Gilt für alle Tickets die man so kaufen kann auch für nächstes Jahr.

@snow hoi snow

@Johann150 good mine is not in the kitchen

@sun @aetios just use it lots before bringing it

@aetios I totally get where you are coming from for sure.

I mean in reality it is a really cheap switch 2 for sure. So those would be scalped for sure. Even exported they would be super cheap and one could easily flip them here for a profit given you would buy them in bulk.

Just seems super hostile.

But thank you for the perspective at least. One would think in japan it would be not problematic to get one. In Europe it seems you can get them easy but they generally expensive

@rick though the japanese-only model is just way cheaper than our normal ones. Its like extra cheap

@aetios @sun the fact that one checks does not make it legal. Its ghe same in the EU for foreign goods.

The chances they search your bags might be slim but its done.

Also it is very different if you bring stuff as a tourist or a resident.

Also if you actually pay anything will depend on if you are under certain thresholds or not pretty sure japan has some tax-free margin as well.

@aetios Yeah looking at the pricing the 49 thousand yen switch is remarkably cheap under 300€.

Also it does not harm native japanese consumers. But everyone who is an immigrant (I know not too many in japan) is in a disadvantage sure. So they either choose a cheaper switch or a more expensive one that does support their mother-language.

I just hate that greedy fucks ruin so much in the space tbh.

@aetios @sun If its a new one you bring over you will certainly have to.

@sun @aetios Do think about VAT and tarrifs though when bringing it back

@ra1n I am not sure on that one. It is though a console that can only select japanese for its language so it would not wonder me if its also locked to japanese only games, though that might not be the case as the SW1 was not.

@aetios a protective move that does kinda harms consumers as well. It is kinda a dick-move to software lock hardware thats perfectly good otherwise.

But I guess the japanese are different and their market is too.

@mametsuko The word stems and pronouncian can be pretty similar in german and dutch so yeah kinda makes sense.

Lazy sunday does sound good as well though.

I may actually try my hand at one of the ammo-bags for the cosplay today will see.

@aetios Cant tell it costs that much to provide a variant with a wider langauge-support.

I mean I can maybe get behind the lottery and shit but making it about 20.000 yen extra just to not have a non-japanese switch is downright evil.

Die Anti #Palantir #Petition ist unter https://sbamueller.com/gotham abrufbar zu unterzeichnen, man wird dort direkt auf die Website des Landtags geleitet.

Und es gibt diese netten Sharepics um die Bürger zu überzeugen.

Bei 10.000 Unterschriften dürfen wir im Landtag vortragen - wichtig wir müssen nicht nur die Grünen überzeugen, sondern eine Mehrheit der Landtagsfraktionen!

@mametsuko Guten Morgen Mame. Bei mir ist alles super. Entspannter Sonntag.

Mache grade Frühstück und hab den Tofu zum marinieren gestellt. Gibt heute etwas gutes: https://www.lazycatkitchen.com/vegan-udon-noodles-smoked-tofu-cabbage/

Ich werde aber Mie-nudeln statt Udon-Nudeln nehmen. Ich freu mich drauf.

How is your day mame?

good morning @mametsuko

TIL: Switch 2 is even more fun in japan. Seemingly they have a region-locked japanese-only variant costing 49.980 Yen.

You can get a multi-language system in japan generally. But have to jump through hoops like being a member of switch online for one year and other stuff. And then its just a raffle. Oh and also that switch will cost you 69.980 Yen. Lovely

@aetios @pixel

Looking at some footage they did take over the catching-system from Legends Arceus. So thats good I guess.

They are also trying out a new more action-focused real-time battle-system where the moves have cool downs and you can move around during battle. But also seems kinda hectic as well to me.

And Mega-Evolutions are back I suppose
