Loving my zenfone 9, has some issues due to the supported network bands but its usable with some tinkering (USA).

I feel like the odd one out, i prefer most of the early games, FF1, GTA2, Warcraft 1+2, Farcry 1+2

I liked FF1. It’s actually one of my favorite nes games.

It’s quite annoying for me, (when i had an sd card slot) i pulled my card and moved files back and forth a lot because androids “file server” is ass at transferring more than a couple things. WiFi transferring is okay but i don’t like having to constantly map files to an ftp or smb so i can access them quickly, i know I’m in the minority on this but really accessible hot swap storage is super important to me. Most of my drives are removable in my main computer so i can toss them in my bag with my laptop and take what i need with me. My v20 had 2 sd cards tucked into it’s case so i could swap between a (retro)rom library, music library, or run system backups to the 3rd.

Getting a new game and having books and stickers to mess with on the ride home until you can play the game.

Unless they’re blizzard/Activision.

You just reminded me of the cute cats that nougat had as part of that version’s Easter egg. I miss that little thing. Android 12’s sucks.

Can confirm, long live the Usenet.

That would be great it that was standard, too many times i came across a tv that had the audio channels reversed.

At least a few times a week, or when a new album releases when I’m not at home.

Live by the wire, die by the wire(with a 3.5mm plug/jack of course)

5 minutes, not 5 hours, lol, love this game but deffo is a quick way to lose an hour

Both are accurate(if the scale doesn’t include a “0” star option)

If all you do on the pc is play games(as you would on a console) it won’t break (usually) but that’s what debug lights are for diagnosis made easy and then you rma the broken part or buy a new part if the ps5 breaks its basically landfill and you’re out another 450 (if your console is not still under warranty). Forgive my bad grammar, one the alcohol starts the grammar stops

to add on to what you said: At least 80$ per year currently for PS+ essentials(online only basically). if you calculate that out 5 years (i’m gonna give the ps5 the benefit of the doubt here and assume you want to upgrade after that time) thats another 400$ on top of the 450$ you paid for the console. i could build a very well kitted out PC that blows the PS5 out of the water for 850$ and it would last longer and have an upgrade path that could extend its life an additional couple years. this doesn’t even factor in the overall cost savings of games being generally less expensive on PC.

That’s a solution i never knew existed, that’s cool as hell.

I’m aware, but raid 1 is mirroring which is redundancy, a jbod offers no redundancy so a backup would be even more crucial to protecting from data loss. Also i never said raid is a backup.

If you haven’t looked into it, and if you already have the disks of varying capacity, check out JBOD. You will have to configure a system for backups however as you wont have parity like raid1

My version of Vanced borked so i updated to revanced, seems pretty much the same to me.

Forking chromium and stripping out all the google tracking is near impossible(for smaller dev teams). I am aware there are valiant attempts at de-googleing chromium but every one of them that i tried was either still phoning home, or ran like shit, or were so behind on security updates that it was dangerous to use them.
