I have to say, The Rational Walk’s tweets that you quote sound like very obvious sarcasm to me, so I don’t think that’s a fair one to rail on. The rest are pretty over the top, though.

I wasn’t asking for only the clip. Not sure how you got that impression. I’m talking about a controller. I already have a clip for my Xbox One controller. Still too large and cumbersome to carry with me.

I’m not talking about the clip, I’m talking about the much smaller controller. I have a clip already for my Xbox One controller, but carrying that with me is too burdensome.

They’ve micro-managed in various ways in the past, including not granting wireless access to anything but extreme edge cases. Wouldn’t be a new move for them, and would be appropriate in ensuring games play as intended.

I’m deeply depressed to realize that when I have to replace this I’m going to almost definitely get something bigger. I love the size. Hopefully the Spark sticks around, because between everything you said, and my own experience, it sounds like such a great little vehicle.

My wife bought the former, while I await my new liver. I spent $1500 on having to get it rebuilt. Mine is the model year after the extended warranty settlement. The year they supposedly fixed.

Nah, the Spark was where the magic was. If they had to keep one, the Spark seems more appropriate. It’s quirkier and a little smaller.

A few years back my own aging car was giving me enough trouble that I was renting cars every couple of months while its issues were dealt with. I used it as an opportunity to try various different small cars, most of which I hated (Fiat 500: I’m glaring at you). But once I tried the Spark it quickly became my go-to,…

Surprising Microsoft signed off on it like that. Major deal-killer for me. Hoping for something official from Microsoft designed to better attach to the phone.

I don’t see a coupon. Comes out to $21.99 for me.

I feel like the screenshot answers your question.

Two things:

I seriously don’t understand this love affair with keys. Like, I appreciate the physical, visceral aspect of it, I definitely do. But I love the idea of not having to worry about a thing to interact with to make my car work, or to accidentally leave behind in it. Something that can just stay buried in my pocket and…

I see him at Arcade Expo every year posing for photos and mingling and I have by choice never spoken to him. His in-person persona makes me very uncomfortable, and I avoid interaction with him.

To be clear, if you pay the ransom, you’re then decrypting the files. Which depending on how many files, can indeed takes days or weeks.

I’m not convinced the design encourages abuse so much as it simply puts too much faith in people not to abuse it. The assumption is that if you warn people enough and push them to be responsible, they will be. The reality is a certain subset never will be. They’re being given a system appropriately named based on how…

I was going to comment about this, assuming I might have been the only one aware of this gem. I picked up my TurboGrafx16 used, after it was over, so I wasn’t in the thick of it so had no real perspective on what was and wasn’t a big deal. But I remember I got this game, and one day I was bored enough to put some real…

Wouldn’t a macro cover the need you’re describing?

I don’t believe Bluetooth has the bandwidth necessary to handle the backup camera duties. Requires WiFi which adds some complexity to the setup.

I bought it for my daughter on Xbox One, but I don’t have it on PC where I’m more likely to play it.
