Looks alright for a Sontaran from Dr Who.

They don't half nip your plums though

Yeah, but I have to stick my face right up close and slowly move it away to do so.

Phone/tablet screens work best for it.

Something something Jews controlling the weather with chemtrails all praise Trump.

Next task: put in into an actual cartridge so you can play them on a real Gameboy Color.

If all our leaders, kings, politicians all vanished at once, I wonder how long it would be before us normal people even noticed.

I've had a few games come with a handful of items for some reason, and very quickly learned to never use them.

Pre order now and ruin the game!

His old one was very similar, but a darker colour so we called him The Fall Guy.

Or rather the few of us in the office old enough to remember that show did.

So do a lot of other governments, to be fair. It's one of those industries that employs a lot of people, and it's always bad press to close it when a bit of money could have kept it. Certainly cheaper than putting thousands of people on benefits.

Plus there's subsidies for domestic sales as well. The UK at least had a grant for plug in cars that they ended a few years ago, presumably just to get the infrastructure up and running.

But then the new vehicle price is neither here nor there in the long term, since most people drive used vehicles anyway. What matters is how many vehicles trickle down to the masses, and whether wear on the battery is a concern. Some of the early smaller models didn't have great batteries to start with, but as a daily driver to the shops and work it'd probably be fine. For some reason the conversation always drifts over to "but what about that one time you drove across the state" or "remember that time you transported a fridge", as if that's something people can't work around for the once a year they do it.

Oh no! The type of capitalism where we have to compete!

Make it go away, Daddy Trump!

My boss in the UK got one. In bright red. It looks like he's driving a fucking fire engine.
