3 full size USB ports, a USB-C port (could it be Thunderbolt?), a 3.5mm headphone jack, and an SD card reader. All in all, Tom Nook’s laptop appears to have pretty decent connectivity options for a modern laptop, while still remaining relatively thin.

Maybe the inside is bigger than the outside to fit all of that stuff in ;-)

Ooh, it looks like the black MacBook from 2007! Definitely my favorite Apple laptop I've ever used. Less plasticky feeling than the iBook it replaced, more comfortable to use than the metal unibody machines that replaced it. I had the plain old white version and stuck a bunch of blackbook replacement parts on it to make it look kind of like an oreo.

Looks to me like a Windows UI or one that was influenced by Windows.

The UI looks linux-y to me. Windows never really had a large "dock".

And is that an ethernet port on the right?

Hunh, that’s strange. Works fine on my iPhone. What are you running?

Firefox Fennec on Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Android 10 Desktop Firefox works fine.

Works fine for me on Firefox mobile, on lineageos on a oneplus6

Seems to be broken on Firefox.

yep. opening in FF 75.0 on Linux shows a white blank page. Opening in chromium renders properly.

Looks like it's three.js failing to initialize webgl in firefox. Probably some firefox webgl issue.

Quite the opposite. So enthralling one obsesses over it and incorporates it into their own dreams and fantasy. Nintendo is quite special. The Studio Ghibli of gaming.

I'm pretty objective since I've beaten every Zelda and I can't agree. Their games just aren't at the same level as anything modern. They use a big marketing budget to push their otherwise medicore platform. Although I think n64 was decent.

A lot of "modern" games come with rough edges. I'm not saying that they're not good games, but you can tell it was a bunch of people working to crank out features, exercising every new capability their engine provides.

There's a level of polish that a lot of Nintendo games have. They don't necessarily try to push technical boundaries. They'll take a simple concept or gameplay paradigm and then attempt to be fully immersive within the scope of they've defined.

Modern AAA games feel like summer blockbusters. Marvel superhero films.

Nintendo games feel like Miyazaki. Breath of the Wild legitimately felt like playing through one of his films.

Maybe the icons, but the background and dock are straight out of OSX Tiger.

I think I'd really like Android if all my experiences with it weren't on Samsungs

Ohh, good call: I wasn’t able to readily identify it. Now all I wonder is what the other 3.5mm looking hole is... maybe power?
