I work for an oil and gas brokerage company. What you say is absolutely true (Especially your last sentence!). Some wild stories. We've certainly dug up some family drama throughout the whole process.
Ahh I miss Foone's threads on Twitter/X!!! They were always such an interesting joy to read. I know they migrated off of Twitter/X and they were one of the ones I was most sad to see leave. But given 95-99% of the accounts I follow never left, I'm not going to bother to cultivate another social media account just for Foone's threads, or whomever else's which I've forgotten left Twitter/X.
Backbone One? I recently got the non-PlayStation branded one for my iPhone and I love it. I had been wanting one for a while, and finally jumped when they released the Gen 2 version with swappable mounts to support cases.
It’s been fantastic for playing SNES games on mobile. I can’t recommend it enough. Only downside would be the included app is hot trash. Always tries to sell you some subscription. Luckily, I haven’t found the need to ever use the app.
I was waiting a bit too, because it’s not exactly cheap.
Eventually I found one that was brand new that someone was selling second hand because they had bought the wrong version. They had the latest iPhone which has a USB-C port, but they had bought the Backbone One with lightning connector. I have a slightly older model. The iPhone 14 Pro. So mine has lightning connector. He got most of his money back that way, and I got a discount compared to buying one in the store. Everybody wins :)
Anyway yeah, I’ve been enjoying mine too. I’ve mostly been using it with Nvidia Now or what it’s called. Via the Backbone app. This way I can play some of the games I have in my Steam account on a computer in the cloud using my phone and my Backbone One. I only play at home on WiFi, and I’m on the free plan so I have to wait in a queue and each play session lasts 1 hour and then I have to start a new session. Been re-playing one of the modern Tomb Raider games this way and have been quite enjoying it so far.
Oh man I eat their rolled oats every morning for breakfast! I had no idea Bob Moore was an actual person with a true story and not just a face and a name on a package from some long-dead founder to fake being a small business. I’m big into eating food which is as little processed as possible and this makes me want to try their other offerings.
This is fantastic! I had no idea this project was a thing. While I love HoMM3 and the HD Mod/HoA, HoMM2 was the one I played first and will always be my favorite.
One or two minutes of use should be enough to get those spots. The real issue is people who run things things for an hour. A time limit per day would be ideal.
