Simpsons is pretty original

Hope it runs on the deck. It’s where I played the first one. It’s a game that’s great to play on the go as it’s no problem to stop playing at any point and just resume at a later stage.

- Comment on Why Are People Buying iPods Again? 5 weeks ago:
You’re correct. I just noticed I have a 50% voucher for one app so used that and some Google Rewards credits so it’s cost me nothing really. Thanks!
- Comment on Welcome, new users! 5 weeks ago:
I gotta say. Lemmy is really coming along. I’ve been here since the whole 3rd party API stuff and tired of seeing the same crappy content here. I know there’s the whole, “be what you want to see” theory but the truth is I have never really posted new content on Reddit either. I’ve always been a lurker and commenter.
Anyway I just wanted to say that content seems to be a lot better recently.

Damn. That Symphonium seems like a good app. I have Jellyfin but only a few albums to try it out. I used Finamp before which is basic and works ok but this app has way more features. The downside is it’s not free. I don’t mind paying for something but I notice my free trial will finish way before I get a chance to upload new media and give it a proper chance.
- Comment on Why do most Americans use an iPhone? 1 month ago:
It really doesn’t. It’s down to the developer. I would say that easily 75% app I use wanted me to set them up again.
- Comment on Why do most Americans use an iPhone? 1 month ago:
Just to say. I recently jumped from Android and the iPhone didn’t just work like I remember they did. Two bugs I had were adding comments on Reddit using Firefox. The keyboard would come up but my text would be off screen so I couldn’t see what I was typing. This could be a Firefox bug but it was still very weird and not one I’d seen on Android.
One bug that used to get annoying is I’d unlock the phone and when going to type, the volume would be at max briefly before going back to the volume the phone was set at. This caught me out a few times in the middle of the night.
I couldn’t get on with iOS and felt that after not using it since the iPhone 4S that nothing had really improved. Also the lack of being able to use uBlock Origin on Firefox was awful. It’s been a while since I browsed the web without an adblocker and I really hated having to do something every day. Eventually I sold the 16 Pro I had and went back to my Pixel 8.
The one thing I remember being great about the iPhone was when you upgrade you restore the backup and the phone just works. With Android you typically have to go around and login to all the apps again. Again a developer issue but certainly easier on iOS.
- Comment on NewPipe was failing me today, so I reverted back to the YouTube app. After the first ad (20 seconds), the app gave me a permanent blur. 1 month ago:

Ha. I guess that is the give away! I didn’t see that at first.

I’m puzzled. Northern Rock closed 12 years ago. The photo though doesn’t look that old?

Not worth it. The PS5 games catalogue is piss poor compared to when the PS4 Pro released.

- Comment on Anon checks out mobile gaming 8 months ago:
It was in the early days of the Apple App Store. Games were 79p to buy. No in-app purchases and were generally good indie titles. “Helsing’s Fire” comes to mind. Miss that game!
- Comment on Anon checks out mobile gaming 8 months ago:
Mobile gaming is awful these days. The vast majority are just cash grabs.
That said I look forward to Balatro being released

Fallout wasn’t too bad imo. A bit shit in places but they kept close to the game which certainly peases the gamers.

- Comment on Helldivers 2 now delisted in 177 countries 11 months ago:
Same old shit with everything. A company makes a move that users don’t like. The company just ignores all the flak they are getting online. The uproar calms down and then things continue.
We’re seeing this more and more. Windows with ads, Amazon adding ads to their prime account holders. Spotify moving lyrics to their premium subscription. The past couple of years are shit and companies continue to do whatever the fuck they want.

- Comment on Not buying a shaver from Philips again.. 1 year ago:
I didn’t get a DE razor until I was in my late 30’s. Gutted that it took me so long. I never really liked electric shavers so used your average Gillette razor and suffered from irritation up until I switched. DE razors are cheaper (in the long run) and easily a better shave. Not to mention no irritation.
I’d say DE Razors are one of my life pro tips. It’s a shame the large majority of nations use the traditional safety razor but then marketing and advertising has worked it’s magic.

I really like it, much prefer this layout over the default one.
One question though, how do I respond/reply to the original post? I’ve had to go back to the old UI as I don’t see a Reply button or comment box. I can see a Reply link on other people’s comments, but not on to reply to the main thread.
- Comment on Stardew Valley 1.6 is out now - player count on Steam explodes 1 year ago:
The dev is legendary. It boggles my mind how someone can be so talented in art, programming, music, story lines etc. Stunning.
Stardew Valley is one of a kind. I doubt we will ever see a game made this well, by a single developer and looked after for this amount of time.
