I've seen takes on this all over the Twitterverse, and my opinion is that... I'm going to wait until we have more information. I hate jumping on the outrage bandwagon about anything these days until I know more. Hard to know who is in the wrong yet.

Oh and I've done all the recommended cleaning although I'll certainly give it another shot.
Well I decided that if something was already wrong with it I might as well do a riskier cleaning. Turned it completely off and turned our vacuum up to max while using some attachments that really got into the vent. Played it again later that day and while the fan is still loud the grinding noise is gone, so going to hold off on repairs for now I think.

Always make the thread.
I didn't want to make the thread for the game. I likely won't buy it because this situation feels too awkward for me, and in the event I don't, I would rather not leave people with the implicit suggestion that I'm endorsing the game by being the person who created the thread. If me posting this topic here is a problem I'm sorry, I didn't know where else to put it.

Also since this has come up- If Taylor's version of the story is accurate, it doesn't necessarily mean that Jennifer Hale knew about it when she accepted the role. It wouldn't be fair to her to assume any ill intent on her part.

Hale has a post about how she's under an NDA and can't talk more, but I doubt she was aware of the circumstances. You don't bring on a new contractor with a spiel about how the previous one turned down the rate.

So...

Apparently the actual offer was $4000 per recording session, not total. Bouncing the actual number of $20,000 off my VA friend, her estimation of how good a deal that was altered to "Oh. She's a fucking moron, then," and a note that the ammount she asked for, with yet another zero on it, is a pay offer no voice actor has ever come close to getting for this sort of thing.

Surely, even if you don't feel qualified to talk about the game generally, this specific affair is worth its own thread.

Why would I make a thread about something I don't want to talk about?

I don't know that we needed yet another Rainbow Road but these all look good. I never played Mario Kart Wii and love all things autumn, so Maple Treeway is very appealing to me. Looking forward to this!

Yeah, most of these are new to me (having only played SNES, N64, GC, DS and 8), so I'm excited. There's more antigrav happening in these too, which is nice.

Two Switch games I was really hoping to get for Squishmas (Sonic Frontier and Persona 5) are currently on sale on Amazon as an early Black Friday sale.

However, they’re only offering physical copies and I’d prefer them digitally. And there’s no end date for them so I don’t know what kind of window I have to see if they go on sale on the eShop.

I am playing chicken with my wallet with lives on the line.

Specifically Sonic the Hedgehogs life; which is admittedly, one I would like to preserve.

Yeah, I waa hoping we'd see more anti-grav in later waves after the opportunity for wave 1 criticism to be fully absorbed

I was going to snag Persona 5, but they sold out of the $29.99 offer while I was still shopping...

It’s that time of year again;

did i do all of that?

I figured the Steam Deck killed a lot of Switch playing for me this year, and it was even worse than I thought - only 17 hours for all of 2022! Jeez. 12% of my Switch playing for the whole year was one night of playing the Turtles collection online with a buddy, and that's only because he doesn't have a Steam Deck. Wow.

I played all of these relatively recently, and I was surprised for a second before I remembered that I spent the vast majority of this year playing Elden Ring, and then a few other PS5 games, so for a while my Switch was primarily just my bedtime Picross machine, plus a series of shorter games. I wish it told me hours on each, though.

I'm way too lazy to download and reupload all the images so I can link them, but here's mine:

Most Played: Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes, Animal Crossing, Triangle Strategy
Played at Launch: Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes, Nintendo Switch Sports, Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope
3+ Years of Play: Animal Crossing, RingFit Adventure, Puzzle Bobble 2

Three Hopes coming out a few days after the surgery that had me bedridden while I recovered was so lucky.
