New England? There's an entire Pennsylvania and New York between Ohio and New England.

Don't forget that Crunchyroll is also owned by Sony, who have basically picked up a monopoly on anime streaming services by buying out all of the competition. Aniplex, Funimation, Crunchyroll, Kadokawa, all under the Sony umbrella.

For this one, I think it's nothing quite as exciting, basically just what you'd expect.

Guessing that column is truncated "Allergies," though I'm not sure if the exclamation point means that they have a major allergy or maybe their allergy information wasn't recorded yet.

Just not to worry about them, explaining a bit more about their relationship with their producer.

Nintendo raised the price of the Switch 1 and most of their accessory products in the US and Canada in May for Canada and August for the US.

This was following price increases for Nintendo Switch Online in Latin American countries which started in January. Nintendo has not raised prices of the subscription globally, but in their press releases about increased costs of hardware, they state that "price adjustments may be necessary in the future" for NSO, presumably after evaluating trends when the free trial period of GameChat ends for Switch 2 early adopters in March 2026.

And I know you said you don't care about Sony, but just to share sources, Sony has already increased the price of their hardware in Japan in August 2024; Europe, Australia, and New Zealand in March; and the US in August of this year.

This was following earlier price increases in 2022 for Canada, Japan, Europe, Australia, and Mexico.

Sony also increased the cost of PS+ in North America, Europe, and Japan back in 2023, more recently for Southeast Asia back in April, and there are rumors of another upcoming price increase to be announced at some point now that we've entered FY2026.

So all of this is just to illustrate that what Microsoft is doing isn't really anything new—it's just the latest development in a continuing industry-wide trend.

Raising the price of hardware twice since May and now raising the price of game pass by 50% is not something a company does if they're interested in competing against Sony or Nintendo.

But when Sony and Nintendo are doing the same thing...?

Don't worry, the games industry has you covered on that now. They just release games that are broken or half-finished without the day 1 patch, but then allowing it to update removes all of the licensed content.

Hard to tell with chicken. I could imagine biting into that and it still being juicy.

Seems a bit weird to do that in a completely unrelated community as well as in the part of posts that people usually use for alt text.

I liked him in Super with Rainn Wilson. It wasn't a perfect movie but I thought his performance was fine and it was a fitting movie to anticipate the Marvel saturation in the coming years (which director James Gunn would eventually actively participate in).

I also thought he was fine in Inception. Not the standout performance of the movie but I didn't walk out thinking "ugh, Elliot Page really gunked that up" or anything, and he apparently worked well enough with Christopher Nolan to get brought back in for The Odyssey.
