If that app gives a better UI than the web view on mobile, I may switch. Thank you!

Yeah. I stopped commenting, when my main account had ridiculous amounts of karma. I still browse, but only logged out and only on old.reddit.com in a web browser.

This is why I just go with "queer" if I'm being general. One syllable, and I don't have to remember as much or stay on top of new additions.

I had people in another post telling me that 60fps didn't exist until the PS2 (3?) or something, lol

It takes a lot for me to accept something as fact, but I'm okay with living my life on a combination of likelihoods, reasonable plausibilities, and vibes

Speed cams do more than this -- they apply the penalty. (A fine, at least)

...they mostly get vandalized.

What we really need (at least where I live) is CONSISTENT ENFORCEMENT.

Speed cams are a great way to do this in theory. Police can't be bothered to stop every speeder, and they have the discretion to decide who actually gets ticketed...which they may be using too much of, tbh.

Jeez. I missed that detail.

If you just read the headline, you might even think this is reasonable. Hooray, we saved a baby!

But then you look into the details and it just gets worse and worse. I'm afraid for what will happen to this child.

Not just that, but other biological processes...and even sound. Babies recognize the sound of their mother's voice from before they were born. And sounds from outside the womb (like language) too, IIRC.

Castling

The woman barely has freedom of movement except once in her life and only by chauffeur.

The woman is never actually captured. The game ends when her capture is imminent.

The goal of the game is to kidnap someone else's wife.

Seems Taliban-friendly!

Brain-dead since February. Can a healthy baby even be born in a situation like that?

So much of prenatal care impacts the child. The birth weight, for instance, seems abnormally low

Basically...

Pokemon from Gens 3~7 (2000s to early 2019) can only be brought forward using a system that will no longer be officially supported at some point.

Pokemon in Gens 8 and 9 (the Switch games) are mostly considered "current", and can be swapped around between any current game and Pokemon Home.

Pokemon Home costs money to store Pokemon.

Generally, moving Pokemon between generations involves transferring them using some special tool. The final destination (unless you want to pay money) is usually a game, because that's where you can actually use them. The games also have plenty of storage that's "free" (at least, not subscription-based).

Pokemon in the games had been stored inside cartridges from Gen 1 to Gen 7 (90s to early 2019). It was only with the Switch that game saves (and thus Pokemon) stopped being saved to the cartridges, and instead were saved to the console's internal storage (not even an SD card).

Until 2019, getting a new console for your Pokemon games meant nothing -- you'd be able to use your old Pokemon and saves on the new console by plugging in your old game.

This is the first time you had to do anything special to get your saves onto your new console.

For added context, Nintendo offers a cloud saves for players to back up their Switch game saves.

Pokemon is the one of the only Nintendo franchises to not support cloud saves.

If it wasn't for the AI nonsense, this could've actually been a great idea.

Businesses might want to use Reddit comments as ads.

Reddit says "Hey, let us find those glowing reviews that we have as Reddit comments, and you can link directly to the original source!"

Then the original comment writer could edit their comments to call political figures pedos, and businesses learn their lesson that this kind of stuff is not suited for using Reddit as a primary source, lol

I was referring to where they said

Bro, it's a YOSHI game

Going based on the expectations set by Yoshi's Island, one wouldn't be off to expect challenge in Yoshi's Story, its follow-up.

Apostrophes aren't symptoms, they're easily-corrected mistakes.

Apostrophes almost never pluralize nouns. So if you're talking about more than one of something, you almost never need to add an apostrophe to make it plural.

Knowledge is power. Being neurodiverse doesn't change that.

I dunno, Yoshi's Island can get pretty hard...

1. You can probably re-use a burner phone again and again
2. What do you need a phone for? Could it be replaced with other items? (Cameras, walkie-talkies, printed maps?)

Do you live somewhere that you can get around without relying on a car (or someone with a car)?

If not, can you reasonably move to and live in a place like that?

If those are options, do those.

If not, learn how to drive properly and safely. DO NOT drive unless you feel in control of the car on public roads.

"Not being good at multitasking" isn't an excuse to put people's lives in danger.

Some people need more time to learn and practice and that's fine. You need to take responsibility and take that time to learn and practice.

It may need more than lessons. It might require therapy. But if you need to drive, then you need to drive safely. And relying on other people to drive for you is not the answer either.

I've decided that gaming is my top solo hobby, so I dedicate the appropriate time to it. On most days, I can get a solid hour in, sometimes 2 if I'm caught up or ahead on errands and making food.

Thanks for sharing! Never would've known about this otherwise.
