"Can we leave politics out of the FGC? (No.)"

New ASK PAT is up! Really funny timing on this one but it's less about the modern American political climate and more on the values that underpin what I find beautiful about the FGC.

One of the biggest undiscussed/underdiscussed stories of the year is how bad Apple Intelligence is. It's the first time I can remember Apple forcing such a questionable and poorly-designed product on users
