What unique features would you add if creating your dream retro-inspired electric motorcycle?
Y’all are making this community as bad as Reddit game subreddits with your incessant bitching about Nintendo. We get it.
If you thought communities built on FOSS would be friendly to Nintendo then you were really uninformed.
It’s not about being friendly. It’s about not saying the exact same comments in every single Nintendo thread. It’s repetitive and boring.
There’s a lot to bitch about!
