I really enjoyed the special features (3d model viewers etc) you added to this article. It's a great presentation and an interesting read.

> The city recently surpassed Amsterdam in a widely respected ranking of bike-friendly cities and is now second only to Copenhagen, which is more than twice its size.

I visited Copenhagen last year, and while it's a lovely city I have absolutely no idea how it is ranked number one cycling city in the world. Mark Wagenbuur, cited in this article, is also sceptical: https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2018/11/27/is-copenhagen-...

This shouldn't be taken too far out of context. It's clear Nintendo doesn't mean this as a cutting critique of crowdfuding, just more riffing on Wario's characterisation as an idiotic selfish asshole.

Though I believe the idea is that Tent be more like an email server: email hosts are able to offer their own features and interfaces, yet remain interoperable with one another.

Most people don't host their own email service, but most people do benefit from using email – and the best part of it is that there's no monolithic Email Inc. that could someday go bankrupt and bring everyone's emailing days to a close.
