Sometimes someone can say something to me and it sounds like simlish. At least I can avoid that in video games/tv.

Bouncing off of this, I think that crossovers can be fun. But I like crossovers that are one-off, non-canon adventures. A "what if" scenario.
I don't like how the MCU starts piling sequel upon sequel, with references to so many different stories that I'd need to watch to understand, most of which I don't care to keep up with. I like Toby Maguire's Spiderman films more than Tom Holland's is specifically because they're self contained, simple, and focused.
I remember enjoying Rogue One overall, but also having my suspension of disbelief thrown out when the movie was ending and you could tell the writers we're going "well, now we have to kill all the main characters, so let's just get it over with one by one in a sequence"
And you pay once and that's it! It's got frequent updates, and I've never felt pressured to spend in their store. Was actually happy to buy some heroes after a while, considering how much mileage I've gotten out of it.
Bloons TD 6. Only game I've had installed for years, the pop pop pop makes my brain happy in a way I can't explain.
You make a real good point.
My laptop's my primary driver, and the device I go to when I need to do any real work. I sometimes get frustrated trying to do something on my phone and switch to my laptop because it's far more efficient. My phone's for doomscrolling and music primarily, so I don't need all the bells and whistles.
For my mum, on the other hand, her phone is her primary driver and the big screen is especially useful with aging eyes so she can make the font bigger and still have real estate. The pocket thing isn't an issue either because she just throws it into her purse.
Though, she does drop her phone and crack the screen way more often than I do, bit unwieldy when they hit the phablet size. 🤔 I wonder if manufacturers like that, more money in warranties/repairs.
Small hands. My Pixel 4a is as big as I'll go at 5.8", as I can reach the other side of the phone with my thumb to type one-handed.
Mint user here, did the switch years ago and never came back. Steam with Proton makes gaming easy, and for games not on Steam, you can look at Lutris (played WoW like that with no problems).
My only experience with AI is tensorflow, but interfacing with Nvidia cards is easier on Linux than Windows, since I ended up needing to use WSL anyway.
The only browser stuff that might get annoying is Pearson exams, if you ever need to do any. They really don't like Linux users.
Had a classmate last semester unable to use the software needed for the class on his mac cuz it wasn't compiled for the m chip. Woulda worked on an older Intel mac.
Downside of switching away from Intel and not going the "clone the machine code" route that AMD did.
Started with Tennant, dropped the show at the end of Smith's run from the burnout, then came back ten years later only to realize Capaldi's my favourite.
I think the break had a lot to do with me reevaluating the show in general though, my tastes have changed.
12 and 60 divide nicely. A quarter of a 12-hour clock is 3 hours, but in decimal time it'd be 2.5 hours. A third is 4 hours in base 12, but some gross 3.33 repeating in decimal.
I just don't like it.
