I would be less hesitant if this was my Surface, but the manufacturer doesn’t spit out an updated system image every few months
Pokémon GO feature wishlist point
Pokémon Go needs some kind of visit/sitter/play date mode where you can send your buddy out with a friend for short periods, get some diminished XP/stuff from stops, be a support pal in battles maybe.
I have no idea how this would work, or how to mitigate abuse of the feature. Probably what I really want is to let my spouse take my Pokeball out without having to also take my phone.
oblique mention of uspol campaign ads, no content
sometimes I just want to replace my television and streaming box with a ginormous monitor and a headless laptop or something I could remote Into. Linear content is reassuring but ad content is most assuredly not. It won’t be for some time. If ever again. (Let me watch Another Period reruns in peace, Pluto!)
My network situation is a bit more complex than many home users, but a Pihole is still not out of the question. This is so aggravating.
fun electoral season. Fun.

(I would probably play more social games if it didn’t feel like setting myself up for demoralizing experiences, so walking around downtown looking at art is nontrivially appealing)
splatoon
I only managed to get hold of Splatoon on the Wii U just as everyone migrated to 2 on the Switch, and was too absorbed in PLG Eevee to punch in before the last Fest
At this point, should I just hold out for Splatoon 3, or enjoy the wealth of single-player content + Octo Expansion? I didn’t really get far with single-player on 1 and it always felt like community stuff was a big part of the point
It doesn’t help that the Rifftrax/DVD version has that annoying speed up you get when some standards conversion or another was done without a pitch shift to match the original, like old R2 Star Trek releases or every release of He-Man/She-Ra since the original masters were lost
“Why is everyone a chipmunk oooohhh right yeah”
cw: food/drink, caffeine at ill-advised hours
The shit part is being stuck in a convenience store near midnight until an annoying process finally completes itself
The nice part is that it’s got a shiny new automated drinks selection and I could have a 99 cent frozen coffee at exactly the wrong time of night if I wanted
I assure you that I want to

CW: food, meat, cravings
RESULT: it was meat, but would have benefited from a 24-hour soak, more salt, and probably reducing the cola. At that point, why not just break out the bottle of actual galbi sauce and go full pear’n’sugar
