  • I was in the same situation as you (though in the US so that replaceable battery model likely won’t release here), I desired to get a Switch 2 despite having a TOTK OLED simply because of Switch 2 exclusives like the upcoming Fire Emblem. I have a perfectly good working console that’s more aesthetically pleasing than a Switch 2, better screen albeit smaller, with accessories that would be useless with an upgrade.

    With the price hike imminent, I bit the bullet and bought one. For me it was at least a bit easier as I had gift cards to bring down the price. As much as I dislike Nintendo’s practices, I have to admit that they’ve given me enough reason to buy one by now.

    I’ll likely sell my Switch 1. Might hold onto it for a little. I’m not really sure.




  • Vivaldi is a great Chromium browser. I’m more of a Firefox/Librewolf on my personal machines, but my work’s software has a few features that only work with Chromium extensions so I had to use it. Was my preferred alternative to all others, while bloated it was highly controllable and didn’t focus on unnecessary features like Brave or others. My work recently banned any browser that isn’t Chrome/Edge/Firefox though, so I guess I’m back to Firefox and will ignore the features I can’t use


  • When I started college, I still had somewhat of a picky palette. Would pick a lot off my meals and stick to safer foods. My partner at the time started coercing me to try foods or ingredients I didn’t like, for example sliced raw tomato on a deli sandwich. This ended up working very well for many things: tomato, broccoli, cauliflower, pineapple, and a few others. This could’ve been attributed to me “growing up” or finally being exposed to better preparations than what I had before college, but I like to think she had the largest influence.

    The only one that wouldn’t work is pickles. Couldn’t stand them despite liking cucumbers and vinegar. For all other foods, I’d forcibly eat them until one day I’d form a “craving”, somewhat Stockholm syndrome-ing myself. Pickles never worked. At least, not for 9 years from when this venture began. During this past August, while grocery shopping I finally got my craving so I bought a jar and finished it within 2 days.

    Next up, maybe red wine or beer.
