That’s cool. I’ve always been a big fan of widgets, hopefully this encourages more devs to make them.

I’ve not played many since they went 3D, do all the NPCs still look like they were designed with the Mii Maker?

Good to know!

Well the last security update was nearly two years ago, so unless you’ve found a good custom ROM then that might be sooner than you think ;)

This article seems to be giving a lot of praise while saying ‘it’s slightly better but still bad’

I had a different phone with the stupid curved edge screen and it also became a spiderweb of cracks after a small impact. I really hoped that manufacturers had realised that they were a terrible gimmick, but here we are again!

Hard to say what the best is as it’s very much an opinion but HG/SS is probably a good choice

I’m not sure I’d recommend X/Y to start as others have. I definitely enjoyed it but it was noticeably dumbed-down compared to older games. It’s not as bad as S/M (which was so trivially challenge-free I got bored), but I’m concerned that you might just not be interested. They say that game freak keep releasing games for small children despite the players growing up, so bare that in mind if you find the newer games too easy.

I’m not sure I can recommend R/B/Y to a newbie either, as without any nostalgia they will probably seem incredibly dated. Maybe FR/LG is a good place to start, I hardly played it but it seems like you get the original experience with a bit of polish. I feel it’s better to start with an older game as then if you like it you can continue through them in order rather than going back to something with less features. That said if you think it’s too old and you’re not enjoying it then just skip to something newer!

Are you posting an advert, new account with no post or comment history?

You only need two of them, one for 1 and one for 0

Sadly the article is very light on how this actually works. I’m guessing it involves setting up an authenticator on the phone (something they encourage anyway) and just using a QR code as a new way of interacting with it?

I always heard “if it’s XcQ, the link stays blue”

Huh, apparently I’ve picked up a few free Android games over the years, may as well take this opportunity to actually install and play them before they maybe disappear forever

I know all phones basically look the same nowadays, but those pics really did remind me of this classic

Ooh does Futo have it’s own FOSS swipe-typing implementation?

How does it compare to Heliboard?

Yes, by buying it second hand!

I actually use adblock.dns.mullvad.net, I just recommend adguard for beginners as it seems more stable (though I’ve not had a stability issue with mullvad for years)

You can also just set your private DNS to something like dns.adguard.com and block almost all ads in every app, no installs required

My timeline is full of reactive hot takes and gotchas by people who still seem to think they can quote-dunk their way out of fascism—or who know they can’t, but simply can’t resist taking the bait

Whatever happened to “don’t feed the trolls”, eh?
