  • I don’t know if this is the easiest way, but it has worked well for me. I have a folder on my computer set up to be accessible from the local network. When I need to put some files on the deck, I switch it into desktop mode where I have a shortcut to the network folder. Then I just take the files out and put them wherever I need them on the deck.


  • Whenever I am building larger structures, I find it helpful to design smaller modular pieces that can fit together to make a larger structure. Maybe you can start with the corners to find a good way to outline the building, and then come up with some variations of tiling wall segments that you can repeat 3 or 4 times across the width of the building. Here are some examples of larger builds from my vanilla world that are just a few modular pieces put together into a larger structure:

    Storage building

    A rail bridge

    End portal pyramid

    A city












  • I just finished Scorn, it was very interesting.

    I feel like the combat wasn’t necessary since the puzzles and exploration felt like the main focus of the game, but at the same time, I don’t know how they could have made the environment feel dangerous without the threat of death. There was a puzzle later in the game that did require you to injure yourself, but I don’t think that would have worked as a replacement for combat in the rest of the game, and being present throughout the game would lessen the impact of it in the short moment where it is actually necessary. Also, the guns were very neat looking, so that is an additional upside to having combat.

    Even though this sounds like a lot of complaining, I don’t think I could come up with any other criticisms, as pretty much everything else about the game felt perfect. I don’t think it is the sort of thing I will play again, but it will be something I will think back on more than most other games.





  • As far as I’m aware, the inclusion of real-world animal species in the older anime and games was due to the lack of variety in existing Pokemon species. The last time I know they referred to a real animal was in 2016, where the Pokedex entry for Raichu says it can knock out an Indian elephant. More recently, Raichu’s Pokedex entry was updated to instead say it can incapacitate a Copperajah.
