This one seems different in that the barrier for entry is pretty high, plus the actual finished mod is not intended to be played very heavily.

Per their project page in 2024 they were taking orders to create the shells. Maybe there’s a loophole that exists where the housing is exempt because the internals are DIY.

In any case, money was involved.

I just can’t believe that the retro community has not latched onto some trademark moniker at this point to avoid any kind of legal trouble. Tendo? NTDO? I dunno, anything! lol

Printing “Nintendo” on the device has got to be a bad idea, right?

At the very least it’ll help with your spelling and grammar.

That’s unreal. The timelapse of the move is worth the click.

ETA: the Samsung car moving robots are kind of amazing. Goodbye valet jobs!

Depends on the complexity of the route. When I visit my parents in another city (5-6 hour drive) I write down the intersections/exit numbers to look out for on a sticky note I leave on the dashboard.

I guess if you wanted to get detailed you could include the distance then as you drive do the mental math as an activity for yourself.

I do something similar except I’ll stop using my GPS if I’ve driven the route multiple times.

I still remember picking up a couple TouchPads during the fire sale. That was my first foray into sideloading and retro gaming. Both tablets are now long dead, but we had fun times!

With American-made phones and American call centres, right? Right?

I’m pretty sure Dyson killed these themselves the moment they turned these from concept to product.

I like the direction, but I’d need the transparency to be dialled down a bit cause the contrast is missing.

My top three favourites from the PS3 era would probably be Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, and Journey.

In their defense it is acknowledged by the university.

The violin is a microscopic image rather than a playable instrument and has not been officially confirmed as the world’s smallest violin, the university said.

Huh, never knew that was a thing.

If you’ve got it in you, you could head on out to your nearest Asian supermarket and there’s a chance they carry the same, if not similar, tin of hard candies you can buy and cry eating.

I tried the in-store demo and was blown away, but even after that short period I wasn’t sold over how isolated the entire experience is. The day may never arrive, but I can wait until these fit on a regular pair of glasses.

That’s so cool, thank you. I never delved into Asimov before, but it’s sounds like I really should.

That’s a good point! SNW does have Pike cooking for some of his crew on occasion.

Never thought about it before, but is there science fiction with a premise where humans might someday forget how to cook because it’s no longer a part of the culture?
