Hello there!
I boost a lot of posts, but I have a few things to say every now and then.
I am largely fine with boosting posts from people I disagree with even on significant, dividing issues. I usually don't, however, if they actively advocate for these ideas... so it goes :/

Saw a message on BlueSky that resonated with me just now, about how autistic characters should be allowed to be villains.
And it made me realise. Someone’s gender, race, disability, gender identity etc shouldn’t be a factor as to if they’re a hero or villain in a story.
The issue with many forms of media is that it seems to go to two extremes:
1. Every member of a group is evil because [writer prejudice]
2. No member of a group can be evil because it could be offensive

Another warning about these AI devices. I'm probably more pro-AI than many who will read this, but if you're going to use AI it should be as open as possible and local. People spent hundreds of dollars on these devices, and as of March they won't even be good as a paperweight. There's a possibility someone can hack these and extend their life somehow, but I wouldn't hold out hope.

The computer world needs a reboot.

I found one of the games that I remember playing when I was little: #TheNeverhood
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Neverhood
It brings me back good memories but also frustrating moments being stuck.
I have to try again!
GOG lets you share "stories" from wishlisted games. Here's mine for the #Neverhood:
This game is a classic in our family. The personality of the plot, characters, and the music, are just palpable. Me and my brothers pull it out most Christmases to play it again together. It gave me joy to see this on GOG. This game means a lot to us. It could finally be widely available and others could get to experience the Neverhood!
There's a really cool claymation puzzle game called The Neverhood. It was a big part of my childhood, and it looks like GOG might work to bring it back to modern devices! Consider voting to bring it back from the old times to modern-day computers, if it looks interesting to you. https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/game/the-neverhood

Well -- well-placed enough for a joy-con as a mouse.
Also, note what appears to be an optical sensor in the Switch 2 joycons in that picture.

I think the #Switch2 joycons are going to have the ability to work as mice, maybe as a replacement for the touchscreen when the switch is docked.
Have it control an OS-level mouse cursor to emulate the touchscreen and adoption of this feature could be a breeze, and maybe even backwards-compatible with Switch 1 games!
Design note: since the right joycon has its joystick lower than the left joycon's joystick, its buttons (ABXY) are well-placed for a mouse.
