They’re both apartheid shills. Blacklist them.

As a fox/hyena therian, it’s foxes and hyenas. Shocker, I know. I identify with their behaviour, which is a whole thing that’s too hard to put into words–they’re just so me.

They forgot to put a balanced output jack in place of it.

Wait, Sony’s phones have unlockable bootloaders? If I’d known that, I would have bought one.

I love Celeste’s simple, effective storytelling. Every aspect of the game ties into its own meaning–the environments, the music, the challenge. Extraordinarily well done.

Surprisingly detailed is the Horizon series. Replaying Zero Dawn and seeing just how much of the story is set up before and during the tutorial is genuinely crazy. Every event feels like an actual part of the narrative, rather than random filler.

Chrono Trigger. Timeless masterpiece. Arguably the greatest JRPG ever made, and yet another one that gets more fun the more you analyse it.

All of these were pretty good on Deck, and should work well on anything. Went for a mix of genres.

HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED MMORPG FINAL FANTASY XIV WITH AN EXPANDED FREE TRIAL WHICH YOU CAN PLAY THROUGH THE ENTIRETY OF A REALM REBORN AND THE AWARD-WINNING HEAVENSWARD EXPANSION UP TO LEVEL 60 FOR FREE WITH NO RESTRICTIONS ON PLAYTIME

Remember! Plastic is in your brain.

“Garnet’s gonna be here, isn’t she?”

Garnet.

“It’s a Willem Dafoe deepfake, isn’t it?”

Yes. Call me clairvoyant.

Everyone is saying Signal, but my family uses a Matrix space (mix of phones and PCs in this case) and it works great. It’s FOSS, federated. Truly future-proof.

I don’t know if this counts as an addiction, but I used to have a particular liking for anything fire related.

Yeah. I don’t have an iPhone anymore due to this downward trend. I still think macOS holds up well now, though, despite their insistence on killing off old app support for no reason.

Also, I’m a musician. Linux has nothing up to par with Logic, and going Windows is utterly stupid. Best option right now, or I’m out my literal largest hobby… unless I start making stuff oldschool style.

Not gonna lie. If I had the equipment and knowledge, I would.

…The speck of dust comment was, I kid you not, a direct reference to Louis Rossmann. I avoid GrapheneOS due to one of his videos. I use GrayJay. I suggest his repair store to others. The point is the outward build quality–the body–and not smaller internal components. Others are undeniably better… but my hands aren’t touching those components. They’re touching the shell. Keyboard. Trackpad. Glass. That was the point being made.

In other words… ratio.

EDIT: I’m searching Kagi for anything related to the trackpad comment… and this just seems unsubstantiated. Apple doesn’t own gestures. Nothing burger here. Quite a shame. I was ready for a heated debate, but dinner’s already been served.

1. Best trackpads. By far. Gaming? Use a controller. I will die on this hill.
2. All of their OSes are a great user experience. They’re stable, they’re intuitive, and–most importantly–they’re aesthetically pleasing.
3. Logic Pro.
4. Actually, basically every app that Apple makes is pretty good. I would swap out the majority of the software on my Pixel for Apple apps if it wasn’t proprietary and exclusive.
5. iPhone videos are outstanding. My Pixel can’t match my old 13 Pro’s video, and it’s a newer phone. Photos are also slightly worse here, but not after some editing.
6. Objectively better build quality if you ignore planned obscelecense. My MacBook just feels well built. It feels sturdy and durable even if a speck of dust can kill the display, and every factor of the build is just better than anything else available. Phones are mostly up to spec, but my Pixel just doesn’t feel as nice as my old iPhone, especially the objectively worse button and camera layout.

Mostly everything else? No. I can’t install cool FOSS projects on my phone, or know what’s running on it. I prefer Linux as an OS, but not any DE compared to macOS. I’ve also had some periods where stuff doesn’t just work, such as iCloud fucking my free space and wiping almost my entire system when I try to fix the issue as per instructions I was given by an employee. Then, there’s just that Apple is gross. I don’t need to explain that, or anything about repair. Else… the closed source software is excellent closed source software. The unrepairable, proprietary hardware is excellent hardware.

They’re just a few steps from being better than any other company or project… a couple of several thousand mile long steps.

Does a small handful of things extremely well, is otherwise stupidly limited by choice and costs way too much.

Think different, even if it means thinking worse.

I just recently watched Saltburn. Truly and genuinely disturbing. It’s a psychological thriller. If you’re not into that, well…

…It has to be Drakengard. What a thing. I literally couldn’t finish it, and I’m close to finishing Final Fantasy XIII. I have a high tolerance, but good LORD is it a slog.

But it looks cluttered, as previously mentioned. No way to make a circle fit more radians in the same space, unless… God, my head hurts already.

HOW CAN I BE SO BRAZEN THE WALTER BREAKING BAD WHITE GIF DOESN’T EVEN EMBED PROPERLY 😭😭😭😭😭
