$699 and a $25/month sub for what is clearly half-baked.

I appreciate I may be missing the point somewhat, but the fact is Siri (of all things) on my Apple Watch can do most of what this can achieve. 🤷‍♂️

What RSS reader is good? mac/iOS friendly.

I’ve come to realise I used Twitter as my de facto RSS feed for the longest time, and that ain’t gonna cut it anymore.

Trying to switch back to Safari after using Arc for the last year and I’m super confused by the way profiles work.

If I have tab groups setup it seems like the only way to switch profiles is to open a new window entirely? Surely there’s a way to switch within the same window right? 😬 Preferably with a keyboard shortcut or something?

@charliemchapman I use Profiles in Safari, and yeah they are a bit janky.

I’d really like the option to right click and choose to open a link in a specific profile. I can right click and add to a tab group, but not a profile.

Reports suggest that Prince of Persia hasn't met sales expectations (said to have sold ~300k).

I feel Ubisoft has an issue here when it comes to price expectations now?

The Mario + Rabbids sequel had the same issue, with many just anticipating a price drop to come fast after launch.

I have in and tried Palworld. I’ve no idea why it’s getting the attention it is. I’m glad I didn’t waste any money on it. Thanks GamePass!

This game just turned 25.

Its mere existence blew my mind when I first played it. Mario punching Pikachu square in the jaw — what a time to be alive.

More often than not, I'll try and avoid self-checkout now. They take jobs for a marginal (often non-existent) time save. https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20240111-it-hasnt-delivered-the-spectacular-failure-of-self-checkout-technology

@matt Oh, when I do use them, it's a breeze yes. It's everyone else that's the problem. 😅

One store near me, won't let you self serve a bag either 🙄, so you need to grab a member of staff in order to bag up your stuff. Just silly stuff like that.

I didn’t think I could dislike X any more , but then I wasted 38 minutes of my life to watch this weird interview with the new ‘CEO’. https://youtu.be/hYymRU-bfpQ?si=4UC1bqSaATllMzmz

@andyn I have it on now, and I'm regretting every minute.

I apparently have no willpower and can't stop buying games. The Mario titles and Yoshi I've owned digitally up to this point but everything else is brand new to me.

... and there's still more on the way.

@SimonSays I still wanna pick up Astral Chain at some point.

Debating where to get the Warhammer Boltgun game. PC / Steam or Switch? Feels like it’s a game I’d play mobile more than at a desk and the Switch is a much nicer handheld so leaning towards getting it there.

@andyn I really wanna check this one out. Lemme know what ya think if you do grab it!

New keyboard just arrived. 😍

I’m blaming @matt.

Time for one more jaunt around BOTW’s Hyrule before I can play around it TOTK’s version. Very exciting …

@andyn I did this the other night. Loved it, but I’d completely forgotten the controls. 😅

Feels wrong to speak of other places here.... but, is anyone on Bluesky yet?

@andyn "early, very basic Twitter" sounds good to me. 😄

Yeah, I'd love to give it a go if/when you do get one. ☺️

@brandrick@mastodon.social avatar

@steve Seems to be? I'm seeing an uptick in folks chatting about it on Twitter anyway.

One thing I really miss about Twitter is following news so I think I want to get back into RSS.

Is there a way for me to follow RSS feeds here and Boost them? Or does anyone have recommendations for RSS apps for Mac and iOS?

@steve @cliophate That's gotta be the Google death that hurt the most...
