It makes you feel so melancholy, doesn’t it? Like a decade ago, I really enjoyed this small YT channel where she did blind playtbroughs of Dark Souls games. She wasn’t much of a gamer in the beginning and started it because her boyfriend thought it would be entertaining having a complete noob try dark souls. He was right. Anyway, she worked her way through all 3 games over the course of about 2 years, but stopped part way into part 3 and never posted again. It’s been like 7 years. I think about it every now and then and check on the channel. I always wonder if she okay.
I actually just recently, after years of frustration, figured out a technique that works. You squeeze the box near the opening so that it bulges out. Then you can poke it with your finger and rip the top open. Feels like gutting a fish, which I assume now is what they were going for.
I’m visiting for two weeks and roaming prices are insane, I’m considering getting a prepaid SIM-card. Can I easily grab one in any shop, e.g. at the airport/Walmart? What are the prices? Unlimited data would be nice, but I can survive with a few GBs too, I’d probably need it mainly for navigation.
If your phone supports esim, you can actually get free data for 90 days from tmobile. I used it on my last trip to the states and it worked perfectly. I was even able to make calls, which you’re not supposed to be able to do. Here’s a thread about it.
Yes, true. I was specifically referring to streaming of non-live content.
To your second paragraph, that’s a good question. I work for a company that provides live linear streaming along with our non-linear service, and last I heard, the live stream still had the majority share of views. I was a little surprised by that because of the size of the VOD offering, but then I remember how people just love throwing on the TV for noise and not think of it.
Further to that, I occasionally use Pluto, and I find that it’s often easier to just throw on the South Park live channel vs. navigating to the VOD channel and picking an episode. Maybe I’m just one of those old people. Lol.
I got BotW for Christmas back in 2019 and only just finished it a few months ago lol. I was just happy to finally understand all the memes!
My 4 year old and I started playing Mario Sunshine recently, too, and it’s a lot of fun. Definitely one of the more challenging Mario games, but not as big as some made it seem. Very fun.
I’ve spent most of my little free time lately doing the daily challenges on Fallout 76. But I recently finally fired up Wolfenstein New Order that I bought like 4 years ago. Lol. I’m really enjoying it. After that, I might finally start Elden Ring which I got for Christmas.
Edit: lol. Just noticed this was the Nintendo lemmy. Thought it was general gaming. For Nintendo, my kid was just saying she wanted to play Bowser’s Fury again and maybe some Animal Crossing. ☺ I do find AC very relaxing so I might have to lay on the couch with that one soon. Or if I don’t feel like relaxing, I’ll fire up Hades again. Lol
Hahaha. It is pretty appropriate to see such a shift in genre, isn’t it? I think most of my hours on the Switch are definitely Mario games and Animal Crossing. And not just because of my kid. Lol. (Although I say that while she’s next to me playing AC. Haha.)
I’ve been playing FO76 since launch, and I’ve actually always found it enjoyable. But it’s definitely a much improved and in ways a very different game than launch. I highly recommend it to anyone, especially if you’ve liked fallout games in the past. It’s perfectly fine to play solo, which is pretty much how I played it for like the first year. But the events and other multi-player aspects are pretty fun, too. The first time I triggered a server wide event, I didn’t even realize what I had done until suddenly there were a dozen players around me fighting waves and waves of enemies. It was chaos and so much fun. Also, the world is quite beautiful and there’s something so peaceful about just walking around listening to Appalachia Radio. Give it a shot!
Probably get it for my birthday and then not play it for a few years. 😁 But really, I want to get it, but it’s $90 here and I just can’t justify that. I’ll probably wait a few years for it to finally drop to $70 then get it. Lol. Also, I keep telling myself I should get through my backlog of games before I buy more…

How easy is to get a prepaid SIM-card in the US for travel?
