The owner was asked if an autism-awareness event could be held at his business. He accepted, in part because he has family members with autism. After the event has gotten rolling, he realizes it’s actually a campaign event for the GOP and tells the guy to fuck off.

Seems like they either deliberately went out of their way to hide what the event really was, or the business owner didn’t really bother to look up who was holding the event and put two-and-two together.

GBA really had an attractive cartridge design; just the molding itself. Nice proportions.

They know the way the wind is blowing on this issue, and they trade in public image nearly as much as they do in physical goods. This is a good look for them, and when it was clear they wouldn’t win, they’re happy to join the winning side.

It’s also not completely out of left field—they’ve been expanding access to previously-internal repair guides and even tools over the last few years.

Not to mention it’s literally a “Choosy devs choose GIF” joke, aping “Choosy moms choose Jif”. Soft-g homies for jife.

Might be part of an immobilizer system. A lot of “buy now, pay later, we don’t reject anyone for bad credit” places use them. Not that Carvana is like that (I bought my car from them and had a great experience, though I’ve heard other scammy things since then) but since you mention a “third-party” maybe there’s something funky going on.

There’s a TikTok trend (I think?) of people drinking the “Grimace Birthday Shake” from McDonald’s and dying.

I don’t believe for a minute that this person has truly tested every game they claim to have on that thing, much less optimized.

You can download clean ROM sets of just about everything on their list with essentially zero effort, and the difficulty of setting up emulators is super overblown most of the time, especially with options like EmuDeck becoming more mature.

That site also seems super-sketch, but that may just be the fact that English is clearly their second language, which isn’t a fair indicator of quality.
