@FrostCat Am I oblivious to another forum couple?
Fun fact: On another forum, I found out about a couple because I walked in on them having relations in a car trailer at the racetrack.
There's a reason everyone else was outside giving me the "DON'T GO IN THERE YOU FOOL" look.
Quite why you'd pick the wooden floored car trailer instead of the RV or a tent or... I dunno, wandering off into the picturesque woods is beyond me.

If you walk away from the starter set of pokemons 3 times, Pikachu will appear the 4th time and you can start with Pikachu.
YOUR WELCOME POKEMONS PLAYERS!

Our desks at work don't have any form of dividers between them, which makes me sad, but I'm fortunate enough to have an end desk with a metal cabinet beside it. So I got fridge magnets and made myself a noticeboard out if the back of the cabinet.

It's important to maintain a good work:dinosaur balance.

Aw crap, was that what was happening when it "demonstrated" how to catch a pokemon?
I was totally lost during the entire introduction, and now I'm stuck waiting for something to happen...

@Tsaukpaetra If you have post-its that don't curl up and fall off if they're kept longer than a day (at best), tell me where I can get some.

You wouldn't be the only one--first I'd heard of it.

"eeew, chiggers" should be a good enough reason. I got 'em on my ankles one time. Getting them...elsewhere, let's say...would be horror.

Also, would be nice if they'd said "don't go in there."

I sure hope you made that up. And answered that way.

I have some stuck on my monitor that have been there for years. .

@FrostCat Trolling StackOverflow would require me to actually log in.
I just came across that answer and thought to myself, "why the fuck would you play Pokemons if you didn't have Pikachu???"

@cartman82 said in The Official Status Thread:
Cheap smartphone is only gonna piss you off.
Seconded. At least for Android - WinPhone has decent low-end performance from what I've heard, but a cheap, 512MB RAM Android phone is pretty much unusable even for calling and texting.
Though given what we know about @HardwareGeek, maybe one of these is in order?
-
@Tsaukpaetra Well they don't stick to the metal cabinet I have. Also magnets are fun.

Buy actual 3M ones, they stick forever. You're buying knock-offs.

No, I'm acquiring knock-offs whenever they're provided for use in some task.

Well it wasn't an option in the first generation (starter, that is.) (Until Yellow came out, which is more like gen 1.1.)

Yes, I have an original Verizon Droid. It... doesn't work too well.
Then again, it is stuck on Gingerbread...
-
Yelling Pikachu yells at you.
I've never played a Pokemon anything because JRPGs are shitty and stupid, but I have to admit having an actual non-store demo game that uses the camera for AR is slightly compelling. Slightly.
All the AR stuff on my Vita was obviously just there to show off in store displays, they weren't even really "games" per-se. (One just made a fireworks show clipped around your environment.)
-

Yeah, but probably not for Winphone.
Oh, I guess you could try it on your Fi--sorry, couldn't quite finish that with a straight face.

@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
L1 was decommissioned back in 2008-ish. It was a Compaq Presario V2000 laptop.
L2 was decommissioned in 2010, I don't remember what it was.
L3 was decommissioned in 2012, it was a Gateway M5 (I think) tablet.
L4 was decommissioned in 2014, it was a Lenovo Thinkpad X61 tablet.
L5 is in operation, it is a Sony Vaio Flip that I use as my daily driver/dev machine.Hmm. It's 2016. L5 has obviously been decommissioned now.

@FrostCat I don't have a Fi.
Just to spite you though, I'm going to see if it's on my Amazon Fire. Which it's probably not, because this thing was cheap as fuck.
And... it is... there. Except it's by "Niantic" and not "Nintendo" for some reason. God knows how well it runs, but the Google Play Store has given its blessing.
BTW how stupid is it that when you're searching for something, Android changes the Enter key to a giant magnifying glass? Every time I'm like "where's the fucking Enter key? Fuuuck!" and then it's like, "oooh."

Nope, not yet!
I need to replace the hard drive with an SSD (probably), and upgrade the memory, but it seems to be going pretty strong despite age!

It does that for sending texts too, IIRC. I specifically told my keyboard not to allow that.

Forgot who I was dealing with. That was supposed to be me cracking up with laughter halfway through the word "fire". If you've got a better way to indicate that, I'm all ears.

I wish we still had badges because I would totally deserve one for being what it takes to get you to break character after all these years and not pretend you didn't know what I meant!
@blakeyrat said in The Official Status Thread:

Most likely the reason is "Niantic developed it, not Nintendo".

What? Obviously you wanted to search for something. </troll>

I wondered why it said "Niantic the Pokemon Company"...

Goddamnit, that's twice now it posted the wrong picture instead of the one where I pasted fennec fox ears onto that picture. Fuck it. You can all just imagine what I just described was there instead of the actual picture you see. Except for those couple of you who don't have a mind's eye. You're SOL.

I get utterly confused when I get any likes. Because NodeBB helpfully doesn't tell me which post was liked. And I'm not clicking through dozens to hundreds of notifications to find out.
Plus, if you do, that thread will no longer show up in the unread feed even though it may still have unread messages. But, you know, you looked at it.

That's why I don't touch notifications until my Unread list is 100% empty.

@FrostCat it runs but it doesn't work. All I see is my dude standing in a void with a charmander but clicking on my dude or the charmander does nothing. Stuck, nothing else to do except exit.
Busted garbage.

And then, dependencies on those names grow like vines until it becomes impossible to correct their spelling.
The best part is when misspelled column names are visible to the customer (e.g. for filtering/sorting). In a previous life, we would occasionally get support calls about how there are two r's in "occurrence."

I couldn't even register an account. "All of our servers are busy."
Pokémon Go? More like Pokémon Stop. (My son hit me for that one.)
Also, the spellchecker put that accent in up there. And the other one.

@FrostCat This is where I got, now that I'm on a PC where I can upload the image:
From this screen I can change the camera angle by dragging, but tapping doesn't do jack. I tried to tap on the charmander to capture it, nothing at all. I couldn't make my character walk around, there's no menu button as far as I could tell, it was just stuck.
Conclusion: Pokemon is garbage.

@FrostCat That... thing happened before I had a chance to log in. Well, maybe not-- I told it to log in using Google so maybe it automatically did some OpenID bullshit behind my back using the saved Google credentials in the tablet, who knows.
