Before Szymon sold MotionVFX (or left or whatever), I would've said each and every of their options was worth considering. It changed after that. Then subscriptions showed up. Still a great resource, I just feel that they lost something important back at that point.

It grinds my gears when people try to sound intelligent by using these sorts of meaningless wordways.

But the ergonomics/handling/design of it were so much better.

Ok, as a PoGo player, I feel I need to say that this isn’t some secret that’s just been unearthed.

Everyone who plays the game knows what Niantic’s intention is/was. (They recently sold the game to Scopely, who are a more conventional mobile game business.)

The game rewards you for doing things like scanning Pokéstops to create a 360 model with your camera. Nobody here was hoodwinked. There isn’t a scandal. It’s not a controversy.

This may be controversial, but i think Lightning was a better port than USB-C. (Speaking purely from a physical design perspective, not functionally.)
