Member Oct 25, 2017 6,637 Glad to have a date. Hopefully i can get one.   DrFunk Member Oct 25, 2017 14,480 MadJosh04 Member Nov 9, 2022 2,471 Holy shit   -Le Monde- Avenger Dec 8, 2017 14,026 Woooo!!!! Let's go baby   jroc74 Member Oct 27, 2017 33,460 Ok, let's do this.   NotLiquid One Winged Slayer Member Oct 25, 2017 37,640 Well well well   super-famicom Avenger Oct 26, 2017 29,751 Huh, no change?   Parshias Member Oct 25, 2017 1,733 I was tempted to grab a new Pro Controller, but with that price increase I am definitely sticking with my old Switch controller and just hitting the power button to wake the console. Good news that the console and game prices remain the same.  dallow_bg Member Oct 28, 2017 11,662 texas I see the higher prices on the accessories. Makes sense.   PlanetSmasher The Abominable Showman Member Oct 25, 2017 131,235 Good for Nintendo. It probably won't last, but it's good that they're biting the bullet for now.   Kouriozan Member Oct 25, 2017 24,393 Good, happy for NA to finally be able to pre-order, haha. « At launch, the price for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will remain as announced » So yeah, we don't know what will happen, if you want one you'd better get it early.  Allyougame Member Oct 25, 2017 950 Let's go!!   ap_2 Member Jan 23, 2021 1,743 So you can buy a Switch 2 at the announced price but the dock and pro controller are 300 bucks each? Am I reading that too uncharitably? Edit - OP was adjusted to include prices. Not too bad tbh.  Nahbac Member Nov 11, 2018 2,615 So accessories are going up to help offset tariffs and market volatility, while they are non-committal about the price of the Switch 2 being safe from future price increases after the initial launch.   Kevin360 OG Direct OP Member Oct 25, 2017 8,158 Excellent.   Aaronrules380 Avenger Oct 25, 2017 24,066 Given the talks about shifting all the vietnam units for US consumption, wondering if supply constraints will be much larger due to not being able to sell chinese produced units in the US with the tariffs   PaultheNerd Member Dec 25, 2018 875 Glad to finally have a date! The fact that they allude to prices possibly changing in the future will make this a bloodbath lol   Jumpman23 Member Nov 14, 2017 1,120 Same price? Let's goooooo!   metsallica One Winged Slayer Member Oct 27, 2017 13,709 It's fine. Can deal with the accessory adjustments.   logash Member Oct 27, 2017 6,102 Hell yeah! I have been waiting to lock in a preorder since the direct. Cannot Wait :) Also, only $5 adjustment to Pro controller? Not bad.   NotLiquid One Winged Slayer Member Oct 25, 2017 37,640 DrFunk said: This was expected since several of the accessories are still listed as China produced (case, charge grip, and AC adapter).  PlanetSmasher The Abominable Showman Member Oct 25, 2017 131,235 super-famicom said: Huh, no change? Click to expand... Click to shrink... For now. They've probably allocated enough stock in the US for launch. Things can and very likely will change if Trump continues to fuck around and Nintendo isn't able to tweak their supply chain safely.  itsrealfood Member Oct 25, 2017 259 Genuinely surprised at this and stoked for next week!   GasProblem Prophet of Truth Member Nov 18, 2017 3,396 Good luck with getting a preorder in US era!   Max|Payne Member Oct 27, 2017 9,592 Portugal Wow, finally some good news.   poptire Avatar Wrecking Crew The Fallen Oct 25, 2017 14,708 Knew they wouldn't jack up prices in their biggest market, even if we did deserve it lol   Spork4000 Avenger Oct 27, 2017 9,897 Get 'em while they're hot people, likely only getting more expensive over time.   Busaiku Teyvat Traveler Member Oct 25, 2017 17,371 LET'S GOOOOO   Rainer516 Member Oct 29, 2017 1,433 Is that the same date as when the Nintendo emails go out for direct purchases from them?   a Master Ninja Member Dec 11, 2017 5,602 $100 for another set of joycons hurts.   ragolliangatan Legendary Uncle Works at Nintendo Member Aug 31, 2019 6,111 good news for the U.S that console prices are remaining the same (for now)   Parshias Member Oct 25, 2017 1,733 Rainer516 said: Is that the same date as when the Nintendo emails go out for direct purchases from them? Click to expand... Click to shrink... Nintendo store pre-orders are May 8th.   