  • Motorola Moto Edge (2021)

    Pros: Moto’s classically lite skin with sensible additions that can be turned off if you don’t want them, great battery, great performance, really just a well rounded device.

    Cons: I think I legally have to mention the update cadence, and lack of long-term support, but honestly it doesn’t bother me. Android versions haven’t mattered much past, what, Jelly Bean? Though longer security support would be nice. Also, the camera can be a little soft, but I don’t take a ton of photos so I’m rather ambivalent on it.

    Honestly, I paid a good price for an unlocked device that still holds up amazingly well. I’m very satisfied.


  • I still do, but not in the same capacity.

    With the death of BaconReader I don’t scroll as much, and just from looking at my front page, I imagine it’s not only the summer doldrums that have thinned it out so much. It’s just… harder to find good discussion there, and what I do find is often charged in some way, or very thin. So, I stick around for some of the communities that I’m more active in, but I’m also doing things on Lemmy, and a few other places. Honestly, idk that I’ll ever full drop Reddit in the same way that I did, say, MySpace, mostly in that there’s probably going to be some value somewhere on the site. But, it’s certainly not my main source of idle scrolling or engagement anymore.

    Also, yes, I know I can still make BR work, but at this point I’ll just keep using Reddit in browser with uBlock Origin.



  • Just a heads up OP, Capcom did improve the multiplayer experience in Monster Hunter Rise. No more waiting to join a friend till after they’ve seen a cut scene. Honestly, makes playing with other people a lot smoother. Also, Avengers was kinda rough imo. I picked it up for about $8 a few months back after they mentioned it was going down and all the content was included, found the main story pretty meh, and gave up on getting to the DLC since it would take take a good bit of grinding to get to it. Certainly not the worst I’ve ever played… but wow does it leave a lot to be desired. Here’s hoping you have more fun with it.

    As for me: if I’m counting Friday, PowerWash Simulator dropped the SpongeBob DLC on Thursday, so I finished that out. Really fun, super high quality, though a shame it doesn’t appear to have the music present. That being said, music licensing is wild, so I don’t really hold it against the devs.

    Planning to get back into Final Fantasy XIV some more as I’ve been out of it for months and just kinda wanna play it some more. It has literally been months though, so I’m super terrified of getting back into like, the actual new content. Just gotta shake the rust off I guess, so I’ve been cleaning up some solo stuff to get the feel back.

    And since I’ve got the 4th off as well, probably going to tip into some Boltgun as I haven’t finished it yet. It’s good, but it hasn’t grabbed me like some of the other boomer shooters I’ve played lately. Oh well.
