<p>(Brazil has had 3/4 currency changes since then, depending on how you count it)</p>
<p>This game was released in 1990 but it has a hint that refers to the currency of Brazil as the "cruzado". But in 1989, it had been replaced by the cruzado novo. Clearly someone was using an out of date encyclopedia!</p>

If that’s the case, forget getting any consistent connection (think a Vegas convention center), even if you have fast data on the phone, your hotspot will drop b/c WiFi.</p>

It’s fine for small increments. But if you’re trying to upload video or do a lot of data intensive work that needs an internet connection, it isn’t ideal. An iPad better to tether than a phone b/c battery but built-in or a USB connected modem is way better.</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@stephenrobles" class="u-url mention">@<span>stephenrobles</span></a></span> it’s part of what makes the fact that the iPad sucks as anything more than an iPad so annoying. B/c if I could run real apps on it or it had a real file browser, I have a portable with a keyboard case and cellular data</p>
