The alternative frontends need to be added to a Lemmy server by the admins so not everywhere has them. Lemmy.world has quite a few though which are listed in the sidebar.

I don’t even bother with most apps anymore unless I have to. I use the Photon UI, so https://p.lazysoci.al/ or https://photon.lemmy.world/

Final Fantasy VII

I was testing out something on my Miyo Flip handheld and started playing FFVII for the first time. Never played it before and so far there have been a few questionable moments but overall I’m enjoying it. Hardware wise it works great but I did have to ask my wife for some help with the story already and unsuprisingly she knew exactly what to do but wants me to play FFIX instead.

The UK government is like: “submit ID first before you use iPhone”, like WTF? As apparently, they are considering on making that the default way to unlock a cellphone whilst spying on you (like they already are) keeping tabs on what apps you’re currently using, have downloaded or purchases made online.

Source?

Honestly I’m torn on the whole issue but also at the same time I haven’t once submitted verification ID so nothing has changed for me. Hopefully it stays that way…

and people using Sam from Death Stranding for face ID is just hilarious :D

Still playing losing skirmish matches to the veteran ai in Gates of Hell: Ostfront.

Also randomly started a Miitopia save :D

Gates of Hell: Ostfront

I’m still getting beat by the ai in skirmish. Normal is too easy and the next difficulty is too hard but it’s a lot of fun.

Apart from that I spent time fixing my Miyoo Flip handheld. The hinge had broken but now it works better then before. Even this v2 version is poorly designed but superglue and a little bodge sorted it.

I don’t have any recommendations buy will say that my watch is one thing that I’ve changed over the last 2 years to be “just” a watch. I used to have a Huawei and Samsung and use it for tracking everything but I decided to get a Citizen Eco-Drive and haven’t looked back since.

Fable 2

I’m a few hours in and its a real throwback to 2009 or whenever as I haven’t played it since launch. It feels very familiar but I don’t really remember much about the game. Once thing to note is that after playing Fable Anniversary, Fable 2 definitely has a vibe of being brightly coloured world but often times quite bland with nothing to show in the open world.

Lots of short and random sessions on my handheld. Colin McRae 2.0, PSO, WWE No Mercy and many more. Dreamcast isn’t really viable but some games can be playable with some tweaking but It’s great for PSX and below though. I set up syncthing to backup saves and screenshots so I can easily access them on my PC too :)

Fable Anniversary

I haven’t played much this past week but did finish up the main story and now I’m almost done with the extended storyline in the Northern Wastes area. Also found the Darkwood Bordello quest and did a couple more demon doors/silver keys.

I think one more session and I’m done so looking forward to starting Fable 2 straight after.

edit: completed it this evening :)

Fable Anniversary

I think I’m in the end game now. I was going to go through and find all the collectables first (silver keys, dolls, demon doors etc) but I think I’ll just finish the story and move on to Fable II.

Forza Motorsport 4

Picked it up a couple days ago and played a few hours already. It’s just as fun as I remember but a shame the 360 doesn’t have online functions anymore for the “rivals” stuff. It still looks really good and makes you realise why the console lasted for so long.

I appreciate being able to use Photon here :)
