Spoofing amiibos on TOTK

Yeet

It is specially useful, it is not especially/generally useful lol

It could be a typo, though I think when we say something "isn't specially/specifically/particularly useful" we mean "compared to the set of all features, specifically this subset feature is not that useful" not that the feature isn't useful for specific things

I'm surprised the seeds would survive the heat and pressure of a shotgun cartridge blast that contained enough gun powder to embed them in a wall

90% of the time I remember running into it, it was just used to reverse a copy of the list. (i.e. 'a = l[::-1]')

Small story about the time I read the collection Feynman's letters (I think it's a book called Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Track)

The beginning of the book contained a lot of cute letters between him and his wife Arline. I was curious how much of the book would be this, considering I know she died of TB, so I flipped ahead and saw a letter to her quite a few more pages in, so I figured she must survive until at least that point. I continued reading and was emotionally caught off guard when she died only a couple of pages later. I'm not sure why I was so distraught at the death of someone I did not know who died 80 years ago, but I was looking forward to, and had the expectation of, a few more cute letters between them.

When I got to the letter that I had originally flipped to, it was the one he was writing after her death as a form of therapy to himself.

FWIW, they had a very cute relationship and the letters are worth reading for that alone.

Those crypto gals over there? total bros

The average crypto bro might be more against iris scanning than the general population.

I also haven't heard of it, but I'm curious of the "when acquiring it" part of the quote.

Did the current owner not create the site? Did they acquire an anonymous file sharing site and are now shutting it down for the predictable anonymous file sharing issues?

Perhaps it's an English translation issue or something, but, in common parlance, the word "acquire" means to buy or obtain from elsewhere. (I don't think they are referring to the domain name itself, because that has nothing to do with the complaints listed.)

Three links is not a large number of links, AND you don't "have" to dive into every link in lists of "useful links".

That said, I don't think op is useless.

I'm amazed I never heard of the games outside of Pokemon and Ingress

Did you know they have NBA, Pikmin, and Peridot (whatever that is) games?

(Also they apparently developed a now shutdown Harry Potter game)

They also have Marvel and Monster Hunter games coming out this year.

I don't find their game loops fun, but damn do they have amazing IP partners

According to basic Google searches, their revenue is literally higher now than 2016.

Now they have less than 1/3 of the active users compared to then, but their revenue is closer to 1bn then it was then.

It does seem like a failure because they were so popular and culturally relevant at their peak, whereas now I don't hear about them at all. But, I still think they are printing money and have one of the best "outstanding data collection to the public" apps ever
