Vivaldi is excellent. This is my preferred chromium browser when something doesn’t work on my primary gecko browsers.

Kraft singles in your area, I imagine.

You can fix this by tying an onion to your belt, which is a style.

If you don’t have an onion, I recommend making a stew that blinds you for one day.

You can by opting out of the current machinery of music.

I buy CDs and digital music on Qobuz and Bandcamp, and immediately archive it. Instant high quality lossless FLAC. Upload it to my own server and I can stream it on the go if I want. But for now, I also duplicate the effort by syncing the local files to my smart phone. I have complete and total authority over my music purchases. The simple time is now.

On another note, I’ve been thinking about resurrecting my iPod Classic or possibly my iPod nano. The rectangular yellow one. Loved that thing.

Same here. It’s a tight-knit, pretty small community for now. If it ever grows much bigger, it’ll be a lot harder to recognise users.

We just need more persons out there commenting and posting (not bots).

Take a salt tablet, cowboy. Get back in that saddle. If it still hurts, chug some Pepto Bismol. We got work to do.

I can hear this GIF. Seared into my brain from when I was a teen.

I had the same problem too. Many years ago in December the final weeks when businesses are slow, I painstakingly went through and edited every single one of my accounts one at a time and changed emails. If there was a legacy thing I couldn’t access or a system that wouldn’t let you change your email, then I discarded it. How do you eat a dinosaur? One bite at a time.

Through my investment in time, all my accounts are managed via the method I commented above. I own my email, and I control how I get contacted.

I’ve been off Gmail for years and deleted all my Google accounts. Here’s how you can do it, too.

Step 1: Export your emails from Gmail into an EML file.

Step 2: Sign up for a new paid email provider: Tuta, Mailbox.org, Proton to name a few.

Step 3: Import your emails.

Done.

Optional Steps (that I recommend):

1. Buy your own domain name (e.g., YourSurnameEmail.com)
2. Set up your email provider to use your Custom Domain name. Or alternatively, sign up for a service like Addy.io and use your domain name there to create alias emails.
3. Go to your domain name manager and add the settings your email provider tells you to use. This will enable your domain name to serve emails.
4. Start sending and receiving emails using your own custom email address that belongs to you.
5. Don’t like your email provider after a few years? Simply find a new one. Change your domain name settings to point your domain name to your new email provider. All your email addresses stay with you and you NEVER have to change email addresses again.
6. Swap every email login you have to use a new alias email. For example, [email protected] for Facebook, [email protected] for some web site login, [email protected] for Steam gaming, etc. Save all credentials to your password manager.

With this, you now have a unique email address for every single service, and all those alias email addresses forward your email to your actual email address. The benefit is that no one knows your real email address except you. Bye bye SPAM. When an alias email gets leaked or sold, you’ll know which company failed you. Simply swap to a different alias email, and disable the compromised alias - all SPAM stops.

Man I would’ve been pissed if I saw this, and hadn’t finished Hades. What a spoiler!

I think the “A” picture is from one of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians movies. I recognise that sword.

Loved this phone. I had the Nokia Lumia 920 in yellow. Fantastic user experience back in the day, but unfortunately no apps.

Working through some more Pokémon Legends Z-A, with a sprinkling of Cyberpunk 2077 here and there.

You mean there’s another way?!

When you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the neck. You can do anything.

Installing spyware and wire taps in my home was never appealing to me.

I’m playing Cyberpunk now for the first time but knew who the voice actress was for female V - Cherami Leigh. She always does a wonderful job and can communicate emotion eloquently in her work. Instantly picked her for my first playthrough.

Here’s her characters in some of my favorite media:

• Makoto Nijima, Persona 5
• A2, NieR:Automata
• Sonia, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
• Asuna Yuuki, Sword Art Online
• Sailor Venus in Sailor Moon Viz dub

Control is a very fun game, and Jesse was an intriguing character with an unusual backstory. Enjoyed my time with it. I’m optimistic for Control 2 and hope we’ll get more lore! And of course, something that hits as hard as the Ash tray maze!
