I returned to Pokémon Go after 4 years, and it’s just as painful to play as ever

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-28 03:00:15

Megan Ellis / Android Authority I’ve been playing Pokémon Go on and off since the day the mobile game came out in 2016. As a result, I’ve seen its changes over the years — from the introduction of new creatures to catch, the launch of community days and raids, and plenty of other new features.

Bus Bunching

news.ycombinator.com Greg Ross 2025-12-28 16:24:02

But if Bus B is delayed by traffic congestion (2), it incurs a penalty: Because it arrives late to the next stop, it will pick up some passengers who’d planned to take Bus C (3). Accommodating these passengers delays Bus B even longer, putting it even further behind schedule. Meanwhile, Bus C begins to make unusual

In addition to giving replacement Switch 2s to those people, GameStop has decided to turn the whole viral event into a publicity stunt for charity. Today, it posted on X th
