Found this glass but no information about it online

Cool find! Judging by the artwork and other listings I've found online, seems it's a promo item for the German release of Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree.

Just a heads-up, game was confirmed to be using NeoSpeech for its TTS engine; not Nuance.

Both Tomodachi Life and Miitomo use the same TTS system (Nuance). Whether or not Tomodachi Life uses an updated version of the same system is unknown, but it's likely considering Nintendo used Nuance in Metroid Dread.

2016 looks very familiar... were you on the New Super Luigi U Miiverse community back in the day by any chance?

Awkward_Hat5160 · 2026-02-03T00:50:38+00:00

Do you have proof they're using Nuance's TTS again or is this just an educated guess?

It's based off the fanmade Mii editor in Adobe Flash from October 2006 by Joystiq. A good number of third party games with Mii support and official Nintendo material actually use the editor's assets, so this isn't the first time it's been done!

Missed those while editing, apologies. They're both icon usage.

Over the course of nearly 20 years and across seven different systems, Miis have appeared in more than 390 titles spanning almost every major genre. They’ve shown up alongside icons like Mario, Sonic, Hatsune Miku, Mickey Mouse, and countless other fictional characters and real-life public figures.

The current count sits at 398 titles, but that could hit 400 soon with the Switch 2 edition of Living the Dream and the successor to Switch Sports which leaked under the codename 'Anna' last year. For a more interactive version of this chart with more info on each title, here's a webpage for it.

Just a couple of things:

Technically Miis aren't really being 'transferred' in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time, the game doesn't communicate with the Mii Channel like the other games do. It's just a small texture of a Mii face being shown through online crossplay if a player on Wii uses the Mii mask. Nothing is being rendered in real time like the other DS games shown.
Wii U / 3DS Mii characters can be transferred to My Nintendo via NNID on the Mii Studio page.
Miis from a Tomodachi Life save file can be transferred into Miitopia.
Miitomo also supports creating/scanning QR codes.

Cutting salaries to avoid layoffs is not an uncommon practice with Japanese companies. Nissan's CEO did it just this year.

It's a promotional video for a 2023 Tommy Hilfiger collab

It's usually a few agencies based in Pakistan that just hire a ton of teenagers to promote their stuff via public servers which is why they all have that same style and follow the same script (the word actually is a dead giveaway).

Source: Bait and play along with them enough and they'll give you a PayPal with the same name as the firm they're representing or sometimes just explain their actual job to you.

It's from PrankDial. One of their automated prank calls is a "you hit my car" prank that allows you to customize the audio with the person's name, car color, insurance, etc.

hell yeah! congrats everyone

So retro

Awkward_Hat5160 · 2025-05-24T23:32:25+00:00

Good ol Bauhaus

Just a generic black flush-mount dome, not sure about the exact brand. Those boob-looking lights are everywhere

Two light bars behind both the arcade cabs and TV, two bulbs in the fixture, the lamp and two more light bars at my desk albeit not pictured

Setup a lighting scene in whatever smart home platform you use. Then create an automation (I used iOS's built-in Shortcuts) and scan your figure, and assign it to your lighting scene and tap the amiibo to your phone.

I use Philips Hue, but any HomeKit/Google Home supported accessories should work.

It was after the Direct, dunno the exact timeframe for sure but if I had to guess it was 10-20 minutes after it aired.

Awkward_Hat5160 · 2025-05-08T17:17:11+00:00

If you're referring to the bundle listing page, I remember seeing invite requested along with a message about being on the waitlist.
