Sneaky, aren’t they?

Nop. Disable it in the settings/apps

I also don’t have a Gemini app but if you search for Gemini in the Settings main menu, it shows up.

Fair point.

We also have a 20 square meter study where we installed AC. The unit cost around 550 euros and installation was like 70 euros cheaper. Total cost was cheaper but still hard for a median family to support.

Most families use some sort of fan or cooling column but they are quite lackluster and only work in summer.

My living room is around 36 square meters and the cheapest AC unit for that area was 650 - 850 euros. You also have to pay a certified company to install it, which cost another 200 - 300 euros.

The median salary is like 900 euros, which makes it out of reach for a large portion of the population.

Self hosting an email server is a pain in the ass and I don’t really recommend it.

Buying your own domain and using it in whatever email provider you want is very easy and gives you ownership over the email address. You may switch providers freely without needing anyone else to do anything.

It went on sale yesterday so I ended up buying it!

I have not. I have a 144hz monitor and even at 144fps games games with heavy camera movement are unplayable.

Some games don’t even have crosshairs… Another big offender was Spyro, for instance. Just the camera moving was enough to make me sick in the stomach.

Phogs

This one caught my eye as well. Split Fiction had a small section that played very similarly to this game, don’t want to spoil too much. It was fun, but I’m unsure if I want a full game about it.

Cassette Beasts

This one looks good for me heh :P

Sea of Stars

This one has been on my wishlist forever now, the mixed reviews have been turning me off. I’m not sure if these classic RPG games are her thing but we should try and figure it out.

Children of Morta

This one fell flat for me. I don’t know why, I didn’t connect with the game.

I’ve had motion sickness ever since I remember. I just can’t play shooters, it’s physically impossible for me.

Somethings help like a TV instead of a monitor, zooming out as much as possible, moving as further from tv as possible, low camera speed. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. It’s a struggle.

Trine

I do own the first 2, I totally forget about this game. Definitely gonna give it a try.

Spiritfarer

I already played and loved SpiritFarer, it was an amazing journey. I don’t want to say too much but I just can’t repeat it any time soon.

The lego games

I forgot to mention in the original post that we did play the lord of the rings lego game and I really hated it. I found the gameplay so boring…

Knights And Bikes

This one looks intriguing, I’ll check it out!

Monaco

I do own Monaco, maybe i’ll give it a try!

Thanks!

I have RetroDeck set up but I’m honestly not into emulation. I do own a Nintendo Switch and we’ve played a couple of those. They’re fun but I’m not looking into supporting Nintendo for the time being.

You know I have like 4 manuals printed and only played it once? Gotta give it a try some time!!

Broaden your horizons, start using emulators.

I get what you’re saying. I do have RetroDeck fully set up but I only use for old games that I do physically own. Most of them haven’t aged very well and aren’t of any interest to my SO.

I have enough disposable money that I’d rather support “new” games/developers rather than emulating titles for other consoles.

The Cinnabunny sequel looks so adorable. Lots of animal crossing vibes. Definitely wishlisting that!

Fortunately I already made that mistake once, a friend recommended me Spelunky 2 as a casual mining game…

I already played and loved SpiritFarer, it was an amazing journey. I don’t want to say too much but I just can’t repeat it any time soon.

Tinkering is fine, I’ll definitely check it out. Thanks!

I don’t know why I didn’t remember this. I do have a decent PC and the streaming functionality works quite well. I played Path of Exile 2 this way and it was great. Thanks for reminding me!
