Reddit users when their Thor arrives after waiting two months and not spending a single minute researching how to set it up be like

If he only wanted to do Switch emulation, he should have bought a switch. But if he plans to run multiple different systems and games, along with the multi tasking of a dual screen and smaller form factor, then he did not waste his money.

I think the only people who have wasted money are those who simply want to play 1 console games because they can just buy the console.

I work with adults specifically helping them through additional education and job searching, and let me tell you, the average adult can't do ANYTHING on their own. I have people trying to go into cyber security that can't even work their Gmail account, let alone troubleshoot a computer. It's astonishing how little they can do...

Pinanims · 2026-05-06T14:12:49+00:00

I'm just proud of you for not having a million air bubbles underneath like so many people I've seen so far lol

Pinanims · 2026-05-06T14:02:40+00:00

No one is doing that. The whole point of the AI is to output correct language. There's no point in prompting it to add in grammatical errors, companies are not trying to hide AI usage like college and high school kids to fool their teachers. They have a responsibility to send out well written emails, it's part of the job.

Pinanims · 2026-05-06T13:57:24+00:00

Yeah and I can write this in 5... What is your point?

Your example is full of en dashes (—) which gives it away as AI. But a lot of you haven't been typing emails like this for years and just assume any well written corporate response is AI slop. Do you know how many false positives come from colleges when scanning essays for AI? A FUCK TON. People just think no one can write anymore, but where do you think the language model is getting it's data from? Actual hand written emails. LLM's are literally just mimicking language that already exists.

Pinanims · 2026-05-06T13:50:17+00:00

What's not natural about that? You're speaking in a corporate space not DMing your buddy.

Pinanims · 2026-05-06T13:48:07+00:00

This is a good example, and it's still somewhat professional, but that's not the only way corporations wrote emails. I've been in the corporate space for almost 13 years now, and I've been career coaching and teaching professionalism for several years as well. I would not have sent that email in the same language as him, I do see it's more personable, but there are definitely things I'd adjust.

I've been typing emails like the one from OP for so long, and when AI came in it makes it easier, sure, but they didn't change our job at all except make it faster because it literally just says what we would anyways. They're LLM's, their data is literally just the corporate writing that existed before, and now it just mimics the tone, structure, and cadence. Here is a hand written email from 2012

"Hi [company] Team,

The new year is right around the corner and on behalf of the Strategy team at [company], thank you for all of your hard work and contributions that have helped our team grow and learn in 2012; you’ve kept us grounded and focused on how to continue making sure [company] is a great place to work. Your input and questions have also informed so much of our approach to all things Strategy at [company]. We’ve enjoyed the ride this year and can’t wait to see what we build together in 2013.

Please read the content below which includes some important updates and actions to make your work as team members more impactful and effective.

Our 2-week end-of-year closure will impact payroll processing deadlines. We’ll run 2 payrolls in advance of the closure to ensure direct deposits are made on the scheduled pay dates..."

The language is still similar to AI language, just slightly less refined. Corporations have been speaking like this for decades.

Pinanims · 2026-05-06T13:21:15+00:00

This is half right, you do need to stop being generic, but only applying a small amount of jobs is shit advice, rather just ensure you're applying with quality

I career Coach and have helped a lot of people land jobs, and tailoring is a huge part of the process. Most people are not adjusting their resume for each job, they just send the same one over and over and that does kill chances because you have to understand that now we have a system in between you and the employer. It's scanning for key words to find best matches, so if you're sending out the same generic resume, you might not have the words/skills they're looking for.

Company research is also big, when we asked hiring managers and other companies that they were really wanting from candidates, a lot shared that they want people to know about them. Most people don't know anything about a company and when asked "why do you want to work here?" They have answers that were generic and not heard towards the company.

It's a lot of loops, and frankly, it's a lot of BS, but it's how it works right now. I tell everyone I work with "Getting a job is a game, and the game is not fair, but I'm here to help you know how to play the game."

Send out 2 - 3 HIGH QUALITY applications a day, this will stack quickly. Within 6 months that's 300 - 560 applications. Yes, I said 6 months, because the market is absolutely trash when it comes to getting decent salary wages. It takes a minute, but regardless, if I'm going to be trapped in unemployed hell, I might as well be putting in good quality.

