Well, to be frank, I don’t really like that style. But wouldn’t matter; new Mother!

I would love a new Mother game to be honest…

or another Super Lucky’s Tale, with a bit more challange. That game was a real surprise, how nice of a platformer it is, also really really great music.

I settled with Plasma. It has its fair share of issues, mostly minor things compared to coming from Windows and its environment. But you really can customize it the way you want and it’s relatively comfortable, so I’m fine with it. I still miss the old KDE3, but I’m not that hardcore to use Trinity. Not even sure how’s Trinity nowadays.

Gnome 3 is just not my world, at all… at least, for desktop. I kinda use it on my htpc if I need an environment. That, or Xfce. I can imagine on a palmtop pc or other portable device that runs Linux, either with or without a touchscreen Gnome could be a pretty decent choice. Also, I’m sure I could/would get used to it if there’s nothing else, but there are other options so I’m not going to sit down and get to (re)know Gnome, tho it’s not like I’m against it.

Not really. I like to have it most of the times with me - even at home. I just like to feel its weight in my pocket.

But that doesn’t mean I’m using it always, only if there’s really nothing else, I check the few apps I use then read articles and shit or mess with Termux.

According to Samsung’s weekly reports, I use it less and less each week.

best alternative would be a forum + voice calls + dms IMO

I’m all for it tho I have no idea how to grab the folk’s attention

You give them too much credit. It’s just shitty, that’s it.

Discord is pretty much broken on all platform. It always was. There’s just no real alternative unfortunately.

my experience is that through network, it’s just flawless. I turned on my printer and sure there it was. (though this feature just became a huge issue recently :P)

I liked the Earthbound way of random encounters.

Samsung’s stock Clock app has this function.

Reading your post, all I can think of is to get a decent TV and a small form factor computer, install LibreELEC on it and you have a standalone Kodi box.

Lots of plugins available (YouTube, I think Crunchyroll too), absolutely no ads, no slowdown, fluent and capable UI. It can be strange that all the plugins use Kodi’s framework, but they all work just fine. Some needs some additional things to do to work, but you really set up your plugins once, and they are good to go. I’m using Kodi for 3-4 years continuously as my main media machine and all the plugins updates regularly. You can play back local or remote media through network share seamlessly. Just get a PC with enough hardware to do 4K video. (I’m watching at max 1080p, but for that, a 3rd generation Intel i5 was more than enough).

welp, it’s another story how useful is this picture 😄, it just came to my mind and brought me some nostalgia in the meantime towards the artist. (yeah, saying artist in this case is strange, but otherwise who made this is a digital artist, or was, idk how active still)

reminded me of this picture

I like nano tho it has some strange shortcuts

System of a Down - System of a Down

🤘 thanks dude

One of my “modern” folk song is about exactly this phenomenon.

Edit: here it is, if someone is interested, it’s an old-styled, descending, parlando rubato hungarian folk song. I noted it down using solmization.

         A
  2/4||: la,/8 mi/8 mi/8 re/8 | mi/4+ mi/8 | ti,/8 do/8 re/8 mi/8 | ti,/4 la,/4 | ti,/2* :|
         B
     ||: do/8 do/8 ti,/8 la,/8 | mi/8 re/8 do/4 | ti,/2* | do/8 do/8 do/8 re/8 | mi/8 re/8 do/8 | ti,/2* |
         C
     || so,/8 so,/8 so,/8 so,/8 | so,/4* do/8 ta,/8* | la,/2** ||

(the comma after the solmization indicates the note being in a lower octave. Plus sign after a not length value means it’s dotted. Asteriks means fermata. Also, there is one strange solmization note (used in relative solmization) which I marked as “ta”, it’s a flat ti.)

And the lyrics (in hungarian)

“Várakozom én a százötvenegyes buszra, ( A )
Kezemben készen a sodort cigaretta, ( A )
Meg is gyújtom azon nyomban, ( B )
Szippantok belőle hosszan, ( B )
Ah, de megjött már az a busz.” ( C )

Which translates to this (I used ChatGPT for the translating, told it to be a bit more… free or poetic or idk):

“Standing at the stop, the one-fifty-one in sight,
In my hand, a cigarette rolled tight.
I light it up, breathe in the smoke,
A long, deep breath, with every toke,
Ah, but now the bus is here, just right.”
