I think that’s from mastodon users, and how mastodon works when replying. I haven’t personally used mastodon though, so someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

I don’t know a lot about biology or things like that, and this is probably a bit of a mess of a thought, but a lab grown brain in a jar could have some really interesting implications if given, say, a computer, as it’s sensory inputs and ways of interacting with the world.

Would it know what it was? How might it socialize? What would it do on the internet? Would it understand the difference between real human controlled characters and AI characters in a video game? How effective might it be at learning our languages, and communicating with us in them? What might be the most effective way/medium for it to learn a language?

I think it would be really interesting to study, and I don’t imagine there would be many ethical issues?

The non-pokemon ones I played the most were:

DMG: Kirby’s Dreamland 2

GBC: Shante

GBA: Drilldozer

Platformers to me always felt like the best suited games to handheld games, and I love the bright colorful art styles. Drilldozer is definitely my all time favorite. If you can find a copy, I’d highly recommend it! The rumble pack cartridge is so cool.

It’s not that I disagree with you entirely. It’s just personally, knowing how to solder, and having had to replace batteries for both external and internal battery laptops recently, I’d rather not have this extend to laptops. As it is now with modern laptops, you just open up the housing, desolder the old battery, get just about any lithium battery from anything (those cheap USB power packs are great), and solder some wires from that to the control board. Going back to detachable batteries means having to deal with every single manufacturer’s proprietary awful housing and pinout slots. You either buy an OEM part from the manufacturer (if they still sell them) or risk a fire with third party batteries in awful housing. Detachable batteries is also how you end up with things like Lenovo using firmware to disallow third party batteries from charging on their laptops.

I feel it’s more important that housings should be user openable with normal tools (guitar pick, razor blade, screwdriver) without damaging the housing. HP is genuinely awful for this on laptops.
