I have been using #Youtube way too much, and even paying for Premium, but it's not good for me, so I need a break from it.

Just watched the #CoyoteVsAcme movie and it was genuinely hilarious and like, actually good?
There's a native port of #TheLegendOfZelda #TwilightPrincess for desktop called #Dusklight and it's actually kind of amazing how seamless it was to setup...

Are you on #PixelArea yet? It seems like a neat project for the IndieWeb, although I have some reservations I decided to share on this #blogpost, I still choose to believe it can be better and decided to have my blog there :P

Oh yeah! I started The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on my #Nintendo3DS!
I beat Queen Ghoma (nightmare fuel for kid me a dozen years ago) and got the Kokiri's Emerald

Here's a full on #ramble from yours truly that makes no sense and I'm happy with it, featuring Rocky (the movie), just #writing because I can

Yesterday I completed #MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker
The credits mentioned there's an extra chapter but I am not sure if I'm willing to go through all the grinding it'll ask of me, the comments on some forums say it's a chore
I absolutely loved the game tho. What a ride this was, a masterpiece and an impossible game for the PSP handheld, blew me away in many, many regards
Total playtime: 22:30 hours
Review coming soon.

There was a webinar about AI and LLMs at work and it was very cringe, so I wrote about it

Welp, here's ANOTHER rather personal and introspective post about me and being kind of an introvert, and how that shows in my life online and in real life or something

Kind of inspired by some comments from yesterday's post

#MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker update!
Snake infiltrated the base, but ended up trapped and torture, there was a lot of story elements here that I really enjoyed, I am very intrigued and interested on playing the rest of the franchise honestly, loving it way more than I thought

I haven't turned on this raspberry pi 4 8gb of ram in like 3 years. I've been feeling like resurrecting it and setting it up again.
What services should I install on it?
What casing or peripherals should I use?

I am yet to read any of Silverbeg's novels, but I think I'm getting this #humbleBundle
If you are into #ScienceFiction #SciFi it might be worth checking out!

Apparently new #XTEINKX4 and #XTEINK devices will be locked down soon, which will make installing custom firmware on them impossible (or at least way harder than the minute it takes rn)
If you are going to get this device to thinker with, get it now.
Seems like it only affects the Chinese version for now, but who knows what will happen

After that mess I kept sneaking around and eventually made my way to the exterior of their underground base, where a huge sniper battle happened
After wiping them all out, another giant mecha AI battle ensued against The Cocoon
This one was pretty epic!

@xpil@fosstodon.org I have my eye on the w-800 with metal bracelet and matte case finish

@Hundstrasse I am dumbfounded by how well it runs on the psp, there's a lot of love and care put into it
The only bad thing is the lack of a second stick for this one tbh
