    Game controllers use bluetooth, TV remotes use infrared. Bluetooth is radio waves, it can go a limited distance, but can go through some obstacles. IR needs line of sight. Howver, IR uses way less power than bluetooth, can go a longer distance and the line-of-sight requirement can be a good thing. For example, if you have multiple TVs in different rooms (or even the same room) made by the same manufacturer. Yes, you could pair the remote with the TV, but that would create a new problem - you wouldn't be able to use the same remote on different TVs. I have two AC units, both are made by the same manufacturer, so both respond to the same remote. However, while the remote is IR, the sensitivity is ridiculous - I can be pointing the remote away from the AC and it would still respond. Most of the time I only use one of the units, keeping the other off by turning off the circuit braker. Sometimes I need both of them on. When both are on it is really had to adjust only one of them without having the other one react. I need to put my hand on a specific spot on the unit I do not want to react (yeah, I need to cover the IR sensor, but it is not visible from outside, so usually it's just trial and error). My LG plasma TV has a remote that works using radio waves (I think) and while I can use it while it's still in my pocket, it drains the batteries much faster than the IR remotes.

    Maybe a year ago, someone said I should try the bing bot in Skype, so I did ask it a few questions, that was it. When I search something on Google, it also gives me "AI result" that's usually nonsense, so I don't really pay attention to it.

    A knockoff NES. It looked similar to this: But it was not this, I do not remember what the model was, but I remember that it had some numbers. Also, the controllers did not have the red buttons, though IIRC the controllers themselves were red. I only had a few cartridges, of the type "9999 in 1" where it pretends to have thousands of games, but they are modifications of a few real games. I played with it, but IIRC I preferred the PC when my parents finally bought one. It was fun using the two antennas that came with it to have a wireless connection to the TV and to turn on a TV in a different room and see the game.

    Alicorn, if that's not possible then unicorn. Magic seems cool and can compensate for lack of hands.

    I haven't seen it, then again, I don't really watch either of those cartoons. I saw them on TV a long time ago, but they were not as interesting to me. I just suggested it becasue you said you wanted to write something. As I said, I suck at writing, but it seems to me like writing a fanfic is the easier way to start as there is an established setting and the fans of the original story may be interested in giving a fanfic a try instead of reading a completely original story. I may be completely wrong here though.

    I agree, but sometimes people become elitist and forget that they were beginners as well. I suck at roleplaying, I tried a few DnD sessions with my friends and found out it was not for me. My friends tried to encourage me to continue, but it was not for me. As for writing, again, I would completely suk at it, writing assignments in school were among the most difficult for me. Have you tried writing any fanfics? There are quite a few talented people writing them. I do not know if the fanfics I like would be considered good by some literature critic, but I like them and they are quite popular. One I found recently is A Quiet Rune Scribe if you have not read it. https://www.fimfiction.net/story/550684/a-quiet-rune-scribe It is extremely long, but you can see the author improve over time. The first chapters are hard to read, but over time it gets better and better.

    Yeah, especially when you go on a national TV show in another country no less. I do not know about your role playing or role playing in general, so this is not about you. However, sometimes someone sucks so much, there is nowhere to start explaining. I mean, take the video I posted about the two singers. I am sure a vocal teacher wuld be able to explain to them in detail how they suck and how to improve, but a regular person would just say "you suck" and move on. I have read some threads (not here) where someone was asking for help with a problem with electronics, but what he writes is such nonsense, I dont even know where to start answering and I do not want to type a full electronics course in a forum thread. Don't give up, but maybe find a teacher. A teacher would be more able to help you improve than random people on the internet.
