  • Wait, do European Costcos have coin unlock carts? The only major store in the US that does that is Aldi, and they just brought their cart culture from Germany, whereas I’d kinda expect Costco to bring their cart culture (and their Costco-sized carts) to other countries. (Weirdly I’m pretty sure Trader Joe’s, owned by Other Aldi, doesn’t have coin carts.)






  • Anecdotally, a friend of mine pirated the Crash Team Racing remake because they loved the original as a child but they were furious about the microtransactions shoved into the remake just after launch. They wanted a couch co op game to play with their roommate and that was already loaded up in their emulator so that’s what they played… roommate went on to buy the remake because it’s one of the best kart racers on PlayStation. Piracy resulted in a sale they wouldn’t have otherwise made.








  • Honestly I can’t tell the difference with the launcher compared to what shipped on the phone, not that I used that very much - but I upgraded from an LG G8 and the whole thing looks very familiar. The camera app feels very much like the one on my LG but I suspect someone who is more into photography than me would be frustrated by it. But the standout awful stock app has got to be the clock, the ui is clunky and feels awful to use, the tones are obnoxious, and it has all the visual flair of a C student project.

    I’ve mostly just replaced it with the alarm on my smart watch.
