  • Maybe. Though it might still be difficult with the number of button combos (basically a different function for each pair of face buttons you press at the same time).

    Gameplay-wise it feels more like a fighting game than something like Dark Souls, it’s built around combos. I’m sure it’ll be fun for many, and like I said things could even be different than when I tried it a year ago, but for now I’m gonna wait and see what reviews say after launch, maybe wait for a sale if I’m still on the fence.




  • I don’t believe that it was explicitly stated that refunds had to happen, but the avoidance of that possibility was a motivation of the dissent.

    In his dissent, Kavanaugh wrote that “the refund process is likely to be a mess”, which operates under the assumption that refunds remain on the table now that Trump’s tariffs were ruled unconstitutional.

    I’m guessing it will come down to individual lawsuits by the affected parties against the Trump administration to make the specific case that refunds are needed and justified. If a few succeed, that sets the precedent for more. At that point, the government may decide to simply set up a refund program to reimburse folks and try to save some money by not challenging every claim in court.

    Some was context pulled from this NPR article:

  • To add, refunds are only going back to the businesses that directly paid the tariffs. But those businesses were already offsetting the costs of their goods to counterbalance them.

    Outside of a few more consumers being priced out, a business playing their cards right may not have actually had too much of a hit to their bottom line under tariffs. But now, in addition to the profits they made by increasing prices to offset the tariffs, they’re going to get refunded the cost of the tariffs anyways.

    So the one left holding the bag ends up being the American consumer and taxpayer, who has struggled to afford basic goods throughout Trump’s presidency, and will not see any returns from the tariffs either, as all of it comes right back out of tax revenue.

    Not that the American public were likely to see any tax relief or benefit from the tariffs in the first place, mind.
