I tried the #AlexisBledel special of #Wendys 6 piece #ChickenNuggets with barbecue dipping sauce, chased by a Hi-C Fruit Punch.

I was expecting the sweetness of the barbecue sauce to clash with the sweetness of the fruit punch. But the sweetness of the Hi-C was surprisingly subdued, which complimented well with the nuggets.

The breading on Wendy's nuggets is more textured and crumby. Compared to McDonald's McNuggets, that's more of a thin layer of solid, smoother bread over the chicken.

#Nintendo makes some of the best games from established genres. But their need to control their games after they've been sold to consumers is anti-consumer.

From Nintendo trying to shut down game rentals, the Game Genie, unofficial guides, and legal emulation; I've grown weary of throwing money at a company that has — and continues to — actively try to control what consumers do with their legally purchased games.

Traditional video game press reviewers usually go through ethics training, and go through a peer review process. Their editorial team is separate from their marketing team. Reviewers don't feel pressured or swayed by ad revenue or the loss of early access to games from unfavorable reviews.

YouTubers are the editoral team, marketing team, and PR team all rolled into 1. They're more susceptible to convey games favorably in order to not lose sponsorships or early review copies. But not always.

Gonna drop a hundred dollars,
just to change the colors.

Even though I can't see it.
Although there's no benefit
to the typing experience.

I hope Asus can stick with the #ROGAlly long term, and not release new SKUs of it every few months like GPD and Aya Neo.

These handhelds have been trying to compete with the #SteamDeck on raw performance. But it's the Deck's price and user experience that has allowed it to reach more people than other PC handhelds.

Otherwise the Ally is filling a niche left open by the Deck, not directly competing with it.
