I hate the grey joycons. Why are they even grey on the system? The tablet is black FFS.

Wish there were colour options. At least there seem to be easy decals and skins for the dock.

Something just popped into my head, after reading that indie dev talking about the Switch as a modular console.

Lets say it's docked. It doesn't need the joycons to be attached right? So what if the interface is something faster and you could attach hardware upgrades to the sides instead of joycons for improved docked performance?

So it would be the same performance undocked, regardless. But when used it docked you could supercharge it or something.

Not feasible I guess, they could just make a dock with more resources in I guess.

You'd get about half which is what most of the people in the country make, give or take a bit. Which means if you don't have another person to share expenses with, it's going to be incredibly hard to get by. Especially when you consider the fact that not only did half your earnings disappear, but you also get taxed out the asshole on anything you buy with the money you DID aquire. Which really makes it more like about 20 to 25% of your earnings is what you'll be getting.

Thanks.  I was just wondering, as €50k before tax would be pretty decent over here, while in the media you get the impression that it is what schmucks make.  We've got tax on consumption here too.  it's mostly 21%.  Difference is that in Europe it's already included in the price you see in stores, so it doesn't sting as much on a psychological level.

  • Splatoon
  • Mario
  • NBA game

And?



Tetris. Ubisoft is playing nicely with Nintendo again right now, so I think there will be a Tetris game at launch since they currently only licensed to it.

50%??? What? Dude you're filling out your W2's all wrong. At 50K you shouldn't be paying any more than 20% in taxes. Oh and move to Florida. We don't have a state income tax.

Well, it feels like 50%. Hahaha. When you add in health care and everything else.

My friend Mike has lived in Florida for like four years now. He hates it. Lol

He says they get you in other ways down there, referring to the lack of income tax.

Yeah 50% of what you earn is nuts. Like Robio said it's like 20% of four the pay check and yeah there will be taxes on a bunch of stuff but you will have a big chunk of what you earned.

Well it's about 50% here, not including taxes on consumption.  I did assume it'd be much lower in the United States of Keep Your Filthy Hands Away From Our Money, You Government You.  I guess it just baffles me that when you have an average net income of about $40.000, you can still get this vitriolic undertone in society.  In comparision, the average wage here is about €21000 net a year.

According to GameUnder.net, a shining beacon of objective truth, the average human manages 10bps.  That's blinks per second for the uninnitiated.
