Build-A-Bear had created a virtual waiting room for people to join, similar to the queue system for the PS5 launch used by many retailers, which would randomly assign potential customers a place in line and give them the ability to buy the Animal Crossing toys. Unfortunately, many customers were unable to purchase the merchandise before stock ran out, but Build-A-Bear has a mailing list to notify people when the items get a restock online and in stores....

Speaking with CNET, Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser commented on the possibility of standard Switch Joy-Con controls having a traditional d-pad in the future. Bowser said there aren’t any plans to bring a new version of the Joy-Con controller to retail, as it would hamper their functionality.

I became a sex worker and took HIV tests at mobile sites, because they paid you to get tested. That was how I found out I was HIV-positive in 2001. I wanted to kill myself. I didn’t have any friends or a support system, and I hadn’t seen my family for years because I didn’t want them to see the way I was living. I was alone, and this diagnosis made me feel even more alone....

The companion that was shown in the trailer appears to be similar to a pod sidekick that was featured in NieR: Automata. The trailer is filled with dramatic music and as the trailer continues, a soft angelic voice begins singing. Of course, fans of the Nier games would know how important music is in the game, given that the developers use it to deliver key emotional moments in the story....

What console the game is played on does not make much of a difference when it comes to playtime. There is a DLC pack called 3C3C1D119440927, which adds between two and four hours of playtime.

Last week, Boris Johnson shambolically contradicted Professor Chris Whitty, the UK government’s chief medical adviser, about whether Britain was still in the so-called “containment” phase of the coronavirus disease or had moved on to the “delay” phase. Johnson said that dealing with coronavirus was all about timing. Now, Britain’s premier is following events rather than leading them. By continuing to allow dozens of airplanes from areas of Italy which have been affected by the disease to land on British soil without even bothering to check those arriving for signs of illness, he and his government are being negligent....

Collins’ comments came on CNN when anchor Jake Tapper asked him if whether he thought, “as a public health measure, it would be good for more businesses to require vaccine credentials in order to have vaccinated customers.” “As a public health person who wants to see this pandemic end, yes,” Collins responded. “I think anything we can do to encourage reluctant folks to get vaccinated because they’ll want to be part of these public events, that’s a good thing,” he added....

The Nintendo 2DS is also cheaper than the Nintendo 3DS or 3DS XL and boasts a tablet-style design instead of the traditional clamshell design of the 3DS....
