I am very minimal with what I carry.
I always have phone, headphones (either wired earbuds or my shokz bone conducting ones) and the least amount of keys(this is currently down to a single key on a small elastic cord).
If I am cycling I add in a small cafe lock, and in the summer I include spf30 Chapstick as well.
That is all the stuff ever really worry about taking with me on a daily basis.
Phone tech is really boring. Almost everything looks the same, they are all x% faster than last year’s model which still does everything perfectly fine. In terms of hardware, the phone has kinda reached the optimal place.
I’m not the target audience for bleeding edge phones though. I take photos, listen to music(using Bluetooth and wired headphones), browse the web and message people. I don’t really play games or use it for work.
By far the most interesting thing to me is foldable phones. I really like the idea of a flip phone, but I don’t think it would be too happy sitting in my sweaty pocket while I cycle.
Trust me, you could absolutely follow the example of other drivers and use your phone while driving.
Similar set up for me. But 21:9 is my desktop, so discord, web browser, anything that is lower quality. Then my 16:9 is my gaming and high quality content screen.
This is because my 21:9 monitor is a bit older now, and a 144hz VA panel, and I hate it for games. My new 16:9 is an OLED and 240hz and it is absolutely gorgeous. I also mostly play fighting games, so anything more than 16:9 is just black, well in the case of the VA panel grey and a bunch of light bleed.
Paige NO!

It allows use of chrome and Firefox extensions, and ublock origin works.
They keep throwing around threats of leaving.
Do it… do it you absolute chickens.
Pretty sure he means a deluxe edition upgrade as a mtx.
Where some games allow you to get the base game, try it out and upgrade if you want. Rather than diving in at the deep end and not knowing if you’ll enjoy the game.
So this might not be the most helpful answer, but I think there have already been some great suggestions (monster hunter world and dragons dogma are both awesome).
Granblue Fantasy Relink, it is possibly the game that ticks every box. Has a single player story and is full of dragons and demons to kill, you are recruiting your crew and gearing them up for massive fights, it has some fantastic combat(had platinum games help on it).
The biggest downside is it isn’t out til February, but there is a demo on Playstation 4/5 if you have one to try it on, unfortunately PC not getting a demo.
I am also on a G Pro Wireless mouse and I love it. I did recently grab a Power play mouse mat, so wireless charging and it is really nice. I put on some glass mouse feet after a year or so of use, very worthwhile upgrade especially with the harder surface I use of the power play mat.
So I absolutely love Street Fighter 6. Almost every thing is done incredibly well(not the cost of dlc costumes though, that is fucking robbery). Has one of my favourite single player story modes, the best arcade lobby with actual interesting side stuff in it, fantastic netcode and on and on.
I also was to throw out a few other stand outs
Have loved every single one of those.
So I watched this last night. It is a pretty bad film, with the worst use of slow motion I think I have ever watched.
It feels very rushed in its plot, and the fizzles out instead of ending with a bang. Very few action scenes feel good, from bad camera angles and slow motion that highlights all the wrong things. I would also describe the film as a collection of nobody’s, very little character growth and you spend almost the entire film playing Pokémon with them.
I don’t recommend watching, and I would be surprised if a directors cut would make a difference.
I used to use it a lot. I still have some nice headphones that I like using, but they have become 2nd choice. I have bone conducting headphones that I use daily.
I prefer them, because I can still communicate, ride the bike, and never have to pause the music. But if I have to do anything loud, the wired buds are coming out to plug the ear holes.
From the first paragraph of the article
Fewer than 100 Steam users had the games installed when the malware was added, and they’ve been directly notified of the risk by email, according to Valve.
Pretty sure Rim World is installed by more than 100 people.
They are great for what they are and definitely have their place. But they are expensive and pretty mediocre in comparison to something like my KBear KS1s which are around £20, or £140 cheaper than the Openrun Pros I have.
I love them(I am on my 3rd pair), and I reach for them more often than the in ears. They are super comfortable and easy to listen too, they allow you to hear stuff around you as long as you don’t crank them up too loud, and the battery lasts ages(I got about 13 and a half hours of music out of them in a day).
In terms of audio quality, they arent great, listenable but the bass is fairly bad and the highs are thin. Mids, especially voices are pretty great though. So if you listen to a lot of podcasts they are fairly easy to recommend, music is not their strong point.
I cycle a lot, like a silly amount. So not having my in ears blocking sound is always good. I also suffer a lot from wind noise which can give me really bad headaches, which having the Shockz on helps reduce, and the music eliminates the headaches. This is why I love them so much, they are basically essential to me on rides, espcially when doing long ones. You can wear them all day listen to music and hove converstions with people without turning the music off.
I also like them when just out and about in normal every day situations, because I can keep tabs on things around me while enjoying music. This doesnt really apply if you are commuting on a busy bus or train, or it is really loud around you they kinda suck at that point. Because you probably have to turn them up too loud to drown out the environmental noise, and that can cause them to vibrate on your head which really isnt good or comfortable.
In terms of recommendations, if you cycle, run or walk a lot in nature(rather than cities) I would definitely encourage someone to try them. If you also hate wearing in ears I would recommend trying them as well, but keep in mind the audio is not great due to nature of the tech behind bone conduction.
I would not really recommend if you like blocking out sounds(commutes, noisy office, busy city streets), or you are looking for great music audio quality.
