Is it chilling? I was already going to stay where I am, whether I made a copy or not. Sharding off a replica to go on for me would be strictly better than not doing that

But like… do I care? “I” will survive, even if I’m not the one who does the surviving.

It’s fiiine, I thought it was funny and also possibly true

Anecdotally, and perhaps ironically, they were right, I am dyslexic, and I definitely do perceive letters as permuted quite often. The second link really chuffs me because it’s clearly a non-dyslexic person openly speculating as if they’re authoritative, but this theory of “3d processing” words jives with neither other literature about dyslexia, nor my own experience. I’m pretty sure this is just someone showerthinking about a disorder. The errors I make are pretty incompatible with seeing whole words from the wrong “angle”; letters are switched, sometimes even between adjacent words (I might see “angle” as “angel”, or “and rain” as “an drain”), similar graphs are misread as each other (the classic example is [b / d / p / q], sometimes also g depending on font; [w / m / E], [e / a], [T / L], so on), words can be entirely displaced elsewhere in a sentence…

So yes, like, I definitely do see some letters backwards or upside down or mirrored, etc.

I live in a super tiny town on the edge of nowhere, so I only met like six people, who all regularly streetpassed with each other. So I set my router up with fakepass or whatever it was called, the software that let me streetpass with people all over the world, and that was huge fun. Then they set up some kind of thing where every Mcdonalds in NA was streetpass linked or something, so I didn’t have to do the router thing anymore, and I started making regular trips to the park beside McDonalds, because their wifi just barely reached and I’d get streetpasses.

I bought the Plaza DLC, whatever it was called, and I played every game for hours. It was just so fun to see that there were other people doing the same thing as me. It made everything feel a bit like an MMO. I wish it’d come back for the Switch 2.

Absolutely in love with the Skull & Go Jumpgate. The Core Drive lets me dock my phone to my TV, too. Also, come on, it’s called a Jumpgate with ejectable Core Drive. How can you not want it based on name alone lol

That actually is probably the only valid part of this complaint, but it’s a bit opaque without context. In Splatoon 1, each gender had a different victory pose for each weapon type; a girl winning with a minigun would have a different pose than a boy winning with a minigun, or a girl winning with a paintroller. In Splatoon 3, instead you choose your own victory pose from a few dozen options. One of options they added earlier this year is to just use the ones from Splatoon 1.

Except… Despite the name (and social media posts, in the runup to its release) implying it’s all the Splatoon 1 ones, it’s actually only the girls’ poses. The boys’ poses are not available at all.

All his other stuff is pretty ridiculous, the games are absolutely inclusive (equality feels like prejudice when you’re used to privilege, and all) but I do get feeling like you’re being given the cold shoulder when you’re told “here’s all the poses from Splatoon 1!” and then your entire gender is left out.
