David pulling out the notebook was great. I appreciate the little details that show off a video gamer’s passion.
Also, I hope Blue Prince continues to capture the audience and is able to carry itself nicely into people’s goty lists at the end of the year

a 5 dolor increase would about make sense if its about tariffs but 20 percent or more is greed

I think 7th Guest deserves to be mentioned alongside Myst and Riven, especially given Blue Prince’s haunted-mansion vibes (both released 1993).

so this is the issue I see with Nintendo… the prices they showed and advertised beforehand (example amiibo, 20 for each of the new Zelda ones and 30 for the street fighter) and then just today they went up 10 dolor a pop! No agree with but can see some increases do to tariffs but 20 percent increase is wild and the main problem is that the original price that was set was to high to begin with!!! 30 dolor amiibos, they are not even special features or effects and you only get one each. this is greed and then tariff sprinkled on top
