I’ve posted it repeatedly but I’d like to add the (paid extension) Vinegar extension as a recommendation for iOS Safari.
Enable extension, add YT to home screen and stop seeing ads.
Combined with Banish for Safari - stopping the “open in app” popups on websites, my online experience is golden.
I used to own both a Series X, PS5 and have my gaming PC (all in the same room - desktop currently has an i5 13500, RTX 3090 24GB, 4TB of NVME storage & 128GB ram)
Got myself a 5m hdmi lead capable of driving my 4k/120 TV and just ended up using my pc for everything now.
I just switch sources between my monitor and tv when I want to game on the couch. Any mouse/keyboard input needed, I do it on the Unified remote app on my phone and fire up Steam big picture on the tv.
Sold the PS5 and XBOX and ditched two more subscriptions hitting me every month.
No regrets so far.
Are classic side scrollers ok to suggest?
Fighting as the car (hornet) from Daytona USA on Fighters Megamix is the one for me.
I use it to access any websites that I want to that Virgin Media block due to court orders issued by the UK high court.
Just set this up on my Unraid server and it’s amazing. Great suggestion and thank you.
I hate where the internet is right now.
Anyone trying to get information written by a human or decent benchmarks of CPUs is in for a real crap time.
Just tested i5 12400 vs i3 12100f and was met with results in this order:
The crap just goes on. SEO optimised lists of (at best) affiliate link laden spec sheets with no real information form an actual human.
I’ve found my feed really picking up the past two weeks. Plenty of decent content to consume which is great.
Nice growth.
They’re doing the right thing in this case for sure.
Not having one of your official update/news mediums being fundamentally changed in how you and your customers interact with each other by a hostile third party is a good thing.
Shoving things onto twitter/discord/facebook wouldn’t be a good alternative either.
Bing/Bing chat in combination with Microsoft Rewards.
When I got into my gaming rut I took some time off and got into Homelabbing. Used to scroll through my extensive steam library and nothing caught my interest so I needed something new.
Learned about different NAS Os’s, Docker, Linux and seeing what I could get out of some low-powered hardware and what I loved most was learning new things.
Started with a Raspberry Pi when they weren’t stupid expensive and moved onto a cheap Intel Nuc to my home made, small form factor NAS running Unraid and a 2nd cheap Thin Client running Ubuntu Server.
I focussed on doing more with my computer hardware and for a long while, didn’t feel the necessity to game much, then one day I fired up Forza Horizon 4 and had a good, enjoyable 5 hour session on it.
Now I’m back into re-playing Horizon Zero Dawn, I plan to move onto Forbidden West after and tearing around the UK and Mexico in Forza Horizon 4/5.
See if you can find another hobby or something that can enhance your knowledge on something you’ve never tried before for a while, one day you ,ignite just fire up a game after having a rest and get that spark back.
Just claimed that and Neverwinter Nights, I always forget to check each week!
Thanks.
These are all I use:
Edge on desktop:
Safari on iOS:
Warhammer Boltgun, Forza Horizon 4 & Fallout 76.
Boltgun is incredible, best new game I’ve bought this year.
Fallout 76 (don’t judge) is great just to burn some time doing events with randoms and joining public teams.
I’ve really gotten into Forza Horizon 4 again recently and am also playing through that on the Deck.
I’ve added a 1tb SSD to mine so it’s running Windows and Linux meaning I’m pretty much free to play my whole library. Love the thing.
I started with the Black Widow fallout 3 perk figuring there world be more male characters than female when fighting.

It stuck after that.
