This was a great read. Thanks for sharing. I bought my N64 specifically for this game at the time, and it didn't disappoint. 😊
Sadly, not having touched Nintendo products since their ClockWatch LCD handhelds years earlier, I struggled to find any other games I really liked on the N64. 🤷♂️ There were a couple, but it was all just filler to me.
For me it's that 75%+ of my contactless payments trigger an "insert card and enter PIN" check, which defeats its purpose. Presumably because my bank has become super cautious or their fraud detection is managed by a clanker.
I never have a problem with the same transactions using my phone.
Honestly, I'd prefer to use my card, rather than gift transaction data to my phone manufacturer.
Sure it does. It lets them smile and say, "We did tell you. But you chose to do nothing." Probably even while you're grieving at the recent loss of your child or loved one.
As always, when it comes to the intersection of techbros, threats of legislation and society, this is about making their problems and decisions your responsibility. Politicians fall for it every time, because they love "personal responsibility" rhetoric, and Number Must Go Up continues as before.
There's something similar for Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. In their case it lets those games run on Linux without any other rain dancing needed. And both work very well, the last time I checked.
IIRC, they also disable or omit some or the telemetry and privacy-invasive stuff. (I mean, why not... if they get found, the full weight of the overpaid lawyers they sic on you will behave as if you did far worse).
I assume PlayStation users have higher prices for games and subscription services to look forward to. Probably even "ad-supported" tiers, if they don't already have them.
Yup. That's the main thing stopping me from yeeting Google from my phone (also Samsung): the tickbox sanctity of a non-rooted phone that financial (and some other) apps require. Very frustrating.
I've been using Fastmail (Australian) for years. Costs ~AU$60/year, charged in your local currency.
BYO domain if you want, Masked Emails (random usernames that you can reply from), multiple addresses, full username+
<blah>
@ and/or
<blah>
@username support, groupware suite (email, calendar, contacts, notes, etc), great native apps on all platforms, *DAV support, app passwords (for SMTP, POP3, IMAP, CalDAV, etc), flawless transfer of mailbox history to it (I did almost 15 years of Gmail without a problem), etc, etc.
It doesn't automatically integrate with Bitwarden (AFAIK). They have a 1Password partnership that might, but I use BW with no issue.
Listen to music from any/every country. If you've only listened to music from your own country (or only commercial broadcast radio), oboy... have I got world to show you.
You don't need to understand the lyrics. Good music is good music. It's not "Satanic" or whatever your bogeyman is, trust me. (Unless it is, in which case... 🤷♂️)
Denying yourself the breadth of world music is like believing your country is and has the best of everything while never having travelled abroad once. Objectively laughable.
