As far as I'm aware, the big "problem" with Mastodon (and the Fediverse as a whole) is that you have to choose an instance to join. It's an aditional step that mainstream social media does not have and it's already enough to push regular people away. It's kinda like trying to convince a Windows user to jump ship to Linux, by the time you begin explaining what a distro is you've already lost them.

Huh, I thought this would be about a new device. I guess Anbernic's release schedule has spoiled me.

And just for the sake of completion, yes, it also has an Epic store page.

My friend down the street had an LX back in '83. It was an amazing device but sadly way too ahead of its time.

They opened up a genre of gaming to people that would have never even considered it.

Can confirm, that was my case. Before this game the closest thing to a turn-based CRPG I had played was KOTOR, now I've already purchased DOS:2 and I'm looking forward to Larian's next title.

Do I need a foldable phone? No. Do I like the idea of owning a phone that is actually small enough to be used with one hand and can fit anywhere? Yes. Besides, closing it to end a call is very cool.

Why not? It's not like Huawei can just use Android so I doubt they'll pull the plug on this system anytime soon.

Yeah, I doubt most people will go this route. VPNs cost money, Twitter alternatives are free.

I don't think it's that deep. Deadlock, the game they mention in their rant, also has a pretty diverse roster. I think Concord just looks very generic both in gameplay and in character designs.

ConcernedApe comes to mind. I think he has actually said that a big reason why he made his game is so people would listen to his music.

It's a shame that's not the default because while do find EVs interesting there's no way I'm buying a car that may stop working after a failed software update. Did early EV manufacturers feel the need to put as many bleeding edge features as possible in their vehicles to make them more alluring? Cause I can't imagine another reason to turn a car into a driveable smartphone.
