Shit, they really will localize anything these days. However, I'm glad it exists if only because of this hilarious video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmc94ytS0sY#t

Dragon Quest XI Announced For PlayStation 4, And Nintendo 3DS

On one hand, the 3DS 2D/3D is cool, but on the other, I miss the console Dragon Quest experience (DQ8 was better than DQ9). Touch choice to make as to what version to get.

During Square Enix’s new Dragon Quest title presentation event, they announced Dragon Quest XI: In Search of the Departed Time for PlayStation 4, Nintendo 3DS, and a Nintendo NX version in consideration.

Can New Chicago Taxes On Netflix, Apple, Spotify Withstand Legal Challenges?

by samzenpus
Paul Brownlee

WTF Chicago?

Mr D from 63 writes: Today, a new "cloud tax" takes effect in the city of Chicago, targeting online databases and streaming entertainment services. Residents who stream movies and music from companies like Netflix and Spotify will now need to pay an additional 9% tax. This also applies to Chicago businesses that pay to use databases online. Chicago expects to collect $12 million a year as a result of the new tax ruling. From the 24/7 Wall St. story: "Also worth noting is that the city’s tax ruling in both cases avoids the issue of whether there is a close-enough connection (nexus, in legalese) to require providers like Netflix or others to collect either tax. International law firm ReedSmith weighs in on this point as well: '[O]nce the Department begins to audit and assess customers located within the city, many of those customers are likely to demand that providers collect the tax going forward. As a result, many providers will likely feel the need to register to collect the taxes, despite lacking nexus, and despite having strong arguments against the Department’s expansive interpretation of its taxing ordinances.'"

It's like Nintendo gave out the tiniest of olive branches and said "OK fine, we'll put in same sex marriage, but for only for two conditionally bisexual characters."

Both characters are bisexual, and can still marry units of the opposite gender.
