Got a used copy of Pokemon Saphire for the Gameboy Advance.

Damn look at this old save game of its previous owner. Is that really 370h? 🥺

@ctietze Yeah. A bit sad that this magic disappears someday in our lives.

@obrhoff @ctietze these days you can save all this time by just watching someone else play the game on youtube while you're doing something else 🤷🏽‍♂️

@icanzilb @ctietze I can see you got already left behind.

These days you can watch AI playing Pokemon on YouTube while you’re making money. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@obrhoff @ctietze what if, AI watches youtube where AI plays the game while listens to AI bands on Spotify? You basically have 3x the savings - you are free to lay in bed all day and watch AI watch Netflix instead of you 💡

@krzyzanowskim @icanzilb @ctietze It’s probably also the reality in the internet-flooded bots.

The weird thing about it is that everyone plays along with it since everyone is afraid to reveal that their traction is fake.

Anyway lets get back to Pokemon 🕹️

How Bots Corrupted Advertising

Botmasters have created a Kafkaesque system where companies are paying huge sums to show their ads to bots. And everyone is fine with this.

@krzyzanowskim @obrhoff @ctietze illegal how 🤔 like fbi knocking on your door a-la Hackers movie or some wishful thinking terms that would hurt streaming stats if enforced (by whom though?) 🤷🏽‍♂️

@obrhoff @ctietze Agree on the "dedication" aspect of the magic, but if you're looking for something to fill the "discovery" part, I highly recommend the 2016 video series “Brandon Plays Pokémon” from Easy Allies. It's so much fun listening to someone have the exact same discoveries, reactions and theories we had at the time.

@imkh @ctietze It’s a bit long, but I can relate to it.

What I plan to do is play with my daughter the original Pokémon. Not sure if she will like it, but she starts to become crazy about Pokémon, and I might sell it to her.
