There really isn't anything quite like the peace of mind you get from making a final decision between two really good options. The choosing process is rarely fun, but thank god it's over

April 14, 2025 Impact of the Reciprocal Tariff on U.S. Deliveries [Japanese-Origin Products Remain Duty-Free Under $800] The new reciprocal tariff policy has been announced, but there’s no change for products originating from Japan when shipped to the U.S. Items such as CDs, Blu-rays, LPs, books, and DVDs will continue to be exempt from duties for U.S.-bound deliveries if the total order value is under USD $800. [China and Hong Kong Products No Longer Eligible for De Minimis] Starting May 2, 2025, all products originating from China and Hong Kong destined to the U.S. will no longer be eligible for De Minimis exemption. This means duties will apply regardless of the order value.

CDJapan has posted an update regarding the impact of the reciprocal tariff on U.S. deliveries.

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy but isn't a selfie

It gives me hope for someone like me with more than my fair share of gruesome personal stories I'd rather not tell

I don't normally like to make corny posts like this, but you know... I really like characters like Van Arkride. The sweets addiction is based, the dude's street smart, but his story made me happy to see someone with a shady past find his own family & place in the world

Finally...

When the darkest reaches of your backlog rise up to drag another victim down into its unrelenting clutches

I briefly considered necrolog as an option, only to google the term and realize that's probably not a good idea

I'm gonna need a nickname for a specific part of the backlog soon. I'm not even sure I can call it the backlog anymore.

They're in the "queue" of games to play eventually, but every time the schedule looks clear enough to slide them in, something more important shows up and cuts in line

So I have 7 days to beat Xenoblade X and Atelier Yumia? ...Challenge accepted

I played on the Switch for science. That alone almost convinced me to start saving for a Steam Deck

Going through some pictures I took during my playthrough of Daybreak II. Looking back on it, she made Act III worth it

A struggle known to many... o7 to all the dual wielders who'll be trying to play Xenoblade X and Atelier Yumia at the same time

I think I'm about to enter the rumored boogieman section of the game. I'm very curious! But before that, it's time to load up on some sweets. That was a lot to do in one sitting

'Tis a struggle we all face! Surely one year there will enough time for us to start shoveling away at it 🤣

I feel this so much. I'm sweating trying to figure out how on Earth I'm going to juggle Atelier Yumia and Xenoblade X. They're a day apart sandwiched between Trails Through Daybreak 2 in February and Guardians of Azuma in May 😅 The good news is at least the year's eventful!

What's a harvest goddess doing in Azuma?! 🌾

As revealed on the Guardians of Azuma gameplay livestream, Sakuna is coming to #RuneFactory as free DLC!

We'll share more details later, but for now, take in the cuteness in this teaser trailer!

We ride at daybreak tomorrow! I'll be messing around with the Switch demo to see how it holds up. Still not sure which Grendel I like more

I wonder if we'll get a more in-depth flashback to the battle over Earth. Seeing THAT moment Elma talks about in base X would be epic and heartbreaking

Maybe the real secret to 3 really was as said on the tin: the foundation and set up for what comes next

If we think of 3 + FR as a massive tech demo for some of Origin's functions, it might give us clues as to what the lifehold's doing and the kinds of roles it and Origin may play going forward

You're right. It's way too close of a match. Not to mention the enemy mech's got the cores too. To semi-quote Elma, there's something seriously fishy about Mira, and at this point, Origin too!

Xenoblade friends, we just keep eating good. Life's great. I'm drinking a soda first thing in the morning and analyzing still frames. It's like the 3 release hype cycle all over again

Mine are kinda potato since I grabbed them in the heat of the moment 😅 Can't seem to get DMs to upload pics, but I'll put them here as well if it helps!

I have a few screenshots of it that I uploaded just a moment ago! It was a serious blink and you'll miss it moment because of the dialogue hype! Could totally be reused assets and a subtle reference, but if it's not, X being canon might not be so cope anymore!

Heads up for newcomers: credits can be kinda rough in the early game if you wanna buy fashion gear. Regardless of what the bonus gear does, that may come in handy! Depending on how quickly our EU and JP friends beat the game there are... easier ways we'll say to earn credits so your mileage may vary

Did you get a look at the mech at the end of the trailer? More specifically its core? Some crazy stuff is happening today!

Images labeled so hopefully people who don't wanna see the new mech early can avoid looking at it

Lots of subtle references all over the new mech. Probably just a genius case of reused assets, but damn that looks good!

Head - FR spoiler
Flight Unit - Emerald green
Shell - Same shade of silvery-white as final Aegis sword
Inner body - Ouroboros' style of purple with highlights and the same core

Very surprised with this trailer! I was expecting more of a drip feed leading up to March to avoid any real spoilers for the game's new content, but they went crazy with this. I NEED the skell in the last few moments to be playable
