No they’d select their entire assembly of representatives that way, and those representatives would vote on policies. If you got a random dumbass who wanted stupid things like Beyoncé and jellybeans, he’d still get voted down. However if you grew up knowing you actually stood as good a chance as anyone of holding…

You’ll probably find that a retired politician will suddenly be more comfortable with expressing ordinary-person, reasonable opinions as soon as they no longer have to worry about re-election or appeasing their voter base. Sometimes I wonder if elections are conducive to selecting reasonable leaders. Not that I’m…

As an aside, that’s why Nintendo’s rewards system involved questionnaires that asked “when you bought this game, did you also buy the console?”, because they wanna know what games sell consoles. Evidently the answer they came back with was “Zelda”

You mean what happened to the Wii U without FIRST party support. Wii U was nothing but gimmicky party games and sidescrolling platformers. No Metroid, no Zelda (HD TWW doesn’t count), no Star Fox until very late in the life cycle, no Pokémon (other consoles had Stadium/Colosseum/etc), no Fire Emblem... Nintendo…

No it just needs what the Wii had and Wii U didn’t: a strong launch line-up that attracted early adopters

You heard the premeditation here first, folks

The different-coloured buttons made the banana bird crystal puzzles make a lot more sense in DKC3

LOL. DDoS. The apex of script kiddie achievement.

Yeah that makes sense. I wonder why they’re not doing that.

My guess is that the Nearby feature was putting a strain on the servers (requiring it to make too many relative position calculations per second) and they intentionally “broke” it (turned off the distance calculation) to ease the load, and have been unable to come up with a more optimized distance-calculating…

The signal will only give the user’s position. Calculating the relative positions of a list’s worth of nearby pokémon is another thing altogether if you want second-to-second accurate-to-within-a-meter precision. At the moment the “nearby” list only seems to update once every few seconds. Since it’d be ridiculous to…

That’s not unreasonable, although for me even without a direction a working steps feature would be enough since I don’t mind playing “hot and cold”.

That seems unlikely. Either every movement of 1m in any direction would require another GPS call, drastically increasing battery/data usage, or the distance displayed would remain at (for example) 56m for several seconds even while you’re moving around and would not be accurate most of the time. Footsteps seems like…

Or something else that’s even better, or whatever they can implement that isn’t broken. It’s not surprising that they removed something that was broken until they could fix it.

Sounds like Jake the Snake would LOVE D&D and LARPing.

PoGo already starts with a Launch Screen that warns the user to stay aware of their surroundings. They’re covered.

At what point did a hair wrap become unprofessional, though? And what’s wrong with a ponytail, for goodness’ sake? Sounds like the boss just wanted to heckle her for looking too ethnic. If someone told a Sikh that his turban was unprofessional, there’d be wigs on the green, and rightly so.

OK awesome, now to complete the retro effect I say they should hire Take That to write the music.

Yep and the UK won’t vote to leave the EU
