The problem with Safeguard was that Blissey had zero self sustain if you picked it... But now that it gives you a shield, it might be even better than SB.

How on earth is Blissey buffed before Garchomp gets properly buffed

The CEO is held to different standards than regular employees.

I’m enjoying the romanization of the katakana spelling of "hallelujah" haha

I know the bar is low, but a lot of companies respond with far less. Actually feigning concern and bringing in a third party is something (though obviously third parties can be fluff or detrimental to workers, too).

Very interested to see how Tales pans out. 

As a PS5 owner, Smart Delivery makes me so jealous. Almost as much as Quick Resume *cries in Returnal*

Eh, I’m far less impressed than you, John. Zero mention of accessibility and the line about getting people to exercise suggests that they missed the entire reason that so many people wanted/needed the increased radius. They didn’t specify what kinds of problems they were going to address better in the future, let…

Does anyone else think the environments look a little off? There’s this odd sterility to everything, making it look more like set dressing than an actual world. Not sure if it’s the art style or the lighting or something else entirely, but it feels kind of... cheap, maybe? Can’t really articulate it, but I don’t like…

This + AFK players are huge problems for this game. Even in ranked, I think 1/5 matches has someone on my team go AFK.

Loving the renaming, but if anything I think another FFA map is just earning more badwill (so to speak) from the Overwatch community lol

Here’s the prototype NES, for anyone else who's curious! I'm infinitely grateful they changed the controller, but the console itself is lovely (at least by 2021 design standards lol).

If you have a lot of anxiety, I highly recommend keeping it on while listening to other media! I’ve found that white noise behind whatever else I’m watching/listening to is really helpful when I’m having an anxiety attack or feeling particularly hypervigilant.

I can’t believe “plan trip” isn’t here! You can tell Waze when you need to be somewhere, and then it’ll remind you right before you need to leave based on the current traffic conditions. And if you connect your Google calendar, it’ll do it automatically for any events that have addresses!

There aren’t *any* third party Dualsense controllers to my knowledge. (The closest thing is companies who buy and mod Dualsenses and then resell them.) Unsure if it’s because Sony hasn’t licensed out the appropriate technology yet, or because it’s just so expensive/complex to manufacture.

Regardless, Nintendo has shown people using the joycon without the strap, so clearly they're open to the idea.

You might want to check the settings—a lot of Nintendo games have separate settings for handheld vs TV motion controls. Don’t know if that’st he case for Snap but thought I'd toss it out there.

Raven has been doing work advocating for marginalized communities on Twitch for a long time, and speaking out specifically on people abusing Twitch tags since they were expanded last year. (Or maybe it was earlier this year? Time melds together.) There’s even a link to Kotaku’s article from a few weeks ago about the…

I... don’t think that’s quite right, or maybe I don’t understand what you’re saying. There isn’t anything in the joycon determining its position relative to the Switch, so there isn’t anything to “block” or a signal to ”interrupt.” Maybe you’re thinking of the Wii, where the remote needed line of sight to the sensor…

Apparently we take the names of blogs literally now. Good to know.
