We can speculate what we want, right? People want to take it to mean something is happening along with the list of other things Derachi detailed.

in isolation, yes, but they really crammed everything into this week. nso announcement early, xenoblade previews early, alongside the splatoon oled

Both of these points are also valid, I’ve honestly run out of things to speculate for next week and at this point am just covering all of my bases lol

it could be nothing, because anything could always be nothing. but that isn't so much speculation as a baseline fact

You're right. I just don't want to think about what if it's null.

I kind of love no real evidence is coming from the usual insiders. It’s us piecing everything else around. That’s good detective skills.

We do have Peer saying he heard a first party direct was happening in July though. Grubb has only speculated we could get something. Nate said he heard whispers of something happening in July, but nothing concrete.
 
fun fact, the inventor of the null reference apologized for it decades later

Null References: The Billion Dollar Mistake

Tony Hoare introduced Null references in ALGOL W back in 1965 "simply because it was so easy to implement", says Mr. Hoare. He talks about that decision considering it "my billion-dollar mistake".

this is the biggest thing imo. Why have all that info this week when it could have been spaced out. Take that with the splatoon tournament break and i think something is happening
 
Just hoping if anything happens or ir announced next week it is done before Thursday. Thurday and Friday will be bad days for me.

So would Abe's death impact the release of a Direct? I don't mean to be callous. I'm only questioning because he isn't the current PM. Was he beloved or not? Apologies, I heard that he wasn't much liked.

Let's not talk about this. There are more important things than a Direct.
 
Btw about nulls, one cool thing about Dart is that it gives compilation errors if there's a potential null acess

Understanding null safety

A deep dive into Dart language and library changes related to null safety.
dart.dev dart.dev

But in some cases you have to put a '!' mark which means "it's not null trust me"

“Casting away nullability” comes up often enough that we have a new shorthand syntax. A postfix exclamation mark (!) takes the expression on the left and casts it to its underlying non-nullable type.

The major act of violence perpetrated against Shinzo Abe is shocking, to say the least. As it is a developing situation, with much of the emerging, most relevant information being disseminated in Japanese (which the bulk of our userbase do not read, nor speak), we ask that members please aim to employ the highest degree of tact and sensitivity, in discussing the matter. Additionally, it is imperative that any further information that does emerge be accurate, and as such, we ask that members avoid posting any links to the usual array of random social media posts that typically arise, during difficult situations such as this one.

In light of this event, this is not the time to speculate about how it may impact the occurrence of a video game showcase. Please respect that.

Some people discussed this in another thread: we should not talk about a violent act or death of any individual simply as an influential factor to some other event. I could continue, but I hope you understand that your comment is insensitive.

Nintendo will probably take a day or two off from tweeting for obvious reasons.

Nintendo will not tweet anything today out of respect for Abe, and Nintendo will literally never again message/market anything about video games on July 11th, which happens to be Monday this year.

beautifully said, thank you
 
By the way, I haven’t eat Subway for Y.E.A.R.S. and I like Subway.

All these Subway jokes by Nate and you guys made me want to.

Sorry in advance, but seeing Subway everywhere was like watching « Mac & Me » : you see McDonalds everywhere.

What's the relevance of July 11th to the assassination of Abe?

July 11th is the date that Satoru Iwata passed away. Kit and Krysta, former marketing people at Nintendo have said on their podcast that Nintendo considers that date off-limits for anything.
 
I kinda don’t think the assassination will delay anything. He’s not the current PM, the markets going to be crazy today but it’ll rebound quickly I think. They maybe won’t tweet anymore today out of respect but I don’t think anything next week gets affected.
