Sideload Firefox onto the shield and install ublock. You want the normal android version not the android TV one. Connect a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse and use the sites you'd use on your pc.

Amplitube 3 and Bias fx both have readily available torrents. I was happy enough with old versions of Amplitube that I purchased Amplitube 5 and have been really happy with it. They have plenty of metal rigs, but I haven't personally used them as I mostly stick with the tweed and plexi stuff.

Neural DSP is another paid option but everything I've heard is that they're the cream of the crop for metal tones. They also offer a 14 day trial.

They offer a subscription for $5/month that includes access to all the dlc.

Recently I've been all about the curated collections that The Criterion Channel puts out. For those that are unaware, they'll pick a couple themes and put together a list of 6-12 movies complete with a blended trailer and overview of the theme. Right now for instance they have "70s Car Movies" and "High School Horror". My only complaint is that it obviously only lists movies that are available on The Criterion Channel.

Is there anything similar out there, be it a blog, YouTube channel, whatever, but that will regularly curate lists without regards for where to actually watch the movie?

I know I could just search for best whatever genre movies I'm interested in watching, but sometimes I don't want to think about what to watch. Additionally, the curated list for a given theme gets me to branch out from what I may typically watch in that I know it's generally going to be a good movie.

While I agree with all the goals of the project, I don't understand the need for two-way traffic. I feel that would make left hand truns a real pita and you'd end up with people who then go even faster because they got "held up" waiting on cars to make a left turn. The protected bike lanes and hop extension are a no brainer (provided funding), although I really think it needs to run to Bradford at a minimum and ideally UWM.

It's the sports for me. I'm a big supercross/motocross fan and they're on Peacock. Races are sat afternoon/evening but I typically just watch it on Sunday. The year before it went to Peacock I watched on YouTube and it was a huge pita to find anything decent and avoid spoilers. Pair that with the Premier League, Indy and sports car racing, and I'm fine with $50/year. I find Peacock to be a much better value than everything except Max.

I've been following the community for about 2 years now. Started with a Retroid Pocket 2+, then picked up a Miyoo Mini for something that was a little easier to take on the go, then added an Anbernic rg35xx. I still think the rp2+ (and now the recently released rp2s) is the perfect 1st device. Generally handles everything up through Dreamcast without issue, 4:3 screen, decent enough buttons, affordable.

If you want something a little cheaper or in a verticle format, the rg35xx or Miyoo Mini+ are both good devices as well. I've never used the Miyoo Mini+, but I personally prefer the rg35xx with Garlic os to my Miyoo Mini with onion os.

If GameCube or PS2 are important to you, just get a Deck.

Had Samsungs for 10 years watching them slowly get worse and worse. Switched to a Pixel last year and couldn't be happier.

Just curious what the selling point was for those of you that have one? Most of my gaming is retro stuff on my rp2+ or rg35xx and I just don't see the appeal the pocket has over the Retroid/Anbernic alternatives. Is the quality and ability to play actual carts that big of a selling point for the higher price and waiting?

I have Peacock and Paramount for certain sports and they do this too. I Don't mind it on Peacock, but the way Paramount does it is absolutely terrible and I'll be canceling my subscription once my yearly special rate expires. Peacock will generally show about 3 minutes of ads then let you watch a whole movie. Paramount seems completely random. Sometimes you'll have 45 seconds of ads, then you might have 3 minutes of ads less than 5 minutes later. They'll regularly have 6+ mins of ads in 30 mins.

While I do hate everything moving to a subscription model and think we'll be inevitably screwed in the long run, the cloud gaming feature on gamepass has been perfect for me. My ps4 broke a few years ago and instead of trying to get a ps5, I just subscribed to gamepass. I only have a laptop, and most of my gaming is while my wife or kids are using the TV. It's so nice being able to just bring my laptop into the TV room and be able to play newer games it couldn't run natively. If I had a console or gaming pc, I'd be gaming much less.

Yes, but I typically don't start drinking right away. I usually brew 2 beers back to back so brew day runs from about 8 till 3. I'm usually multi-tasking with making breakfast or doing things around the house while mashing and getting the first beer to a boil. Then I'll start drinking around 11 or 12 when the first beer is going into the carboy.
