I wrote over 4000 words about the new Pokemon game, which I loved. Please read them 🙏

Pokémon Legends: Z-A is a very successful experiment and hopefully a sign of great things to come for the Pokémon franchise. Our review → www.vooks.net/pokemo...

Arguably though it doesn't really matter for TikTok, right? Kids can still use it logged out, the algorithms will work the same, and they'll share videos with their friends on iMessage or whatever. They won't be able to upload, sure, but most users' experience will be largely identical anyway.

Love to have a medication increase in price to $400/month. That’s really fair and reasonable, actually.

Hell yeah man, congrats

Uh oh, it’s there for me

I think most of the “it’s Rosalina” comments came from people who did not watch it so you’re not alone at least haha

Tech companies, I am begging you on behalf of all colourblind people to PLEASE find a better way to communicate battery level than this

Yup, I know a few folks doing the same

Oliver Brandt @chocobalt.bsky.social · 8d

And another one. Mind you, I live in regional Tasmania, so two Xboxes going for cheap at the same time is basically unheard of.

You don’t like slowly holding up on the analogue stick and then sometimes pressing X to leap very slightly upwards?

You gonna do a TWEWY tour?

Could be either or both, really. No matter the reason, it is frustrating

I love when you’re struggling with a puzzle in a game so you look up a guide and it’s like “simply solve the puzzle to progress”.

Oh okay thanks, dunno why I didn’t think of that.

I definitely wish I’d been able to play it on Switch 2. Nothing wrong with it on any other platform of course, just big RPGs are so much more manageable when you can play an hour in bed at night etc

They put out this response when it started getting backlash and it’s like uh, yeah dog, we know, that’s the whole problem lol

Oliver Brandt @chocobalt.bsky.social · 12d

I believe in you. You just need to play 40 hours a day, that's easy.

I’m really hoping they’re just stopping sales ahead of Affinity v3, but I doubt it 😔

My favourite thing about iOS is that when I ask Siri to set an alarm for a specific time, if I already have an inactive alarm for that time it’ll just turn it on… except if I ask for 10am, which it will inexplicably create a new alarm for every time

I quite enjoyed Digimon Story: Time Stranger, but like with prior entries in the series, it aims too high and falls too short. It's a good game, and I loved my time with it, but there are just too many little frustations that add up over the course of the game.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger review – It’s about time

Digimon games have always been a little bit rough around the edges — they’re made on shoestring budgets and it shows. The Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth duology sh

It's a good game, and definitely more than the sum of its parts. I think it'd be a banger of a first Digimon game too. Dunno if you've tried that racing minigame though, but yikes haha
