Rural Japan.

My kids (2 and 4) can use chopsticks already. Plenty of restaurants around here where you won't see a spoon, fork or knife. (However, it's certainly possible to ask the staff for western cutlery, and in the main cities they're more likely to be prepared for that question)

Pi-Hole is a really thing but I don’t think my tech skills are quite up to scratch. Plus I think the wife would get ratty if it stopped working while I was out.

Disco Elysium I think. It’s a goddamn quote factory that game!

And I feel like that happened really quickly. It doesn’t feel like that long ago that Edge was a nice, nimble browser. Not this bloated naggy beast it is now.

For me it was more a system than an specific game. I got a second hand GameBoy when I was like 5 or 6 and have been gaming consistently since then. Probably the highlight of that period was Super Mario though.

Who’s monopoly are we talking about? If that’s the goal then Firefox + DuckDuckGo would be more sensible right?

Oh nice! I super want to get Blasphemous 2. I loved the first one.

I’m continuing my slow progress through Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

Yeh, it works pretty great. And they’re working hard to cut the waiting time down.

Oh interesting! I’d never heard of le-potato. I’ll check that out, thanks!

That’s a really nice idea! And a great way to connect with your children.

Oh cool! I’m also replaying that, kind of. I completed the original and this is my first time with SOTFS. I’m loving all the changes so far. Feels so fresh but also familiar. I’m also trying a magic build for the first time. I usually favour dex.

Oh cool! I can’t wait! Cheers!

Haha, wow. We’re in pretty similar situations then. Good call with the dex, you gotta keep that stamina level high too.

I’ve heard of Miyoo before. Glad to hear some first hand comments on it. I might be tempted. Is PS1 the newest console it can run? How about N64 or Dreamcast? I guess the controls might be an issue there.

Also, isn’t Metroid Fusion a GBA game rather than Genesis? 😜

Oh cool. That could be a good solution! Thanks!

I think Ecosia pulls results from Bing if that’s any better? I use them occasionally but generally prefer DDG.

Good luck!

Ah yeh, I tried StartPage for a while. IIRC the image results page wasn’t so great. Not many filter options and so on.
