Thanks for sharing, just tried it out. It seems really well made, especially since its the first version. It even has a built in PDF viewer. Not bad. I might actually replace Material Files with it, which is what I was using until now.

This is a really cool project. Looks pretty convincing at first sight

Having the reader on the back was easily the best spot. The only thing I miss from my old phone.

Maybe give the universal android debloater a try. Its a pretty useful tool.

Oh, I know what you’re talking about. I got a “new” phone a few months ago. Was thinking about either the pixel 4a or Samsung S10e, and went with the latter.

The cool thing is that both of these phones have LineageOS support. I didn’t try it yet, but LOS sounds pretty awesome, I hope that I won’t be disappointed.

This is really interesting, thanks for your insight. I don’t really know a lot about cars, but maybe I’ll give it another try one day. I will definitely keep this in mind :)

Thank you for your tips. I do remember reading the forums, but never getting the point of it. Maybe I should set my game to English instead of German, the translation for the latter is very weird.

I also had the problem of finding rivals during the night that I just couldn’t beat, because they were way faster than I was. And that was the case even after upgrading every part of my car. Maybe I just made the wrong choice for the first car? Which one did you start with?

Man, I would have never expected so see someone talking about Kaido Racer here. I tried that game about 2 years ago, but never got far. I only ever had the first track to play, since I never beat the right enemies to unlock the other ones. I probably should give it another go, it seems pretty well made even if the translation is a bit funky haha.

What about you? How far are you currently?

Really interesting to read through! Thanks for sharing :)

Now this was interesting to read through. I guess that’s what money does with us.

Maybe the Yo-Kai Watch games? They are RPGs probably inspired by Pokemon, but better in basically every way.

You play as a kid befriending Yo-Kai (creatures taken from japanese folklore), while exploring a pretty cool city. Has a nice soundtrack as well. The story of the first game is kinda meh, but I think it still has that summer vibe.

The second game is a lot better, with an actual story, more stuff to do and more to explore. Definitely the better game, but playing it first might make the first one less enjoyable afterwards.

Both of these games have that childhood summer adventure vibe, even though I myself didn’t spent my childhood befriending Yo-Kai.

Maybe. It’s definitely good at what it does, playing music.

I really like this app. Though it does seem to have google tracking according to duckduckgo. Maybe inevitable because it’s getting the music data from YouTube? But that would mean that it wouldn’t work while blocking the trackers, but it does work. I don’t know, just felt it was worth pointing out.

Besides that, pretty nice app. Works well, has a nice UI.

But the gamepad battery is easily replaced? Easier than on a Nintendo Switch or Switch Pro Controller for sure.

Interesting that you dropped Octopath Traveler. Maybe it’s the better choice.

I for myself have still been playing Super Mario 3D World. Got to the last world, finally. And yeah, the last level, Champion’s Road, is indeed very hard. I’ve already heard of it multiple times and yep, a real challenge. Not sure if I even want to continue. I guess it would be a great achievement to have beaten that level, but it’s not really that much fun to play a hard level over and over again. So maybe I’m just gonna stop here, with everything else at 100% exept that level.

I have also been playing Okami. The start wasn’t really that great, but I feel like it’s getting better the more I play. I’m still not really that far though, so I’ll have to see what else that game has to offer. I do like the paintbrush mechanic, it’s an interesting way to give the player more abilities the further you progress, and I’m looking forward to see what other ideas the devs have.

The artstyle is obviously pretty great, Okami’s visuals have hold up very well. It literally looks like you’re playing a painting.

Overall, I’m looking forward to playing it some more.

Depends. If you have a quality CRT monitor, the only problem is blooming. Misconvergence and geometry in general is really only a problem with low end models or large tubes. At higher refresh rates, there’s absolutely no flicker either.

Where did you get that with the contrast from? They look way better than any LCD, though OLED can come close or even surpass them.

Except when talking about motion clarity of course, which is something that somehow still can’t be beaten by modern technologies. Every display that isn’t a CRT just looks so blurry during motion. It makes a world of difference for games.

Since I got a nice CRT monitor, I hate playing on LCDs. Kinda regret getting that thing now.

Hell yeah man, 4:3 CRT monitors are superior in almost every way. I have a monitor that does up to 1920x1440p@75hz, but the best ones do up to 2048x1536@80hz. Crazy.
