My friend down the street had an LX back in '83. It was an amazing device but sadly way too ahead of its time.

Do I need a foldable phone? No. Do I like the idea of owning a phone that is actually small enough to be used with one hand and can fit anywhere? Yes. Besides, closing it to end a call is very cool.

Why not? It’s not like Huawei can just use Android so I doubt they’ll pull the plug on this system anytime soon.

It’s about time we got a major third player in the mobile OS space. Godspeed to Huawei, may they succeed where Microsoft failed.

Yeah, I doubt most people will go this route. VPNs cost money, Twitter alternatives are free.

That’s the arcade one. The other one is probably season 4, episode 8, “The Vat of Acid Episode”. Morty gets a real-life saving device that allows him to go back to any previous moment in time where he has defined a save. He then falls in love with a girl and lives a long time happily with her, and forgets about the saving device. Eventually, he accidentally goes back to the save point he had made and realized he has lost the relationship with the girl and is again a complete stranger to her. That one hits hard.

Yt-dlp. It’s basically the only way I download music nowadays.

ConcernedApe comes to mind. I think he has actually said that a big reason why he made his game is so people would listen to his music.

Top Gear 3000, for SNES. Honorable mentions to Mario Kart Wii (because steering the controller to steer the car will never not be fun) and Horizon Chase Turbo (which is pretty much a modern Top Gear game).

Just gonna name a few ones that weren’t mentioned yet that I find noteworthy, unique and/or just pure fun:

• The Boy and the Heron (2023)
• Parasite (2019)
• The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)
• The Man from Earth (2007)
• Ratatouille (2007)
• Catch Me If You Can (2002)
• The Sixth Sense (2001)
• The Emperor’s New Groove (2000)
• Playtime (1967)

It’s a shame that’s not the default because while do find EVs interesting there’s no way I’m buying a car that may stop working after a failed software update. Did early EV manufacturers feel the need to put as many bleeding edge features as possible in their vehicles to make them more alluring? Cause I can’t imagine another reason to turn a car into a driveable smartphone.

It’s in the fracking ship!!

Born too late to be made of lead or asbestos, born just in time to be made of microplastics.

They’re talking about Dungeons & Dragons, it’s kind of a tabletop game where one player (the Dungeon Master, or DM) basically creates adventures for the other players. It’s very nerdy but very fun and also takes a lot of time.

I was going to say teleportation as in Jumper but going instantly to a place outside your field of view seems like trouble waiting to happen. Blink is already good enough.

KOAN Sound - Polychrome. Everything these guys do is amazing but I feel like this album in particular has an unmatched vibe.

Nice pick, it’s a very unique album for sure. Oceania has got to be one of her greatest vocal performances ever.

I’ve heard that the reason chess (I’d call it a sport, yes) is segregated is the same reason why some e-sports are segregated, to try and promote the growth of the game among women.

I think glass metal and concrete blobs are cool.

Moby - Porcelain. I don’t even know why but it always destroys me.
