My Target says I'm getting it tomorrow probably.

It's in the us postal service hands unfortunately so who knows, but tracking says it is at the post office of the next city over(we are basically one city, we're just the college part that is Incorporated as a different city)

I'm excited you're getting yours! On the plus side, I got my 512GB SD card just now, so I am going to throw that into my current Switch.

My Amazon order says my OLED is arriving tomorrow by 10pm. So hopefully a few hours before. Gonna have to run to Best Buy sometime tomorrow to pick up my Metroid Dread CE. And then do the system transfer. Someone a couple weeks ago here said you don't need both Switches to export your AC island but when I tried yesterday it wanted the receiving Switch on at the same time. I'll have to check it again to see if I did anything wrong.

As for people with Target orders, it's possible it'll arrive tomorrow. My launch day PS5 from Target arrived on launch day. Granted, this is a much less hyped launch.

My SWOLED shipped from Target through FedEx. Says it should be here tomorrow. Aww poo poo, let's go.

Koichi Sugiyama made really good music for video games, but he also had abhorrent political and social views.

That's not what gaslighting means you hyperbolic dipshit.

I'm sorry anybody died but he singlehandedly ruined DQ11 for me with his atrociously bombastic, horn-filled score for a fantasy game.
Maybe they'll go with a less tone-deaf moron to score the next game.

technically it matters more that he was an insanely racist/sexist/homophobic ultranationalist who denied that the holocaust and nanjing massacres happened, said that the korean women kept as sex slaves by the japanese empire actually were prostitutes who enjoyed it, and that women are strictly inferior to men while also being outright gleeful that lgbtq suicide rates were climbing and said that kids shouldn't be taught about it at all because lgbtq people don't produce children

i'm not sorry he died and thankfully his grave can now become a gender neutral bathroom

He hadn't made good video game music for about 2 decades except by accident.

You should quit being a baby and play one of the greatest games ever made just because the music was kind of annoying.

Other than the DQ main theme I can't really think of any tracks that really stuck in my mind the way a Uematsu score does, and I've played every DQ game except 10.

thanks for explaining. this might sound sarcastic - it's not. i don't know anything about that guy and initially i thought people were happy cause they didnt like the music he made (i seem to remember people saying dragon quest music was bad and repetetive or something). tbh i thought saying you were happy cause a bad musician died was kinda hosed up. probably not hosed up enough for me to post about bc it wouldve certainly been shitposting and not sincere belief, but still, this recontextualizes the post and i appreciate it

Dang, this is so sudden. I know I'm going to miss this man :(

Edit: I'm now hearing comments, stating that he...wasn't the best person. I wasn't aware of that myself and if those were true, I'd be surprised. That said, I still think his huge involvement with the Dragon Quest series in the soundtrack department more than makes him worthy and makes up for his toxic side, therefore he deserves a peaceful tribute to his leaving.

The only people who complain a out cancel culture are those who know that the things they say or do are garbage.
