I enjoyed it. The only thing I would say is that there wasn’t a lot of tension or risk of loss in the series. It was more a low key telling of a period in someone’s fictional life. It kind of left me wondering if the last episode coincides with the last chapters of the book or if the season only covers part of the book like what was done with Silo.

Agreed on the M1. Anything entry level for Apple is decent but not really meant to push the envelope very far. I had a 16GB Mac mini and it served me very well for software development. I had to run multiple ram hogging tools at the same time so it did have pauses when switching between them. Other than that it was a beast. It held up well compared to my higher end MacBook Pro i9 with 32 GB Ram. The M1s run very cool. You’ll wonder if your machine even has a fan except if you’re doing a long intensive processing job. The M2s from my experience run hotter. I have an M2 iPad that I’m betting becomes thermally throttled just by watching Netflix. Not that it stutters, it just becomes warm to the touch.

Does the orange pi 5 also require active cooling? That’s one of my bigger hangouts about the RPi5.

The only argument they have that I do agree with is the outside special interests influence. The casino and medical marijuana amendments are prime examples of that. For the record, I still voted no. Fuck Frank LaRose. He’s a hypocrite.

Still, I don’t like the outside money and influence on our constitution nor our legislature, the latter being the bigger problem.

The canvassers whose petitions I signed for the upcoming election were both from out of state being paid to collect signatures. I’m not sure we can ever really have a grassroots movement in this country ever again until dark money is no longer allowed in our politics.

Story wise they didn’t leave much room for a sequel. It gets wrapped up nicely at the end. I didn’t play any of the DLC but the impression that I got was that a lot of possible sequel material was covered in them. The game was really good and definitely worth picking up on a sale price. It will give BotW vibes but don’t think of it as a clone. It’s got a good story and a nice little twist at the end. The boss fights were a joy if not painful at times. The puzzles were mostly good and not too obtuse. I think I had to use Google on a few of them. It is annoying with the extra clothing and style purchases that the game tries to get you to spend real money for. It tarnished an otherwise good game.

I was scrolling through my feed when I suddenly hit the bottom. It was a weird feeling like I had somehow scrolled to the end of Reddit. Now it’s only loading spinners. I plan to keep the Reddit app off of my phone and use mlem instead. My only Reddit use is going to be on my tablet with all of the custom ads and tracking turned off.
