Another GenX. Aka the best generation.

Great post. I played the Speccy version a lot back in the day. Although I was never anything other than very bad at it.

SNAKE. SNAKE? SNAAAAAAKE!

The ever reducing diameter of wraps is the thing that gets me the most. Do they think we won't notice?! It's maddening. I want a big wrap.

I've never been into a Primark, but this looks very much like TK Maxx (which is what TJ Maxx is called here in the UK).

My son is 11, and this is a daily... or even hourly occurrence.

RDR is not (officially) available on PC / Steam / Steamdeck. So you'll need to either emulate switch or 360 via Xenia. IIRC MVG had a video about RDR running under Xenia on the deck about a year ago, and it was mostly 30fps ish.

Realistically though, if you want portable play Switch. If you want to play on a TV PS4. The best way to play this right now, in the absence of PC port, is an Xbox Series X via back compat, which doesn't really help you!

If you're not paying you are the product. If you ARE paying you are STILL the product. This is how big tech works.

Absolutely. When I used to use YouTube I had a browser extension that directed the home page to my subscriptions.

Being cheap and lazy, I just unscrewed the double spout from mine and made it a single spout. Gives me more clearance than with the spouts.

I had that Thompson Twins flexi disc from C&VG and could never get it to load.

I use a Kingrinder K4 which, when I bought it 4-6 months ago was the cheapest espresso capable hand grinder I could find. It only takes about a minute to grind 18g for a shot and I normally make 2-4 shots a day. They have cheaper grinders, such as the K0 but I'm not sure if they'd be consistent enough or have a sufficient granularity of adjustment to dial in an espresso.

I have a Fire TV Stick Lite and it's awful. The UI is sluggish and using it for anything is a chore. Perhaps if I had got a higher spec one it would be different, but honestly I cannot recommend this particular device at all.

There are a few others, mostly command line scripts.

I was skeptical when people were saying "just wait until sync launches". I've been using Lemmy since the blackout and feel like there has been a noticeable jump in the quality and quantity of comments in the last few days. I'm not actually a fan of the app (Voyager and Summit are my favourites, Summit has the edge just now), but whatever the reason I'm pretty happy.

I hate it. Some communities just fill up my feed with links to news articles with zero (or zero quality) comments. I either unsubscribe from these communities, or block the poster. In some cases they are so frequent, and with images that are effectively advertising. That and the zero comments, they just remind me of Reddit ads. I don't think you can hope to build a community by drowning out any discussion with a flood of posts from news sites. If you're the mod of a community with so little interaction, then you should be curating content and adding comments yourself.

Noel does some great videos. I missed his repair stuff. Since he moved he doesn't seem to have the same time to make the videos.

Despite me having two electronics degrees I've learnt a lot about diagnosing problems with old computers and consoles from his and Jan Beta's videos.

I've recently changed to a Fitbit Versa 2 after having a Huawei Android Wear for years until it literally fell apart. The Huawei never lasted more than a day, but I can get 2-3 with the Versa, which means I can use it for sleep tracking. Charging up only takes 30 minutes or so, so every few days I just pop it in for a bit. I ended up never using most of the features of the Android, so the Fitbit does me fine. The only thing I miss is the "now playing", but I can live with that.

Pike and Spock are uncanny... Nurse Chapel, La'an and Numero Uno are uncanny valley.
