@GameOtaku You just don't get it, do you? The level of selfishness and shortsightedness on display here is astounding. Look past your own navel.
Viruses don't care. They spread. They multiply. They devour their hosts. You can be a carrier and unknowingly infect dozens of people before you show a symptom. And those people will spread it to dozens more before they show a symptom. See how this works?
Who decides who is at high risk and never gets to leave their home, just so you can go to your neighborhood GameStop and buy another used RPG? You?
"...like being vaccinated and increasing their immune system..."
How, exactly?
You know what, never mind. You seem to know better than the CDC and WHO, so I guess we should all cater to your little desires and conveniences.
@GameOtaku Your attitude is childish, selfish, and based in ignorance. I assume you are a young, healthy person, as are most who say this is overblown, and feel the risk to you personally is low, even if you get sick. You can carry the virus for two weeks before you show symptoms. And it can be communicated to more vulnerable people, people who are more likely to die, before you know you have it.
The number of confirmed cases in New York City has grown by over 50% in a couple days. I use the word "confirmed" intentionally. The expectation by all epidemiologists is that the true number of infected across the planet is much higher than is able to be reported, as the medical community (in America, at least) doesn't have the resources to do their jobs. And they are at the gravest risk overall, being constantly exposed and not having basic equipment to protect themselves.
You need to learn the facts before you espouse and act on life threatening opinions and play it loose with others' health. But no, you want to be able to go to the mall and buy a d*mn video game.
Life has changed, and if you don't see it now, you will in a very short time.
With the two main characters acting toward the outside of the frame, the European cover provides a matte to contain the action and not let it visually run out of the center. And the darker colors hold the image together better, making it appear more cohesive. U.S. is close, though.
@Quantaur Thanks. I went right to the heart and just swapped it out a half hour ago. The replacement seems to be working, but I have to give it a stress test with some Mario Odyssey after it charges.
@YANDMAN Bummer. I must have lucked out, as they are a bit prone to that, at least the in first run. But I did get a slim as a backup and a second, used slim as a backup backup.
I dunno. I just bought a Switch and the TV screen goes black in docked mode, while my fat PS3 is still going strong after 10+ years. I'm surprised, as we haven't had a hardware issue with Nintendo before, after many console purchases.

And since I didn't see any compelling Switch sales, I of course am waiting until today to finally break down and buy one. My wife nudged me along. In preparation, we bought Mario Odyssey, Luigi's Mansion 3, and the Link's Awakening remake.
Protesters: Why isn't BotW (or any of the others) an RPG? Does it have to have numeric characteristics? A leveling system? An experience point system and skill tree?
People don't seem to be connecting that this is largely connected to his livelihood. Whether he cheated is pretty much irrelevant to the motivation for filing the suit.
