Do people actually put their province as Alberta to avoid the 13% taxes? I was going to do that earlier, but got scared about the potential trouble I could get in lmao.

What's the consensus on a good battery pack for Switch?

I got this one for my phone (OnePlus 3) a while back, and already have the USB-C cable that came with the phone for the switch.

Am I good to go when it comes to battery life?

I use the same (older model), works flawlessly.

I just got an email asking me to review Mario Kart 8 Deluxe from Toys R Us.

Yes, I'm going to review a game that hasn't come out yet, from an order you cancelled.

Paying taxes for purely digital goods is a nonsensical concept to begin with. You're not buying from a domestic retailer.

Can you use the directional pad for movement? Are the controls tight?

You can use either the stick or dpad to move. As far as tight. It feels just like the old school games which was no doubt intentional. So they're "floaty" but I don't feel like it's bad. It just takes a bit of time to get use to those old school controls.

When PSN and Steam don't charge tax for digital goods (on top of having much lower exchange rates), it's not outrageous to find Nintendo charging tax on top of 40% markups to be unreasonable.

PSN's exchange rate seems on par with Nintendo. I don't use steam so I can't comment on that.

Also you should never expect to not pay tax in Canada. Lack of tax is a screw up in your favor. Enjoy it while it lasts, don't complain about not getting it elsewhere.

Google Play Store also doesn't (not sure if Apple does). Microsoft does. I find it all baffling. I would love for someone in the know to explain why some companies do and some don't.

So did I, but it's been up on amazon now solidly for the last week. The shortage for now appears to be over until the holidays come. Even the Hori hard protective case which was impossible to get has been up, though I'm somewhat disappointed with it, the case is rather bendy if you push on it.

Oh wow, didn't even notice it's in stock there, too. Should have looked around before posting, haha. I figured it was still impossible to find. I guess that April onward flux of stock has brought the pro controller and some accessories back from the dead!

Lol yep, if you live in the province with the cheapest tax, stands to reason you wouldn't want to switch.

Still no prime discount on yakuza kiwami.

Wth?

There's an option on Amazon to complain about the price. They've always added the prime discount a few hours after I clicked on it.

(My pc is broken and I've been using NeoGAF on mobile, otherwise I'd do it myself)

Literally losing one placeholder (MK8D) and getting a new placeholder (Splatoon 2).
Now I recall that "I use GameStop as my bank" post. lol

Probably means that Mario Kart is coming out soon so it can't be a placeholder.

I have two copies of Lego City that I never picked up. Should transfer those.
