It sounds like they basically made Metroid Prime: Skyward Sword, complete with the empty and unnecessary overworld and dungeon backtracking.
Still baffled they haven't made 2 & 3 available anywhere though.

Magpies are really smart, it's introducing you to the younger one as a reliable human that may provide food.
My parents old place had one that did same with its mate and babies, would walk up to the window to look in for my mum (she would regularly put out birdseed for them and scare away cats)

Got what they deserved, never give an LLM unfettered access to anything important.

I wish they'd publish another run of Tunnel to Summer in print in the US, I want to own a copy but the cheapest ones available are $80+ or are pirated copies from Singapore.

Your mind is going to be blown when you find out there's actually 11 of them (potential 7-Eleven conspiracy?!)

Oath of the Marketing Executive you mean, I doubt most good Software Engineers think this is acceptable.

If you're looking for other recommendations, I find Brian Lagerstrom's stuff really good. Practical home recipes that tend to come out really great, with a lot of little tips and tricks to save time or improve the outcome.

Ethan's stuff is great, lots of interesting deep dives and blind tests and so on. I really dig that more science based approach and I think he's one of the best on the platform for this sort of content.

Guarantee you not a single actual Japanese speaker was in the room when marketing decided on this.

No, because that gives you an excuse for a whole ramen bracket as well.

China, North Korea, Russia and Iran are basically the Four Horsemen of the APT Apocalypse. Iran and North Korea both punch way above their weight class.

30% would be doing insanely well for most industries.
The problem is the investor class and the MBAs that feed them who all think that because Fortnite, Roblox and the like have insane margins, there is just infinite money lying around and everyone else can bottle the same lightning.

Checking because the different games and versions of the franchise get really confusing, all four of the games included in this have been previously released in English on Steam as well, right?

Really looking forward to this one, was at Pax West last year and one of the standouts for me.

In fact the Switch 2 does run it marginally better - the resolution scales back less aggressively - but the point is that there are zero Switch 2 optimizations despite the hardware being more than capable of running it *significantly* better, and despite it being a game released only months before.

What I mean is that "acceptable performance" is very much a perception thing. It struggles to maintain a locked 30fps and it uses a lot of dynamic resolution scaling. Switch 1 struggles to run it.
Switch 2 is far more capable and should run it better, but it can't because the limits are baked in.

What would actually constitute "papers" in this case? Green card? Photo of green card?
And then I guess the follow-up question is, what "papers" would an actual citizen need to present if stopped in same situation? Americans are not normally carrying a passport or birth certificate...

If often running at sub-30 fps or dropping the resolution to postage stamp sized is running "very well" then sure.
It runs better than XC2 I guess.

Anyone thinking of getting this for Switch 2 should know there's currently still no upgrade despite it coming out less than a year ago, so it is still FPS and resolution capped and generally runs no better than it did on Switch 1.
