and now people got me thinking about connector design and now I'm thinking it'd be nice to be able to lock together connectors of different sizes; you can put the powerpole connectors together into a block of connectors but they have to all be the same size connector, which you might not want

not sure how you'd engineer that though

misinformation, joke, based on something we saw yesterday 

the reason the nintendo switch doesn't have a d-pad is because vampires designed it and they can't use cross-shaped things

Those would be hard as hell to tell apart as an English speaker.

More playable non-humans please. I'm sick of "realistic human" being the standard we measure games and their graphics by. We have all this power and we're using it on -that-?

so we're avoiding news about the new pokemon games but: there is one thing I'd like to know. Have they announced a release date yet, and when is it if so?
