Re: IMG_0001, or, the YouTube time capsule of small moments

Oh man, now this is the internet I'm fond of. I remember when most of my Youtube home page was homemade videos like these. This feels like watching a small snippet of someone's life, videos of their pets, their walks to the park, a random shot of someone's living room TV... It feels... real, like ...

Re: Physical Media


I've heard a fair amount about how shops such as GameStop don't actually sell many games anymore, which is a real disappointment. In England, though, we have CeX (please don't pronounce it out loud, especially in front of kids - whoever called it that absolutely knew what they were doing), which ...

Re: Physical Media


I am a SUCKER for physical media, as it is far and away my favorite way to engage with almost every medium.

I guess it breeds a sort of intentionality? Because you have to make a very conscious decision you are going to interact with your collected arts

As for what i do with physical media:
I ...

Re: Halo 2 & The Long Goodbye

That was a cool video recommendation. Some of the last quotes from the video hit me hard, how these 14 players were hanging on to the past just to keep a world and memories they were fond of, alive.

And yeah, we can all agree that forums are, in some way, a remnant of the past, a little ...

Re: What's something that annoys you about the modern Internet?

The fact that it never ends. Back then I'd jump on my computer after a long day and check out what was going on. My feed was something like 20 posts long, of people that I knew, and I felt like I was keeping up to date with whatever was going on at the time.

Nowadays, something like one out of six ...

Re: Favorite Pens

Since I was in primary school some of my go-to pens have always been:
- Classic BIC
- Pilot V5 HI-TECPOINT 0.5
- Pilot Vball 0.5mm

There's not a particular reason why I choose them. The fact that I can still use the same pens from my childhood always brings back some good memories.

Re: Circumventing MS account requirement

Always use Rufus when creating bootable Windows 11 Install USB's.

In my case, I always install Windows 11 Pro, and It allows you to:
- Disable some data collection services
- Remove the requirement for a Microsoft account
- Remove TPM requirement
- Disable BitLocker device encryption
- Remove the ...

Re: Nintendo Switch 2

To be honest it's been a while since I've actively played videogames in a regular manner, and by that I mean that I probably play once or twice every couple of weeks, so my perception of this launch might be off.

Handheld consoles aren't "portable" anymore. I get it, everyone has a smartphone ...
