Now two reasons to leave the MS ecosystem.

Well, Nintendo increased the sale price on NS2 in Europe and Australia to compensate for the tariffs in the US, so they could keep the end-user price down for US consumers even with tariffs. This effectively shifted the cost of the tariffs to European and Australian consumers, which is why I have sworn off Nintendo for good.

Vulfpeck is a musician’s delight. Their MSG concert was one of the best I’ve ever seen. Technically great as well - single camera, one shot.

Oh right - the journalist screwed it up. I just got angry about Nintendo’s response to the “American Import Taxes” I ended up grumbling about that. Sony did the same thing, so console gaming is becoming more ethically restrictive. :(

After SCE increased their prices in EU and Aus to help offset the US tariffs, I doubt I’ll invest anything into the PS ecosystem any more. I’d rather redirect into PC gaming from here.

My biggest concern is not that people believe the fake images and videos (which is still an issue), but that people will now not believe the real images and videos. The burden of proof has moved significantly. Commit a crime and if you were caught on camera, you were done for. Now you can just claim it’s generated and the prosecutor has to prove the veracity of the recording. All these Gen AI creations are introducing a lot more “reasonable doubt” which should be concerning.