Tagovailoa Member Feb 5, 2023 1,452 Just remember we are boycotting TARGET do NOT buy from them! I know this will get lost in the flood of excitement but please   Imran Member Oct 24, 2017 8,577 I guess I was wrong, they would announce it on a Friday.   Jake2byFour Member Oct 28, 2017 5,149 Them Joy con 2 prices 😭   Delaney Member Oct 25, 2017 3,806 Guessing it will probably go up around September depending on launch window numbers.   Lowblood Member Oct 30, 2017 6,208 It's the right way to go. Get the product out there now while you can. God knows what the situation will look like afterwards (or even next week, lol) but all they can do is react to the current situation. Hopefully preorders aren't a bloodbath. Everyone will be expecting this to be more expensive by fall.  Lotus One Winged Slayer Member Oct 25, 2017 122,767 Dunno if I'm supposed to read more into them singling out Mario Kart and DK instead of them just saying the game prices are unaffected as a whole   GrimGrinningGuy Member Oct 25, 2017 9,348 Was hoping Nintendo would bump up their own website invites so I know if I gotta fight for this or not   asmith906 Member Oct 27, 2017 29,740 Those controller prices are brutal. It sounds like only the launch systems will stay the same price and they are leaving it open to a price increase in the future. That's about what I expected.   Jamrock User Member Jan 24, 2018 3,387 No intention to buy this until later this year, but by then it'll cost like 1grand.   RoninChaos Member Oct 26, 2017 8,969 $95 for joycons and $85 for a pro controller. Lmao oh my god. So many of yall are gonna be like "LETS GO!" and "ITS ON!" That shit must be like a bat signal for Nintendo and other companies to know it's okay to gouge you. And so many people are gonna flood the stores to get anything cause of tariffs. Lol what a shit show.  Televoid Uncle Works at Nintendo Member Nov 28, 2024 1,307 DrFunk said: So they're eating the price of the console and games atm, but adjusting all the accessories based on each tariff situation. And if the situation goes on, price increases by the fall/holiday to add a sense of FOMO early on. That's definitely a way to deal with this sort of thing, but again this whole thing is not their fault.  pulsemyne Member Oct 30, 2017 3,033 Looks like they are prepared to eat shit on the console price and pass it on to accessories. A sensible move.   Freelance Brian Member Oct 25, 2017 2,137 Imran said: I guess I was wrong, they would announce it on a Friday. Click to expand... Click to shrink... You were the one to always say you can't predict Nintendo's announcement/release timings too lol   CloseTalker Sister in the Craft Member Oct 25, 2017 37,751 Mario Kart is $109 in Canada lololol. A full $20 more than current games  

Hear me out: LinkedIn actually has fun games on it. I’m not joking. There are games buried underneath all the posts from CEOs disrupting industries through the power of AI, and they’re actually kind of good.My favorite is Zip, a game about filling up a grid with a continuous line. It’s a daily puzzle, like Wordle, where each day you have to fill a grid by connecting a series of numbers in order. You can’t leave any gaps, so you need to plan out how many detours you need to make to cover the whole thing. It honestly is more complicated to describe than to actually play it, but trust me, it’s really satisfying.My second favorite is Queens because it’s like Sudoku without the numbers. For a number (and math) hater like me, it’s perfect. It’s played on a five-by-five grid with colored squares, and the goal is to fill it with queens that don’t share the same columns, rows, or colors. It goes pretty fast as you mark off all the squares that can’t be a queen with Xs. Playing it gives me the same rush as finishing a particularly long Sudoku puzzle in a fraction of the time. And the best part is that it’s designed so you don’t have to make any guesses.Image: LinkedInWord game lovers will probably like Pinpoint and Crossclimb. Pinpoint gives you a series of words and you have to guess what category they all fit in. For example: If it gives you “banana” and “apple”, the answer will probably be “fruit”. Crossclimb is a little harder. You have to type in words based on hints and then stack them so that each word is only off by one letter (e.g. pace and pack). After you’ve done that successfully, the last two words on the top and bottom open up. Guessing these is a little easier because you know they have to be