I actually have the game on my wishlist, I don't know whether the anime and the game are one and the same?

Adding those to the list, thanks!

Thanks for the summary, I'm adding it to the list!

Thanks, that looks really up my alley, I'm adding it to the list!

The Plague Tale duology, both Innocence and Requiem, is probably my favourite story-driven game series.
It resembles TLOU in some ways, but with a smaller scope, and the storyline resonated more with me (as in siblings vs parent/child in TLOU).

The only way I get to roundabout $200 now is if they are talking about 1983/84, but the NES hadn't even released in NA back then, so that's somewhat unlikely?

Nope, 8bitdo (via their eshop) ships directly from China to Canada, alongside a number of other countries.
The change is only wrt shipping to US.

They also increased prices in Canada, by 7-15% afaict.
eg: MX Master 3S went up ~14%, $140 to $160.

Per their website:

As a non-profit that engages with a number of stakeholder groups across Canada’s internet, CIRA believes that transparency is essential to good governance.

They also detail their compensation and expenses further down that page.

I would probably recommend Bazzite as a gaming (and user-friendly, in many ways) OS alternative instead of Pop!_OS.
It is very simple to set up and use, and comes with multiple gaming-related tweaks by default.

For those in Western Canada, a lot of these products seem to be available at London Drugs - I've found X-Pur and Curaprox at least.
