TPCi really needs to figure out a better system for Pokémon Center slots for EUIC, NAIC and Worlds

Every time it's an absolute mess and people can't book, waste their time and it's just poor.

Why they continue to use this system, I have no idea

Wolfe est aussi un cas particulier parce qu'à ma connaissance personne n'est autant une célébrité, un personnage principal que lui à l'échelle de sa scène respective. Mais si quelqu'un comme lui peut se plaindre d'avoir été sexuellement agressé, alors le nombre réel de victimes doit rester alarmant.

Bluesky needs a filter.
Like, a really good filter that filters out any US politics from my feeds.

I wish there was a way to filter out all of the US politics from my Bluesky feed. I feel for all my American friends, but that shit drowns out the rest of the world to a point where I just cannot cope with anymore.

She does look very alike Twilight Princess Zelda, but Zelda looks different in basically every game though - there's no set look. Plus I presume Nintendo wanted a British or Irish actor because Zelda has an RP accent.

If Russia India and the United States were building solar at the same rate as China the renewable energy transition would be over in no time. Unfortunately three of these countries are easily controlled by the interests of fossil fuel capitalists

I'm at the famous Oxford Street platform (unfortunately in this heat)! It's Victoria Line northbound BTW, in case anyone else wants to know where exactly it is.

It's never about the science. It's always about having a legal basis for your fear and hatred of other people.

Dear Byron,
Thanks for the script of the novel. I don't know what happened to the
first one. It may have been a victim of the office move (see above).
I'll respond as quickly and briefly as possible.
One general point. A thing I have had said to me over and over again
whenever I've done public appearances and readings and so on in the
States is this: Please don't let anyone Americanise it! We like it the
way it is!
There are some changes in the script that simply don't make sense.
Arthur Dent is English, the setting is England, and has been in every
single manifestation of HHGG ever. The 'Horse and Groom' pub that
Arthur and Ford go to is an English pub, the 'pounds' they pay with

are English (but make it twenty pounds rather than five- inflation) So
why suddenly 'Newark' instead of 'Rickmansworth'? And
'Bloomingdales' instead of 'Marks & Spencer'? The fact that
Rickmansworth is not within the continental United States doesn't
mean that it doesn't exist! American audiences do not need to feel
disturbed by the notion that places do exist outside the US or that
people might suddenly refer to them in works of fiction. You
wouldn't, presumably, replace Ursa Minor Beta with 'Des Moines'.
There is no Bloomingdales in England, and Bloomingdales is not a
generic term for large department stores. If you feel that referring to
"Marks & Spencer' might seriously freak out Americans because they
haven't heard of it (or because Marks and Spencer owns Brooks
Brothers) we could either put warning stickers on the cover ("The text
of this book contains references to places and institutions outside the
continental United States and may cause offence to people who haven't
heard of them") or you could, I suppose, put 'Harrods', which most
people will have heard of. Or we could even take the appalling risk of
just recklessly mentioning things that people won't have heard of and
see if they survive the experience. They probably will - when people
are born they haven't heard of anything or anywhere, but seem to get
through the first few years of their lives without ill-effects.

Haha! Love this letter from Douglas Adams to his US editor about not Americanising the text of Hitchhiker's Guide. 🐋🌸

Steam Deck is not a mass market device. It's a very niche device with limited appeal to a certain subset of gamers.

That's not a knock, that's just the way it is.

Switch 2 will probably outsell Steam Deck's entire lifetime sales in less than 6 months.

The Mona Lisa is saying goodbye to the Nintendo 3DS. In 2012, The Louvre replaced its audio guides with 5,000 Nintendo 3DS consoles featuring customized content like interactive maps, audio commentaries, and themed tours. But as Nintendo has run out of ...

NOOO The Louvre is getting rid of their 3DS guides 😭
