And ones that rely on a resistive touchscreen, like the bit in Hotel Dusk where you have to flick both breaker switches at the same time.

I doubt a “mushy” stylus would be a great experience for quickly answering math problems in Brain Age, or… doing basically anything in either of the two Zelda games. 😅

I know a lot of people with dual-screen handhelds use styluses (styli?) with a disc tip:

Which I guess would at least help with the friction. 🤔 I wonder if someone will make one that can fit into the slot on the Anbernic.

TiVo Plans to End Free Automatic Commercial Skipping in November

Especially when the “Ultimate” tier doesn’t even give you long enough to finish most games. 😬

Yeah, look at the difference between the main post and the edit. Oops, OP suddenly forgot how to use dashes.

We’re pleased to announce that we’re introducing ad-breaks to our Premium and Premium+ tiers, to give players greater choice! Our new Premium Ultra+ tier will give players a true ad-free experience for just £49.99 a month.*

*Additional charges may apply. Data collection required. Proprietary game controller required (sold separately). Subscription renews automatically until account holder’s death. Advertisements may still be shown in certain cases.

That is clear and concise, but still kinda has the whiff of “scary tech speak” about it. I guess it’s the same thing that makes some people freeze up when they see any math problem, and just assume it isn’t something they can handle. 😃

For all their many, many flaws, Microsoft’s style guidelines are pretty good for this sort of thing. E.g. they recommend replacing “Invalid ID” with “You need an ID that looks like this: someone@example.com”.

ETA: Maybe even just, “You need to enter the carrier credentials”?

Good use of Scary Shiny Glasses 👍

I’m autistic and this would really simplify things tbh

Thank goodness he didn’t hear about Channel 4 airing several hours of his lies back-to-back to “welcome” him to the UK. 😬

I do the opposite. 😄

If you give it back with scratches on it, will you be into negative equity? 😬 I assume it’ll come with all the bad parts of car leasing, too…

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU
HELPING YOU REMEMBER YOUR IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS

I always wonder whether we’re getting it backwards.

Like, did you see ads for kayaks because you had that conversation about kayaking, or did you have the conversation because an ad company/social network decided it was time for you to get into kayaking?

Or it accidentally got the wording wrong, oops

I bet building a ton of data centres is the answer ✨
