All these new crazy changes to #Splatoon3 and the Undercover Brella hasn't had a meaningful buff since the splat/assist shield regen mechanic introduced in the last game.

I finally realized, after years of struggling with this, realized why the YouTube app keeps turning on the captions while I'm casting a video from my phone to a TV.
It's because the app turns on captions by default if the app is opened with the volume off.
And you can't disable this.

Every time I read more stuff about whatever tf is going on on Xhitter, I'm glad I left that toxic cesspool.
Here, my biggest problem with Bsky is public blocks. Not exactly thrilled about being on a list falsely labeling me as a 🍊supporter all because I blocked someone via an anti-spam/bot list.

I love Refined Gold Overhaul a lot so far, but holy crap, Thom and Kai are giving me a migraine.
My team has no hard counters, and also having to deal with Cross Chop, Focus Blast, and Heat Wave while only 6 badges in... 😵
It's making me heavily reconsider my teambuilding skills.

the white/purple onion trials in #Pikmin4 on Fierce is absolutely ridiculous.
Got to the one where you have to beat all those bosses, and the increased HP + Oatchi nerf makes it feel borderline impossible - by the time the time runs out, I still haven't beaten the Snagret or Emperor Bulblax.

the AUDACITY of my 7 year old phone to decide to have a very specific issue where attempting to unlock it causes it to crash and go back to the lock screen, with no solution, on the same day I'm supposed to transfer my stuff onto my brand new phone.

I made it through the entirety of #PokemonLegendsZA without ever using Plus Moves because I misunderstood how they worked.
