With the tariffs, prices aren't going down across the board. Besides, $450 is still cheaper than the competition.
1) I'm not from the US, its around the same price or more expensive in EU/UK/Canada (cheaper in Japan tho)
If it was like especially expensive only in the US then I'd agree its only down to tariffs
2) I'm not actually bothered by the console's price, it's a lot but I mean ps5 Pro was like $700, switch is claiming it can do 4k 120fps this is what consoles cost
But when I say "switch 2 is expensive" it's not just the box itself. Ppl expected the big games to go up to 70 dollars but $80 for Mario kart?? In this economy???
Not to mention how many new features are only useful if you buy Nintendo switch online, the requirement for special SD cards, the paying to upgrade your switch 1 games to the switch 2 version (I'm not as bothered by this one as long as the price isn't too high but like it adds up...)
Also that switch 2 tour demo thing costing money at all??
[Insert the section of the Jenny Nicholson Star Wars Hotel video where she explains that you shouldn't charge luxury prices if you're going to use the Spirit Airlines nickle and diming approach to pricing]
I don't even remember if the Nintendo Kinect camera is sold separately or not
3) what they showed us was cool but tbh there's nothing i couldn't live without (especially if you don't have NSO like me, so even that cool looking Mario kart wouldn't be something I pick up)
It looks good... if you pick it up in a year's time when there's more games
I'm not an economist or trying to suggest a grand protest
I was just giving my thoughts on the direct "that's neat, now let's wait until its a better deal"
One of my current favourite things about the gnosia fandom is that Raqio is popular... But ppl never forget how consistent they're a jerk to everyone. Like I've seen multiple ppl affectionately call them "the asshole"
So now one of my worries for the upcoming anime is that bc a viewer is more limited than a player and the fandom will expand, these two things will cause Raqio to be popular.... at the expense of ppl imagining/writing them way too cinnamon roll-y and forgetting even when they try to help ppl they're doing it through this asshole filter
Like we'll see arguments where a raqio 'fan' is upset at another fan for thinking they'd be meaner about something
#gnosia#raqio#raqio gnosia#this is especially true if we get to see more of Raqio's character in the anime#anime onlys won't get the interactive first hand experience of trying to be friendly then realising even the best hang out at night nonevent#has them try to get you to help them with research and ends with them telling you to go away

Anyway I cannot believe Gnosia the video game (highly recommend!) is getting an anime with an original protagonist. Or that the G isn't silent.
What do you mean the G isn't silent??
So see how underneath the title GNOSIA is some Japanese characters? These are the characters グノーシア and they show that it is pronounced 'gu nou shi a' that is to say, with a Hard G sound
This is because 'gnosia' comes from 'gnosticism' which is from the greek word γνωστικός/gnōstikós and thus is a loanword to both Japanese and English
As part of anglicisation, it was made to follow the 'silent G' rule so is pronounced Nosticism (whereas the related word 'agnostic' which had an a at the start meant the g sound was unaffected)
But Japan doesn't have the letter G let alone rules about silent letters (devoicing certain vowel sounds is a thing but its different so shh) so it got brought over as グノーシス主義 Gunoushisu shugi (shugi is a japanese word meaning doctrine/ism so this is literally 'gnosis-ism' aka gnosticism)
TL;DR Every time they say 'gnosia' in the upcoming anime, expect to hear Gunosia with a pronounced G
"Gnosticism" had a "G" in the original Greek?
so idk much about greek but I tried looking it up and γνωστικός generally seems to be pronounced with a g like Goo-nosti-kos (sometimes a bit softer it sound more like oo-nosti-kos)
which is kinda similar to japanese グ/gu

Just to clear something up, Haruka entered milgram with basic literacy skills. He could read (though it's unclear if he ever needed help) and write (completely in hiragana and some kanji, like he knows 母 but has difficulty drawing more complex kanji like 遥 [the kanji in his name] and writes words like 僕 in hiragana when they're usually kanji)
This does suggest that his reading/writing level is probably lower than expected for his age (or at least he struggles with fine motor skills used in writing more complicated kanji)
Now recently I've seen a couple people say something along the lines of "Muu helped Haruka learn to read"
I need to correct this because it's a misremembering of events
Haruka wasn't super close to Muu during his T1 interrogation she was someone who "talked to him sometimes"
Meaning he probably answered his first set of questions without much help from her
The real changes in T2 were: his answers got longer (due to the inno vote helping to improve his mental state making communication easier) and the handwriting improved
Handwriting is what people thought she helped him with but we don't have solid evidence beyond "they hung out a lot, his handwriting got a but cuter and it'd be a fun idea"
Muu may have helped him or he mightve practiced on his own or with the help of someone else
I think it's a neat idea it's just not the same as "Haruka was illiterate until Muu taught him everything"
And repeating made up stuff is how misinformation spreads in fandom
