A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

what phone is that?
Unihertz Jelly Star. I wanted a modern phone smaller than my pixel 3. Seemed to be the only viable option at the time. It's crazy how big phones are now, even the compact ones are bigger than what I class as a big phone
huh neat, I didn't know that was a thing! I'm tempted because I feel like I'd be less inclined to doomscroll on it, which seems like a feature rather than a bug.
it seems kinda thick though, do you think it's more comfy in a pocket despite that?
It's more comfy in the pants despite the thickness.
Think about how much a thin but big phone sticks out when placed on a cylinder. This has less surface area that's touching your leg so you barely feel it.
Doom scrolling can still happen on this phone like but it does make certain stuff just make me want to wait till I'm at a computer to do it instead, like shopping and whatnot. So I find that a plus, somewhat.
Yeah, I wish my phone was a bit smaller, but it's already on par or smaller than most of the industry (Pixel 8).
