Well, nothing goes fast in a bureaucracy. That one is for certain. And Apple is a good example of a company that wants to have as much control of their products as possible. Regarding the "Right to Repair" law, we will see how it works out. Absolutely. Working with limitations is difficult, working without any isn't hard. It's also what made a lot of products interesting back in the day. Like how the PC-98 was pretty strong when it comes to stack pictures (so VNs).

One of the issues when East Germany got gobbled up by West Germany. We used to have free daycare for every single kid, so the parents had no issues working. In West Germany it was more that the man worked and the woman stayed at home. And well, we see now where that has led to. But yeah, that single thing basically won't convince anyone. I honestly doubt we will ever turn around for the better when it comes to having children. At least West Germany had those Turkish "guest laborers" and they never integrated which had a snowball effect. We had Vietnamese and such but they did a lot better. Yeah, no idea why they want them to look like that. Just make them look "normal" and be done with that. Hm....could look better for sure. That's one advantage for Tesla, their bs promises of autonomous driving aren't true and it was shown several times but a lot of buyers don't care and buy blindly into it. As such, when something goes wrong, they are surprised. *sigh* But yeah, Europe is an entirely different beast than artificial US which had an actual design philosophy which makes things a lot easier.

Until some time ago, it was completely free for me (including the CC). Now I have to pay some € (also including the CC separately). Have to switch to a standard CC since I took the golden one for fun since both were free anyway (and I just saw that the golden one gives to percentages back on travel bookings...which of course I never had paid attention to - not that I travel anyway). Fees might get worse with how the money situation currently is. Negative interest might come too (at least for those with some more money in the bank), we will see.

Who knows. All I can hope for is to not have those kind of sellers again. I guess it's an advantage to buy FBA instead of directly from third-party sellers since I'm pretty sure those are flawless in that regard. At best there is a sticker on it which you can easily remove. Regarding my CC...it appears they shipped it today. No idea what the issue was, especially since that one bank clerk on the phone said that it's blocked. Oh well... To be fair, it's super easy to collect and it also didn't look any special...and had wasted space which is the reason why those books never got good ratings. I've bought a book like that before (from Falcom) but at least it was better in that regard.

One question regarding Alicesoft releases. Do you know or have seen actual pictures from the Yoru ga Kuru! Premium Box and Only You -ReCross- ADMIRABLE SET which were released at CharaFes 2001 Spring? The Yoru ga Kuru! is being sold for 10k but there are no actual pictures of it. I would really like to see how they look like or some additional information.
