Re: Pokémon Pokopia Switch 2 New Pre-Order Bonus Revealed (US)

@rvcolem1 they do it every week in Queensland. For a domestic midstrength beer, it ain't half bad all told.

Also, @Liam_Doolan, I know JB HiFi down here is also including the plant DLC with preorders, wouldn't be surprised if others are too. And given EB is, well, EB, I don't doubt there's a few readers who actively avoid that particular retailer and may appreciate a more accurate guide here.

@Anti-Matter you have the right to give your opinion about GKC, we have the right to give ours, and we also have the right to say what we think about yours as we do so. And just personally, your inability to take criticism on the issue renders your opinion pretty moo (iykyk). It's not expected that you'll change your mind, but if your response is to shout about your "rights" whilst dismissing every one else, well, that isn't a long bow to draw, is it?

Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.5.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

@KociolekDoSyta I didn't count expats either. All 3 of those launguages have people who have that language as their mother tongue (like you and Polish) in a number larger than their country. Logically, they have to have people outside of their country that speak it, which especially makes sense for French as their empire is still so large that the sun hasn't set on it, much like it hasn't set on the British one. I'm not trying to diminish the achievement and how excited you are for it, but you definitely need a better comparison as you compared apples and watermelons before.

And as for nothing standing in the way of localising all games for everyone, I'd argue that the ideal it's aiming for should be the norm, but very much disagree with there being nothing standing in the way of that happening. It takes more than just waving a wand and saying "localise".

@KociolekDoSyta all three of these languages have more people who have it as their first language than they have people within their borders. Poland has more people within its borders than there people on the planet who speak Polish as their first language. So, no, all 3 do have countries that use the language outside of their respective countries. Fun side note: the sun still hasn't set on the French Empire.

Re: EB Games Is Closing Some Stores In Australia This Month

@SuntannedDuck2 my friend, you need to brush up on our businesses down here. Target and Kmart are owned by the same company, target is getting downgraded so as to stop stealing sales from Kmart (people spend more, and more frequently, at Kmart). Bi lo never went away, the stores just became Coles, much like how Safeway become Woolworths in parts of the country around the same time. And Myer is still rattling along just fine. They'd be doing better if the C suite would stop making bone headed decisions, but they're not suffering terribly like some other retailers such as David Jones are.

Re: Cowabunga! TMNT Roguelike 'Splintered Fate' Is Heading To Switch 2 Next Week

Has this update ended up being free...? I ask as there's nothing in the store, the file size on my device is bigger, and I think it looks better, but I can't be certain on the latter as I only played it until after the first foot clan encounter in the tute as it was horrible then and I don't think that means I'm qualified enough to speak on it now. Especially cos the main characters are still somewhat blurry.
