I’m also extremely bitter about how infinity train was treated. I wonder if anything will come of the rumors of a graphic novel or comic book style season just so the story can continue.
Owen Dennis and the studio behind Star Trek Lower Decks. I'm not worried about this show in the slightest. It should be great. I have never played among us, but anything with those minds behind it has to turn out great IMO
Tangent here: Not sure if you've seen Owl House, but they show a tamagotchi-like device in the second season** where you can send little pictograph messages to your friends and WHAT I'D GIVE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. It reminded me a bit of Pictochat on the DS. But I know any device that was made would be pretty expensive since it would need wireless even if it wasn't internet-connected. So that means it'd have a high resolution screen to justify the price, which would make it more expensive, then thicker for bigger batteries. It just doesn't seem realistic or even something I'd want in the end with all the upgrades.
I do really miss little devices with low resolution displays. A lot of charm goes away for me when you don't have to use your imagination at all- same with furbies that speak in clear english. There's SO much room for expanding on the ideas of furbies and tamagotchis that hasn't been explored, but unfortunately, I'm not sure if that'll ever actually exist until a group of nerds get together and makes it happen. Being able to fight and collect things and have actual permanence in the game without babying the digital pet constantly would be amazing!
Oh! I actually thought the Furby Connect was another mainline furby, but I honestly didn't find it good looking, so I passed on it completely (I've been more of a tamagotchi person anyway). I think a lot of the "furbies are creepy" opinions are just rehashed fear from the lies that were spread about the first couple furbies. I wasn't allowed to have one when I was a kid because the people on tv said it was creepy because they might have cameras and would record children.
If my parents knew I have a stripped gen 2 furby with a single eyelash on my shelf looking like a skeleton, they'd definitely think it was creepy haha
Didn’t the terrifying Furby Connects of like 2016 have the ability to connect to internet-connected apps and would send OTA updates to the furby on a weekly basis? I think the furby itself was receive-only and wouldn’t send anything, but I might be wrong. I still think it’s fair to say that furby was at least semi-connected to the internet.
I’m not a programmer, but I work in a creative field. I routinely have to create red herrings so the producer, creative director, and clients can feel like they contributed by suggesting to remove the thing I intentionally put in there just so they can suggest its removal. It’s exhausting trying to manage everyone’s egos.
Garbage opinion piece that focuses way too much on pedantry and outdated definitions. It’s like something I’d see my retired aunt post on Nextdoor.
I'm mainly worried that some of the people I like watching on youtube will decide that youtube isn't worth it anymore and they'll stop making content entirely. Or even switch over to twitch, which I've never been able to get into.
I'm also a premium YT subscriber and if I see this or they kick me off for using PiHole, I'll cancel my account and just set up some automation with YT-DLP to Plex or Infuse for channels I like watching. If youtube decided that it's their turn to get shitty like the rest of the popular internet, I'll be beyond upset.
