In a way this is the same as money to them, just a new generation concept of money. Where older generations use money to buy physical items, they use simulated ingame currency to buy digital items.

I pay $112 for bell fiber internet and $42 for virgin 20gb after taxes. No bundles. Phone is paid for. I live in a small town 45mins from the 401? You can certainly get cheaper internet/phone than $200 a month. Although between the 2 of us, we average more than $100 person/week. We certainly don’t buy the cheapest we can but we budget where we choose.

I think this is great. You can argue he’s making money off it or benefiting in some way but as long as people get to live in these houses on an affordable budget, great. They get a place to call home, personal space, a community with similar struggles. Most people don’t need big spaces, they just need a space and shelter.

Personally, years ago when I was coding I would get neck strain from having the monitor below my eye level because I found my head movement always followed my eyes. So when my eyes were always looking slightly down, I would always start to tilt my head down to compensate. It wasn’t until I raised my monitor much higher that my headaches went away. Even now when I hold my phone, I naturally hold it to the middle of my eye level, not below.

Battlefield might be ok if they gave it some decent updates and not just selling new skins. It’s been long forgotten.

That doesn’t make sense. First you say to look down then say looking down is too much strain. I think it would make more sense to position the center of your monitor at eye level so you don’t need to always look down or always up. Plus the content is viewed in the center of the screen, not at the top.

It’s not much to describe winter as “that one blizzard”.

I think they would have done well if they did not stray so far after SR2. It’s fun fooling around and being wacky in a game that has realism to it but when the game is built solely around being wacky it’s just boring.

I only upgrade my phone when it starts to lag and slow down. My last phone I replaced the battery when the life started dropping.

I use PiHole on my home network to block ads across all devices. I mostly use it specifically for our smart TV as our Samsung loves to display Big Mac ads and track the hell out of everything. This way I can still stream to it. I have my phone and computer routed through it but my girlfriend doesn’t like how it slows down TikTok. Probably a reason for that 😁

Currently smoothie with 1 cup milk, protein powder scoop, banana, handful of strawberries, handful of mango.

Previously half a bowl of oatmeal. Or toast.

iPhone 14 pro max.

Upgrade from iPhone X that I bought 4 years ago? I want my phone to be stupidly simple and iPhone has always done that for me. I use my phone for everything and barely use my computer anymore so I went all in on it.
