My friend down the street had an LX back in '83. It was an amazing device but sadly way too ahead of its time.

Do I need a foldable phone? No. Do I like the idea of owning a phone that is actually small enough to be used with one hand and can fit anywhere? Yes. Besides, closing it to end a call is very cool.

Why not? It's not like Huawei can just use Android so I doubt they'll pull the plug on this system anytime soon.

Yeah, I doubt most people will go this route. VPNs cost money, Twitter alternatives are free.

That's the arcade one. The other one is probably season 4, episode 8, "The Vat of Acid Episode". Morty gets a real-life saving device that allows him to go back to any previous moment in time where he has defined a save. He then falls in love with a girl and lives a long time happily with her, and forgets about the saving device. Eventually, he accidentally goes back to the save point he had made and realized he has lost the relationship with the girl and is again a complete stranger to her. That one hits hard.

ConcernedApe comes to mind. I think he has actually said that a big reason why he made his game is so people would listen to his music.

Top Gear 3000, for SNES. Honorable mentions to Mario Kart Wii (because steering the controller to steer the car will never not be fun) and Horizon Chase Turbo (which is pretty much a modern Top Gear game).

It's a shame that's not the default because while do find EVs interesting there's no way I'm buying a car that may stop working after a failed software update. Did early EV manufacturers feel the need to put as many bleeding edge features as possible in their vehicles to make them more alluring? Cause I can't imagine another reason to turn a car into a driveable smartphone.