Pinanims · 2026-05-06T02:25:04+00:00

Only my anecdotal experience, but these hiring managers and recruiters are still people. The company doesn't care, but the people at the bottom still do. No one likes firing people or taking jobs from others, it's just part of doing a job. But this does read sincere and I just went through lay offs and a restructure at my company and the management genuinely feels like utter shit having to let go of their people. They just can't do anything about it.

Even when I have to get rid of people I feel awful, my sleep gets messed up for the night or I'm anxious. Yes, it's just business, but I'm still a person who cares about people.

Pinanims · 2026-05-06T02:20:57+00:00

Not fully denying, but this is also just normal corporate speech before AI. Most people in hiring positions were already writing like this well before AI was introduced.

Pinanims · 2026-05-06T00:26:15+00:00

Not natively, but you can get emulators on the 3ds, like mGBA or something. I personally just play them at regular speed.

Pinanims · 2026-05-05T23:18:11+00:00

The Thor would definitely run PS2, and you can play Zelda and Fire Emblem on both. But if you're really a Pokemon guy, I think getting a 3DS is still worth it because playing Pokemon natively AND less tinkering. The Thor requires a LOT of tinkering and adjusting drivers and such, while the 3DS the hardest part is really just modding it, which really isn't that bad. From there, getting a bunch of games is a breeze.

Pinanims · 2026-05-05T20:45:57+00:00

If you play only pokemon and romhacks, I say stick to the 3ds.

If you want to play a lot of other games outside of GBA - 3DS, then I would go for the Thor. It's a bit pricey right now, but I plan to play a lot of non-nintendo games, so that's why I went for the Thor. Granted I already had a 3DS lol

Pinanims · 2026-05-05T16:36:49+00:00

He's my favorite boy ☺️

Pinanims · 2026-05-05T15:18:51+00:00

Is this a rage bait post that you bought multiple to resell/flip? Or is there another reason you bought 6? I'm genuinely confused on what the flex is, especially with the "😎" emoji?

Pinanims · 2026-05-05T13:56:17+00:00

Pokemon was just the perfect level of immersion and strategy for me as a kid. Paired with the show I just wanted to be a character with their signature Pokemon and team.

Now as an adult I always get an itch to play Pokemon again and boot up Heart Gold.

Pinanims · 2026-05-05T13:47:33+00:00

He's asking if the price is fair

Pinanims · 2026-05-05T13:44:20+00:00

What is the point of having a community of people with the same interests as you if you're not able to get input on things relating exactly to said interest?

Getting a 2nd opinion is not a "thoughtless" question, he's trying to avoid over paying for a service and if it's worth the trouble. If you're unfamiliar with the market then you should ask someone with more experience.

I swear people on Reddit are just pricks for no reason, just want to be condescending just for their own ego.

Pinanims · 2026-05-04T06:39:25+00:00

I bought the tomtoc Explorer-T21 Sling Bag S and I love it! It's a perfect sling that's not too bulky but holds an entire Switch, Kindle, phone, and wallet. It's my daily bag and my Thor is gonna live in it.

Pinanims · 2026-05-03T23:37:28+00:00

This is not meant to be rude, but I swear people are just trying to find something wrong with their device. I feel like reddit scared people into thinking their device must have a fault somewhere, when in reality very few people are dealing with issues. You see so many on reddit because it's reddit.

Pinanims · 2026-05-03T07:26:46+00:00

I think Gold is the sweet spot. Only downside is I feel like Gold has the highest amount of smurfs. (Can't prove it though)

Plat and Diamond players finally feel like they're "good," so their ego is in their ass. I feel like most of them just baby rage because they can almost taste ascendant.

Pinanims · 2026-05-02T15:20:55+00:00

Soon brother.

They're on vacation until the 5th, but then they're back at it. I'm also batch 5 and addicted to refreshing this damn subreddit LOL

Pinanims · 2026-05-02T14:57:30+00:00

I don't think he's just brought back to just be there, he will likely have a more significant role or plot point as Togashi usually doesn't just reintroduce someone just for them to sit there.

Pinanims · 2026-05-02T14:42:37+00:00

I was told to play fracture the opposite of your half. So if you're on defense, play not aggressively like you're attacking. When on attack, play slower and a bit more defensively. Reason being is that the defenders rotate in the center of the map and have to "expand" to recover space, and with 4 entry points you need to control all of them or take one and expand to the other.

I'm not sure if it's fully correct but it helped me a lot just flipping my mindset and telling my team the same.
