Love Precious Roy.

Chester chasing bubbles was also a favourite of mine.

Grant us eyes.

And you're just a cunt, Elon.

Awwww shit son! We talkin' bout Bugsnax motherfuckers!

Imagine getting down there only to hear a Winter Lantern singing in the dark 💀

That's a first page that goes fucking hard 😅

The glyphs are a fun gimmick. I wouldn't say you're likely to use them all that much.

Maybe Google around a bit and see what you can find. There will definitely be other mid-range phones that lean more heavily into the camera, but at this price you're always going to be making concessions somewhere.

If you're buying the phone outright then that could work. Provided it's supported for that long, and you can look after it well enough then I don't see why not - you just have to be prepared to pay £800 all at once.

Part of my reasoning is the £400 cost keeps my monthly bill down, as I don't buy the phone outright.

If nothing else, keeping one phone for 6 years would be better for the environment.

In my opinion it's fine. I'm not super into photography or anything so take that with a big grain of salt. I don't take too many pictures, but when I do they seem perfectly serviceable.

They're never going to compare to a newer flagship, mind you.

All of this is more than I'm prepared to pay for a phone these days. It's absurd.

I switched to a Nothing Phone 1 last year (about £400?) and it's been more than capable of handling my daily usage.

I'll keep the thing for three years, then upgrade to another mid-range. I don't need to pay more than twice the price for hugely diminishing returns.

Dunno, but I miss rage comics.

Oh really? I figured a wallet had to be one of the ones that folds?

I'm one of the younger millennials (I think?).

I never carry cash unless I have to (for some reason dependent on where I'm going). I primarily use my phone to make payments, and I don't have a traditional wallet, but I do have a slim card-holder that carries my debit card, driving licence and one or two other important cards.

Take that for what you will, I guess!

Glamming up cheap ramen is a joy.

I like to add butter, a slug of soy sauce and chilli sauce, spring onion and sliced chillies.

It's not gonna win me any awards, but it's bloody tasty.

I own a pair of Porta Pros as daily drivers. I also have a pair of Ananda's that I run through a BTR7 (not super flashy but more than your average person's setup).

I would say the average person doesn't need more than a pair of Porta Pros. They're absolutely fine 😅

I'm sure I used to use Audacity back in the day as a free, quick and dirty editor to splice up audio tracks. I'm talking at least 10 years ago.

Had no idea it was still even a thing.

Either Ferrari have shown him something special, or Mercedes are really underwhelming him with whatevers in the pipeline. Possibly both.

I can't believe it's purely a money thing. Lewis is surely still chasing another title above all else?

He's a business man.

And business is goooood.

New cars are ludicrously expensive, especially EVs.

The most I can afford to spend on a car is maybe £14K, and that's under the proviso that about £4K of that is my own money and the rest is a loan to be paid off over about 6 or 7 years.

So yeah, I'm going secondhand ICE with about 50K miles on the clock and praying it doesn't die before the loan is paid off (and preferably longer still so I can save a bit more towards the next one).

I'm all for EVs, but they've got to bring the price down, and they've got to get the batteries to last long enough for the secondhand market to be viable.

Guess it kinda depends on what it's made of?

Even if as a material it's mundane, it could be worth something to the right buyer, as a natural curiosity?
