Even then Nexus and early Pixels I used had pretty meh battery experiences. The highlights now are the cameras but there’s too much AI crap for my liking and Exynos bones put me off. Let’s see what’s about when my Zenfone 10 starts ageing. It’s been a quirky, mildly buggy (mainly Telegram crashes) but otherwise solid experience, with meh cameras vs the Pixel and Samsung offerings. Stabilisation on videos has been solid though thanks to the gimbal.

I got Google to give me a full refund before my 6P bootlooped so I bought a Pixel XL. No Pixels since for me. Oneplus 7T Pro then Zenfone 10.

Hey, tbf, I never owned a Dreamcast, just played the games my mate had. 3 nights of drinking at uni, sleeping on his easy chair, it wasn’t ideal. So I’d play all night and he’d wake up with a bunch of unlocked characters lol. He never had Power Stone 2 IIRC. Not my bad!

MVC2, Soul Calibur, Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio. Loads of fun times had!

As a non-user I’m now intrigued by it!

Honestly the main thing keeping me from going back to Pixel was the chip but by 2025 I’m sure I’ll have other issues with the landscape of mobiles.

I’ve been toying with the idea of getting back into Linux for a while now. While I’m still on W10 I’m not rushing, and haven’t installed a TPM Module so Windows doesn’t force W11 on me yet, but when I have no choice that may push my hand. There’s some stuff I find easier on Windows but Linux has really caught up in the past 20 years and I reckon I could daily it in the coming years.

Probably. But keeps me off the cigs and stops me feeling as shite. Next stop, quitting vaping too. I only use a small device with very subtle output.

Grim Fandango, Full Throttle and Normality all have vivid memories in my brain.

I haven’t rooted any phones or flashed roms in years. Please let me know why it’s so taboo to mention Magisk?

Now this would be useful.

Reminds me, I have a few Sega and Nintendo peripherals I should get round to selling.

Ahh yes I remember it.

Oh, I’ve been using AdiIRC for ages now, just for chat though. Some quirks, but overall I chose this after using HexChat, can’t remember why now.

Probably Dragon Dictate?

I’ve had 4 system updates so far. Let’s see how long before it slows down.

Also been invited to the Android 14 preview.

I love working from home. But I do go in more because it’s partly mandated but I take great flexibility with it. It genuinely helps me to be in a couple of days a week, but I’d like that to be my decision, not management. It isn’t the same for everyone either. Many roles are better off remote tbh. Our employer assesses category of work done and applies some full wfh where it makes sense, but some I feel get mischaracterised.

Interesting but should be baked in.

Breath of the Wild can be done in under 30 minutes or take hundreds of hours. I’m about 120 hours in and have yet to finish. I could do the final battle now but there’s way more going on in this stunning world for me to enjoy.
