Yeah, honestly. My PC is 10 years old (with the exception of my GPU) and still runs the games I play perfectly fine for the most part. If I didn't want to run them smoother at higher graphics settings, or especially if I didn't play games much at all, I'd have no reason to upgrade my PC. And yet I literally can't upgrade my current one to Windows 11 because it doesn't support TPM 2.0.

I think it'll die down on its own over time. I remember when I first joined Mastodon back in November, it felt like my entire feed was full of people who were migrating from Twitter but were still talking about Twitter this and Elon that, and eventually those people either left or found something else to talk about.
Honestly, Stardew Valley for me. I've tried it a couple times and it just didn't work for me. I wanted to like it, and I like the idea of it, but in practice, I hated the time management aspect and not being able to just run around and do as much as I wanted in a day (I haven't played on PC with mods; I know there's at least one or two that let you change that). I also hated the fishing. 🙃
No interest; I won't be using anything by Meta. If the servers I'm on don't defederate from them, I'll just block the domain.
Wow wow wow. This looks so warm and inviting! I love all the wood, too! (And the corgi, of course 🙂)
That's an interesting observation! If you do end up giving it a shot and it doesn't bother you as much via audio, you definitely won't be disappointed in the narrator (IMO). 🙂 (Then again, I feel like I'm really picky about audiobook narrators for some reason, haha).
Aah that's so rough, I'm sorry to hear that! I'm terrified of spiders IRL but fortunately it doesn't extend much to other media 😅
Is it the Final Architecture trilogy that's his new one? I've got the first book on my to-read list, but haven't gotten to it yet. It doesn't look like the audiobook has the same narrator as the Children of Time books, though, which is a bummer!
In turn, it’ll push other manufacturers to up their game and make the best AR/VR headsets they can.
That's definitely what I'm hoping to see! The competition can only be a good thing.
Definitely not on board with the $3499 price tag, so I won't be a first-gen adopter, but this is the first AR/VR headset that's actually made me want one, so I'm looking forward to seeing what the whole landscape looks like in a few years once (hopefully/maybe) prices have come down a bit.
I usually have a print/ebook and an audio book (for the car) going at the same time.
For print book, currently reading Crooked Kingdom, one of the books in the Grishaverse series/world. I, uh, got a little obsessed after watching the first season of Shadow and Bone a year or two ago.
For audiobook, currently listening to Children of Ruin. Not too far into it yet, but I loved loved loved Children of Time (also listened to the audiobook version), so I'm excited to see where this one goes.

Definitely recommend Dorfromantik! Islanders is another super chill casual game (and also a builder) that I started and fell in love with the other day.
