Was that in The Diamond Age?

Ah, I see your girlfriend plans like me! I don't have a partner to offload the planning to, so that's how I feel on every trip I make, lol. On my last trip I went to the wrong airport! (I still made my flight after taking an Uber to the correct airport, somehow.)

If so many people need a place to smoke, why not create a designated smoking area?

Ah, well the figures in the article aren't based on any grey market stuff, so you'd have to look somewhere else to find out what the ISK-to-USD conversion looks like.

I was under the impression that you could only put real money into the game, not get it out.

You can spend real money to buy pilot license extensions (PLEX), which can be redeemed by the holder for subscription time. You don't have to redeem it right away, and PLEX can be sold to other players. So there is a USD to ISK exchange rate based on the market value of PLEX, but you can't turn PLEX back into dollars.

It has always been the Department of War. Renaming it to "Defense" was a psyop to justify the "defense" budget.

They are really making it hard not to say "Silksong was the best game of 2025, and it was $20, and the DLC is going to be FREE" every time almost any other game announces its pricing, aren't they?

All/Top 6 hours.

"The police are questioning their son" and "Their son killed them" are two very different things. I'm very curious what their "sources" told them.

I don't think that's really the same. The repackaging of Wii U games was because the Switch's install base was several times larger than the Wii U's, so they could sell them to people who had never played them before. The "Switch 2 Edition" updates are a way to try to extract some extra money from people who already played the games, but they're not going to fulfill the same strategic goals as, say, Mario Kart 8 DX, partly because they aren't going to sell as much, and partly because most of the people who buy them will already own the game and therefore only pay the upgrade price. I think from a strategic standpoint they're basically filler.

I'm sure they'll make one eventually. They don't have anything else in exactly the same niche, and ACNH was incredibly popular. This seems like the kind of update you put out to make sure people keep the brand in mind while your next title is still too far out to announce.
