That looks quite sophisticated for the purpose, I love it. If a phone repair man pulls out one of these, the alarm in my head to make the good coffee will most certainly go off.
Pardon my language, though I heard this in an interview with Jimmy Carr, and it rather highlights this for me quite well: \
I'm paraphrasing, though it was something like "if you've seen five cunts before noon, you're the cunt".
You're right in that you'd have to install an APK, from outside of the Play Store, however if you're aware of the right sources of the right apps your security should be fine (you can disable the ability to install apps from unknown sources after you've got the YouTube alternative app, without affecting it, if you're worried about that).
If you follow that link it should have further links for an installation tutorial (they also link a YouTube tutorial to make things easier).
If you do go down that route, it's a much more pleasant experience imho. No ads, Sponsorblock for in-video ad segments, complete control over quality of video, audio, options to manually force specific codecs, etc.
Yeah, it's very low quality. When I lived there, I'd get recommended LJS because I'm British, and they wanted to get my opinion on their fish and chips. \
They stopped talking about it after all the complaints. I don't think I've ever finished a meal when I've given them chances, always ended up tossing most of it in the bin.
I did an upgrade, instead of a clean install, to the same version. I just had to reinstall my graphics driver and everything works as before, I just went through another step to remove some programs and it's been smooth sailing since.
Massgrave.dev provided what I needed. Was a breeze.
You may be onto something. If we take away HL: Lost Coast, and both HL: Deathmatch versions, there are 9 titles. \
With the rumoured title code named HL:X it makes me wonder how they're going to announce it (granted these rumours are true).
The game itself helped me understand people, who are no longer with us, in a better way. The manner in which psychosis is presented is powerfully accurate, at least from an outsider perspective. It made me cry as it portrayed struggles in a manner truthful to the symptoms beyond the effects - the story and execution of it really gripped me.
Eggy in a basket. Many may know of it from V For Vendetta, and as much as I'd like to show off: I saw it on there first as well (all those years ago), but my gosh is it satisfying!
Butter one side of thick-sliced bread, use a small glass to cut a hole in the middle, plop some butter into a pan, put the un-buttered side down and crack an egg into the middle, and once it's cooked enough flip it for a bit and then serve. \
It takes practise to get the timing, of when to flip, right but once you do it's just buttery and eggy and definitely comforts me well.
Seeing kids smile, hearing them laugh. Like, if I'm on the bus and I hear a baby laughing, with those early crackly chuckles they get, it just taps into something within me and brightens my mood. Very difficult to frown with such pure happiness around.
If you're using a Playstation, it may be worth digging around in your system settings. Sometimes the option is referred to as 'equalise', 'dynamic range', etc.
I spoke in public once.
\ I mean, granted it was to apologise for that thing with the onions, but people listened!
