As far as I’m aware, the big “problem” with Mastodon (and the Fediverse as a whole) is that you have to choose an instance to join. It’s an aditional step that mainstream social media does not have and it’s already enough to push regular people away. It’s kinda like trying to convince a Windows user to jump ship to Linux, by the time you begin explaining what a distro is you’ve already lost them.

Huh, I thought this would be about a new device. I guess Anbernic’s release schedule has spoiled me.

It was, indeed. The group has grown a lot since then but the original name has stuck.

That doesn’t mean much. Iran and Saudi Arabia also are in it and they hate each other.

My friend down the street had an LX back in '83. It was an amazing device but sadly way too ahead of its time.

Do I need a foldable phone? No. Do I like the idea of owning a phone that is actually small enough to be used with one hand and can fit anywhere? Yes. Besides, closing it to end a call is very cool.

Why not? It’s not like Huawei can just use Android so I doubt they’ll pull the plug on this system anytime soon.

It’s about time we got a major third player in the mobile OS space. Godspeed to Huawei, may they succeed where Microsoft failed.

The fact that there aren’t many alternatives likely means that making a Sims-like game isn’t as simple as it looks. That being said, there are a bunch of life sims under developement right now (probably because EA is doing a terrible job) such as Paralives, Inzoi and Alterlife.

Can you believe your comment was how I found out that happened? I thought it was just a joke at first, like something so absurd that could only happen in a comedy movie.

Yeah, I doubt most people will go this route. VPNs cost money, Twitter alternatives are free.

That’s the arcade one. The other one is probably season 4, episode 8, “The Vat of Acid Episode”. Morty gets a real-life saving device that allows him to go back to any previous moment in time where he has defined a save. He then falls in love with a girl and lives a long time happily with her, and forgets about the saving device. Eventually, he accidentally goes back to the save point he had made and realized he has lost the relationship with the girl and is again a complete stranger to her. That one hits hard.

Good. Let them cook.

Top Gear 3000, for SNES. Honorable mentions to Mario Kart Wii (because steering the controller to steer the car will never not be fun) and Horizon Chase Turbo (which is pretty much a modern Top Gear game).

Just gonna name a few ones that weren’t mentioned yet that I find noteworthy, unique and/or just pure fun:

• The Boy and the Heron (2023)
• Parasite (2019)
• The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)
• The Man from Earth (2007)
• Ratatouille (2007)
• Catch Me If You Can (2002)
• The Sixth Sense (2001)
• The Emperor’s New Groove (2000)
• Playtime (1967)

It’s a shame that’s not the default because while do find EVs interesting there’s no way I’m buying a car that may stop working after a failed software update. Did early EV manufacturers feel the need to put as many bleeding edge features as possible in their vehicles to make them more alluring? Cause I can’t imagine another reason to turn a car into a driveable smartphone.

It’s in the fracking ship!!

Interesting. I never finished The Witness but I got some solid 10h of entertainment out of it before I stopped having fun. I’d say it is a brilliantly well designed game that’s well worth the price if you are into puzzles.

There’s also AlterLife.
