It makes a little sense if you think about it: It’s like how companies hiring hackers for their IT security.

It’s a classic case of 10 seconds of thinking something is a genius level idea and running with it without thinking “hmm, is this going to bite me in the ass?”

Isn’t this why Esperanto was created?

Anyway, my vote goes to Klingon or Mando’a.

Couple things about the virtual boy:

• It was pixelated, it was nowhere near the power of the home consoles. It sits between the Game Boy color & Game Boy advance.

• It had an LED display in the mid 90’s, hence the monochrome. Making it full color would have been cost prohibitive, as they would have had to add in 4 more displays (two for each eye), and triple the storage for games as everything would have to be rendered 3 times.

I’m a native English speaker, not fluent in any other languages, and I still fuck up it’s / its on a regular basis.

Well I wasn’t planning on downloading Deepseek, but now I feel like I gotta…

Can we just split the country in two and go with North Mexico and South Canada?

I wishlisted that game. Is it yours? Looks right up my alley…

I hate SureFires… Had a Polytac that I carried for a while but same issue of pocket activation and the batteries wouldn’t last because of it basically running all the time. I was constantly checking to make sure it was off.

Haven’t bought anything from the brand since.

Looked it up, lack of a tail cap switch is a bit of a deal breaker for me. Might get one as a backup, but probably won’t replace my EDC.

Wurkkos FC12

18650, tail cap on/off, side button for modes, stays at the last brightness setting when you turn it off and on, built in USB -C charging port. Available on Amazon for about $30 on sale.

I carry one with me everyday at work.

“I don’t know why, but if you remove this comment it fucks up everything.”

I saw this comment in a piece of code once; I left it there as not to tempt the fates.

I waited a year after release before I got mine, and I should have gotten it day one. It pretty much goes everywhere with me, and I already had a Library of games thanks to years of Humble Bundle purchases.

Games go on sale dirt cheap constantly as well. If I never bought another game, I probably have a solid 10 years of things to play, but I have a bad habit of buying bundles because there’s 1 or 2 games I want and I end up with a dozen for “free.”

I have emulators from Atari 2600 to N64 installed currently, and they all run well. Haven’t tried any GameCube+ emulators yet, but I don’t think it would have a problem. I’ve seen videos of people running TotK with a better frame rate than on Switch, but I don’t if that was “out-of-the-box” or if they had to tweak things.

Either way, it’s a damn capable device for the sub $300 it’s on sale for right now. (Base model, of course) I’ve been thinking of upgrading to the high end OLED model.

I don’t know if a Switch 2 would get me to move away from my Steam Deck.

Sadly, they would probably volunteer to be eaten so they could “own the libs”

The AI didn’t know what to do with the prompt “Lizardman”

The original Gros Michel cultivar… was also supposedly tastier and better.

The banana flavoring used in candies and baked goods came from the Gros Michel, so if you like banana flavored things, but don’t like actual bananas, this is why.
