Gods the Aussie social media ban breaks my heart as a person on the neurodivergence spectrum.
Because as a teenager I can tell you that I got along with damn near no one at school and got bullied a lot.
My friends were all on the internet. In forums. On IRC. That’s where my people were.

It pains me that there is an entire generation of people who have now grown up trained to view manipulative, engagement-farming gambling games as the norm for video games.

I understand being critical of Harris' handling of trans rights during the campaign... but if Hasan really thinks trans people wouldn't be better off under a Harris presidency, he is absolutely fucking wrong. 1/3

The actual content of the patent refers to pokeballs (or the idea of them at least) specifically as a mechanic.
“Summoning a character and make them battle” is still unpatented and likely to broad an idea to patent.
Outlets are getting sensational in this reporting for anti-Nintendo hate clicks.
