what is the Miiverse?

It was a sort of social space Nintendo ran on the 3DS and Wii U. Kind of combination chat room and message board with a space where Miis (Nintendo avatars) could "hang out". It could also be used to send messages though games, like you could leave a message as a sort of note in Mario Maker or Splatoon. I thought it was kind of cool, tbh.

not sure if I'm too old, too young or too poor

It was shut down in......no. 2017 was not 7 years ago. No.

I still have the T-Mobile G1 phone plan.

Man that was a great phone.

My plan isn't quite that old, but it's getting up there. They recently increased my price by a few dollars per line. Then they tried to get me to move to a current plan, which turned out to be 20% higher price for less return. I had to try not to burst out laughing at the poor guy's face.

I've been with TMo for more than 20 years--they're the only carrier I've ever used--but if my price goes up again I'm jumping ship.

OK but did it really flop or where they expecting it to sell a morbillion units weekly?

From another article:

Sources say that Ubisoft was expecting The Lost Crown to sell similarly to the biggest Metroidvania’s in the market, with millions of units sold in a relatively short space of time. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has sold approximately one million units at the time of writing.

I still don't know if a USB micro or mini is the one that charges my PS4 controller

It's Micro-B, to be specific.

They're from Idaho.

Bonus points: the guy is from Illinois.

Maybe we should chip in and buy a second robot.

Hear me out: three robots.

You don't actually give the card to the employees, do you?

Typically when I go through a drive thru, I hand my card to someone who then leans back inside to swipe/tap/whatever it, then they hand it back. So yes, commonly I do give my card to an employee for at least a few seconds.

During 2020-2022 more of them were in the habit of placing the PIN pad at the window so it could be reached by customers from their cars, but it wasn't designed to be used that way and I'm sure it caused other issues.

I got a Rocket League key from 2016, why in the world would anyone want that?

Probably because Rocket League was removed from Steam after Epic bought the developer, and your key may still be usable on Steam.

For the longest time, I thought it was just an upgraded Wii and I already had one.

Target wasn't helping:
