Seeing dead games come back to life for people who have fond memories of them makes me happy. I'm hoping for the same with The Crew which is being worked on by fans to resurrect it.

I wish portable devices went back to being made with toolless battery swapping in mind like the old game boys.

Obsidian is my main notetaking app, so I use the kanban plugin to keep a list of games I'm playing, plan to play, and finished.

Strikeforce Kitty. Never heard of it but it looks cute.

Where is it located? I type sponsor into field after clicking settings and it didn't come up and tried scrolling through settings to find it.

It is a great feature for searches with how algorithm can flood results with bigger channels. Unfortunately app doesn't have sponsorblock which has become a must for me.

Does grayjay let you block channels on youtube? I've been using freetube and pipepipe due to the ability to block channels.

My classrooms banned phones so I played games on my graphing calculator or did the old fashioned drawing.

I wonder how prevalent adblocking is among the younger generations. Even among my peer group I'd see people browsing the web with no adblock and a bunch of ads on websites when I'd glance at a sea of laptops. It was eye opening that outside of the social media I use that many people are just not tech literate. Is ad acceptance trending upward as people get younger and younger?

Not having microSD isn't a trend I like, since expandable storage with less reliance on cloud services and not being upcharged to move up a tier on internal storage is ideal. It is sad to see it is mostly dead over the years.

But, one good thing I do look forward to is the EU requiring user-replaceable batteries by 2027 that will hopefully make replacing batteries much easier than it is now. I miss the days when batteries could be popped out and swapped on the spot.

What I wrote might have been confusing, but I was trying say that places like lemmy may have view points that express preferences that aren't representative of the mainstream. Like how there may be more positive Linux comments on average per user.

But, that it doesn't necessarily mean the people expressing those views believe them to be representative of the mainstream. It is more just them expressing their thoughts.

However, people I found across social media can mistake what are simply individual opinions as general proclamations, and immediately jump to "Oh this person is claiming that their view point is one most people hold. What a bold claim." When all they were saying was I like turtles as opposed to most people like turtles.
