I was just thinking about this when I suddenly remembered that 'avoid player' prompt on the X360. Feels like it should definitely be easier to accomplish, especially on some of the most popular games in the world. It's not like we're in danger of running out of people to matchmake with...

I can't really take a photo of the thing itself, but I bought the Google Pixel 7 Pro, which takes nice photographs of OTHER things. My dog, usually.

Had this since the game launched, won't give it up for a long time tbh.

WOW. That's a beautiful car, I'd love to go for a spin in something like this one day.

I was mildly intrigued by the Google Pixel Fold until I saw the price. lol. Seems like the regular Pixel 7 is the top candidate now; the 7 Pro doesn't really offer enough to warrant the extra spend. I'd prefer to get the standard model with extra storage.

I get that. Steam Deck does GENERALLY do fine with games that Valve has verified, but it's not a perfect system. It definitely has a stronger appeal to those willing to tinker, but at worst, you can factory reset it anytime and go back to using stock settings for any game on Steam.

Starting to debate if the Google Pixel 7 Pro is worth the extra cash. Obviously the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has a fantastic camera, but I can't warrant spending that kind of cash on a phone lol.

I am leaning towards a Google Pixel tbh. The Pixel 7 looks great, although I know there's supposed to be a Pixel 7a coming soon. I just want a better camera without annihilating my bank account with a Samsung flagship.

Running Windows from the SD card has been surprisingly fine, despite all the apparent warnings some people give against it. I've been running a Raspberry Pi 3B almost nonstop with the official OS from an SD card, and that's been fine, but a Linux distro is much more lightweight than Windows 11...

Man, these DIY projects are fantastic. I'm really considering buying more tools, but I don't have any space to store them, lol. I did pick up a few basic power tools and had been decorating each room of our house one at a time, but I had to borrow so much stuff. Maybe I should build a shed this...

What's the green one with coconut(?) Whatever it is, I want it

Nightcrawler. Crawl on walls like Spider-Man, but teleport anywhere in your line of sight. Probably with a cooldown and other downsides, but I always thought Nightcrawler was the coolest of the X-Men.

Honestly, if I'm trying to focus on work, the soundtrack for the original Sims is peak.

I've been going to a little indie German food stall and buying a currywurst platter three weekends in a row now - it's outrageously delicious. First time I've ever tried sauerkraut, and I'm hooked.

iPhone 11 - it isn't exactly exciting to use as a daily driver. I have no idea what I'll buy next, can't figure out what's most important for me in a phone beside the obvious camera quality. Folding phones seemed cool, but I can't tell if it'll disappear like a fad. It feels like most vendors...
