  • It was the Gameboy commercial when red/blue came out.

    I saw it and was like, “What’s this game about? Those creatures are so cute! You collect them? I need to check this out!” I babysat a bunch, saved my money, bought Pokemon Red, and I was hooked. I started watching the animated series, collecting the TCG, and playing with friends. Been engaged ever since.

    I wish there was a way to use AI to contain bots to their own shadowbanned islands. Let them talk, and let them appear that they’re contributing, but all contained within their own little echo chamber of other bots.




  • Thank you!

    I don’t care what the reasoning is behind the decision (customer feedback vs. changes to safety ratings), I’m just glad it’s happening and I hope all manufacturers follow suit.

    This has been my gripe with new cars ever since I found myself needing one in 2022. Everything I looked at had a huge infotainment system front-ending climate and cabin controls. Want to turn your steering wheel heat off mid drive? Ha! Tap this specific spot on this screen 3 times and hope the car doesn’t bounce while you’re doing so or you’ll accidentally turn something else on. Want to use voice controls? Joke’s on you, they only work 50% of the time.

    God forbid something happens to the control board (which costs thousands of dollars to replace if you’re outside warranty), because then you’re completely hosed.

    You know what always worked without fail? The buttons in my 2005 Corolla.








  • Same, and I’ve never used an iOS device as a daily driver outside to work. I would literally dump my whole investment in the Android ecosystem over favourable form factor, especially now that Apple is on board with USBC.

    I’d buy another 13 Mini, but I’m worried about how long it’ll be before planned obsolescence takes over.
