Damn this looks good. I’ll probably get it even though I already have Assetto Corsa and ACC. Thanks for sharing!


I’m quite deep into a second Satisfactory playthrough. My first one was quite some updates ago, so I’m really enjoying all the new stuff like ziplines, drones, hoverpacks and many more things. This time I’m playing with friends, and the multiplayer experience is definitely still very early-access.

Crashes are quite frequent, and we’re having plenty of other glitches like stuff not building (instead the hologram just remains), and other desync issues. We also had to ban blueprint saving since every interaction with saving or organizing them seems to have a high crash probability. Luckily we made a couple of nice ones before the ban that we do seem to be able to use safely.

Nevertheless it’s great fun though. We’re getting to the endgame and are now doing things that I never got to in my first playthrough (and have also changed afaik) like nuclear power. Being with more people also allows the factory to grow way larger, so its insane to see how large and complicated everything has grown. It’s a beautiful mess of many conveyor belts, tractors, trucks, trains, hypertubes, hypertubes launchers, etc.


I definitely understand that there is a market for it, but personally I’m not interested. They’re expensive, vulnerable, and I have no need for a screen like that. The high prices and vulnerability were excusable in the first few generations, but I feel like we should’ve advanced further by now. I wonder how many people really use one.


Because on my phone, using Firefox, the mobile experience isn’t too great. It’s slow, sometimes the screen just blanks out and I need to reload, and sometimes it rapid-fires new posts on the top of the page which makes it impossible to click anything


Damn, seem like a nice app. Coming from the Baconreader for Reddit app, this feels more familiar than Jerboa. It’s also one of the fastest feeling apps on my Nokia 7.2 (which is getting quite slow in some apps). Not feature-rich enough yet to replace Jerboa, but I’m keeping an eye on it nonetheless


Currently using a Nokia 7.2

Best qualities:

  • Cheap
  • Has a heaphone jack
  • Does smartphone things
  • Fell like 5 times from more than a meter of height into a stone floor and is somehow still fine (more luck than skill probably)

Worst qualities:

  • Not the fastest
  • No more updates :(
  • Randomly turns off about once every month at night while charging, which forced me to buy a backup alarm

Before this I was using a Moto G5 plus, which was a bit of a quirky phone. Before that I used my Nexus 5, which ultimately started suffering the power button issues. My Nexus 5 is still a backup phone that I use sometimes, and every time I touch it I wish that they’d release a new Nexus 5 just like the old one but with with newer hardware specs and a better battery. I love how light and small it is, I still love the screen, and I love how it looks.

From this you can probably gather that I don’t upgrade phones too often. I also don’t have any other Android devices. I did at one point dabble a bit into Android development and made a few silly apps, but that’s many years ago at this point.

For my PC’s I usually use Linux where I can, and Window$ for gaming and music production (because sadly that’s the only way to make these things work reliably).
