  • I used both Spotify and Tidal, I have upper mid range headphones and I couldn’t tell the difference in quality.

    I’m now using YouTube Music because it costs the same as Spotify (around $4 in my country) but I also get YT Premium, so no YT ads on mobile either. On desktop I’m using an ad blocker, so by having premium I can support the creators that I watch without wasting my time with ads.



  • I had an art teacher when I was around 12 years old who hated my guts. I wasn’t the most well behaved student but the things she did was sometimes petty other times aggressive.

    She once threw a water bottle at me because I had a chat with the guy next to me. She missed but the bottle damaged the wall next to me.

    She told my girlfriend to stay after class because she wants to talk to her. She spent 10 minutes trying to get her to break up with me.

    She never failed to tell me that I’m a good for nothing and I’ll probably end up as a homeless drunk and I’ll live beside the road.

    She always made fun of my drawings and paintings trying to humiliate me in front of the class.

    I wasn’t her only target, she had one in every class.

    I started playing just before the Netflix show came out and I loved it, it quickly became one of my favorite open world car games, in the same tier as San Andreas and Sleeping Dogs.

    By the end I became completely unstoppable, I played as a melee netrunner and it was insane. I didn’t really mind because the story and world more than made up for it.






  • I hated this in GTA (mainly 3 and SA). You’re doing an escort mission and suddenly 6 guys start shooting at you with AKs from nowhere because you pissed them off in an unrelated quest.

    I prefer a Morrowind-like approach where enemies don’t scale and you have to take care not to venture too deep into some crazy gang’s territory early on.

    But it’s much much harder to make this work properly, and scaling enemies have become an expectation by players at this point.





  • I played Milon’s Secret Castle on the NES as a kid. The game is pretty much unplayable if you don’t have an infinite amount of time and patience, or a guide. There are hidden doors and items in unexpected places that are required to make progress, some rooms are dead ends that soft lock you, there are hidden exits that you have to find by pushing on a random pillar etc.

    Once I accidentally didn’t push the cartridge in all the way and the game started out in a random room and full of glitches. This lead me down a rabbithole of searching for hidden stuff, maybe even beat the game, but most of the time it just failed to start.

    Another one was San Andreas. I played it when it came out and I read online about myths like bigfoot, the meeting place of the Epsilon Program, ghosts in the desert, aliens etc. I must have spent hundreds of hours searching for these.
