While this may be obvious to some players, Cataquacks resemble Wiggler segments that have come to life. This is likely intentional due to them originating in Gelato Beach in Super Mario Sunshine, where the antagonist is a Wiggler.

This is what gets me about all this AI crap.

I don’t want a computer that I have to talk to and confer with like it’s a real person, or to do all my thinking and creative process for me.

I want a computer that just does the task I need it to do so I can get work done, log off and go live my life.

“We want every person making the move to experience what it means to have a PC that’s not just a tool, but a true partner” no, thank you, my PC is just a tool, and so is my phone, and so is my other tech, and it'll stay this way.

It's incredible how out of touch and out of reality tech bros are

Remember when I came up with "buttons" to explain executive dysfunction just because I had an argument with my partner about getting things done?

I made an entirely new series for ADHD Awareness Month explaining motivation & ADHD. Coming next week 👀✨

Page 1

Comic showing a person with black hair and yellow antennae struggling to explain ADHD-related difficulties.
Panel 1: The character looks startled as another person enters cheerfully with a dog, saying, “Heyyy, I’m back!”
Panel 2: The person frowns, “You said you would clean up!” The character replies, “I wanted to eat breakfast first…”
Panel 3: The character adds, “But I couldn’t decide on what to eat, so I didn’t.” The other responds, “Well, now you know better. Next time just eat something.”
Panel 4: The character, frustrated, says, “Don’t say it like that! I already knew that!” The other person asks, “Then why can you do it NOW?”

Comic continuing the ADHD explanation using a stove metaphor.
Panel 1: A stove without buttons is shown. Text: “Because my brain is like a stove without any buttons. I know I have to cook, but how do I turn it on?”
Panel 2: The stove stays cold. Text: “Knowing the consequences doesn’t turn on the stove.”
Panel 3: Someone stands nearby; the stove lights up. Text: “When you’re next to me, it’s like you spawn a button for me. You are an outside source of buttons.”
Panel 4: The stove smokes slightly. The other person asks, “What can you do to get a button yourself?” The character replies, “Uhh… I’m not sure… Medication helps a bit.”

Comic concluding the “buttons and stove” metaphor for ADHD motivation.
Panel 1: The character explains, “ADHD is a disorder, it means serious impairment. You can do chores because you have to, right?” The other replies, “Well yeah, I have to.”
Panel 2: The character points to a vacuum cleaner. “That’s because you get buttons for all kinds of things.” The other says, “Look at all those buttons!”
Panel 3: The character shouts at papers, “I did so many pomodoros! WHY WON’T YOU TURN ON?!” Text: “I don’t get buttons for mundane tasks—it’s neurological, not motivational. You can’t just ‘motivate’ a stove to turn on.”
Panel 4: Surrounded by drawings, the character smiles. “I only get buttons for interesting tasks.” The other person says, amazed, “So many buttons!”

I’ve seen some people suggest Apple Music as an alternative but they’ve also given significant support to the Trump administration.

I’ve also heard good things about Qobuz, though. Does anyone have experience with it? Is it a good Spotify replacement?
