What it looks like animating myself in a racing office chair

Yes, the software is called LG OnScreen Control Plus. it runs silently in the background. it tracks which applications you use, when you use them, and how long. it phones home to LG servers. it cannot be uninstalled through normal means without leaving registry traces. gamers noticed because some anti-cheat systems flagged it as suspicious software. the monitor was getting people banned from games. now the TV side: LG also updated its webOS terms of service. if you use the AI voice features on your LG TV, the company says you may need to inform guests in your home that conversations could be recorded. not LG informing your guests. you. the homeowner. legally responsible for notifying anyone who walks into your living room that the television is listening. LG built a surveillance device. sold it to you. and made the disclosure your legal problem. so to recap what LG shipped this year: a monitor that installs tracking software on your PC without asking. a TV that records conversations in your home and requires you to warn your guests. both devices look exactly like a monitor and a TV. neither one tells you what it actually is at the point of sale. you found out when your game banned you. or when you read the terms.

@InPursuitofToys When is street date? I saw half a dozen of them on display at Target yesterday when hunting Battle Cats…

Can’t remember the last time Target delivered a preorder ahead of a street date, but here we are! #marvellegends #xmen #actionfigures #inpursuitoftoys

When you're an introvert, but you can draw.

Absolute Green Arrow and @urbanbarbarian , two dudes that cannot miss…

@dveese Saw it in Target last night and almost bought it, it’s a fantastic design.

This TMNT x GIJOE line is amazing. What a fabulous looking product. Bonus for the “all in” fun artwork on the instructions sheet. This is exactly the kind of creative flex the toy industry desperately needs. I’d be shocked if this new line doesn’t grab kids.

@PopCultFrenzy I know the first release took a lot of flak, and mine def had some paint issues, but I still love that figure. She’s actually still on my desk, and the figs on my desk rotate pretty frequently, lol.

@robrebooted I hope she comes out this good.

Boss Fight Studio 1:12 Scale Epic H.A.C.K.S. Immortal Red Sonja is up for pre-order at #EntEarth, expected July 2027: $49.99 ee.toys/FM443A #ad Free shipping $79+

@thecapyak Same, but my goodness she’s a must have.

Ugh. I hate Walmart!

@HMRC4EVR @ToddManyNumbers @PopCultureJunk2 The Target I went to tonight had all the same clearance items except literally Battle Cat and the Roton, lol. Was so weird.

@ToddManyNumbers @robrebooted @PopCultureJunk2 My Target has a third of that, most not on clearance

Should I be grabbing this? @robrebooted @PopCultureJunk2

@HMRC4EVR @ToddManyNumbers @PopCultureJunk2 No worries, but thanks for offering!

@robrebooted @ToddManyNumbers @PopCultureJunk2 Do y'all mean the talking Krusty doll? If so, my Target had several last week when I found the Batman TAS Rene Montoya wave. I can check, but it'll be next week.

@ToddManyNumbers @HMRC4EVR @PopCultureJunk2 It may be here too, I couldn’t remember if it was Tues or Wed. I know they definitely post sales Friday night tho.

@robrebooted @HMRC4EVR @PopCultureJunk2 Interesting, it seems to be Wednesdays here when the discount increases

@ToddManyNumbers @HMRC4EVR @PopCultureJunk2 No Krusty either. He doesn’t bother me as much as Battle Cat, would be cool to have but I’m not disappointed if I don’t find him.

@robrebooted @HMRC4EVR @PopCultureJunk2 Krusty?

@HMRC4EVR @ToddManyNumbers @PopCultureJunk2 Yeah, I’m going to keep an eye out. I know sales get posted Friday nights and I think Tuesdays? Will just have to keep swinging by and hope I luck out.

@robrebooted @ToddManyNumbers @PopCultureJunk2 Bummer. My Target marked them down today to $14. I'd grab you one, but shipping would kill the savings.

@HMRC4EVR @ToddManyNumbers @PopCultureJunk2 Whelp. I found 9 of them. Still at full price…

@HMRC4EVR @ToddManyNumbers @PopCultureJunk2

@dreadnoxreviews Teela looks way better than her renders. Have to get one, she looks great!

"Nyeh-heh-heh! Teela! I wasn't staring at you, you fool! I was merely admiring...Snake Mountain!" Can’t get enough of the new Mattel Masters of the Universe Chronicles line. Trap-Jaw is still my favorite but Teela is another great addition to the shelf.

@preterniadotcom Love the two new heads.
