While all of that appears to be true, that doesn't mean Nintendo/TPC aren't able to make this small studio's lives a nightmare if they wanted. I have a feeling that the level of scrutiny the studio will be under from now on is going to inhibit any real innovation, as they're already walking a very fine line as it is.

Yeah, you can usually still find decent flavors if you buy bottles of juice, which I need to start doing again. I'd gotten lazy and switched back to a pod device (which I still hate because of the massive amounts of plastics), and the flavor options are very limited.
I've got a feeling that the legal issues, even if they're in the clear, are going to pose a lot of problems for the longevity of the game. But, I'm really hopeful that this sparks inspiration for other devs to take on the monster collecting genre. Pokemon has dominated that space for so long that they practically define the genre at this point, so it'll be nice to see new monster collectors come out with their own unique styles.
Good on them for cracking down on disposables. Absolute waste of plastics, and leaves completely viable li-ion batteries scattered around in the streets, and cause garbage trucks to catch on fire.
Shit move on restricting flavors, though. I'm an adult, I like fruity flavors, just let me have something that tastes nice. They restricted flavors here in the US, and that did absolutely nothing to mitigate teen vaping.
I swear, I've been seeing so many different spellings of his last name lately. I've seen -sky, -skyy, -skey, and now -skiy. I wonder why different outlets seem to be using different spellings.
The Dreamcast really was ahead of its time. VMU-linking was honestly a really excellent use of the tech available at the time, and opened the doors for a lot of really interesting ways to play games. Some games even had single-player minigames you could access from the VMU, so you could play while you were away from your console.
If Sega had marketed the Dreamcast better, it could've really dominated the gaming scene at the time. It had a lot of features that were way more advanced than its competition. Hell, Sega could've possibly still been in the hardware market today if their consoles sold better. Sometimes I wonder what the gaming space would be like today if Sega was still making consoles.

I'm Detective John Madden with the NFL, you're under investigation.
Thanks! I'm considering a move to Oregon in the next few years, so that's at least good to know that it's not drastically different from what I'm paying right now.
Corn flakes. Fight me if you think cereal isn't soup.
My local grocery chain has decent coupons, and a debit card with cash back on their brand of products, so I've been making a lot of use out of those.
Been buying a lot of large orders of cheap dry goods that can last a while like rice and beans. Some rice, some beans, throw some cheese and some sauces in there, get creative with some seasonings, and you can make some pretty bomb-ass burritos at home for super cheap. I'm not vegan/vegetarian, but I often make them without any meat (but use some "meaty" seasonings), and you can easily just skip the cheese if you wanna make it vegan, I suppose.
Just curious, how many are you shopping for? I'm spending about $100-150 a week just for myself.
I can tell I've had a really long day when I tried to click the X on OP's screenshot.
