- Comment on Read the wild email Tesla is sending to suppliers amid Supercharger chaos 1 week ago:
Yeah, I wonder if the contracts with the rest of the industry had anything in place for something like this? It’s… really weird.
- Comment on Read the wild email Tesla is sending to suppliers amid Supercharger chaos 1 week ago:
To all concerned: You may be aware that there has been a recent adjustment with the Supercharger organization which is presently undergoing a sudden and thorough restructuring. If you have already received this email, please disregard it as we are attempting to connect with our suppliers and contractors. As part of this process, we are in the midst of establishing new leadership roles, prioritizing projects, and streamlining our payment procedures. Due to the transitional nature of this phase, we are asking for your patience with our response time. I understand that this period of change may be challenging and that patience is not easy when expecting to be paid, however, I want to express my sincere appreciation for your understanding and support as we navigate through this transition. At this time, please hold on breaking ground on any newly awarded construction projects and planned pre-construction walks. If currently working on an active Supercharging construction site, please continue. Contact [email redacted] for further questions, comments, and concerns. Additionally, hold on working on any new material orders. Contact [email redacted] for further questions, comments, and concerns. If waiting on delayed payment, please contact [email redacted] for a status update. Thank you for your cooperation and patience.

What makes you think it’s a handheld game? It was originally designed for and did release on the Wii U, a console
- Comment on What is your favourite game console? 2 weeks ago:
I never had a n3ds! Couldn’t bear parting with my animal crossing poptart edition
- Comment on What is your favourite game console? 2 weeks ago:
If I had to pick all time? 3DS! It has sooo many games with supporting the DS and 3DS library, DSiWare, and of course homebrew.
If I’m picking my current favorite I’ve got to go with the Playdate. It’s portable and has a lot of fun small-scale games.
(yes I like handholds what makes you ask)
- Comment on Maybe hot take: as a handheld, the regular switch is an awful handheld 2 weeks ago:
I think that discounting the 5th best selling game of the year (plus all the awards) because you like games on other platforms is a mistake.
Graphics aren’t everything!

I asked Perplexity with “What is the scifi book from the 90s that had “ractors,” where a person would act in front of a camera and a computer would animate a CG model?”and got (what other commenters are saying) is the correct answer:
The science fiction book from the 90s that featured “ractors,” where a person would act in front of a camera and a computer would animate a CG model, is not directly mentioned in the provided search results. However, based on the description of “ractors” and the context of computer animation and CG models, it seems you might be referring to “The Diamond Age” by Neal Stephenson, published in 1995. In this novel, the term “ractor” (short for “interactive actor”) is used to describe performers who participate in interactive theater through virtual reality environments, which could align with the concept of acting in front of a camera to animate a CG model. However, since this specific detail is not found in the search results, this answer is based on existing knowledge outside of the provided sources.
