To be clear, since a lot of the reactions don’t seem to be getting this, as far as I can tell this is *A* Pikachu, not “Pikachu.” This isn’t Ash’s Pikachu that we all know and love so personally. The world has a lot of Pikachu in it, and this one’s a detective and a smartass. Doesn’t mean anything about “our” Pikachu.

It’s app-based. And in fairness, I have *only* their credit cards, so it’s possible it’s lacking in their checking accounts.

Gosh, I’ve been looking for a new job, but felt like nobody really valued what I brought to the table! I can’t miss this opportunity!

As real as the Federal Bikini Inspector, yes.

Wells Fargo and Capital One give me all those alerts too.

Honestly, if someone has to be told, still, to watch out for a scam in which you click an unsolicited link to then fill in all your security information, they’re beyond being warned. This is the same old phishing scam we’ve been dealing with forever and the same basic advice always applies: a legitimate message will…

Amazingly this very issue I discussed, which occurred in March, they finally responded to this month. October. Seven months later. Their suggestion was to make sure I had the latest version installed.

There are a lot of bullshit practices that feel really lovely. I’d participate in more of these if they just said “this is a fantastic massage” instead of lying to me about magical things. I had a spectacular massage on an island while on my honeymoon that I purposefully ignored most of what it claimed about itself so…

That’s great that it went so smoothly. With direct deposit via a payroll company that’s hard to contact, a variety of withdrawal accounts that are difficult to connect with, a few random odds and ends, and a tight budget without a lot of wiggle room for errors or overdrafts, it’s still an overwhelming process that…

Yeah, I’m with Wells Fargo currently and hope to move when I’m in a position to be able to afford the instability that comes from moving direct deposits and auto-debits and such between banks. But this would give me pause, and that’s unfair.

I mean, I sort of get that, but how would they not be separated?

Weird. Played through it with my son recently and it held up beautifully.

I guess I wasn’t super clear. When I said “this game” I was being literal. Merge Dragons is the game I was referring to.

Easter, I think. This year. At the beginning you had to merge a leaf to begin opening up the level and access the other things you’d start using to unlock the rest of the dead terrain. If you made the unthinkable mistake of stopping to look over the land and strategize, by the time you returned the leaf had grown into…

There are few things as iconic as those original iMacs. There’s no forgetting them.

I was super addicted to this game for months, and the thing that finally broke me of it was their terrible lack of support. They launched an event that was fundamentally broken, and massive numbers of us couldn’t play it due to a glitch. They refused to respond to any social media complaints about it, while still…

Well, everyone else piled on, but I will too to make it clear: you can’t charge while you’re using THE KICKSTAND. Because it blocks it. You have to buy a separate stand, which I did, to pull this off, which defeats some of its portability.

...so in other words, examples that don’t fit what I said at all? Cool.

That would require a screen upgrade as well, though. But I’ve heard a lot of games suffer from framerate hits in handheld mode as well.

I would wager this will have no functional differences and be akin to a GBA SP, DS Lite, or 3DS XL in updating the physical form factor, upgrading battery life, screen as suggested, anything that doesn’t impact game functionality or divide the library in any way, but create a tangible improvement to the general…