one letter off of what’s already there.The last game, Tango, is the most complicated one of the bunch. It’s essentially about following a bunch of rules to deduce where to place sun and moon icons. I imagine the kind of people who love Sudoku puzzles that start out nearly empty will like making guesses and double-checking everything until it’s solved. Sadly, I am not that person.I never expected to willingly spend an hour on LinkedIn every day, but here I am. Does it give me the urge to start using it as a real social media site to connect with like-minded people? Absolutely not. I will continue to play my silly little games and then peace out. But you should know you’re missing out on the one good thing about LinkedIn if you’re not already playing these.See More: Gaming

Intel is expected to move to a newer socket with its Nova Lake-S Desktop CPU lineup, which will be called LGA 1954. Intel LGA 1851 Socket Only For Arrow Lake & Its Refresh, New LGA 1954 Socket For Nova Lake-S Desktop CPUs Intel's LGA 1851 socket was first introduced last year with the Arrow Lake-S "Core Ultra Series 2" CPU lineup. The new socket was featured on the latest 800-series motherboards, and despite big expectations from the CPU family, it turned out to be lackluster in the gaming department. However, it improved the multi-threading and efficiency of the desktop line. The Blue Team is also said to be working on a refresh of the Arrow Lake-S family, which will feature upgrades to the NPU and a few more capabilities, but it looks like after that, the company will be shifting to a new socket once again. Image Source: NBD.LTD As per the latest listings within shipping manifests at nbd.ltd, it looks like Intel is already preparing a new socket that will be used by its next-gen Desktop CPU family, codenamed Nova Lake-S. This is the family replacing Arrow Lake and is expected to arrive later next year, so 2H 2026 to be precise. For Nova Lake, we are hearing reports that Intel is planning to up the core counts, both P-Cores and E-Cores, by a huge margin. Current rumors suggest up to 16 P-Cores and up to 32 E-Cores & these chips will be coming to both desktops and laptops. It is revealed that the LGA 1954 socket is being used on the reference evaluation platforms running Nova Lake-S Desktop CPUs. Do note that it isn't official yet which socket the Nova Lake-S chips will use, but Intel moving to a new socket after 2 generations sounds a lot like Intel. In addition to Nova Lake, we can also expect the successor, Razer Lake, to utilize the newer LGA 1954 socket, though time will tell. The LGA 1954 socket might utilize the 900-series chipset motherboards, & Nova Lake-S should be branded under the Core Ultra Series 4 family since Core Ultra Series 3 is going to be used by Panther Lake, which is a mobile-only launch.

مغاربة يحتجون بميناء الدار البيضاء على رسو سفينة متجهة لإسرائيلمظاهرة حاشدة في الرباط قبل أيام دعما لغزة (أسوشيتد برس)19/4/2025شارك مئات النشطاء المغاربة في احتجاج بميناء الدار البيضاء مساء الجمعة على رسو سفينة بالميناء، للاشتباه بأنها تحمل معدات عسكرية إلى إسرائيل. وردد مئات النشطاء شعارات مؤيدة لغزة ومناهضة للتطبيع، وعبروا عن رفضهم بأن "تتحول الموانئ المغربية إلى جسر لإبادة الشعب الفلسطيني". وطالب المحتجون خلال هذه الوقفة التي دعت إليها "الجبهة المغربية لدعم فلسطين ومناهضة التطبيع" المكونة من عدة نشطاء، السلطات المغربية برفض رسو السفينة التابعة لعملاق الشحن العالمي "ميرسك" في الموانئ المغربية، على خلفية اتهامات لها من طرف سياسيين وحقوقيين عبر العالم بأنها "تنقل معدات عسكرية إلى إسرائيل". ويشتبه النشطاء في هذه الوقفة الاحتجاجية، التي شهدت حضورا أمنيا مكثفا، بأن السفينة "في طريقها إلى ميناء طنجة المتوسط لتحميل شحنة المعدات الخاصة بطائرة إف-35 والتوجه إلى قاعدة "نيفاتيم" بإسرائيل. وقال حسن بناجح من "الجبهة المغربية لدعم فلسطين ومناهضة التطبيع" لرويترز إن "مرور السفن الإسرائيلية أو المرتبطة بها عبر الموانئ المغربية هو مس صارخ بسيادة الوطن وإرادة شعبه". واعتبر أن "استقبال أو تسهيل مرور هذه السفن يعد تواطؤا مع آلة القتل الصهيونية، ووصمة عار في جبين كل من يسكت عنه أو يبرره". إعلان من جهتها قالت الحقوقية خديجة الرياضي لرويترز إن "استعمال هذه الباخرة لمينائنا هو دعم لحرب الإبادة". وأضافت "نحن نريد أن نرى سفن الإغاثة المحملة بالمؤن والأدوية والمساعدات هي التي تغادر موانئنا نحو غزة وليس سفن العدو الصهيوني الذي يواصل قتل وتجويع وتشريد وإبادة الشعب الفلسطيني". ويستعد نشطاء مغاربة أيضا للاحتجاج على رسو السفينة غدا الأحد بميناء طنجة المتوسط. المصدر : رويترز
