Ignore the critics

Let’s say you’re planning to read a new book, watch a Movie or, in my case, considering purchasing a new video game. I usually check review sites like Metacritic to see if it was well-received. For some reason, critics always seem to praise the worst games and shame the best ones.

I know I could just skip reading these reviews, but since I don’t have a lot of money, I need to make smart choices. Sometimes, the reviews from the users help a lot.

Tuta

I like tuta.com (formerly Tutanota). The mobile app is really simple—so much so that they’ve only recently added a red and blue themed dark mode. Aside from that, I have never encountered any problems in my few years of using it.

They offer both free and paid plans. I recently decided to subscribe to Tuta to support their project, although in previous years the free plan worked fine for me.

Good point, but still I want to play a game.

Kvaesitso is such a good launcher, have yet to find something which is better.

Image Toolbox Its a photo editor with everything you need. Its really really powerful and so fleshed out. Everytime I use it, I discover something new. The only sad thing is, that I can’t donate in XMR otherwise I’ve would of donated. If you have an android, download it and try it. It’s a must have on any phone imo.

I tried this but my signal isn’t strong enough to get thorugh the walls. In some classrooms it works, but it’s more like a 50/50 chance to stay connected.

Well it certainly would be cool to break the system but I honestly don’t have the skills for that. I don’t even know how I could possibly do that.

I don’t know where to find the policy regarding the network. The computer isn’t school property, I own it which is more frustrating because I have to uninstall (Just disabeling it and the Killswitch won’t work) any VPN to start using the network.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Still one of my favourites. The only problem is, that my DS Lite has seen better days. I’m currently hoping that some new handhelds will come out with a dual-display. I know that Ayaneo has one but I don’t want the latest and greatest Ryzen, I mean phantom hourglass works perfectly with an Nvidia Tegra chip or something from that generation.

The Iron Giant. It isn’t horrible, but its a lot better in my memory than when I watched it in my adulthood.

I’ve been robbed twice. The first time was a classic trick. One day after school, I was trading Pokémon cards as usual. I had just received a new pack and went to the kid who checked for fake cards. He told me that one card, the Kyogre EX, was fake. I was suspicious because I had mentioned that Kyogre was one of my favorites. He explained that the redness on the back and the paper thickness were off. I trusted him and showed him my entire collection, keeping the Kyogre. After chatting for a bit, I took my book and went home.

The next day, I did the same thing, but when I got home, my entire collection was gone. My mom called some teachers, and it was a big deal because losing something as a kid feels devastating. A few weeks later, the kid approached me and said he found something in the boys’ locker. I checked, and it was my collection, but my beloved Kyogre and Pikachu were missing. I asked him directly why he took those two cards, and he denied it. He offered to trade me for “similar” cards. I agreed, lost five cards, but got my two favorites back.

The second time I was robbed was about two years ago. A seemingly legitimate Amazon delivery driver rang my doorbell, handed me my package, and started making small talk about how beautiful my lawn was and how he wanted someone to make his lawn look like mine. At that moment, I had no idea what was happening. I later suspected that my bike and skis were taken and stuffed into the delivery van. To clarify, it wasn’t an Amazon Prime delivery, but it looked similar because of the blue color.

After the small talk, he said goodbye, and I checked my package. To my surprise, it was an old book, like the free ones libraries give away. I felt something was off, but since I’m not a morning person, I went to work without thinking much about it. When I got home and went through my usual routine, I felt like I had forgotten something. I remembered the Amazon guy and the package, and then I realized that Amazon doesn’t ship to my country. I know that sounds like an important detail to forget, but I can be pretty forgetful.

Confused, I checked my lawn and then turned my home upside down, quickly noticing my bike and skis were missing. The bike wasn’t a huge loss since I didn’t ride much, but it still hurt because bikes aren’t cheap. The skis were particularly upsetting because they were a gift from someone very important to me. Luckily, my insurance covered everything, but the sentimental value can never be replaced. The police were informed, and some of my neighbors were also missing items.

Open the windows at night and close them in the morning. If you have many electric devices, like I do, turn them off or put them into a dedicated room. With many, I mean lots of devices.

Coop Prix Guarantie CousCous salad.

I live in switzerland and my lunch costs CHF 2.50 so I don’t know where you’ve been eating for one hundred + francs for a ‘real meal’.

I absolutely loved PVZGW. I have great memories of playing it.

Underrated:

• Scarlet Nexus
• Wii U Gameland
• Colobot

Deserves a Second Chance:

• Atomega (Died because ubisoft didn’t update it)
• Biomutant, Lots and lots of dialogue but I actually liked it

i wish a lemmy community existed like r/wordington with unhinged content. And more communities dedicated to games, which are active like a Terraria community for instance.
