I started a new playthrough of HeartGold when @chuggaaconroy started his lets play and have been doing dailies every morning during my commute to work. I've never played the game like that in the past and tbh I think Tama is right these games are way better than I remembered.
For years I’ve been saying that the Johto level curve is an issue that does not exist Finally a YouTuber that actually plays these games and proves it’s not an issue. An OG Poketuber too Its so refreshing after many modern Poketubers have turned it into a common misconception

I also think that there is a more interesting conversation to be had about friction in games, especially RPGs. Forcing the player to figure out things on their own or grinding for a specific piece of gear adds to the overall experience of a game.

Remove too much friction and the game starts to feel more like scrolling tiktok or finding the next YouTube video. This is why I think the skips in ORAS were pretty lame. ORAS were fine games but are inferior to the originals because they remove too much friction.

This is a shame cause I cannot use Dia on my work laptop (blocked because of AI) and Arc is pretty integral to my workflow at the moment. TBC gets a lot of hate but I think they’re one of the few companies making software that’s both functional AND fun. It was a pleasure Arc 🫡
We've decided to sunset Arc on December 22, 2026. That's not an easy sentence to write. We spent years building Arc and celebrating each and every release along the way: we have so much pride and love for what we made alongside the Arc community. Our priority is to deliver best-in-class security for our members. Keeping a browser secure takes constant, dedicated work that is only increasing in the age of AI. Dia was built from the ground up to meet today’s security standards, so that's where our engineering and security teams will focus moving forward. We've worked to make switching to @diabrowser as easy as possible for Arc members. Here's how: · Your passwords, bookmarks, extensions and history come over to Dia seamlessly. · Spaces, Folders, and Tab Groups are in Dia and import over with your data intact. · Dia now surpasses Arc benchmarks in stability, speed, and security. · The browser features you use in Arc are free in Dia, and the AI is optional. Thank you for using Arc, for pushing us to make it better, and for building alongside us. The team that made Arc is the same team behind Dia, and some of our most ambitious work is just ahead. We'd love for you to be there with us when it lands.

I have been a primarily a PC gamer since 2017 and I love it. I love the freedom it provides, and I’ve always been a tinkerer. These days it’s been tough to justify being on PC due to time and just how ridiculously expensive parts are these days. Gotta love AI 😒
There is an absolute shift happening and it's not in favor of PC. PC gaming sucks and at least more are finally admitting it publicly.

The comment section here just shows a complete lack of empathy in society. Basically screams “Fuck you I got mine” which is kinda sad tbh. Gambling ruins lives, promoting it contributes to the abuse. You can use whatever logic you want to try and make yourself feel better.
Genuinely, am I missing something? Nade used to rip CS cases for hours and everyone loved it. That's gambling. His audience is grown adults, he's not NickEh30. The NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL all have betting partners with ads plastered across the actual games. Is this just the internet being the internet?

I wonder what are the intentions of TPCi when running huge events like Championship Sunday at the Chase arena? Huge spectacle, really hype, gives people a reason to try and play the TCG to see what the hype is only to be greeted by TCG Live and TOM
I’m gonna be so real, I think the old Pokemon TCG Online client looks so ugly 😭 like if a game released looking like this in 2026 yall would say it’s hideous. yall just have your nostalgia goggles on fr

It would make the most sense at least to me to at least make sure your house is in order before you start inviting people in but here we are. We just want modern functioning software but every time we get an update the monkey paw curls 😭
