Nintendo Has Everything to Prove Again in 2026 - Bloomberg>Nintendo Co.’s Switch 2 got off to a scorching start this summer>But those halcyon days now appear short-lived, as the company’s stock suffered its worst December in many years as doubts and concerns stirred, primarily around escalating component costs. >Nintendo now has to dust itself off, after giving up all the gains from a masterfully executed console launch, and prove itself all over again.>The surging cost of memory chip prices is turning the 12GB of RAM inside the Switch 2 into an anchor around Nintendo’s neck. Prices may well rise — Nintendo already hiked the cost of everything but the Switch 2 in the US — >But there’s a warning sign for Nintendo that emerged just as this year was closing: the Switch 2 lost its sales crown in the US to Sony Group Corp.’s PlayStation 5 in November. A combination of Sony’s pricing, games library and more powerful hardware for living-room play resonated better with American shoppers in the pivotal month for holiday sales, bumping the Switch 2 off the bestseller perch for the first time since it went on sale.Not looking great for Nintendo.
>>729859859>they are cheaper digitally and it's far less of a pain in the ass (and cheaper) than smuggling a physical copy out of japan through proxy resellersUntil Nintendo pulls the plug on the servers. Buying digital console games makes you a retard end of story(especially Nintendo). Also I am not gonna learn some gook language just to play some 3/10 Nintendo games for 20$ cheaper.

>>729860224>Until Nintendo pulls the plug on the serversYou can still download digital purchases on the fucking wii, and that was before they switched to hosting every on their own servers
>>729860224>Until Nintendo pulls the plug on the servers. Which has never happened so far, although old Nintendo consoles didn't have a proper account system so it's more likely that your Wii will break (thus eventually losing your games) before Nintendo ever pull the plug.>Buying digital console games makes you a retard end of story(especially Nintendo).You do own your digital games once you buy them and can redownload them any time you want even when they're delisted from the Eshop. It's no different from Steam on that aspect.
>>729859898>they are cheaper digitally and it's far less of a pain in the ass (and cheaper) than smuggling a physical copy out of japan through proxy resellersSeconding the other anon. Buying digital on Nintendo is moronic. They have and will kill those games/leave them behind to rot.
In defense of (ending spoilers)I fully support Maelle's ending, and I have personal experiences to back it up.Maelle/Alicia is mute, severely burned, missing an eye, suffering from severe emotional trauma, and possibly in somatic pain as well. Her brother is dead. And beyond that, erasing the painting means everything and everyone else she grew to care about will have also died. Yes, she can move on to the real world, but honestly, to what. The somatic pain and issues she deals with in the real world would also be immense.Speaking from personal experience, losing an eye and the ability to speak alone are terrible. There are more issues with losing an eye than you'd think, and not having the ability to consistently speak is horrible, and I can personally attest to that. Chronic pain can also be torturous, which I and may others know for a fact. And she has to deal with the emotional regards as well.It's a choice between an arduous life of suffering plus extra loss from the painting, or a life without the bad and with the good.If she can have time in the painting for her life — which may even be 100+ years — then honestly, it's worth it in my eyes. Yes, it would be very painful for Verso to have to see Maelle slowly die, but it's better than the alternative. Dealing with grief is hard enough on its own, but dealing with *everything* can be impossible, or at the very least, extremely painful for your entire life.
>>729856141tl;dr>Yes, she can move on to the real world, but honestly, to what.I get this, but the sad reality is that the world is bigger than Maelle. Simple as.I wish I could be there to save her, burned and mute and all, and surely somebody would. But even if not her suffering is small compared to the suffering of everyone else her false reality affects. Sometimes life just sucks fucking dick, and the lesson is that true goodness for the world is just rolling with the punches.
>>729858159My bad, I was kinda unclear. I'm absolutely not doubting that they're sentient. I was talking about Alicia's ending where she has supposedly brought them back.
>>729856141Very based.
>>729857612It actually makes complete sense that Maelle is the only one who can come back because she’s literally a painter, and the very cutscene they should’ve ended the game on makes it clear that Aline painted over Alicia to make Maelle. Renoir gommages Aline’s creations, i.e Maelle. But Alicia is not Aline’s painted creation, she’s real. It’s basically like Maelle is the texture and Alicia is the model.The thing that makes absolutely no sense however is Renoir gommaging all of Aline’s creations, except Verso, who is purely an Aline creation. Maybe you can hand wave this with the invincibility excuse, but no, Renoir starts gommaging Verso when Alicia is being told to fuck off and go home. Then she has just enough power to save Verso, fully restore Lune and Sciel, but not Gustave for some reason, then the zombie army of 33’s, and Renoir paints a 32nd expedition?It’s genuinely stupid as fuck. Act 3 makes no sense when you really examine it and just makes the game worse. Should’ve ended the game on the scene with Maelle being born. It wraps everything up perfectly.

Which Lovecraft gods would you like to fight against (boss battle) ?
>>729859956Have you ever watched the thing anon? (Das ding)
>>729859956It's usually not that simple, since Lovecraft definitely did describe things, but one thing is very simple. One of the most important aspects of cosmic horror is the indifference of the universe, and you can't have a boss fight against something that is so beyond your experience that it doesn't even have the capacity of considering your puny mind sentient. You would be harmless microbes to them at best.

She's type of girl to say it's not an incest because Verso is not her real brother, just a perfect copy that looks just like him, acts like him with all his memories, dreams, aspirations and values

Wonder if the Genestealer infested hive city will ever be playable. Maybe in like 3 years.
>>729850252I think preference for scifi vs fantasy and a more ranged vs a more melee focus is the big lynchpin for people. Personally I got bored of darktide because the maps are super samey, the characters are actually kind of shit, the story and setting are shit and the melee combat feels much easier than in vermintide. I played the preacher at the time with the chainsword. I don't know if the balance has changed that much since I played
>>729859185It would be another reskinned human faction with 1 new somewhat unique special and 1 boss lol

>>729859776>>729859853OT0 basically treats the non-story characters like Fire Emblem units. They cease to exist for most of the game other than in-battle, in your town, and (if they're lucky) their own SINGULAR quests and that's like 40% of less of them.
