  • I had a few issues when i first started using it but that was because i wanted to tinker and i installed using the rpm-tree thing and at one point it broke updates. But it was easy to fix because of it being an atomic os and all i had to do was reinstall it with a rebase in the terminal, restart the pc afterwards and not only was i fully updated on a “fresh” install, without all of my goober breakages glommed on, i still kept all of my userdata, flatpaks, games and saves. Was great.

    I really need to explore atomic for my daily driver at some point, but the tinkerer in me still loves the freedom of arch.











  • I’m not arguing about the games that have phone home mechanics, through personal experience there don’t seem to be too many of them out there, they’re mostly multiplayer ones (I’m not saying there are no single player games that do that though - but they very much seen few and far between, i can’t even think of one off of the top of my head). And there is a difference between having the disc over the download because if i was to uninstall it for space, there is always a chance that during that time my license gets revoked, my account closed, hacked, or just forgotten the password for whatever reason. With a disc, it’s always there as long as i always know where it is and i don’t break it. Sony aren’t ever going to kick down my door and demand the disc back


  • Sadly this is what I think eventually broke up my last relationship. My ex was very much that, I wanted to show I could do things on my own accord but I never got the chance to actually do so and my brain in all of its fucked up ways refused to do all of that stuff less after being told to do so because it’s further perpetuating that i can’t do it without being told to first. And further down that spiral i went, deeper and deeper.

    I had to stop with the pixels after the 3. The 3 was already my upper limit on size and i wanted a slightly smaller phone. Sadly at the time i upgraded their was only bigger phones and then the jelly star which is tiny. I got the jelly star and it lasted me a good few years before the battery fully crapped out on me, but i would still prefer a phone in-between those two sizes.



  • I’m sad they didn’t keep the retro razr design language from the second generation onwards and instead just copied samsungs design language and tweaked it. I really liked how the original had a chin that slid the display under slightly when folding so the fold didn’t have to be as drastic and crease inducing
