Ages, for example, is CDN$89.99 on Steam currently. Cost of living has gone insanely haywire in Canada honestly, we're getting price gouged left, right, and centre, and every company seems to be pushing their prices up because people just keep paying up. It's really frustrating.

Yeah I've already bought 10 games and a DLC... And spent less than $100 doing so! :P

Nintendo is right out to lunch on these price hikes. The Switch and its games were already stupid expensive, and then they jacked them up even more for Switch 2. I usually buy Nintendo consoles and games but I've been priced out of the new console. I'm not going to spend $110 + tax on one game when I could get like 5 decent games on my PC for that price, heck more even with sales.

I'm honestly surprised at the amount of people willing to pay these prices. I'm so sick of corporate greed.

Also sometimes it's unavoidable without workarounds. It shouldn't be crazy to expect to buy a product that works and works well without it spying on you. Why should companies get the right to continue to collect data and generate more profit off of an item the consumer owns. Why should consumers have to give up their right to privacy so that a company can make obscene profits off of their information?

I don't recognize it or the guy in it, that's why I didn't think it was New Girl. It's probably from something I haven't seen.

I don't think it's from New Girl... Do you remember which episode?

This is in Canada, insurance would not have been a roadblock.

makes sense, i was a little worried when i saw a pencil in the booth but this makes me feel better.

I had to shut it off after 10 minutes because of this, I could feel my blood pressure going up.

I have never once in my life thought about owning a gun. I hated the idea of ever having one in my home. Now I'm kind of wondering if I should get one in the event the US does invade...

My guess is lots and lots of bribery.
