My man

Kodi with a Real Debrid subscription for me.

Instantly paid for the ad free version even though I’m rocking an ad blocker. This is a pristine app, every bit as good as the original Reddit app.

I recently got a Qudelix 5K and it has replaced my old desktop amp and all my dongles and stuff in one hit, it’s great!

Damn son, if the Eikon aren’t high end cans I don’t know what to tell you! lol. I’m a ChiFi IEM plonker and my nicest headphones are the 6XX and a Fostex THX00. No way I’ll be going further!

I did get sucked in. I bought a few Filcos (I live in Japan so JIS layout is a must) and recently got the new Keychron K8 Pro JIS for home. It’s MUCH nicer all around than the Filcos.

As for headphones, I have a few nice sets, but state of Chinese IEMs these days is SO GOOD that $20-30 can get you some REALLY good sound. I still get a new pair every now and then just to sample new flavours, but I’m finished spending big money on amps and stuff.

TBH loads of stuff about headphones and audio equipment, gaming and computers, etc. and also discovered loads of great music and movies there.

$170 AUD for a lifetime “ultra” license.

I am a long time Solid Explorer user and I’ve tried MiXPlorer a few times but always went back to Solid. What does MiXPlorer do that Solid can’t?

Sadly I can’t foresee a future where social media isn’t a dominant force. Like what could possibly displace it at this point? Only dismantling GAFAM could make it work.

Yes I am aware of the irony of posting this comment on social media.

People still throw OCD around like they’re the world’s quirkiest person “oh that’s just my OCD lol”

True blue battler!

Blokada was a massive system hog when I used it. Switched to using NextDNS and it’s so much better. Not sure if it would remove ads from Spotify though.

Hey yo I also type 50/50 in Japanese and English and came here wondering if there were any Gboard alternatives out there yet.

Unsatisfactory for what? The only things I can’t find on RD are occasional really old or foreign films/shows. Even then there’s usually at least a 480p version if I’m really desperate. I have considered switching to Usenet before but it seemed super complicated.

I’ll check it out. Kodi definitely does take some nerdy configuration. BTW Fen is much faster than Seren, give it a try.

With the Fen add-on linked with Trakt.

I use Kodi with a subscription to Real Debrid. Are these options better?

I honestly hardly even play retro games, but for some reason I love getting controllers. I use the official controllers with my PS4 and PS5, but I also have two 8bitDo SN30 Pros, and 8bitDo Ultimate BT which I use for PC and Switch, and even an arcade stick somewhere (I made a promise to myself that I was gonna pick a fighting game to get good at, but never did).

I also used to run a LOT and now can’t anymore cause of injury. Tried swimming but it wasn’t enough to keep me in shape due to my age and…indulgent lifestyle.

Going to the gym became my only option and yeah, the results were almost instantaneous. I lost quite a few kilos, felt more energised, and my outward appearance improved.

I think when you consider the positives it makes a lot of sense…

• You feel good for challenging yourself, and even better when you succeed.
• You feel good full stop because exercise gives your endorphins.
• You feel good for sticking to a routine. This has the added benefit of demanding that you are more organised generally, in order to make time for workouts.
• You feel good because you start to look better.
• You feel good because it helps to relieve day-to-day stress that builds up.

I’m not aiming to get huge or anything. But I think the benefits should be pretty obvious. I enjoy going for the reasons I just listed and cause I can listen to music on my headphones and kind of zone out.
