Nobody was busted, this is a clickbait post. Even the article just says they hired 2 cosplayers as entertainers, company never pretended that they were robots.

"E Ink" is a company, producing displays with a very specific proprietary technology. I think you mean to say more "e-paper", which is a generic term for "paper-like" displays. And unfortunately, right now the only real competition is RLCD (reflective LCD), which is arguably not paper-like enough to qualify. Yes, it's reflective, but other than that, it's just a higher density Game Boy screen. Which is great and all, but it can't compete with E Ink in a lot of aspects. It doesn't have retention, you gotta power the screen, so no signage and stuff. It has LCD-grade bad viewing angles.

RLCDs are cool for certain uses though. For example, I sometimes choose to play on my AGS-001 over my Analogue Pocket if I'm outside in bright daylight.

Afaik, this is false. There actually are flushable wet wipes that dissolve in water just like regular TP, but a little slower. Just make sure to check it for yourself and don't rely on what the packaging says.

I grew up in a Muslim country and I hate these. They are always either too strong or too weak. And they somehow always leak (no idea why).

Wet wipes ftw.

I pay ₴150 (Ukrainian hryvnia) for a family plan of 6, which is currently roughly $3.60 (after the currency tanked due to war). *hide the pain dab*

The first electronic game Nintendo released was Color TV-Game 6: color TV-Game 6

Then Game & Watch, and eventually Famicom, a.k.a. NES in the West.

Haven't played 6, but at this point I expect them to add a quick ending scenario in every sequel.

FC5 also has the option to finish the game in a couple of minutes if you do what the antagonist asks. Don't remember what exactly it was, leave with your team, I believe.

I've never seen that being used, but it seems it's a thing in English. What if you wanna best deeper? Do you go {}? Then <>? «»?

Not as good as my other primary languages, I have to admit. Finnish has too many consonants for my taste.

Some of those parens could've been replaced with commas and retain their meaning (that's what I do to avoid nesting, so that it doesn't get confusing).

I usually see downvotes on comments that go against hexbear. Maybe bears with accounts on multiple instances.
